If you're looking for cardio then cross trainer/elliptical would probably work as there's no impact in the lower limbs. Same with the bike - if you can access an assault bike then even better as this works arms as well, making it a full body workout. And last but not least, the tower is great - you can do all sorts of…

Checking in because I am supposed to be grading assessments so I'm finding every possible thing to do other than that! Seriously though - I didn't make it to the gym yesterday but I did manage to stay close to my calorie goal (only 23 calls over!). I've also realised lately that I'm not drinking enough water or eating…

One of the few Aussies here. Am in Sydney.

Hi Tiffany, I'm also losing weight - I have a fair way to go but and determined! I'm in Sydney, Australia. Send me a friend request if you like to add me. I'm here to offer support, encouragement and help any way I can. Have a great day

Hi all, I've had a big weekend! Pizza on friday night (but I had done a decent bike ride to offset it) Last night I went to see my brother and sister in law playing with a mariachi band and the meals were huge! (again, had done a decent amount of training but I think I still went over) And today we had the left over pizza…

It was an awesome trip, we visited 22 different countries and lived in Cambodia for 4 months. We also got to meet up with some extended family in Sweden and also Scotland as well as visiting friends in England, Nederlands and US. Having said that though, there is still so much we didn't get to see. I think the more you get…

I had a great streak on MFP and lost around 25kg (55ish pounds) but then I went travelling for over a year and some weight crept back on. I've been back home now for almost 10 months but I have only just hit my stride with regards to MFP and tracking and losing weight etc. And ti's not for a lock of trying. I'm not sure…

Hi Everyone! I'm in Sydney, Australia. I've enjoyed reading some of your updates and it is making feel motivated to get out there! It's friday today and I work until midday with a break at around 10. Normally I have my breakfast before I leave for work then have a cappuccino when I get there and take a few small snacks…

i'm in Australia and coming up to 10 years with my partner. We said years ago that we would get married as soon as it was legal or when we got to 10 years. When we said that we never ever imagined that it would still be illegal by the time we got to our 10th anniversary yet here we are, 2 weeks away and it is still not…

peel and cut into large chunks and roast it along with 1 or 2 large carrots. cook off an onion (diced) and crushed garlic cloves in a saucepan. add the roasted pumpkin (squash) and carrots and 6-8 cups vegetable stock. add a few bay leaves. bring to the boil. blitz with a stick blender (or a regular blender). season with…

Subway is my go to as well if I'm out and about and need to grab something quick but obviously too much of anything can be a bad thing and there are items on the subway menu that would easily add a load of unnecessary calories and fat (i'm thinking 12" meatball sub with cheese) but if you make careful, considered choices…

So today, with 8 weeks to go until christmas I have weighed in at 104.7 which puts me 1.3 kilos closer to my christmas goal. How is everyone else going?

feel free to add me too! I'm also in need of motivating friends. I'm in Sydney, Australia and have recently restarted MFP again after over a year of traveling around the world. :-)

I seem to recall reading somewhere or hearing that a kilo of fat is roughly equivalent to 7000 calories. So in order to lose 1 kilo a week you need to have a 7000 calorie deficit a week. There are different ways you can do this. Once would be to calculate your base metabolic rate (BMR) and then restrict your calorie intake…

I'm another advocate for spin classes! I do agree with alpine1994 that it depends on the instructor. My regular instructor was on holidays a few weeks ago and I found the fill in instructor unmotivating and difficult to follow. My calorie burn suffered as a result (it was about half what I would normally do!) So try a few…

well, I did a stack of exercise last week, did something every day, most days did well over 1000 cals. I increased my calorie intake a little but did not eat back any where near all of my calories (a few days my net was either very low, or even negative!). I just weighed in and have lost 1.9kilos!! (4lb 2.9oz) I am very…

does anyone have any contributions?

Howdy all! Well I had my erg trials this week and I am please to say that I weighed in almost 11 1/2 kg lighter than last time!! I didn't quite hit my 105 clothed but wasn't far off. I've also become stronger in the time since I did the last trial and it shows as I had a much better result this time around :-) It's onwards…

so I just weighed in. SW 106.8kg (235lb) CW 105kg (231lb) GW 97kg (215lb)

i often cook a little extra meat/chicken when I am making dinner so I can use it for my lunch the next day. boiled egg and salad also a wrap with roast beef, fetta, baked sweet potato, sprouts and a few olive is one of my favourites.

sure! I'm currently 106.8kg (approx 235lb) and goal for christmas is 97kg (215lb)

just weighed in and have lost another 1.2kilos - so have hit the initial goal that I set for myself!!

Hi there, I have had a quick look and the thing that I noticed is that there is huge gaps in your diary over the weekends. You seem to track ok during the week but then forget about it after lunch on friday You need to track every single thing you eat or drink. That is the only way you can get a true picture of your…

maybe when you are at your boyfriends place and planning to have a meal there, ask if you can have some veggies without the butter, just a spray of olive oil. Or even offer to prepare a meal and make a nice healthy and tasty dish. With things like the sandwich your mum got for you - don't stress over it, there is nothing…

Hi there, Firslty, don't be so down on yourself. You have to be your number 1 fan and supporter. It's not the end of the world if you have a binge - remember, 1 bad meal or binge isn't going to make you fat, just like 1 good meal won't make you skinny. If you have a blow out, leave it there, start over again, today is a…
