Once in awhile, sure. Once in awhile being maybe once every couple of weeks on a night I can't be bothered to cook and I have at least 600 cals left at the end of the day. I don't crave it anymore but if we want something quick and easy, it's good to know there's an option there. Also I get the burger ONLY. No chips or…

My husband (who is on a bulk) bought two tubs of salted caramel and cookies & cream ice cream a couple of days ago. After dinner last night while he was away on his firefighter's training course, I ate said ice creams(s) from the tub(s). Had tea spoon and maybe ate 5 spoons from each tub and DIDN'T TRACK THEM CALORIES! I…

Moderation in food and plenty of exercise.

Once I stopped eating rice for a month - which was REALLY hard for an Asian. I started eating it again and then I had the worst time on the toilet that night and the next morning. Everything else I ate was what I was "normally" eating. I doubt plain white rice is what a lot of people consider to be processed food. My point…

OP, maybe wait a few more weeks before determining if you've stalled?

I LOVE green tea, jasmine tea, chamomile tea, morrocon mint tea.. lots of tea really! I don't think it helps you to lose weight but I have a cup tea during my mid morning and mid afternoon break and it "fills" me up. Like a big warm hug in my stomach. Also it counts towards your 2 litres of water mmkay? It doesn't…

The internet and a lot of trial and error from my own "dieting" mistakes.

If I slip up at breakfast, I keep to what I planned to eat for lunch and dinner. Just because you have one slip up, does not mean you have failed the entire day. The more you punish yourself for feeling that way, the more you are going to binge. It's a vicious circle and it will not stop until you understand that it's okay…

Get one and share it with my husband if it fits our macros/calories cos you know I ain't gonna JUST have a doughnut.

Melbournian here! Looking to lose another 30kgs :)

I use Ultimate Nutrition's Iso Sensation 93. These guys are having a promo right now : http://www.suppsrus.com.au/protein/365-ultimate-nutrition-iso-sensation-93-whey-protein-powder.html I'm pretty happy with it and LOVE the cookies and cream flavour. I add milk to it sometimes and have it in place of breakfast if I…

Feel free to add me :smiley: I've got about 30kg more to lose after dropping over 10 so always happy to support and be supported :)

It takes awhile for things to stick sometimes but the most important thing is to keep trying and to treat every day as it comes! Welcome back and good luck :)
-
I'd usually just include a big bowl of veggies for myself and a small portion of whatever I've made for my husband so that way I get fuller and less tempted to go for seconds. Also skinnytaste.com has some really good healthy recipes that my husband now loves and it gives me good ideas on how to replace the kind of food we…

I do sprints on the treadmill and then once a week outside. I think once I get faster, I'll be doing my sprints outside too.

I'd be curious to know too. Not that easy to lose the weight with PCOS unfortunately. My legs and arms are slimming down but I still have a massive belly. For the record I do cardio 3 times a week (Jogging, BodyCombat and Spin class). I do strength training twice a week with a PT (Deadlifts, squats, shoulder presses etc)…

I was a size 18/20, now a 16. My goal for this year is to get to a 10. Next year I'd like to get to a size 8 :) I'd be estatic if I get there this year though!
-
Just go. I used to be really self-conscious when I went to the gym. I used to hardly really workout because I thought everyone was judging me and that I looked out of place amongst all the fit bodies. Especially when my PT was yelling at me to go harder. And then one day, I realised I was being silly. I was there to get…

Currently a snug 16 (AUS).. I'm aiming for a 10 by June and who knows? Maybe a 8 by the end of the year :)

"Should you really be drinking that protein shake? It's going to make you big and bulky!" "Why are you lifting? You're going to have ginomous muscles and you'll look like a guy!" "You have an omelette for brekkie? You should only have muesli/cereal/bread or your body's metabolism won't kick off" There is so much more that…

Start slow and build yourself up. Do you have access to gym classes? Like Zumba, Body Step, Spin or even a circuit class? Those last between 45-60 mins and go by really quick! They're lots of fun as well. If you don't then maybe do 10 mins on the elliptical, 10 mins on the stationary bike and 10 mins on the treadmill. Have…

1. To lose another 25kgs 2. To reach my fitness goals (have got them listed on my profile page) 3. To pass my Level 1 CFA Exam 4. To get promoted 5. To adopt a puppy!

Mine is to : 1. Try to speed up my weight loss a bit because I have been taking it pretty easy (too many excuses - in laws have been staying with us for almost 3 months and I don't want to hurt their feelings by not eating the food they cook for us). 2. Eating within my calorie range 3. Pass my CFA Level 1 exams 4. Get a…

28 here looking to lose quite a bit. Happy for anyone to add me:) I log every day (93 day streak woohoo!)

I make sure I drink enough water and focus on other parts of my body if one is too sore. For instance, if I did a massive amount of cardio and lower body work yesterday, I'd be working my upper body and core today. Similarly, going for a walk also helps as it is active recovery. Lots of stretching is good as well :)…

Everyone has given you very good advice. Just take it easy, set up small goals, start logging your food and you'll find areas to work on. Feel free to add me if you need more friends to spur you along!
