Just me (?) - But I notice a lot that if I don't eat ENOUGH calories (my output often ending up at 5-600 calories burned a day) I don't lose weight. My body freaks out and I gain weight. This has happened to me a lot in the past and I have successfully last weight last year eating around 2100 cals a day, a 5km walk and…

Thanks guys :) The idea of eating back my lost calories still seems a little... pointless but I guess with the calorie deficit already added in to my daily total, then it makes more sense... slightly

Thanks everyone :) It's so nice to get encouragement!

bump...

well, this is embarassing...

I pretty much eat whatever I want, just within reason and stick to my calorie count. If it's things like chocolate/candy/pizza/fast food though I don't eat it every day, but if I do have some, then I don't try and get a salad (because those taste so foul from fast food places in NZ), i'll get a burger, and often omit the…

We were at a leadership camp (with about 100 other people), him and I met on the last night, the following night everyone met up for drinks, and he offered to pick me up. So he did, we got to the bar, I began drinking while he remained sober, and he was going to take me home but then his car got stolen. So he ended up…

I think it depends on you, your body type and your lifestyle - for example I know that my body cannot go without breakfast or I will gain weight, whereas my sister-in-law can happily go without breakfast; perhaps fasting suits some people better than others and who are we to judge? I couldn't force myself to eat ~600cals…

I'm the same as you, I don't go out of my way to eat my calories back, but if I'm hungry then I will eat knowing that my body needs it - or if I want to have a couple of beers or something then it's ok.

Let it allllllll out

Ahh ground beef! Thanks :)

I don't get how to use Pintrest - but on a side note - how cool is supernatural?!

These sound great! Celery and carrot in the meatballs?! I never would have thought about that!! If this passes the bf's approval for dinner then this might be a winner, but then again I'm the chef so it may not even matter what he wants :P

yummmmmmmmm, must bookmark and try this one night

People who fart! Or wear too much deodorant! When I'm doing cardio and struggling to breathe already, I don't need those smells choking me!

I don't like bacon either :) Never have, too... fatty and gristly? I dunno, but I love ham

Definitely in! 5'11" SW: 92kg (202lb) GW: 82kg (180lb) This is gonna be difficult, but I can damn well do it!!!

Hey - who said you can't still feel full?! You can still eat until your hearts content, just eat the right foods, and over time you will be able to eat less because the high fibre (in some of them) will start to trick you. Change a banana for a cup of broccoli - less carbs, less fat - just put some salt on it and it is…

Honestly, first hand experience when I have been the ashamedly drunk ex, she will be messy. If she was feeling it, and you weren't - don't go. There will be tears and misery and you will be left kicking yourself for going, and [maybe] hurting for the pain you've made her feel, which will become all to evident when the…

It's bad on your joints if you are overweight, because you are straining your knees with each jolt - obviously this is not as bad on treadmills as it is on asphalt, but still something to keep in mind if you are not in a 'healthy' weight range.

You. I want to be your friend. I have a house trained rabbit too, they are such cheeky smart *kitten*!

What are these views and hobbies? I love baking, cooking and knitting and I'm basically a housewife, without the marriage or children (though I have enough pets to class as having a massive family)

Alriiiiightey then! I'm a university student studying Biology and English, and at the moment I've got one more semester of study to go then I'm finished - YAY, then my plan is to work for a couple of years, try to travel and then likely end up at vet school. I'm in Auckland, New Zealand! I'm 22 - so yes, I'm gonna be an…

Welcome! You'll do great! Just get some friends and start counting your calories and exercise and they'll melt off!

Try a flavoured green tea? I always have green tea that has strawberry infused in it, sooo good!

Agreed! I always get so disgruntled by the girls who wear tonnes of makeup, and don't break a sweat by the time they're leaving the gym, and I'm in my rag clothes, sweating like a horse!

Thanks guys :)

Today is my day 7/lvl 1 - Can't wait to finish and post pictures! I'm thinking of doing Ripped in 30 days afterwards - would that be a good progression? My hope is that *eventually* I can do insanity -.-'

Oh dear - don't tempt me! My bf would not be pleased with the results! Haha
