Hmm, not too sure if you want to go down that road. I have some women friends who smoke, and they have a fear of stopping coz they can gain weight ... so nicotine via inhale or absorption ... you want to risk it??

I wished I could lose the fat faster around my abs and butt area, and not my boobies. I went from 40Ds to 38Cs now ... and I have a lot more weight to loose ....

Hey Nadiah, Thanks for the friend request. Are you Malaysian? Not many of us here on MFP, but it's a fantastic tool to share with our friends and family ...

Scarlett Johannsen, Kim Kardashian, Katherine Hiegl ... all beautiful bodies with some curves :)

Hi Xai! I am from Malaysia. I have been a member on MFP since Sept 2009. I have some wonderful supportive friends here. There are also many weightloss success stories in here who will constantly give advise and motivate you. Good luck! P/S: Hope you are following The Biggest Loser Asia? It was this programme which got me…

Definitely brown rice is a better option since it's unpolished and less starchy. Here there are some groceries selling multi-grains - black/brown rice, lentils, sunflower seeds, etc, which one can buy and mix them up together. I usually have this once a week with curries. Since it's so rich with multigrains and high in…

An interesting thing happened at lunch today. My colleagues wanted to grab a fast lunch, hence they all headed to McD! I wanted something quick as well ... so, while they all headed to the right, I consciously took the left and headed to Subway ... got me a 6" turkey sandwich with veges and mustard for 281 cals only ... I…

how about an exercise ball? The one I bought came with core strength training CV which will add variety to workouts :)

It's a very feminine name :)

I would love to join this group! I have about 100 lbs to lose. :flowerforyou:

It could very well be an individual thing as well .. When i first started on the treadmill, I used to walk at 3mph and then up to 4-5 doing fast walk. Now I can walk really fast at 5mph, but when I up the speed to 5.5, I do a slow jog. Once I build my endurance, I would go higher than this. So I look at it as a phase. You…

Some of the good foods I consume are oatmeal and yellow raisins for breakfast, or you can try Quaker's Multigrain cereal, it's not bad. I also drink skimmed milk for the calcium especially now that I have up'ed my workouts. I eat tuna at least 3-4 times a week, together with variety of salads. If you need to eat bread, try…

Try fruit smoothies - banana, oranges, etc. It should help!

I log in both, gains and losses ... weekly weigh ins to keep me on track. It also let me see it black and white to make necessary changes/to step it up if I had gained.

Hi Tia! Welcome to our family :flowerforyou: One of the first things I did was set a goal for myself. Use the customised options available to set it up. Then, start logging in the the food diary. The key to this is to be totally honest with yourself. Make gradual changes to your diet and start working out. I started in…

Hi there, You are not alone. Not many people do notice weightloss, and even if they do, they are not very forthcoming on commenting or complimenting. So don't worry too much about it. I celebrate little successes with my loved ones - taking photos, buying a new top, etc. Just one item for every mini goal. One of the things…

Thank you so much for the post. Really learnt a thing or two about cardio workouts :flowerforyou:

The way I see it, you have 2 options: 1. Take a small bite, and have the satisfaction you had a taste of it, then burn it off in your next workout, or ... 2. Stay away, and just say no, especially if you have reached the max calorie for the day :)

I can't wait for my 199.9 too, so I know exactly how thrilled and excited you are :) Congrats :flowerforyou:

I do lots of squats and lunges to target the hips & thighs. For the bums, do gluteal lifts. For tummy, it's crunches all the way :flowerforyou:

Wow, thank you for posting this. An eye opener :)

Fabulous :flowerforyou:

Unflavored milk. I can't stand it. :grumble: I always have to mix it with something to down it. Been that way since childhood

Awesome, please count me in. I am adding a new challenge to my workout, so I am expecting some results in 6 weeks *hopefully* :flowerforyou:

I'll pray for a successful pregnancy :) Not to worry, just stay healthy, eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. Let us know the good news ok?

I know what you mean ... the other day, I was at my family doctor's clinic as I was ill, I havent' been there for 6 months, and so when the nurses saw me, they were shocked to see my transformation. They went on interviewing me on "what's the secret"?? I told them it's genuine hard work. But what ticked me off was that,…

Hi there, I was an obese when I started here on MFP. I have lost 40 lbs, and my BMI has dropped from the 40s to the 30s now. I am still obese, but the number is dropping :flowerforyou: I know how you feel, but it's not the end of the world. You have taken the 1st step by just being here on MFP. Use the tool to guide you,…

Yea, curious. Sounds scary :noway:

The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." uses every letter of the alphabet! :noway:

No piece of square dry paper can be folded more than 7 times in half! :huh:
