I know how you feel! I always over eat when I am with my bf. my tips to combat this is to do your own portion size, and remember you don't have to eat when he eats. For example, when my bf and I go out to eat and I'm not hungry, I just order a drink such as a trim coffee etc while he eats.

I just had a quick look to see what my most played song in my gym playlist is and it is... Titanium by David Guetta and Sia

I know but growing up, pate has always been considered bad and hummus will be more better because it is less 'fattening'. It is earth shattering for me to discover it isn'r completely true. Also Dan, I just had a quick look at your diary. Why do you eat breakfast so late? Do you wake up late or do you just not eat for the…

Being able to run at 15 on the treadmill. I was running at 8.5 at the beginning of the year :)

I am liking these ideas. I eat when I am bored lately. I used to be very strict about what I ate and since I am nearing my goal weight, I feel I can relax but I am falling back into bad habits. I have set my calorie allowance to 1200 for the next week to make up for my 2 days of 2500cal days (my normal cal intake is 1600)…

Yeah, I was more conscious of what I was eating today. Cutting down on my banana and cookies. I think it was I would eat heaps of banana because I thought it was healthy so I could eat heaps. Lesson learnt! AND yeah, I tried snacking on ham instead of cookies for a protein swap. I just need to find something sweet and low…

Thanks guy! That is such a good idea to snack on protein foods rather than reaching for crackers etc when i want something savory! Lesson learnt!

going to try this!

On days where I am significantly under, I'll have some almonds or a banana. Yum.

Thank you for uploading this! I actually do not know how, I tried 3 times and still couldn't upload.

I do find there is some truth to the diet though. I have IBS and I think being O blood type has something to do with it. I was put on the low fodmap diet and my symptoms have improved. I looked into the O blood type diet and the food allowed and not allowed are very similar, almost identical.

What I did was make it with ground turkey rather than ground beef. Add in heaps of beans to add in protein and fiber. Use greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Reduce fat cheese. And we have these crackers where I am from which is made from 4 grains and is gluten free. That's what I ate today :)

"Remember those exercises you always hated at the gym? Do those."

I'm in! Photo in the morning though

Definitely, I have a new found respect for obese people who are at the gym or exercising. This may sound a bit harsh but I have no sympathy for obese people who carry on with unhealthy lifestyles, especially when they complain about how they hate their lives because they are fat etc. The obese people at the gym had decided…

yes, I am experiencing the same problem! But I have decided to stop using weight loss as an indicator for weight loss... If that makes any sense? I now go by body measurement. I have been stuck at the same weight for about a month but I am shrinking in measurement and clothing size. So I am guessing my body is becoming…

Thanks! Saving for later on :)

Squats! I went from flat *kitten* to bubble butt!

If you are on a low FODMAP diet then this irritates the stomach. If you don't experience any problems then I don't see anything wrong with it

Going to try this!

Wow, everything sounds so good! And pancakes aren't that bad for you. Infact, the ones I have are 137cals per serving!

I do lying side leg raises and squats with 1 dumbell (spread your legs a bit more wider than normal squats and point the toes at 11 and 1). I did those aswell as lunges, squats, calve raises and my thighs no longer touch :)

Yes! They are amazing! I used to be a museli and yogurt kind of girl but now I am converted! My favourite flavor is strawberry and rhubarb. If you put greek yogurt in too it makes it taste devine!

yay!

I live in NZ too! What brand is the bread? Since I am a student, I don't have the money to experiment trying bread brands.

I am still in the phase of complete elimination of FODMAPs in my diet. So it's been fun. Got 3 more weeks before I can star introducing other foods. However, I have university starting up again so I would be eating packed lunches. It was easy just making something for lunch and eating it straight away, eg soups, lettuce…

I got Lebanon. Lower BMI than 77% of females in NZ aged 15-29 and a higher BMI than 55% of the world. Pretty good to see I'm on the smaller side out of my country lol

Oh! Makes sense now :D And well done on your achievement!

Hello, I am new, I have been browsing this forum to figure out what NSV means. Can someone please tell me?
