Definitely fine to be over... Protein helps in maintaining/repairing/building muscle which promotes weight loss by burning more fat. I read somewhere that it is ok to eat a gram of protein for every pound you are... sorry, can't remember where it is from. Alot of people who try to build muscle (aka body builders) even…

Hi! My advice would be to eat! It is definitely okay to eat more protein... alot of people here will tell you that protein is actually good in terms of diet as it promotes building muscles which actually helps you to lose more fat in the long run.

Hi, i used a prescription which contained phen a few years ago and it was great in helping me to lose weight. I think it was something like 6 kilos in 1 month... unfortunately, it didn't last. I put that weight back and more! Then in 2008, I decided to try to change the way I ate and exercised. Well, that worked really…

First sessions done tonight... made it 1.35km (I think it translates to 0.8m) in 15 minutes... :)

I've changed my start date to tomorrow... I ended up swimming tonight instead... needed the relaxation! Will keep posting:)

Bump for later :)

Hi, I'm all for joining this too... and Saturday seems like a good day! I'm doing Walk to Run from nikeplus... almost the same as C25K, is this okay?

Try the training programs on the nike+ website. They have an assortment from couch to 5k, improving 5k times, marathons, etc... good luck!

Hi, I usually walk to work and back 5 times a week which is half an hour each way so I pretty much log that as my exercise. Then if I'm feeling up to it, I do some extra cardio/weights or swimming in the gym/pool downstairs (we have one in the complex) or do a fitness dvd. I'll usually do those about 2-3 times a week on…

I'm definitely in! Sounds great!

Great post! Thanks! This is one of my big 'problem areas' when it comes to eating...

Hi, it all depends on how tall you are and how heavy you are also. I've heard that it's best not to shock your body with such low food quantity or else it will go into 'starvation mode' and your weight loss will stall. I too go a few hundred under as well but I jolt my metabolism again by having 'cheat' days. I guess…

You should definitely not try to lose weight while pregnant. Your doctor said not to gain too much weight... not to lose weight altogether... ur baby will need the sustenance from what you are eating to grow and be healthy. As long as you don't eat junk food and eat nutrient-rich food (don't forget prenatal vitamins), you…

This site is fantastic. I think once you see how much you are putting into your body, you can never go back to that state... Anyways, welcome to MFP, I hope this site is everything you wish for and more and I'm sure we'd all love to hear your stories about life in Japan! By the way, I totally get where you're coming from…

Look at those cheekbones! You look great!

Hi Kendall! Are you enjoying yourself with MFP yet? I'm from Australia as well, but from Sydney. Feel free to add me as a friend. Cheers!

Hi guys, new to this challenge as well :) I'm a mum to three daughters (5, and 1 1/2 yr old twins) and work full time. I used to train for short course triathlons right until I found out I was expecting the twins and since then, the weight has ballooned! So here are my goals for the week: 1. Walk to Run - week one 2. Drink…

Hi, just saw your post and it looks awesome! Have you checked out this site? I used to look through it as I tried a few short course triathlons previously... http://www.coolrunning.com.au/calendar/nsw.php?TargetCal=NSW&Months=12 Have you ever thought about doing triathlons? They're very good for all-round fitness :)

Actually would you mind posting the schedule up for me? It doesn't seem to want to load on my computer...

Thanks for posting this... I'm going to give it a go starting from tomorrow...

Hi! I just sent you a friend request... hopefully we can help each other reach our goals! :)

Hi! Welcome to MFP! I feel just like you in that I want to be able to do a triathlon. I did short course ones a few years back and had twins in between so fitness has taken a back seat. Now they're a little older, I want to be able to balance my priorities! I need to be able to run after them soon! I just sent you a friend…

Hi Jourdan! You sound like you have the perfect mindset to do this... and working in a gym must be such a bonus! Sent you a friend request also... good luck!

Dear hubby, I understand that sometimes you need to go to the toilet at night and that sometimes you're still really sleepy, really I do... but you have really bad aim! Please check the toilet seat for residue, I am sick to death of having to wipe it off first thing in the morning when it's my turn... or, when I haven't…

I put my 6ft tree up in the living room this evening with my 5 year old! I'm dreading waking up tomorrow though because my 1 yr old twins haven't seen it yet and I'm sure they're going to pull it apart! Lol...

Welcome to the site! I'm a newbie as well! Good luck with the weight loss... :)

Thanks for all the welcome guys! Add me as a friend if you like :)
