  • you look great
  • BMI 29.99 So close to obese. and my face is disappearing into my neck.
  • Well - my experience - the other way. When I talk to men - just to chat, they feel obliged to mention their Wife/Girlfriend. Honestly most of the time I am not even thinking that way I'm just a chatty , friendly sort of person. So I think just don't flirt with them back, few guys will take it further if you obviously…
  • Yes I lose weight faster when I don't exercise also, however I try to focus on my health rather than my weight these days and the exercise makes me healthier in mind and body. Also even though I want to eat more when I exercise I am more motivated to eat right when I have a fitness goal - if I eat this then the run in 3…
  • OKay so I have the same problem. Firstly make sure your bra fits. go to a good lingerie shop and get them to fit you. Your bust size - i'd recommend Freya and Fantasie if you need new bras. If you do need new bras, buy one from the shop and then go online to buy others ( make sure you buy ones that you were fitted at the…
  • I have an idea. It takes about a month to change a habit. So rather than think about the next year or two of discipline to lose all the weight that you want. Why not focus on a month of behaving totally. Just a month, after the month you'll have adjusted your habbits and you might have more control over the struggling…
  • Yep all of the above. - I enjoy my Stretching class once or twice a week because running makes me tight and tightness causes injuries. also are you getting enough protein - i found when I increased my protein the muscles recovered faster.
  • Yeah gave up potatoes and rice and pasta for dinner almost a year ago. Can't have too much 'sandwich meats' because of the preservatives, but I do tinned tuna for lunch and if I have left over meat from night previous might have that also. I think I'm going to give up and just resort to protein shake.
  • yeah all the greek yogurts I have are (g Protein)=(g of Carb). which is better than other yogurts but still not helping my ratio. Hmm smoked fish for breakfast - hope I don't get gout. but I think I could do that. Had fish for dinner and that was pretty good.
  • Yeah i thought greek yoghurt would be good but has heaps of carbs. I do have lots of Nuts already and make a great chopped nuts & eggwhite 'bites' Don't you feel guilty about wasting the yolk of the egg?
  • Yes I understand that protein = calories I just have been advised by doctors that I need to increase my Protein to Carb ratio.
  • You aren't having 800 calories a day you are having 600 calories a day and you are burning all that back. You aren't using the same recipes you are eating almost 100% fruit. But it does look like you have started becoming a bit more responsible with your food over the past few days, so I want to encourage you to keep…
  • Why don't you just try doing the hill outside slowly?
  • You can tell somebody who has an eating disorder but is either in denial or is indulging in it. They are happy about eating less than 120 calories and exercising back all their food. They come up with excuses for why they only had 400 calories. It's really easy. And it's heart breaking when they say - 'thank you for your…
  • Oh these suggestions look YUM! Oatmeal is great, I cook up a packed at a time and keep it in the fridge for my family to 'snack on' incase they are hungry. My dad likes it with cooked with sultanas. It's mean to be good for your cholesterol. We make it on Water. I like to add in LSA (linseed (flaxseed) sunflower seed and…

  • So how do we help people we find here who obviously have an eating disorder?
  • Wow - I don't have this problem at all, I only get about 1/3 of the salt that is suggested. How? Fresh fruit and veges, don't have a salt shaker, don't drink pop- actually I use spices with salt in them for my meat every so often because I need to add salt to my diet. When I do get the salt that is suggested I put on…
  • Yes go see a doctor and insist they refer you to a dietician also.
  • You have special dietary needs - go see a dietician and do exactly what they suggest.
  • I've got to tackle it this week - looking forward to it being over.
  • But you have lost 40lb, that is heaps.
  • OH doesn't look too bad - impressive frozen protein shake
  • Is it not acceptable to go to your local public pool?
  • If you don't learn to control your ice cream craves you won't be able to maintain once you lost the weight. I'd be careful - What else does it have in it? Is that healthy?
  • Have you checked what sort of protein shakes you can get from Health Food Store or Drug Store. I find they generally have better quality, nutrient rich options.
  • Cashew nuts Dandelion Root Tea
  • Swimming is considered the best exercise for Asthma suffers - the moist air around the surface of the water is meant to be easier to breath, and the controlling of breathing in and out is also good. Make sure your breath out ( blow bubbles under water ) you'll get more tired if you don't breath out enough. Swimming is a…
  • Custard / Custard Tarts.
  • I was going to say - anything with Wasabi is yum.

  • Good Luck, Quitting Soda is hard... suggest you have some sparkling water and lemon or lime slices around. Don't resort to fruit juice. Exercise will make you feel more empowered even on days that you fail on food, if you got the exercise in then you will feel better physically and mentally. two key things are PATIENCE and…
