Haha - That's a good question! I personally would only wear one if I was a toned size 10 (Aus) or under but I have seen curvey size 14's rocking it with their confidence!! Got my first one piece last summer, wasn't happy about it but I was a 12 so for my own piece of mind it had to be done! Really good question thou, haha,…

I find this very discouraging - I thought we were all here for the same reason and here to support each other?!? The poor lady obviously feels bad about her 'cheat meal' and doesn't need to hear she is weak... We all have bad/off days. In terms of cheat days/meals - I try not to schedule them in weekly or anything like…

Welcome Kerry! I'm also Aussie - Not a mum thou! ;-) I joined about 18months ago and lost almost 10kg (pretty much hit my goal!) but i went travelling for 3months and put it all back on so I am here again to lose that same 8-10kgs and keep it off this time! I will send you a friend request - We can work through it…

Thanks Girls!! :happy: I suppose we're all different!! I can eat lots of chocolate at this time, haha - But none whatsoever today!! I fill up by making yummy juices in my juicer, so at least there's something in my tummy!

Great work - You look really, really good - Keep it up!! :flowerforyou:

I hear ya!! I also think its a case of 'we want what we can't have" which makes it even more super annoying! I have a very 'broad' look and I hate it - I have the shoulders that look and feel a 1metre wide! But... All I can say is when we have these feelings we need to find something about ourselves that we do like... and…

Hi Zoe! Im Amber! I think having something like your wedding to work towards will make things much easier for you! I find it helps me to put old 'skinny' photos of myself or even celebs on the fridge or pantry door to remind myself I shouldn't eat whatever bad thing i want to! Good luck - and how exciting about your…

Hi Jeni - I lived in Dublin this time last year! I actually lost 8kg's and started MFP about 18months from Dublin!! We can do it!! :)

For consistency I would measure yourself at the same time of day - It probably won't make as much difference as the scales would but I'd say you'd get the best results in the morning - Good luck! ;-)

Hi Michelle! I'm Amber, also Australian (from Sydney) - I'm 29 and have lost and gained the same 10ish kg's about couple of times in the past 5 years or so! lost it last year for my best friends wedding in Sep but have since gained it back - Hopeless I know! (and before that gained it travelling, hence having to lose it…

Thanks for the support guys! ;-) Erica - I'd be happy if I could lose that same 8kg's again!! You look fab in your pic! ;-) Skye - Yay for the 2kg's!! MFP helped me last time simply by having a goal, a number to work towards in terms of calories... I only disappointed myself if that calorie count went into the 'red' - I am…

Hello and Welcome! I was here about a year ago and lost almost 10kg - but put it all back on when travelling (well that's my excuse!)... So I am back again - MFP is a great tool! Welcome and good luck! :-)

Your story sounds so similar to what I have gone through over the past 10 years - I obsess with food, whether its not eating it or going through stages were I eat too much of it. (and then gain the weight back). Similar to your numbers (although I am Australian so I work in kilo's). After very rare sessions of eating too…

I sometimes just cut up lean ham into squares, and melt LCC in the microwave with the ham and stir it around - Yummy, light and a great snack! :-)

WOW!! You look amazing!! Such an inspiration! :-)

Yep - Always boobs too! :( Glad I am not alone! Next is my neck and chest area, I look super thin there but still have a tummy and butt! Annoying! Tummy is last to go! :(

Thanks guys - you've all been so helpful! That was my first post but I LOVE the support!! Thank you to you ALL!! :-) P.S. Yay to metabolism speeding up! ;-)

Yep - always just look forward - We all make mistakes and fall off the wagon! If I don't know how many calories are in something, I also pop it into myfitnesspal before I eat it... And if its too high in calories, I either portion control if I really want or choose something else! You can't blame yourself if you didn't…
