  • I love my lululemon 'ENLIGHT" bra. it's not underwire but made out of some high tech fabric - was a bit pricey - but I bought this and a new berlei one at the same time about a year ago. There is nothing wrong with the berlei one but I RARELY put it on because- if I have the choice I ALWAYS choose the lululemon one because…
  • Hey, Im in Australia. I find having friends on here really helps keeping me engaged and logging in daily! Feel free to add me too :)
  • This morning when I woke up my weight showed me to be 2KG up from 73.4 to 75.6 since last week ( I have been logging and exercising)... 2 hours later - after a bath and going to the bathroom - I weighed myself again (because i was still a bit shocked by the sudden gain - I weighed 73.6 kg. My point is - water weight is a…
  • Boobs, face and arms. Have noticed my belly feels softer too - I assume it is because it is shrinking!
  • I heard a suggestion to just - restart your day every three hours and lose the all or nothing thinking. In the sense that - if you over eat, binge, cancel your exercise class, or blow it generally. Recognise it happened and kind of just reboot your day and try to make healthy choices for the rest of your day. That helped…
  • I think this has to do with the impossible standards that we set for ourselves to reach some idea of perfection. We are bombarded by images and I think its easy to lose sight of what is important. Congratulations on your work to get this far. I try to remember that the aim is to have better health, to be stronger and…
  • My first round: Round 49 to others.

  • Hey, I have been using the 8fit app. I just got the free version but if you like it you can get a subscription as well. They have short 8 minute programs designed to do daily. I have just started using it and like it so far! Sometimes I do two of the workouts back to back because 8 minutes doesn't seem like enough! But I…
  • I sometimes do hommus without the tahini - and with some light yogurt instead (less fat- and still delicious). - A can of chickpeas - drained and rinsed (can also do the same with butter beans - its more runny but delicious as well) -2 tbs of olive oil -Juice of 1 lemon (or to taste) -1 tbs of light greek yogurt (more if…
  • Anyone who needs to use the words '****ing retarded' that many times in a blog about diet - doesn't earn my respect. Hated it.
  • Hey there, Im vego and always looking for alternative non-soy protein sources as well. I think Quinoa is great. I also make lots of dhals (or lentil and vege soups) using red lentils or mung beans ( a bit easier to digest), Chia seeds are also supposed to be amazing, and I have some cottage cheese and/or yogurt everyday.…
  • wow - you look awesome. I just made my first 10 pounds. This inspires me to try to shift a final 10. Well done!
  • For me, it is about getting rid of the things that I can't control my portions of - eg. Pizza (I will eat it all if it is there) and Twisties (evil little balls of crunchy deliciousness). To the guy advocating more meat over eating 'dangerous' soy based on your 'research'. Seriously, what a joke. Sure, too much of anything…
  • Totally amazing and inspiring! Well done. :)
  • Its so stupid that there is so much variation between brands sizing - even for things like bras. I have had trouble in the past trying to find good sports bras - and now I swear by Berlie. Their sports bras are awesome! Check them out if you are still looking. :)
