Yeah, I'd try and move once the contract is up - don't feel like you have to stay, you don't! :smile:

Or steak + salad An omelette with a measured amount of cheese with a few cooked potatoes and other veges. Just try for something with a decent amount of protein in there.

Lots of veges + meat/tofu/eggs + soy sauce (preferably Japanese) Cook meat and stir fry veges in a tsp of oil with crushed garlic and a bit of ginger, add soy sauce (and eggs if using) last to taste. Top with a lot of pepper and paprika if you like heat. You can bulk it up with lots of veges to feel full and the…

Some of these are really great responses. I think mindfulness was something I was really getting at; something that I'm looking to improve when it comes to all aspects of life, but also something that this weight loss progression is encouraging - thanks Dawn! :smile:

No one? Sweet then :tongue:

OMG your boobs are amazing :P I wish I had a figure like that, you look great :)

You look great! :flowerforyou:

1. What did you have for breakfast? Today I had oatmeal made with water with added wheat bran, cocoa, brown sugar, egg and banana. 2. How much water do you drink per day? I don't track water. I drink a lot of herbal tea though (including green tea) and I'll generally have around 4 cups a day. 3. What are your favorite…

Hot :tongue:

It's understandable, but maybe not justified. If he wasn't happy, he should have just left.

Well, me and my SO took that plunge about 4 months after we met (and a month and a half after we decided to label the relationship and become exclusive).

I can't get enough of cumin (with a bit of oregano and paprika) for spicy dishes. Cinnamon + vanilla is a must for baked fruit.

I kind of get the impression that you are a little insecure about her being there teasing the guys looking "hot" in her teeny workout clothes while you're there busting your *kitten* getting a proper workout in. You were right to say something to her though. But, whatever, let her play the dumb bint putting her privates on…

Don't practice on your knees, it doesn't help. Like others said, a 45 degree standing one (leaning on stairs or a counter) or static press ups could be good. You've pretty much just gotta keep trying to do them properly. Try do one every day if you struggle just doing one and then build from there. I learnt press ups from…

Hi everyone! I'm Katy, 5'0" and from New Zealand. I started New Rules on Wednesday and have so far completed one round of Workout A and B. I was lifting heavy before but not following a consistent program. I also keep pretty active with karate, cardio and gym classes - I'm looking into starting kickboxing next week :) I'm…

You often gain a lot of water weight in the week running up to your period - so it could be that? But other than that, I think a lot of people have fluctuations - your weight is affected by a lot of factors (e.g. too much sodium, or not enough fibre etc).

Not new to fitness, but fairly new to lifting. Maybe I should try the weight room next Monday.

Depending on your gym, you probably won't find machines together :frown: Good luck though :tongue:

Fridays are the best :tongue:

Cheers guys :wink: My point was that I do go every other day, but Monday crowds make the Monday workout pretty damn tough. If people found the motivation to go everyday then the gym would feel more inclined to buy more machines.

Currently 55kg - a 3kg loss will put me at my goal of 52kg (but I don't think I'll get there by the end of September, just need a motivation boost :smile: )

Like the previous poster said, don't stress too much about meeting the deadline and aim for healthy sustainable weight loss. But if you'd like some tips for that: a) At the moment I'm trying to control my snacking by allowing myself to snack on as many raw veges (and a bit of fruit) between meals - keeps me full, healthy…

I'm pretty shocked by all the posters telling OP to dump her partner. He's probably worried for her given she's already a healthy weight and has an unhealthy goal weight. Also she has "all or nothing" tendencies which can go over the top (I'm on her friends list). Not everyone on here is overweight with lazy partners…

While I don't think I'm quite at the point where I "punish myself" with cardio, I do a lot of cardio to "earn" food so I can eat more. I'm only little so my RDI is correspondingly little... it bums me out. However, I think the author's right in that this can start leading to negative associations with food and exercise.…

Haha, I posted a status concerning the paleo diet along these same lines just yesterday - great minds :happy:

Marriage Equality* - marriage is marriage. I think at the moment, the law comes across as treating any non-heterosexual relationship as "less than" which doesn't make sense considering it's generally considered wrong to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation. If gay people want to get married, and…

Don't really have the time to commit to watching 1.5 hours on protein - any way you can just provide a quick summary? Is the OP right or not?
