1. Wearing a swimming suit and not worry about how my fat is rolling about 2. To wear clothes that come in single digit sizes.

I'm in!

I like food. No, sorry, LOVE food. Food wasn't an energy source for me but something I just enjoyed. I could eat alone, in a group, with a partner etc. I reached my tipping point when I was trying on a dress at a store I usually buy clothes from. I would usually fit in a 16 but I struggled zipping up the dress and I…

I'm almost at 50 too! Not really all that wonderful with the kind of food I'm eating but I'm trying :) It would be awesome to reach 365 and I reckon it's an achievable goal :D

Hi guys! When will we be putting in our weekly weigh ins?

Feel free to add me :) I'm 222 lbs(aprox), 5'4ish. My goal for the end of the year is to lose about 45 lbs and then to lose another 45lbs by mid next year :)

Thanks for all the advice guys! I'll keep at my fruit intake and if it hinders my weight loss, I'll cut down.

It's winter over here so lots of kiwis (which I love!), mandarins and pears for now.

Like I said in my OP, I haven't been very good with my food intake prior to the last 3 days and I'm well aware that I was eating too much over the weekend. The last few days though, I have been eating more fruit. For instance today, I would have consumed 45g of sugar from fruits when my target that has been put in by MFP…

Nope, no medical reason although diabetes has run rampant on my father's side of the family which is why this concerns me a bit - not enough to completely omit fruits though!

Well I spent the weeks before being a bit careful with what I was eating but not very strict because the last time I tried going cold turkey on everything, I ended up binging my way to a 6 kg gain. So I concentrated on making sure I was working out 5-6 days a week for a month and a bit and decided it's time to ramp up on…

I'm not sure where the target came from. I'm assuming it MPF as I don't recall setting a limit so that's a bit weird.

So things like carrots and cucumbers? I could do that instead of having as many fruits as I currently do.

I'm pretty bad Fri-Sun and it's something I need to work on. I say one cheat day and then it turns into three. It's hard especially since my husband can inhale food and not gain anything. I've decided that this week, that cheat-weekend stops. I'll have maybe one cheat meal on either days but that's it. It's too easy to go…

After I lose my first ten kgs, I'm going for a full body massage. Not sure about the rest yet :p

I'm in! SW : 100.3 kg / 220.6lbs GW : 90 kg / 198lbs I would love to see One-derland again! Feel free to add me :)

I'm going to repeat 30DS for the next two weeks and was thinking of doing her other DVDs. This has sold me *checks Amazon*

I've only lost 1.5kg but I can feel muscles coming in on my arms I'm motivated to lose a lot more I could do Levels 1 & 2 of the 30DS and not feel like I'm going to die (therefore not having to follow Anita) I'm struggling with Level 3 but I feel stronger I've lost almost 2 inches around my waist I can zip up my skirts all…

Yeah I've been thinking of it too but not sure if I want to fork out that much money :/

I haven't lost much - only 1 kg in the first month but my priority was on disciplining myself with working out. So I managed to wake up at 5:30 am from Monday to Friday for 4 weeks to work out. I'm proud of myself for being able to do that much. Now, I'm focusing on my food intake :)

I love having a bit of salmon and low fat cream cheese over Cruskits. Or I'd throw together some baby spinach, a bit of onions, some feta (marinated in rosemary and olive oil), some cucumbers, tomatoes and a small can of tuna. Alternatively, I'd cook enough for 6 people the night before (three of us in the house) and use…

I want to look at myself in the mirror and be proud of how I look. I want to go in a shop and not worry about how stupid I'll look searching for something that fits me. I want to quit having to be so aware of how big I am, of how large my stomach is, of how much my arms jiggle and how much more heavier I am than my…

I am/was really out of shape. The last time I went to the gym (before starting the 30DS) was probably in January this year and I had put on about 5 kgs since then so I had no energy nor strength. The first few days were a challange but it gets easier. Then you go onto the next level and again, a bit of a challenge but it…

Beat me to it!

Actually, I've seen liquid egg whites at woolies. They have them in the frozen fruit section. At least the woolies near me does.

That is pretty awesome.

I did Day 20 - Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred and almost broke my ankle :p

I actually just had a look at that! Brilliant stuff. Thanks :)

I really packed on the kgs because I'd have two lunches at work. I usually packed myself a healthier meal - usually a wrap or a salad but then I'd go down to the cafe and get a pasta. And I was eating a creamy carbonara pasta or a pesto pasta 2-3 times a week for lunch. Oh, I'd also occsionaly get a danish pastry or a…

No worries :) I haven't been doing it every day either as I've only recently started getting back into the groove of things so I do it 5 days a week and then gym on the weekend if I have time. Planning to replace the gym with a yoga class as I used to love that too. I might actually start rotating them as you have once I'm…
