Bump

Haha 'bellygoaway' love it. You have a good attitude, and those are some pretty awesome NSV's. You can definitely finish that race! :) go for it!

That if I ate barely anything during the day and nothing remotely fatty/sugary/'bad' and did some tough excersize that I'd "done really well today!" No you silly girl. Go and do some research, you've grown up with big misconceptions about good health!!

Bump for later :)

Well, it's all about finding what works for you isn't it? Sounds like you know what you need. Set a date for yourself to weigh in (either weekly, monthly etc..) or as the lady above posted, find a good group with similar and realistic goals. Find some new friends on mfp with similar goals and add them; they'll keep you…

Lol yea is it weird this thread makes me want ice cream more? Rat poison and anti freeze...seriously. Maybe there's an ingredient in those two products that is also in icecream? But straight antifreeze and rat poison in a dangerous quantities..right, because people at baskin robbins are always languishing in…

What the?? I wouldn't know how to react to that...find out who it is and give them a swift buttkick perhaps!

Some of them I like, some are pretty bland/yuck. I wouldn't have them as a solid part of my diet myself, as the cals are pretty high (considering I could cook something heartier, fresher and better tasting myself for the same or less cals) and as some have mentioned; the sodium! But they're handy to keep in the freezer for…

Agreed! Hahaha. 'JUST SHUT UP AND TELL ME I'M PRETTY!!' :sad: :explode: :grumble:

It can be tricky. Easier when you have supportive friends who know what you're doing! I always just make sure I have small portions if I think something may be high calorie, talk heaps so you're eating slower and therefore finish eating around the same time as your friends (if it's a dinner, that way you can avoid having…

Yea :( it sucks! I want to be my old size/smaller and put on a dress and actually SMILE at myself in the mirror. Feels like its been a long time since Ive done that.

Bump :)

Wow I was JUST thinking about pancakes this morning! But scowling at the idea of the sugar/fat content. Will have to try this, thanks for sharing :)

Bump :)

If she's going to be gradually increasing over the months, that's great, but not what she's said. She's only said she's doing 1000 cals; I was offering advice on what she's said she's doing, not what you're doing!

When I hit my goal or near to it, I want to go indoor rock climbing. I did it once back in school on a camp, but I was very unfit then and only made it maybe 1/3 of the way up. But I think it'd be a really fun thing to do, and I don't expect to make it to the top first-go, I just want to go climbing. :) I have a friend…

1000 cals is so low! You should really find that post "in place of a roadmap" and read it, if you want to do things right this time, do yourself a favor and take a look! 1200 is already too low for most women on here; your body is going to freak out. :\ I wish you the best of luck, but please do some research on your TDEE…

This is a great site if you want to do a bit of research on the best way to workout, all free articles too btw; http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/exercise-frequency/ I agree with what everyone else is saying; doing 30DS every day is a bit intense, and a quick way to burn out. I have break days here and there where I may go…

Make sure you eat something healthy and filling before you go; empty hungry stomach can make it harder to stop, and party treats never seem to fill you up! If I know I'm going to eat something bad while I'm out I try to budget for it before I go, say 'ok I can spend 200 cals on treats' or something. But the actual…

This is really encouraging, as I've felt lately the scales won't budge; yet weirdly I woke up this morning and felt smaller! I'm just going to keep going and nevermind the temperamental scale. Well done you've lost heaps!! :tongue: My NSV for today was going into a shop I buy clothes at regularly, and I'm usually a large;…

^^ saw this coming. And I agree! All in moderation.

Try not to feel too guilty about it. Guilt can quickly become disappointment, and that can lead to feeling defeated; which in turn can lead to 'what's the point, I screwed up so badly, I can't do this might as well have another soda/chip/pie etc.' Just say 'oh well, I'll do better tomorrow. I'll cook up a bunch of veges…

I was just shopping with my mother yesterday and saw this tiny pair of size 6 jeans shorts; said to her 'I'd have to break my hips to get into those.' lol! Don't care though, I'll settle for a size 10/12. Curves are awesome. :) My ex used to say he preferred 'skinny petite women' (ouch) and when I was dieting I told him I…

Haha this is great. I'm going at my own pace so probably won't join in, but this is just a fantastic idea. Love it. :love:

Smart! I'm going to be doing the same thing; I needed some new clothes lately but have been scouring the sales racks as I don't intend on being this weight for too long. It's hard; I know in the past when I've dropped a dress size the excitement is so great I just wanted to rush out and buy everything in my new size! But…

I didn't use slim fast specifically, but the Kate Morgan shakes diet. And wow I had a really bad experience! I was completely dedicated and stuck to it for a solid two months; it was super restrictive. Even certain vegetables were off-limits because they were too fattening/high in sugar; which I think is silly now. All in…

Have you tried switching to a yoghurt with the fruit (so you get that bit of sweetness and smooth texture) or even those diet chocolate mousse tubs they have in the yoghurt section instead of pudding? Might help you feel like you're getting your dessert but having something that's lower calorie and less sugar. If it allows…

Agreed! When I read what he said to you I just thought a long line of expletives I won't post here lol. Where do people get off thinking they have the right to judge you on appearance alone? If you think something like that keep it to yourself. How many doctors have I seen who smoke, drink, have potbellies; doesn't mean…

Yep, definitely helps to remember the long term benefits!

Fantastic :) its worth to stop and take notice of the little victories as you go!
