Thanks for the suggestions guys! It probably rarely gets truly too cold to go running outside, but it certainly makes motivation a bit harder :( And yeah, I've probably got just enough space in my room to do some strength training type exercises, the ankle weights are a great idea! Re losing motivation for the last few…

Hi all, Mind if I jump on board here? I'm in the last 10-15 pounds range, going to re-assess at 10 pounds lighter and see if I want to keep going or call it there...Struggling a bit as the first few pounds came off pretty quick, but the last few are hanging on for dear life!! So something I thought you guys could help…

Hey I am keen. I think we're pretty similar in size too! Last time I measured I was: waist 32.5" hips 35.5" butt 38" thighs L: 24.5" Will measure on Sunday and update - and measure arms and calves too. Where do you measure on your arms?

yeah there was another thread a few days ago (you might've seen it) with a handful of kiwis so there's a few of us round... I've been a bit slack lately but yeah I find this site pretty easy to use, and it's sweet that you can add your own foods so it's not really an issue if the NZ brands aren't there.. I have switched to…

Hey count me in, looks like we've got close to the same amount to go too!

yeah there is - if you go to Goals - Change Goals - and choose custom, you can adjust the ratio of carbs/fat/protein (and a bunch of other variables as well)

Hey I'm a kiwi too! More of us than I thought there'd be on here! I find it hard to find NZ brands of things...if that's what you mean? I usually either just pick an American brand that has a measurement that's not '1 piece' or '1 serving' and that sounds about right...either that or you can add your own foods in, I've…

I try to log everything the first time I use it, since I am constantly STUNNED at how many calories (or sugar, or sodium, etc) are in different things I would have previously considered healthy or at least okay foods. If I log it and a typical portion size for me is under, say, 10 calories, I often don't log it later on…

Hi all, Hope you don't mind if I join in! I've only recently been looking at the carb/fat/protein ratio so not too sure how this is gonna go! I know carbs are a definite weakness (I'm ALWAYS over on them) but not sure about fat.. March 2, 2010 Stephanie - 2 days below 25% Heidi - 2 days below 25% Kim - 1 day below 25% Jill…

Hi all, I'm jumping on board too if it's not too late. Have realized recently that I really need the accountability of daily/regularly telling other people how I'm going! Stephanie - 2 Heather - 1 Jill - 2 Callie - 1 Catherine - 1 romst19 - 2 Stacey - 1 Heidi - 2 Nolachick - 1 (also day 1 of 30 day shred! ) Nancy - 1…

I know the feeling of not going down a size very quickly! Don't get too disheartened though, did you just try on the one dress? If so maybe it was just a dress that tends to the smaller side...I have gone down a size in some shops, in some clothes but even in the same shop with the same brand I fit different sizes in…

I'd like to report I'm heading off to bed having successfully resisted cookies even though I had the calories left after dinner if I'd wanted one! I think most of it was the accountability ie If I'd had a cookie it would have been lame coming back here to report a failure. And also yeah, just distracting myself for long…

Sometimes it's the most random things that make you realise that what you're doing is actually having an effect... I have almost got my wedding ring resized over the past 3-4 months because it was so tight on my finger, I could only get it on and off with the help of moisturizer, and even then it wasn't that easy! Today…

Yay! I was really worried about this week cos I've been out of town for work (for training) so no cooking facilities where I was staying, 'morning tea' provided (cookies, chips, etc) and going out for dinners with other people I've only just met so didn't want to make a big deal out of watching what I ate... Tried to pick…

And I love the look of that Michi's ladder thing, kaitlin, that's the kind of thing I need permanently attached to me so I can consult at any time!

Hey all, Keen to join you for the dreaded last 10 or so! I gained about 15kgs due to a combination of getting married and getting my first full-time desk job, meaning I sat around all day, could afford to buy lunch and have indulgent dinners, and didn't have to worry about scaring off my partner with weight gain! Bad combo…

1.4 kg loss! Yay! Now that I'm starting to see some actual results I'm finding it *slightly* easier to resist temptation ie 'will that second piece of cake REALLY be worth gaining back all that hard fought loss'? First piece of cake still hard to resist though :s

Grr :frown: 1/2 a kg gain! (Though hadn't weighed myself for a few weeks so that wasn't necessarily from this week, I hope, cos I was pretty well behaved all week1!). Trying to concentrate on the things I did well though.
