I have EIA, I get it all the time and I can't prevent it. I've had asthma since early childhood. I usually take my ventolin about 15-20 minutes before a workout and that tends to help a lot, but I still need my puffer with me whenever I exercise. I also have asthma that is sensitive to the air temperature so if I walk…

I usually crave comfort savory hot foods like meat pies. And I WILL HAVE THEM, if I feel like it. But I also make sure I eat less calories during the day to compensate. Usually that gets rid of my craving and I am ok for the rest of the time :)

What about adding things to eggs? Like omelettes? :D

Agreed! Also, how is bread fattening? You should really focus on changing your eating habits. It's no good for your body if you use all your calories on crap food. That's not teaching yourself anything really.

I have a love/hate relationship with breakfast. Some mornings I'm like CAN'T I JUST SLEEP MORE. Other days I hoover it down like I haven't eaten for a week. I think variety keeps me interested :)

Isn't that kind of like saying "is it better to do the math or to simply guess?" o.O

Mine is too, and I WAS TOLD THE SAME! What does that even mean? lol I was like "but I WAS STILL FAT. I don't understand..."

Nup, but I plan to go on a massive shopping spree when I reach my goal weight!! :D

I've been doing the 30 Day Shred and I've lost 4cm in a couple of weeks :D

I am surprised at how fat I still feel despite losing 20+kg :( It's also really annoying how COLD I get! It's like I need to take a sweater with me everywhere I go.

Youtube Tracy Anderson - she used to be a ballet dancer who has a heap of arm workouts. I tried one for 2 minutes, no weights required and couldn't lift anything the next day haha. Try this: http://tinyurl.com/bvdu8es

What is the point in logging everything if you're not going to log it all? I log it all even when I am RIDICULOUSLY over! Haha.

It's a DVD set from Jillian Michael's that comprises of 3 workouts (level 1, level 2, level 3) that you do over a 30 day period. You do level 1 for 10 days, level 2 for 10 days and level 3 for 10 days. Each workout is 20 minutes and incorporates, strength, cardio and abs for an all over body workout. I'm currently doing…

How about calling things Unprocessed food. Begins with a U.

HELLO TALL PERSON! You are an inspiration. I am 5'11, it's great to see how weight looks on tall frames :) Thank you for posting!

One day will not break you. If you go over your calorie limit, just eat better the next day. You can't undo it, just make sure it doesn't become a regular thing. It'll slow weight loss progress but it won't STOP it. It's great to accept that this will sometimes happen, just focus on eating right the next day and stress…

From Brisbane. Let's talk about the weather, AND HOW WE MIGHT BE GETTING A CYCLONE WEDNESDAY? Eeek :)

My nutritionist still eats KFC (he isn't even slightly overweight) on the odd occasion when he feels like it, but makes sure he's still within his calorie intake. It's too boring not to indulge once in a while!

To those peeps, I say EAT A SLICE OF PIZZA, that should help get you there ;) Also, totally agree on losing weight and not starving. I went to a nutritionist who told me I was eating too little. I was like "EH? BUT I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT", now I'm eating more food, my tummy is full, I'm not starving and still losing weight.

Haha! Best.

I'm 5'11! *Tall person hug* Honestly, how good are tall person hugs? If someone is taller than me, it's a miracle and I always attack them for hugs because I like feeling small every once in a while! :D

I think rather than focusing on the fact that you can't say NO, is to remove all traces so you don't even have to say no. This is exactly what I did. I've lost 20kg (44lbs) so far and the only way I got there was removing temptation in every way possible. I didn't buy it, therefore I couldn't have it. It gets a lot easier…

My nutiritionist told me that I should be eating 1200-1400 calories per day (based on my size), so I put MFP calorie intake allowance on 1200 so even if I go over, if I'm under 1400, PAT ON THE BACK :) Surely you have a RANGE rather than a total limit? I think having a range helps me stay more motivated because I know I…

Using the recipe function on MFP for ONE: 1 Egg: 15, Mushroom: 4, Double Smoked Leg Ham (1 slice): 9, Brown Onion: 11, Baby Spinach: 10, Tasty Light Cheese: 72 = 121 I don't think the cheese is the correct count though, I only use about 1/2 a cup to make 6.

Honestly, if you love it and you don't go over your calorie intake for the day, why NOT have it? If you think you're drinking too much of it, reduce it to one cup.

LIFT HEAVY. GO GO GO :)

I would honestly start tracking what you eat. Sometimes what you THINK you eat and what you actually eat are not the same when it comes to total calories. Also, as the other replies say, you absolutely can't spot reduce! Agreed on the heavy lifting too, the leaner you are, the more fat you burn even when you're not…

Grab a muffin tray (I use a 6 muffin silicone tray), line the tray with one slice of ham per muffin so it makes a base. Then I mix 6 eggs, 1 cup of baby spinach, 4 chopped mushrooms, 1/2 a cup of grated cheese and chopped onion (you can add whatever vegetables you want though), into a bowl, and then divide it up into the 6…

I eat savoury breakfast cups that I bake in a muffin tray. I have never enjoyed breakfast so much in my life!

DAMMIT. Now I'm going to have to restart mine after seeing these awesome progress shots -.-
