I used to be super strict and then relaxed about it a bit.. and I've noticed that even when I focus a lot during the week, it all slips over the weekend and results in no net loss! I agree that a treat every now and then is fine, I usually have a treat Friday night but I guess i've just been letting that turn into the…

Just had my day 10 weigh in and measurements - down 4 pounds, and around an inch off my waist and hips. Pretty impressive for 10 days for me! I'm hoping to lose around 13-14 pounds in total, and 4 inches off my waist and 5 off my hips. So it seems pretty on track for these results over a 90 day period! I'm really hoping to…

I've started TapOut recently too, on Week 2 Day 3 (day 10 total). Anyone have results to share? I really enjoy the workouts but am super keen to see results! Already seeing some - I weigh myself regularly but waited to today to check for measurements. Looking forward to checking measurements again on Day 30 and seeing more…

Hey thanks -- I meant to say I can be very disciplined and motivated when I want to be, just often when I get bogged down in study I slip up! Last year when I lost the 10kg doing home workouts it was obviously heaps of diet control, same with the boot camp earlier in the year :) in terms of university and time available…

Oh wow, thank you! Come on guys, we can do this! Health minded people =)

Used accurate body composition scales and measurements. I didn't intentionally eat in deficit, it just worked out that way with the foods I was eating sometimes. And the challenge involves intensive body strength training i.e. push-ups, squats, squat jumps, lunges, lunge jumps and other pliometric work. So for someone…

Thanks heaps everyone :) I'm so happy and feeling awesome!!! My diary is public I think, but I probably ate on average 1100 Calories a day. I had quite a few days under 1000, and a few days over 1400, but otherwise I'd say on average 1100 per day. I tried to eat <80g Carbs per day and as much protein as I could. I didn't…

How much water are you drinking a day? A lot of the time when people think they are hungry they are actually just thirsty! I eat SO much less when I'm drinking more water (the first time I tried to lose weight I was drinking up to a max of 2L per day, now I drink 4L every day). Another thing that helped me is having my…

Thanks so much guys :) Yeah - I'm feeling stronger and my clothes are fitting better so I'll do my measurements tomorrow and just be happy with feeling better :) Thanks!

Omg! Look amazing!

Woolworths have a cheap unsweetened applesauce :) I had the same problem recently ha.

Congratulations :) What a great story! This morning, I stepped on the scales and the first number was one I have not seen in I don't know how long (kilos, not pounds)! It's such an amazing feeling hey :) Thank you so much for sharing :)

Great job :) i know exactly how you felt - I'm a bit scared of joining a gym because I don't want to look bad next to all the "fitness models" as you say. Hopefully I'll overcome this at some stage too :) Very inspiring! Nice to hear someone else who was in the same boat :)

I'm in! Sounds like a great idea. I have the program but haven't done it yet :) Woo!

Gluten is not an issue until it enters the intestines - doesn't affect the stomach itself. Perhaps talk to your doctor as well about starting a new diet? Glad you're having success though!

I'm in! My goal weight is 0.5kg less than my current weight, but i'd REALLY like to be 2.5kg lighter. So 3kg sounds perfect! CW: 60.5kg GW: 57.5kg Exciting :) Great idea!

My mum made these delicious savoury muffins the other day -- Ingredients: - 100g carrot (grated or finely chopped) - 110g capsicum (finely chopped) - 60g mushroom - 60g spring onions - 100g light cheese (i used coon light'n'tasty but can find lower calorie/lower fat cheese) - 100g short cut rindless bacon - 320g gluten…

looks yummy!!!

Ah my mum is not good with this! I live at home still (I'm 21) and when I'm asking how she cooked dinner she will say she didn't use oil even when she did, or tell me she used less of certain things. When I am logging and trying to estimate how much things weigh she will suggest measurements that are probably half of what…

www.wiggle.co.uk is good for cheaper high quality shoes / work out clothes :)

I do for breakfast and lunch, but not for dinner as I live with my parents! I generally have the same thing for lunch every day of the week, and I like to know in advance what I'll be having and how many calories. I've made up a batch of turkey burgers a few times, and the same with tuna/corn patties that will last me a…

Definitely. I want to be a comfortable AU size 8. I've hardly bought clothes in the past year and a half so not sure what size I was before, but in pants probably around a size 12? Based on my measurements I'd be about a size 10 now (6.2kg down) but still too scared to go into a shop and try clothes on. I think I'll wait…

Your husband sounds great :) I motivate myself because I want to feel better about myself and feel better in clothes. BUT. A few days ago, my boyfriend sent me this lovely message telling me how proud he is of me of watching my diet and exercise and for trying a healthier lifestyle approach and that I'm going so well at…

That looks amazing!

I agree with trying to go to bed a bit earlier and get up earlier. However the best approach is to do it gradually - for example half an hour earlier for 3 days, then another half hour earlier for 3 days, etc. And slowly you can move your sleeping pattern back to regular hours. You could also use the extra time in the…

I'm 21 and have about the same to lose, plus maybe 1 or 2 more :) I'm on Day 31 and i'm 12 pounds down and feeling good! The support I've gotten on MFP and the fitness/diet/recipe ideas have been exactly what I needed to make a total lifestyle change! Good luck :)

I have a similar query! Sorry for hijacking thread :P I'm aiming to lose weight/tone up/lose size but I also want to get back into running and get fitter. I've been doing 4 days a week of "light" (my boyfriend says they're light, but it's hard for me!) dumbbell weight training (2 days on, day off, 2 days on, weekend off)…

Starting weight: 147.7lbs. 1st week weight (July 23): 143.5 (4.2lb lost) 2nd week weight (July 30): 141.3 (6.4lb lost) 3rd week weight (August 6): 139.6 (8.1lb lost) 4th week weight (August 13): 5th week weight (August 20): 6th week weight (August 27):

I'll join if I'm welcome to! I'm 5'3". I lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks in July, then gained 2 pounds in the 4th week. I want to lose another 6 pounds minimum in August! jam0525: sorry to hear about your July. Condolences to you :(

I have pretty much unintentionally done so! I used to be pretty well addicted to Pepsi Max (2 - 4 per day) and then, without even thinking about it, when I joined MFP I was so set on having my minimum 8 glasses of water per day that I didn't really "waste" fluid on soda. Maybe it's also because it's colder now that I don't…
