What kind of cereal are you having? I don't think you'd need both the cereal and the bar. It seems to me that there is lots of sugar hiding in this diet such at the dried apricots and white bread. You've got alot of carbs in here too, not that it's a bad thing but as it's high GI they are high cal and wont keep you full as…

I try and drink 2/3 of my water before or directly after lunch. I don't find it hard as I've always drunk lots of water but now I've upped my intake from 2 litres to 3-4 litres I'm The Tinkle Monster! I was going every 45 minutes last week. I agree with limiting. I'll only sip as I need it from dinner time onwards…

Cut the chicken into strips that are 2cms thick. It will cook quicker and it's easier to check if it's cooked all the way through just by poking with the end of a knife and twisting sideways. Should take 4-5 mins at most this way. You'll get better with time. I like to roll mine with some herbs in the middle, wrap in in…

omg Pho cures broken legs!!! I love this for anything. Or a really good spicy Tom Yum. But my fail safe is a single McDonalds hash brown and get on with my day. It helps smack that craving but isn't a huge meal. If it isn't breakfast time, a small fries. Then get into the veg and lean meat like you usually would. Berocca…

I feel sad for foods that get a bad rap when they shouldn't. Bread = Bad when lots of the 'Atkins' type diets came around. People became scared of carbs because we had so much processed rubbish on the shelves at the time (think 70s-80s) so instead of looking at carbs for what they all are worth people just cut them all…

I'm up to 15 cups of water already! lol. I'm huge on the WATER WATER WATER when you are sick so that may also be why I'm not hungry. Tummy full of water. I get bad sinus so I know the importance of fluid mucus and such. I've been pretty good with getting mostly fruit and veg as snacks to make sure I get everything I need…

Today marks exactly half way of NO CAKE AUGUST for me. I'm really proud of myself as cake is a KILLER! I'll even eat a torte at a 9am meeting for work at a cafe. I love cake, I could eat it every day. Any kind of cake. Even dry over cooked cake. But, I'm not worried about it anymore. I've also only had 1 diet soft drink…

Forgive me MFP for I will sin. I had never thought of doing it but all you americans and your crazy peanut butter fetish and eating by the spoon. I may try this. It may be gross and if so I'm not logging it.

I'd tell her I already have the app on my phone for that lol. But she's being very rude, sounds like someone who's a PITA all the time and would probably be a helicopter parent. Can't allow people to do things on their own. Or maybe she's trying to watch what you eat to emulate it. I hope it's not wanting you to fail. And…

Just to add that I think it's a great ownership moment when you can really 'own' the number. I know it takes a while for some people and you don't have to tell anyone. But knowing what it is and where you have to go from here is great!

I got comfortable with telling people my weight last year. When I started buying things for derby and doing group orders or asking people what size they wore... they were SHOCKED I was the size I was. I had to tell them I weighed 95-100kg. I also tell people that when buying skates as it plays a big part in what you buy.…

I've tried WW and it just felt too hard. But then again I only had the book at the time and there wasn't a website or phone app. I also didn't like paying for it. I was hungry and confused. I didn't understand how the points worked with the foods and what kind of nutrition I was getting. I like MFP because it does so much…

I have 1880 to eat each day and I struggle to the point of forcing myself and even then I only get to 1300-1500. Yesterday was the first day I made it and it was only because I had 2 chocolate biscuits (200 cals) and an egg on grainy bread after exercise. I can burn up to 1300 cals on a day of exercise and as long as I hit…

Oh thanks! It's bloody hard (not to brag) and some people pick it up faster than others. I am the others lol. It's a fab work out and a great way to release stress as you are gritting your teeth alot. Even when we aren't directly playing we have alot of fitness work to do on and off skates. Lots of strength and agility.…

So I told my mum over the phone. I said that when I get off my train I'll have to stop at woolworths to pick up some fruit and stuff. She asked why. I said 'well, you've just had the flu for a week and haven't been shopping. You don't have any groceries so I'm betting there isn't any fruit' 'Uh no' 'Besides, you know I…

She knows so it's ok. She saw me eating the salad when she woke up from a nap and then asked why I just had the chicken on my plate like I was weird. I said I'm trying my best to eat better, lower my salt and sugar and get better at derby. Showed her the app. She laughed and said she'll give me two weeks like the soup…

I pointed it out at first. I said oh that really looks like and S and a P in there 'Oh nah I think it looks just like the design' Tattoo artist pointed it out bluntly and asked... 'Oh what does the S and P stand for.. salt and pepper? Mate I can change it for you..' 'Nah it's good'

aw shucks :blushing: I get pretty stubborn when I'm on an idea. I've been told I'm 'like a dog at a bone' and it was a compliment. In my field of work it is lol. But I LOVE to plan ahead. I love knowing when I've done really well and I can afford to eat a Tim Tam (I had 2 today and they might have been the best ones I've…

I really do love her cooking. If it was 3-4 weeks ago I would have downed it completed with cheese and bbq sauce/mayo with no thoughts. Now I am conscious of what goes into my body so I can get the max out of it... it's hard. I also try and leave 700-800 cals for dinner as this is the meal I eat with my partner. I don't…

I was a size 22-24 when I got married. My marriage was a joke and I was big but even when I look at my photos now 20kg/44 lbs I still think I look beautiful because I remember how incredible I felt that day. I wore strapless and my bridal coordinator said that bigger brides were the prettier ones. I'm sure she said that…

I wish I could bring enough for everyone. We don't know what's for dinner until after my boyfriend gets here and not until after lunch time so it's hard to plan for everyone. Noone here would eat what I brought anyway, it would just be me and the boyfriend. Although the cat was very interested in my pumpkin and spinach…

Thankyou. I didn't want to be ungrateful. I'll just say my salad was left over from lunch and I didn't want to waste it. It's a pumpkin and spinach salad and I honestly am stuffed from all the water and cous cous I had for lunch lol. Because I am making much better choices my volume of food has singnificantly increased…

I have Moari relos and I really think that tribal should be left to those who deserve it. I think it's quite offensive. He didn't get it for art. He got it because I wanted one and wouldn't let me do it on my own. He wanted to look tough and cool. Not because he appreciated the art of it. The guy who did it for him, his…

I love turkey. So much. I am sad at the lack of turkey options we have here. Whenever there is turkey mince at coles I grab it. So yummeh.

omg yum

I know right! The white is the part I can't stand and having just that... blerrrrrrg such a waste of time too! I think it came about the time when eggs were this terrible fatty food full of evil cholesterol and hasn't gone away. I guess if you like it and need to spare the cals for something else that's fine but I'd rather…

Is it because you feel that people judge you because of your weight when they weigh less than you and you don't want to become that person? Or any of the other things associated negatively with being smaller? If you're a good person at heart, you can never change. If you aren't losing weight for a negative reason it wont…

I have yogurt or eggs with lean meat and a leafy veggie. I rarely ever have bread or cereal on it's own, I will always mix it with the above if I do. I find I get far too hungry before my first snack and I get headaches. I'll mix a carb in on a training day or a day I know it'll be a while till I get my lunch. Replacing or…

I have super wide hips. I can actually feel the bones through my tummy fat even when I'm standing up without pressing. My Dr said I'm the perfect candidate for a surrogate as the babies would grow healthy and large and not get stuck :laugh: When I dropped to about 75kg/165 pounds I had a thigh gap. My thighs where still…

Yep I woulda ditched him too. He's shown that he can't stand up for himself and the whole relationship would be you babying him emotionally and fighting his battles. If he didn't want the date he should have just said no. Too bad. And that friend, I'd start putting salt in her coffee at work. B*tch.
