Delete, delete, delete!!! You don't need his status' and the like popping up. Also tell a friend so if they see him back on your friend list they can push you back on track. While you're not feeling ok with it there's nothing good to come from being friends on Facebook. As for your confidence I say fake it till you make…

I've been missing bowls of pasta soooooo much - this might be the answer! Thanks

The only time I've managed to have a gorgeously flat stomach was when I was at my goal weight and body fat % and I was eating clean (my version of clean is no food that your great grandmother wouldn't recognise) consistently. Not sure if that's what actually worked or of it was a bit of luck though.

I hear you! Running and especially in events is seriously addictive. I started out on a 4km run 12 months ago and I've ran a race nearly every month since. Good work - keep it up.

Hi the only tips I can give are the ones that worked when my weight wouldn't move for a few weeks - I went back to weighing things like my protein etc to make sure I was counting calories correctly. I went into MFP and reset my goals/stats so my calorie number was a bit more accurate. I got my heart rate monitor cleaned…

I love big arms on a guy but once they start to walk like a gorilla it's not as hot anymore. Plus I find it more attractive when the muscles are useful rather than just huge - like watching them in the gym, playing sport, doing manly mechanical things......

I've never used SW but I was a big fan of WW as it gave me heaps of flexibility - but that was until I found MFP and I prefer this to WW now. I'd say it comes down to whatever you feel works for you and you're most likely to stick to. Good luck with it.

^^ this all the way. I'm a terrible binge eater but if I don't have the stuff in the house and all I have to binge on is air popped popcorn the calories really aren't as bad. As for that binge it's in the past - you just need to move on and forget about it. I realise how hard it is but remember you've only failed if you've…

Yep all the tips here! And I've found at my gym the meatheads are actually really nice they chat and will offer to help me take the last guys plates off a machine if they see me struggling. Just get in there and give it a shot you won't regret it!

Think positive. Sometimes when I'm having trouble getting back on track (it happens pretty often to me) I start with ok on Monday I will eat a perfectly healthy breakfast then Tuesday a perfectly healthy breakfast and morning snack the Wednesday ....... And on it goes until I'm back to healthy eating and enjoying it again!…

Maybe rather than focusing on kids exercising focus on your kids playing and being kids. When I was young I didn't exercise I was just playing. If it helps your schedule to have specified exercise times for the kids try signing them up to something fun that they can keep up when they're older like martial arts or…

I have steel cut oats (rolled oats are still pretty good if that's all you can get your hands on) made with water topped with skinny soy milk. Then I top it with 50 calories worth of blueberries and a teaspoon of organic honey. All up around 200 calories and it keeps me full from 7am till my mid-morning snack of not lunch.…

OMG it was a slaughter!! At least I don't have to feel guilty about planning my trip overseas for the end of September now.... Carlton played good footy tonight - they deserved the win.

My understanding was that your TDEE effectively included all of your activity calories where as with MFP any extra calories you burn you eat back (meaning it would be a lower number). Would that explain the difference between the numbers? Members like helloitsdan are fantastic at helping newer members work through all the…

I know tickets have sold out sooooo quickly. I have a friend who works at the AFL who had a spare ticket! I'm a collingwood supporter (don't hate me!) but I'm sure you guys have got it tonight. I even considered tipping the Blues in my footy tipping. That sounds like a good idea. I'll grab something earlier and take some…

Loving this thread!

If there's still room I would love to join!!

Hey welcome! Well when I first started out I found that having 2 - 3 sessions with a personal trainer was unbelievably helpful - they were able to set up a plan for me according to the body shape results I was after and they were able to show me how the program worked and made sure I was confident with it. If PT sessions…

My usual rule is I don't care where he gets his appetite as long as he comes home for dinner. That sai I wouldn't be happy with my guy being a platinium member at his local strip club, a boys night out or a bucks - sure go for it but I'd like to think that a guy I'm dating would have better taste than to want to look at…

Tattoos! Obsessed with them on guys.....

Yep that's it. Just adding 'good quality' calories into your diet rather than just bulking up with empty calories. Peanut butter, full cream milk all really help get your calories up and provide some good nutrients. I find that I can't eat all my exercise calories back everyday (I burn around 500 - 600 x 5 days a week) so…

Welcome! I know it feels like you're stuffing yourself full of food when you want to be losing weight!! You need to work out what works for you but with those extra calories it means you won't have to deny yourself anything so you will be more like to stick to the plan. Se ways I've found to increase my calories is to add…

And ladies after hearing about all the glorious weather all over the country (I'm really not a fan of Melbourne weather!) and with daylight savings being taken off us I'm very tempted to move further north!! ;) hope you all come out the other side of winter healthier and fitter (but from the sound of it you'll all be fine!)

Ok well sorry I've obviously posted this a couple of days too late. I personally found it quite cold over the weekend that just went and was interested to see if there was anyone else hanging out for summer again and thought we could possibly motivate each other.

I'm sooooo jealous of you all!! I should move further north where it's warm. I can't stand the cold nights here.

Well I really hope it's not correct because according to yesterday I'm only going to lose 1.5kg over the next 5 weeks :/ Just do what's right for your body and your weight will pretty much take care of itself.

Wow!! You look fantastic - keep up the great work!! You're going to be even more stunning at GW. Make sure you post your pics when you get there.

Hey everyone I'm 25 I'd love some friends around my age. Feel free to add me.
