Knowing how long I'd have to sweat for, to burn off every calorie of crap food I consume. Being acountable to my diet dude who sees everything I eat on here is also worth it's weight in fat!!!

Nuts, seeds, salad with yummy extras like fish, chicken, turkey, duck, pate, cheese, beans and lentils. Tomato and feta salad, I have a bean salad recipe if you want it. I do curries of all sorts served with cauli rice instead of rice to avoid the carbs. An oatmeal is high carb so she would be best avoiding that anyway.…

I'll send you a friend request. I'm incredibly motivated and am half way to my goal

Oh and "let me help you with that little girl"....I may be 5 foot 2 but I was a Firefighter for 6 frickin' years and bloody strong!

"You know Mum does it this way......." "You look better in the dark" and yes that was a direct quote from my hubby Whacks ar$e "Ride the waves of aftershocks!"

I know this sounds weird but clench your buttocks....it really helped me. I can now do 7. Started on 3. Not amazing but waaaay better than I was

Great attitude!!! You know what went wrong and you're taking ownership. Nice one. That takes a lot of courage. I'm sure having your hubby along for the ride is motivating.

Friend me if you like, I have another 15kg or so to lose before my sister's wedding in January!

Hi, I am in no position to give advice but can tell you what I've been told to do which is squats. Feet shoulder width apart keep your heels on the floor and get your behind as close to the floor as possible and then up again. I started with 10 a day every day and increased by 10 every week. So week one I did 10 a day,…

Mate, I really feel for you. Many of my friends and family (including my husband, mother in law and brother) suffer from depression. They all dealt with it in different ways. The way I've seen the best results is from medication. I'm not saying you should take meds but to consider a discussion with your Doctor about what…

Friend me Baby!

Just one point I wanted you to consider - If you breastfeed you will be using lots of energy to produce food for your baby. Not to mention all the other health benifits to you and Baby, it really helps lose that baby weight!!!

I get it so bad I bleed under my boobs.... I use strapping tape. The smooth water/sweat resistant one I think it's by 3M. Drastic I know. Will read the rest of this thread with great interest!

I was a plus size bride and yep, it was awful. My new husband didn't even call me beautiful on our wedding day. I adore him and he has stuck through thick (and now getting thinner) with me. There are dresses out there that will fit you and at your height you will look amazing. Gorgeous face by the way! There are two tracks…

Totally feel your pain! Am wearing jeans that have that problem RIGHT NOW!!! No it's not the type of jeans, all of mine do it. I know it's just what hourglass figures hold their voluptuousness!!!!! Argh! Even worse is the horrid rubbing/chaffing I get when I wear skirts on my delicate thighs.:blushing: PS (to combat this I…

Take a good pic of yourself that you are happy with at your weight NOW and look at it when the negativity sets in. Sounds like you are only remembering the old body and not really seeing the one you have just recreated. You look great, so a picture of that might remend you of that. Good luck

I say if it's on display then you may appreciate that with a glance. But don't talk to them, they don't talk back. Oh and while driving please don't swerve....:laugh:

YES! I started only in the last couple of months at the ripe age of 35 and I love it. You don't need to be fit although it will be easier if you have a wee bit of fitness (walk up a couple of flights of stairs). When I started I was like a new born calf trying to walk for the first time but I kept practising and it gets…

Congratulations! It's so much easier to keep up with your healthy lifestyle when you start to see results.

:wink: Thank you so much for posting. I've only just started on my mission after piling on the padding just like you did with babies... Thanks for the inspiration:wink:

Oh yeah that's my height (or lack of!!!) Feel free to add me
