Thanks Jimmie.......my weight training is 2x routines that I do during the week. Both take about 45 mins and I'm doing a superset of 3x 10 reps. so lifting fairly heavy. Things like wide and close grip chin ups (assisted), Lat pull down, leg curl and extension, Smith machine lunges, upright row, dumbbell chest press and…

I haven't been recording in my diary.....been doing Lite and Easy for the last month or so, so I have been eating at about 1500 calories...

That's what I have been doing but it's not working! I need some more specific advice, because what is starting to happen is that I am losing motivation fast and that leads to "Screw it I'll eat what I want" (bad weekend this weekend!) and I do not want to go down that path - been there, done that! I need something to work…

Really Mads 1997? Sorry, Don't mean to sound rude at all.....I was worried I wasn't doing enough because I am not budging this weight!

Figured it out, thanks!

Is there a way to add the specific weight of the food? I haven't been logging food....just using the forums for advice and motivation....but I think I might start. However when I looked quickly, it seemed like you could just do servings sizes. Eg. I looked up mushrooms, but the choices were large, medium, small, 1 cup, 1/2…

I have been eating Lite N Easy for 5 days now and I am impressed....the food is really yummy and everything so far has been fresh and tasty. I like not having to shop or think about preparing food! Lite N Easy recommended the 1500 calorie option for me but I went with the 1200 so I could add in a few extras like some hot…

I have put in an order for a week and I get the first delivery on Tuesday....looking forward to giving it a go! I think I will probably need to add extra vegetables in, but we'll see what happens. My biggest worry is that I will be hungry after dinner, but hopefully the meals are nice and filling.

I drink 1-2 cans of Coke Zero per day. I use it as a hunger buster....if I'm feeling really hungry (usually in the afternoon) I have a can and it tides me over. It makes me feel full and it certainly doesn't make me crave sugar....in fact it helps me with the sugar cravings! I was seeing an accredited dietician for a while…

I got a recipe from a naturopath for protein pancakes, and the best thing is that it is one serve, so it's easy to make for one person! Then obviously you can just double, triple, etc for more people. 1 scoop (or 2 tablespoons) of protein powder 1 scoop (or 2 tablespoons) of almond or hazelnut meal 1 egg Either 1/8 cup of…

OK, probably should have mentioned that I'm in Australia....I don't think we have either of those brands! well if we do, I have never heard of them!

Thanks Bree....I'm undecided yet on what to do....there have been days where I've eaten breakfast when I'm not hungry, just because "you should" and then I always think, ah I could have saved those calories for later when I am hungry! Then on other days, if I don't eat breakfast - sometimes it works and sometimes I make…

After not eating breakfast for a couple of weeks I am finding that it's getting harder and harder to keep it up and keep making good chocies thoroughout the day. I didn't eat breakfast this morning, but was starving by 9am, ate OK during the day but blew it tonight by sitting here eating handfuls of lollies. Maybe I should…

I do weight training as well, but I just wanted to know how to make the most efficient use of my time regarding cardio when I do it. Sometimes I only have time to call into the gym for half an hour....I'd rather do some intervals and burn as many calories as possible because I wouldn't achieve much in the weights room in…
