I dunno if this is still relevant, but I just took two panadol and a magnesium tablet and they stopped within 10-20 mins...

I'm short = small 2nd dan black belt = ninja (small_ninja sounds better than small_karateka :tongue: )

That's such a huge difference! And a pretty unique way to track progress :smile: You should be really proud of how far you've come.

Looking pretty damn fine, younger too; congrats! :smile:

I lost around 20 pounds or so in high school, my lowest weight was probably 53-54 kilos but I didn't maintain it well so ended up at around 56 kilos. I still wasn't completely satisfied with how I looked but I settled because I thought I couldn't maintain the lower numbers. But the reason I couldn't maintain those numbers…

I noticed the love handles on my back had gone, and my already small boobs had shrunk :frown:

Major difference - congratulations! :smile:

After being continuously unhappy with each and every photo posted of me on Facebook... I knew I'd gained a little bit of weight, but just tried to accept it. After actually confronting myself about it and realising how unhappy I actually was with my appearance, I decided to do something about it. I know I don't have a lot…

I'm in a long distance relationship and I've told him. Same deal too; he's really slim and eats like a starving child but doesn't gain much weight at all. I won't see him till Christmas so I don't have to worry about him noticing my eating habits for a while, but I tell him everything that's going on with me, and this has…

A size 2 is tiny and really only looks good on really short people, IMO. I am pretty short (5'0") and even I'm not aiming for a 2! I'm an NZ size 10 atm (which is a US size 6, I think), but I'd really like to be an 8 (US 4). EDIT: I think the sizing conversion charts might be a little off... some of them are saying a size…

I make it like this: 1/3 cup oats 1 Tablespoon wheat bran 2/3 cup milk (or 1/3 milk and 1/3 water) Pinch salt Pinch cinnamon Cook in microwave medium power for 2 mins. Stir. Then a further 45 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave. I top it with banana and brown sugar. Or, for chocolate oatmeal, same as above but just add in…

If you have time, you should try these pancakes: 1 mashed banana 1/3 cup oats 1 small egg A little bit of wholemeal flour to get the right texture Some cinnamon Mix and cook like regular pancakes - circa 400 calories (maybe a teeny bit more depending what you put on top of em). Or if you've got time and prefer something…

Tasted disgusting - not enough liquid so I added extra cheese. Was horrible and still too powdery - baking soda made it taste gross :frown: Disappointed. I bought cheese especially.

Ditto

I totally agree with this. You can find someone, work really hard on your relationship together and come to the conclusion that you both want to spend the rest of your lives with each other, but that by no means implies that this can only happen once in a lifetime.

I find that the biggest thing to overcome is just leaving to go to the gym; once you're there it's fine. But I guess that's kind of irrelevant if you think it's too far away to begin with. Most of the people I know with equipment at home have treadmills coz it's a lot easier to vary the intensity of your workout, I think…

Yeah, abuse of them IS bulimia - but I'm confused as to whether this is abuse - the doctor said you could take two tablets a day right? If they still don't work and you haven't gone for a week and half, I don't see why you can't take a tiny bit extra? It's not healthy to go that long without movement, I don't think? I…

Doesn't hurt nearly as much as your legs do >.< Having said that, make sure you trim a bit down there and take a couple of painkillers before you go - you'll be sweet :smile:

I'm by no means an expert, but it sounds like it'll only count as bulimia if you start taking way too many of those tablets (i.e. if you are going regularly, like everyday or couple of days or so, then you probably don't need to up your intake, whereas if you haven't been in like a week and a half it's probably reasonable…

76 kilos is a MASSIVE loss - you should be so proud of yourself :)

Flirting - when they're reciprocating or open to it Creepy - when they're not; if you know way too much about them, follow them around, or keep trying it on with them despite getting the feeling that they're probably not that keen then you're being creepy. So by that analysis, yes, looks will probably come into it a little…

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this ridiculous - seriously, PNP is NOT a legitimate form of birth control; it's the first lesson you learn in sex ed :laugh: If he's ok with wearing a condom sometimes, he should be ok with wearing one all the time.

Wow that sounds really good - I don't eat a lot of omelets, but when I do it's generally just the standard ham, cheese, capsicum and maybe a bit of pineapple.

Yeah, my BMR is supposedly around 1,300-1,400, but my TDEE is more like 2,000 I don't use a HRM, but am definitely thinking about investing in one Thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it :smile:

Keeping a steady run for 30 minutes is really good :smile: I can do 2 miles in just over 20 minutes - I did 3.7 (6 km) in 37 minutes the other day which made me pretty pleased with myself :happy:

No, you're completely entitled to read/view what you want - but you shouldn't contribute to threads like this where people are looking for advice as to how much they should eat. By advocating a diet that's less than 1,000 calories because "you really don't feel that hungry", you're implying that's normal behaviour, and…

I made these this morning - except I didn't process the oats and I just used two small eggs, instead of 3 whites and a whole, and added some wheat bran and about 2 tablespoons of flour to get the right consistency - they tasted really good! :smile:

Wow, I didn't realise how touchy a subject this is till I read all these comments...

Just adding to the trend: I generally log everything I eat, and so that includes fruit and veges - I eat a lot of bananas and they're unfortunately pretty high in calories; often I have to think twice before grabbing a second banana coz I can't afford the calories :frown:

Hair removal from the chest and back is fine, but I can't stand it when guys take it off their legs and arms :indifferent:
