no :bigsmile:

you have to look after number 1, well done!

oi,oi,oi...... Melbourne

my hips were the last to go, but even then for me I think it's hard to be happy when naked you'll always find something. in the end it all goes, hang in there!

I like my legs and dont like my boobs, after breastfeeding and losing weight they look like deflated ballons, oh well thankgod for a good bra! no one knows!

Hi, when I was near the end and hit a plateau, I started cutting back on sugar alot and the weight just fell off. Goodluck and don't give up!

Hi, when I plateued I started tracking my sugar and the weight just fell off though I did have a headache for a few days, I used stevia instead, goodluck and hang in there!

Hi, congratulations! I stopped logging when I found out I was pregnant and at 22 weeks had gained about 22 pounds, so for the past 2 weeks I have started to log again and walk for 30 min a day and feel 100% better, I eat about 2000 calories a day which is heaps of food for me, I have just stopped eating the bad stuff…

Hi, I am 16 weeks pregnant and have put on about 13 pounds so far. This is my second pregnancy and I statred out a lot lighter this time about 138, so I'm not stressing too much, last time I breastfed for 9 months and ended up losing heaps. I just walk for exercise and log at about 2000 cals. I would love to run as I did…

Hi, The thing I noticed with flaxseed is for is me, that it made my hair very soft and healthy, people even used to comment on it. goodluck with your journey:flowerforyou:

I sometimes get a bit obsessed too, the way I deal with it is I force myself to have a bad day , If I go out for dinner with friends and at least 1 rest day a week, if I don't do this I know that I will spiral out of control, not that I have ever had anorexia but I have read enough about it to see that once you start down…

you have to tell the cops , maybe the next person wont be as lucky.

I have been here a while,must be a couple of years now, I am past my goal which was 70kg , now I am down to 63kg, I still log everyday but I don't post much, never have. I think I will log forever only because I know this is what works for me but sometimes I think it must be a bit obsessive because I think I know how much…

start tracking your sugar, once you get rid of it you don't even have to exercise to lose weight.

not sure about the sodium but it looks like the bar your having for breakie has a lot of sugar in it, I have oats or weet bix and sweeten it with stavia a narural sweetener with a tiny bit of milk and some frozen berries it's very yummy and fills you up for a long time, I wouldn't worry about the sugar in fruit too much.…

Hooray for you, each time you resist the easier it gets :flowerforyou:

for me it used to be sugar, so I gave it up and the cravings stopped, I replaced it with protein snacks, nuts eggs etc or grapes. life is so much better now not thinking about chocolate all the time, that sugar is bad! goodluck

I just went through this 2 weeks ago, I always wanted chocolate after a meal, so I use natvia natural sweetener in my tea and eat dark chocolate and grapes instead, I had 2 days of head aches but I'm fine now and also I started snacking on protein foods like nuts and boiled eggs. It's hard but so good not to be thinking…

I just put it down to fat days, some days I feel fat and I weigh 140, i know I'm not but I think it's just that negative tape that plays in my head sometimes, fat ugly hopeless but I ignore it now when before I would go to the fridge and eat it away. So now on these days when I look in the mirrror instead of finding things…

you didn't do bad you just let your hair down and had some fun, relax life is not worth it if you cant have a night out. take it easy there will always be nights like those as long as it's not too often I'm sure it will not make much difference.

you are definately not alone, I was there a few months back and I totally felt the same, it was like I was doing all this hard work exercising and eating right and people would say "you don't want to lose anymore weight it wont suit you or are you anorexic how come you know all the calories your too obssessed. I still eat…

Thanks to everyone for the advice and ideas:flowerforyou: I think I will wait it out a few days and see if I'm still the same and maybe add a boiled egg as a snack or some almonds as everyone seems to think that protein works better, fingers crosssed I'm hoping, I just can't believe how sugar has affected my body. I have…

bent over rows, there are some good training tips on you tube and you can see the correct form,

Thanks everyone for the help, I will definately be doing the popcorn and I will try tahini or bean spreads if the olive oil tastes yuk. :flowerforyou:

Hi, I don't eat all my exercise calories, For the first year I usually had about 250 left and for the past few months now I'm fitter and exercise more I have about 400 left. My weight loss has been steady and I am down to 63kg but I do exercise everyday so I always eat about 1500 cals a day and I never get hungry, Maybe…

I do interval training, I used to do 1 minute hard then 2 minutes easy for 30 to 50 minutes now I do 1 minute hard 1 minute easy, for the hard I turn it up a few gears and go flat out, I like intervals as you can make it up any way there are no rules and time goes quick. Goodluck:smile:

Thanks guys,:smile: Well my goal is to tone up, I have lumpy thighs. I am at 64kg now and am not really fussed about losing much more, I do spinning and running and I thought I would start weights, I used to do a pump weight class when I used to go to gym and I was always sore the next day and I did see results but now as…

I tell myself that I am not doing this to reach a "goal weight" this will be for the rest of my life. Find an exercise you like doing, even if it's walking fast, it might take a bit longer to lose weight but you are more likely to stick to it. I still have a little bit of naughty food for my sanity. Don't beat yourself up…

Goodluck with your juice fast, I am on day 7 of a juice fast and I am breaking it tonight. The first 2 days were pretty average but by the day 3 I had heaps of energy and I feel as though I don't get stressed out as much anymore. I didn't expect to feel so good so if you can get through those first couple of days and start…
