I don't anymore, because they either contain wheat (which apparantly is best to avoid for quick weight-loss), or they are VERY high in sugar. I stick to plain rolled oats with almond milk and I occasionally put some Agave on top, if I feel like something sweet.

Oh, hell.. did I just find someone on MFP, that loves FERGBURGER with a God-given passion, like I do? I fly to Queenstown, from Christchurch, at LEAST twice a year, to wrap my face around one of those suckers! Chief Wiggum is heaven, in a bun. I'm actually gonna add you right now, because we really share the same issue,…

I'm 5'2 and I want to get back down to 106-110lbs. :D

Liquorice. It's revolting.

Wow, can't believe I forgot to mention.. hot chips from the Fish and Chip shop. Oh my God, I could eat 2 scoops by myself and want more. :P

43-46?

Anything with chocolate in it and cheesecake! But, today, I walked away from buying a bag of honey-roasted peanuts. God, I would've enjoyed those. BUT, I would've felt like **** after eating them. :)

So, I'm pretty sure I nailed a damn good juice recipe yesterday! SO GOOD! Half a beetroot, one apple, one carrot, a stalk of celery, half a cucumber and some ginger-root. Usually I'd throw in some baby Cos lettuce leaves, but I didn't have any in the fridge. But this juice was really, really good! Definitely my current…

I think it's great and it's really quick to make in a rice cooker!

I actually have QUITE a few. ;) 1- At *LEAST* 3-4 times at the gym, per week 2- No pasta.. EVER 3- No dairy, or at least a very limited amount 4- No wheat, or gluten, or at least a very limited amount 5- Not too much use of oil. Prefer to steam, or boil 6- Alcohol is extremely limited. Drink water, or green tea, when…

By the way, do you still get all the benefits of juicing if you mix TOO many ingredients together? :S

HAHAHAHA! Thanks for the heads up. lol I think tomorrow it's gonna be: beets, celery, cos lettuce, kiwifruit and maybe a bit of cucumber. Yep.

I heard VitaMix is really good! I'll be looking into getting one of these soon. :D

lol I always wondered about beets going in raw.. might try that in my juice tomorrow and see what happens. :O

AWESOME! That's what I wanna hear. lol Can't wait to see some serious results. Only problem I see, is buying fresh veges and fruit all the time is going to get stupidly expensive!

Oh my God, fully agree with you there.. it gets so messy and cleaning it takes ages!

Is the beet just put into the juicer, raw? Excuse the ignorance, but I've only literally started this today and have absolutely no idea. lol

Maybe get some blood tests done. Your hormones could be out of whack.

October 30th!

I AGREE! I've given up with the scales, COMPLETELY! I actually feel happier and much more free! It's like a burden, right off my shoulders! I know the scales are never accurate and having Hypothyroidism makes things even worse, so now I'm eating right, working out and focusing on the way I feel, not what the scales say. :)

A few things, really! 1- When the whole row of treadmills, or ellipticals, is completely free to use, but people will just come to the one directly next to me. Fair enough if all the rest are taken, but if they're not, give me some damn breathing space! 2- When people spray themselves with so much deodorant/perfume before…

My name's Ana. It's pronounced "Ah-nah", but spelled "Anna" on my birth certificate. I changed the spelling to "Ana", so that people would stop calling me "Anna", which I can't stand!

I actually thought of Jenna on that MTV show, 'Awkward'. :)

Hi Sue! Hypnotherapy worked wonders for me on more than one occasion. Feel free to add me if you need support! Ana

A few days ago, when I ate 4 mooncakes. :frown:

I think I have an intolerance to gluten and wheat, but I haven't been tested yet. I'm planning on having a thorough blood test as soon as I can afford it.. but from what I've noticed, after I eat gluten, or wheat, I feel really lethargic. So I've cut out gluten and wheat and just seeing how I go. So far, so good!

Yeah, I hear ya.. I don't buy them for ages.. then I start getting crazy cravings for them and buy them.. every time I tell myself that I can control my portions and I can stop at 25. never works.. ever! I made the mistake of getting almond butter the other day.. took a spoonful of it, just to see how it tastes.. ended up…

Oh my God, raw almonds are my absolute favourite healthy snack, EVER! But.. I don't buy them anymore, because I don't stop at the recommended daily intake. I tell myself I'll eat 25.. 25 turns to 100.. and then my stomach starts cramping and I feel like ****. lol

I'm doing 30-45mins of cardio, 4-5 times a week, with the occasional weights in between. I've read really good things about Armour.. not sure if we have it here in New Zealand?! I'm going to make an appointment to see my doctor next week and find out. There's a med called NatureThroid as well.. I think. Might ask about…

Waxing is sa-WEEET! Much better than shaving and lasts WAY longer! The only annoying thing is that it costs to maintain it, but I only get it done once every 5 weeks, so it's really not too bad. Honestly, the first time hurts like absolute hell, but the more you go, the better it gets. I don't go completely bare, because I…
