EEK 21 days to start a habit.. wow thats a wise piece of information., Im wondering what small change I can make to my daily habits that will help me to sustain a healthier lifestyle / lose weight... ...after some reading and pondering I have decided i want to make a concious effort to eat really SLOWLY!!! apparently it…

I weighed my self this morning and I havn't budged!!! Ive been eating pretty well and I started exercising.. even though the scale hasn't moved I actually feel better about myself and Im not so lethargic all the time!! just wish those scales would budge..

Thanks Chipgal!! Im going to have my second salad for either dinner or lunch today!!! this challenge is great!!! I feel like I have to behave now because Im being held accountable by everyone on this thread!!! its fantastic!!!! its hard but I need "big brother" to be watching over me!!!

Hi Myth I was reading this message you posted the other day. I was out having lunch with my sister and her little boys. Usually I would just cram all the food in my mouth. But thinking about your post made me realise. Im here because I enjoy my sisters company. I get to spend time with my little nephews. So why focus on…

WOW EEK how did you manage to resist the temptation of Macca's. GOOD ON YOU!!!! I have to avoid fast food places like a plaque or I will end up ordering way too much. self control self control!!!!!! argh need to pee again.. Ive taken on mindless drinking and I keep wanting to go..

All right Im in for the challenge!!!! I can now have mindless drinking today.. and Im about to go vege store to get some lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, olives - Im going to make the yummiest salad tonight!!!! :love:

I would suggest 1hour of cardio at leat 4 times a week and add strength training. Muscle will help you burn fat, it boost your metabolism so your burning more calories (even when your not exercising). You could alternate one day cardio, one day strength training.

Welcome Spiritinthesky2k Those are really good plans you have there!!! Way to GO!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

Ive just come back from Hamilton.. Spent the weekend relaxing with some friends its about 2 hours drive away. I weighed myself this morning and I have put on 1kilo which i think is about 2pounds. Arrgghhh!! But this morning I went and did my first work out at the gym,. yes I have re-signed up at the gym again.. its a new…

Hi Myth I can't do your mindless drinking tonight!!! I have to have a blood test done tomorrow and it requires no food no water for 12hours. I wonder if I heard the doctor wrong... I can understand no food before certain blood test.. BUT NO WATER????? hmmmmm.... thats tough!!! maybe I need to check this again. Im doing…

Hi NewBeginning If its really late and you have lots of calories to eat through don't feel that you have to cram in an extra 1000 calories. If your under by alot one night - if its only once in a while that this happens its not bad on the body. Sometimes changing your calorie intake like that (but not doing it often) is…

HMMMMMMmm... Not entirely sold on this,.. Fibre is not a bad thing. Helps keep you regular and helps with Satiety!!! - which is important if your trying to lose weight Everything in moderation I say!!!

Hope your feeling better EEK!! Im just putting my feet up.. have just had a busy week.. need some time out this weekend.

I am soooo tired!!! this has been such a busy week!! Roll on weekend!!!! hmmm I should get some exercise scheduled into this weekend, Im heading away to stay at a friends place. Its a birthday event so there will be lots of food!!! I must practice my 'say no to food' muscle!!!!

yes!! and I realised that alcohol had a HUGE amount of calories!! I didn't realise that liquids could make you put on pounds!!! Now Ive cut back on my alcohol and juice!! its all water now !!!!!!!!

Myth - we had a dreadful winter last year. It was FREEZING!! I LIKE YOUR MINDLESS WATER DRINKING - Im doing that right now :wink: klkelley - WOW Im pleased to hear you came on top!!! Keep up the good work :happy: Everyone - I had a good day today!! I exercised and I kept in my calorie range (yeh yeh yeh!!) I went for a run…

tlapdx72 - I use to belong to a gym and I use to go about 4times a week and I never lost a pound if anything I put on weight. That was a couple of years ago. I was good wth my exercise back then but I had no idea of what I should or should not be eating. I had no concept of calorie counting. I know it sounds kind 'simple',…

I really shouldn't have eaten that TRIFLE!!! OOH!! Tomorrow is another day!

Thanks Myth!! I find weekends are the hardest days to keep calories down and exercise up!!! With summer in full swing down in NZ everyone is having BBQ's or picnics! so much food! and its wedding season here!! ahh more reasons to eat!!! .....not that I ever needed many reasons to eat heheheheh!!!! Well its great seeing…

I was waaaay over on my calories yesturday.. but today I made up for it by going for a walk/run. Tomorrow Im going to go for another walk/run but will shift the balance to more running.. well I will try !!

Hi Everyone. Its Friday night and Im tired!! Had a very busy week at work! I have been good and I did Jillian Michaels 30day shred 4 days in a row now!! My body isn't hurting as much (maybe Im getting use to exercising again) But.... For some terrible terrible reason today! I was HUNGRY!! It was so tough sticking to my…

L1D4 DONE!!!! My body doesnt seem to be hurting as much. Ive done it 4 days in a row (on level 1). Hope Im doing it properly!!!

Hi nicgetfit I was just telling my BF the other night how terrible it is. You work so long and hard to lose all this weight and in a matter of weeks or days you can put it all back on!!! Its been nice reading everybody's story. This is very encouraging knowing that there are many others also working hard to achieve a…

Hi Guys Id like to join too. Ive been a member since mid last year, was doing very well with an eating and exercise routine. Then work became very hectic and stressful!! So I slipped up..
