I'm all over that! About to start day one, for the millionth time. I'm excited/looking forward to abusing poor Jillean from my loungeroom.

I'm gonna be difficult! #4 - love your smile an the survivor cap #10 - banging body, you should be proud CURRENT - your eyes pop with the dark hair, love it!

Thanks for so many replies so soon :) It just seemed like it was too high for an exercise where I didn't feel like I was really pushing myself. It kept beeping at me saying I was going 'Out of the Zone' so I'll have to turn the beeping off I think. I guess all I can do is try it a few more days and for a few more work-outs…

I weigh-in every morning. I seem to be the opposite of everyone else, I think it's the best motivator ever! If I don't weigh every day then I tend to get a bit slack. Knowing that I'm accountable for everything that goes in my mouth is the only way I stay on track. Yes, that's bad, I have shocking self control - if I know…

This is a strange thread. Yes it's meant to be a bit of fun, but I think there is a bit of bias and ego-boosting going on. Sizes don't mean anything without measurements and heights, and everyone likes something different. Being thin doesn't mean you don't have any 'curves', curves are built into your body shape - a chubby…

I use a 'nutrition supplement' with mine - Vanilla flavoured Sustagen. I don't know if that's available to you and it's probably not high enough in protein, but if you mix your oats with a vanilla flavoured powder + some milk + some cinnamon + some frozen fruit. Super yummy and filling :)

The wine we've got is... I have no idea. It has some kind of custom label with a girl in a bikini on it? My boyfriend won it at his family's Christmas haha. Maybe I should just save it for a special occasion. I made him taste it and he said it's ok, not as nice as usual but more than edible - what a relief! I love MFP, I…

Thanks guys :) No more tinned tomatoes left, but I might chuck the last of the cherry tomatoes we have in the fridge in. Might go the tomato paste first though, it could be just what I need, thanks! We only have red wine in the house, could that work? I used dried basil/Italian herbs and fresh parsley. I just tasted it and…

I do :) It hasn't been consistent lately, but I'm heading back in the right direction as we speak. 1270 Cal goal.

Type '1000 kJ to Cal' into Google, that will convert it. Obviously change the 1000 to whatever it is, but yeah. Make sure you have the capital letters in the right place though, or it won't work. I'm from Australia too, so I know what it's like :)

Thanks for your reply :) I do try to keep my posture good at all times, especially in that damn chair - sometimes I feel like that's what makes my back sore, if I curl in and relax those muscles, it gives me a little relief. I think a visit to a massage therapist may be in order sometime soon, sounds like a good excuse to…

really great info hemlock2010 :) I'd never thought of a trampoline, that's great thinking. I got up early this morning and did a 10min pilates video then a turbo jam video, which was super quiet . I'll talk to the doctor about that as well, it's not so bad most of the time, it's just exasperated by exercise - particularly…

If you opened your food diary to the public, we could give you some better advice about what you can do to start increasing your calories in ways that won't make you feel sickly full. I know it's more than just 'not being hungry', it's the psychological aspect that's making this harder. I think you should have a read…

bump love the look of this rotation :)

Thanks guys :) Our eggs are sometimes in refrigerated sections, usually not. The egg whites in the store aren't around them, but I'll double check next time I'm at one of the big supermarkets. I use eggs/egg-whites a lot at the moment already, I was just getting frustrated with throwing yolks out... and the fact that…

Grilled pork loin chop with 50g of apple sauce + half a BIG carrot steamed with honey in the microwave + 100g of frozen peas, corn and carrot (because I forgot to buy beans at the shop) + 1 small baked potato w/ Italian herbs. And two crepes with berries and cream for dessert ... mmmmm

I find little things help reduce your calories for the day. My diary is public, but hasn't been filled much recently... if you are really bored you can go way back and find some good days :) I usually do cereal with 1/2 cup low fat milk, I measure it to make sure I'm not going over and have cereals like Special K, Sultana…

I'd be curious for answers to this too. Any extra ways that we can increase iron in our diets without supplements? I'm buying some more iron and Vit C in the groceries today but what else do people suggest?

I've been wondering this for a while, and this seems like the thread to ask - what on earth is creamer? It sounds fantastic! I have - 2 tsp of instant coffee (Nescafe Blend 43) - 1 tsp of white sugar - Hi-Lo milk to top it off... not sure how much. Planning on measuring it tomorrow :)

Yesterday I bought a C-Cup and a D-Cup bra! Today my D-Cup doesn't fit as well as I hoped after a day of wear, but I don't care... I was a D-Cup (same band size) when I was 12!! It's been 8 long years haha

I started it a little while ago, got to day 14 and then fell of the wagon with exams. Started it again today, yay! My advice from my experience is: 1. You should be prepared to be a bit sore, my knees have been a bit owwy - but they've hurt most since I've stopped. Be careful with the form, do as much as you can of the…

Oh my freaking goodness. Did day one of level 2 yesterday and day two today. I actually had an asthma attack just before the end of day one, I wasn't able to do the last minute of abs because of it - had to pause and drink some water and walk around for 5-10 minutes... still did my cool down though. I can't remember the…

Last day on Level 1 today, yay! I did a weigh in today as well, I've lost one pound since my last weigh in - two weeks ago. One of those weeks was a 30 Day Shred, the other was me being slack and eating bacon and eggs and chocolate when I visited my sister for the weekend... SO freaking happy!! I've also lost 3 cm - bit…

I'm doing day 9 today, in about an hour actually haha I always warm up a lot before doing these workouts, just because my knees do get a little sore (yes I know, proper form... my bad). I do 30 minutes on my Wii Fit doing some short activity game things (Kung Fu, Obstacle Course, Snowballs and Skateboarding) and muscle…

I'm 5 foot 1 and my wrist is 14cm ish - 5.5 inches? I don't know how the whole inches thing works... This put me at a medium frame, which I'm surprised by, I've always liked to think of myself as small framed :P I weigh 100 lbs at the moment, am still losing on a healthy diet and my muscles are on the way up. My legs, arms…

I don't get cravings often and I'm usually able to shove them aside, but on days (such as today) I get huge cravings for anything with a crunch! Oh my gosh I just love something crunchy and chewy and wonderful, it makes me feel like I'm really eating something and I love it.

mmm sounds good. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out next time I'm at the bottle-o, great tip!
