It's a constant challenge. I still have many bad days, but I just pick myself up and presevere :flowerforyou:

herbs! Lots and lots of herbs :) Great fresh herbs for your salads :)

I take calcium supplements, it helps.

Welcome to MFP :flowerforyou:

Totally agree. Body just doesnt feel right the days I don't workout. And when I do, it's all relaxed and loose :)

Breastfeeding is a natural way for a new mummy to loose weight. Just start eating healthier foods, and include daily walks. As you regain the momentum, start more aggresive workout regimes :)

you male colleagues think there's a fashion contest going on as I look hotter these days, and when the female colleagues begin to feel envious and threatened! :happy:

sick :angry: :grumble: :explode:

Happy birthday Tam! You look awesome, and an inspiration to all here on MPF. Have a good one :drinker:

any cheese cake - baked, frozen etc. No wonder I had to join MFP :laugh:

I take skim milk and soymilk powder with some low fat granola. The days when I am pressed for time, a protein shake does the trick!

It was the 1st season. They are opening for auditions for Season 2 now :)

Me too!! I am pear shaped, most of the fat around the lower belly, hips, thighs and bum bum!! Now that I have lost some weight, it seems that my upper body is more toned and slim, compared to the lower body. Maybe I am paranoid, but I feel my bum looks bigger now, coz I am smaller on the top! Frustration :grumble:…

Do loads of glute lifts with exercise ball, lunges and squats. I am doing these extra just to target the bum :)

i agree! I consume the formula 1 and 3. Love the cappucino flavor. I sometimes have this for breakfast, either adding them to skim milk, fruit juice or blend it with a banana or peanut butter, or with 1/2 cup muesli :)

A simple medical checkup got me into this seriously! My BP is high, my percentage of body fat is 60+ .... the doc scared me, she said I most probably have a fatty liver, etc. I needed that kick in the butt, now I am so serious about this, and really want to get healthy ...

I had experienced that when I first started doing lunges and squats. I may have over done it, and I was sore for almost a whole week. Just listen to our body. If you are in pain, then just rest or do light exercises. Put running on hold for a while, and just do walks or brisk walks .... i guess the body takes time to get…

I get my dose of calcium from milk. I also take calcium supplements, need the extra boost as I am working out 5 times a week now.

I like working out with an exercise ball - core strength training - really seeing the defined muscles!

Where/how do you measure the waist and hips? I am bottom heavy, it has lumps here and there, and it's tough to measure the same spot everytime! :grumble: Any tips??

My staple used to be rice, and now I have substituted it with whole wheat or whole grain breads. I also love the Jacob's high cal low salt crackers, which I sometimes eat with unsweetened peanut butter or with tuna. As long as your meet your required carb intake for the day, I don't see this as a problem for me. I don't…

Weightloss the healthy way would mean eating the right food in the right amounts, and exercise to build muscles and cut fat. No such thing as a short cut. You gotta work hard to lose weight :)

Drink lots of water - natural detox :)

vege mayonnaise, low fat high cal cheddar cheese, peri peri hot sauce, tuna, whole wheat breads, dark choccies .... yummmmmmm!

Hi :) Maintaining 1200 cal is the bare minimum a body can take - just enough to fuel it. If you go lower than that, it is insufficient for the body to function normal, and as such, will enentually tell the body to lower its metabolism to save whatever energy it has. Hence, you body goes into starvation and survival mode.…

You are an inspiration. Everytime I feel Iike giving up, I always think about success stories like yourself in MFP, and it keeps me motivated and to stay positive. Awesome! :flowerforyou:

I have some skin sagging esp. on my bum ... I try to do more strength training as it will help to tone up.

Ladies, please count me in! I could always do with the extra support here in MFP. I have been a member since Sept 2009, and have lost 37lbs to date. I will need to loose another 100lbs. Looking forward to our interactions :)

Thanks! I really needed that boost of confidence and motivation! Kudos on your success :)
