People who say "I'm not being racist but....." Yes you are you bigot so shut your mouth because you KNOW I'm going to react.

Cauli rice instead of rice, I cut carrots on the diagonal to make oval "crackers", I use sour cream mixed with minced chilli instead of mayo (works great in tuna salad), shave strips of zucchini instead of pasta...

ICE!!! Just had same wicked issues. Ice the sore muscles for 20 mins at a time and repeat until you feel better. Sorry takes a few days but it will go away

You have done so well. It's up to you if you want to continue to lose or just maintain. You don't have to make that decision now, ride out the negative and DON'T SLIDE BACK!!! You have worked to get where you are and should be proud of it.

For weight loss go for long runs. My weight really dropped when I could run for over an hour. Slow but loooooong. Good luck

I got really hormonal and as a result I had hormonal migraines. By losing belly fat I've stopped all my hormonal symptoms including the mood swings, bouts of crying and wanting to set people on fire, and most life changing, I no longer get migraines. This is because you store hormones in excess body fat and so when it…

No expert but in my life....I lost 24kg with diet and running. My legs are much much better than before but I've always been muscular. I was running up to 21km and never needed protein shakes or electrolyte drinks. I don't do protein shakes. I do natural protein (meat, dairy, beans, legumes). Water and bananas were my pre…

Do some strength training - more muscle burns more calories. Squats, push ups and try running. Burns far more calories than walking. I've just started to vary my runs when it comes to speed, I do high stepping, longer strides, short sprints, wicked hills.... Burpees, skipping, planks, cycling, swimming, soccer....can you…

Hiya, What exactly are you looking for? More info would be great :)

Beautiful hypnotic eyes!

I started running doing 4-5km runs 3-4 times a week. Hated it. Had a wonderful trainer take an interest in me and he just suggested I increase my running time at a lower intensity. Within 6 weeks I could run for 1hr 50mins straight by just slowing down and running further each time. That was only in October. I can now…

I wanted to llok good for my sisters wedding since I looked fat and ugly at mine. Even my hubby didn't tell me I looked good at my wedding. 12 years after being grumpy and sad about it was enough! Slimmer me is here to stay!

Babe I was in the same boat but it took me 11 long years before I did something about it. This site is wonderful and you can very quickly surround yourself with motivated and supportive people who will celebrate EVERY step towards your goal. Have sent you a friend request :)

My hubby calls me his "human climbing wall" because I now have bones that show through my skin where before I had so much fat padding you couldn't find a single one! I love it :)

Tell her to add me. I do around 100gms of carbs a day of fruit and verges and not only have lost body fat but I also no longer have migraines, mood swings, I'm less irritable, my mental health is excellent and I'm a darn sight more energetic. (I run half marathons once a week no sweat). I guess you could say I've turned…

Hiya, South Waikato here. Keepup the good walk!

Well a pound a day was not normal for me! I only measure/weigh once a week and find my weight is far more fluctuating than my measurements. Because of this I find my measurements are a far more reliable way to track my progress. In particular my thigh and bicep measurement because lets fac it I can't suck it in! Good luck…

When you're at school with your kids and your friend saks really loudly "Holy crap you've lost weight are you on P???" (methanphetamines, crystal meth)

Add me :)

Yep I'm another one, feel free to add me

I do and have lost 20kg. Best way to lose the weight for me is high fibre, high protein, lots of veges.

Oh you poor thing. At 43 pounds lost you really should have gone down a size. I really feel for you. Same type of thing happened to me last week. All my skirts/shorts falling off my waist down to my hips so I thought I'd check out the next size down. Umm fail. I'll just keep working on it! Good luck

Also training for a half marathon and if I hydrate before I run I can go for at least 2 hours with no need to drink. In that 2 hours I run just over 11 miles. Just a thought.

Have you considered the possible muscle gain? Sorry if that isn't helpful I'm not an expert. Also have been told that the work you do this week will show up in the next two to three weeks. Good Luck

I like to do a real mixture. That way if it's raining I can do the cross trainer or if it's beautiful I can enjoy the great outdoors. It means no excuses....you know except for the whole "I'm just outta time" thing.

After reading your post one thing stood out to me which was your comment on not eating your daughters lunch snacks. After getting in better shape and losing 15kgs now one thing I've really noticed is that my whole family eats healthy except for some of the snacks. I kept asking myself did I want my kids snacking on the…

Saw my Hubby coming home on the motorbike so I flashed him......it was our worker. They are VERY similar. Still mortifying

I'm 5'2, 150 pounds (68kg) and wear a New Zealand/Australian/UK size 11 which is a Levi's 29. Sorry that's the best I can do! Hourglass figure (thanks mum!). These are firm and not loose.
