Well that's encouraging...

OMG - what's the point in eating an egg without the yolk, it's the very bestest part!! I regularly eat a two egg omelette with ham, tomato and low-fat cheese. So filling that I'll eat it for a late'ish brekky, and I'm pretty much full until dinner. Yummmmmmmmmo!!

Hahah - I don't need it to be a lot. It's enough mixed in with my salad, plus I also have a yoghurt to follow. Trust me - I make up for it at dinner time. :wink:

Ummmm no. I mean 30 - 35 grams of chicken. Is there some problem with that?

I just have chicken and salad for lunch, with a fat free dressing. Easy to make up at the beginning of the week, pack them into air tight containers (the dressing separate of course). The chicken - chop up a roasted one at the beginning of the week, and freeze into whatever portion size you prefer (I tend to stick with…

Foodwise I was okay generally, nothing over the top, and normal sized portions. Wine wise - pffft - of course I went over. Only had a fairly average sized serving of Christmas pudding, custard and ice-cream (NONE of it low fat either). My absolute downfall though were the Scorched Almond Chocolates I scoffed on Christmas…

My fifteen and a half year old Golden Retriever passed away in May. I have a 6 year old Alaskan Malamute as well. I too, like another poster - can't imagine my life without a Goldie in it, and one day perhaps I'll be brave enough to make that move. In the meantime, because the Mally is such a *****, she'll probably be an…

Awesome! You look fabulous!

Welcome Katie - Brissy here, nice to 'meet' you! Loads of Aussies around - and they're all great supporters!

Mum to 3 (youngest is now 14), and 48 years old, in Australia. Have to say, in my head, I'm still 25! Feel free to add me if you like.

Wow! I do tend to weigh most foods, but have also used cups/tablespoons etc. I have always run a blunt knife across the top to get an 'even' amount. But, I guess even that isn't good enough sometimes. Thank you for posting that youtube vid, very enlightening!

I loooooooove cheesecake.

Brissy here!

Ohhh I hear ya!! I try to behave now, only drinking wine on the weekends (note the word TRY, I do often fail). Often though, my weekend drinking includes Friday through to Sunday nights lol. Sighhh - I can give up everything, but NOT my wine!

Hot chocolate (Jarrah - beautiful and lo-cal) works for me in the winter, and vanilla ice-cream with chocolate topping in summer (nothing lo-cal about either of those, that's the yummy part). I always make sure I leave enough cals for them though!

How timely lol. I don't have any, and never will, but by 20 year old son has just got one. He's always wanted one, and planned ans saved. He's getting the full sleeve on his left arm. He wanted to incorporate either my maiden name (as that is what I now go by) and our family somehow. He'd initially planned a scorpion as…

Ohhhh Sweetie - you are going to have the best revenge when one day, he sees you walking down the street looking extremely super-hot and fit. The fact that you're already gorgeous obviously escapes him - you deserve so much more. I wish you great success!

It's Nigel no mates here in Oz lol - though I've never really worked out why..

I've been cooking for myself and my three children. No separate meals - too damn hard. You either have a significantly smaller portion - which you would anyway, or you do minor adjustments. For example, when the kids were having steak with eggs and chips, I'd have a small steak with an egg and salad, or steamed vegies. At…

Love it!

Bump to try - certainly an interesting combination!

Bumping to have a good look through later - I LOVE this kind of stuff! Thank you xx

Sounds interesting, but I've never heard of most of those ingredients. The only ones I recognise are the milk and cheese lol

Haha love it! I sure as hell don't want washboard abs (way too much hard work to keep them, let alone GET them),I just want to feel comfy in my own skin. I could stop where I am now, and be reasonably content. But I know for a fact another 5 kilos or so will take me back to the shape/weight I was always most comfortable…

Hi Jullessi, I'm not Scottish (Aussie), but I'm almost 48 (good god where has that time gone). Feel free to friend me, I have some great MFPer's on here, and without them it'd be bloody hard work!

You look FANTASTIC! Well done!

Haha.. loved it all!

I'll be interested to see the replies too, there are days that I struggle to reach enough calories as well, even though I've eaten 3 decent meals. I've taken to eating some full fat ice-cream to try and get the cals up.. but some days that's still not enough!

What a fabulous post! Well done!
