Record everything. Track your calories going in and out - get a heart rate monitor to really track your calories burnt. It's 70% diet so decide your goals go all in. Don't listen to the fad diets, everything is important. Carbs, fat - all very important in weight loss. It's a marathon NOT a sprint. Good luck! Go hard! Eat…

I used to (sometimes still) do a lot of emotional and binge eating. So I understand where you're coming from. I was watching one of those extreme makeover weightloss shows and saw that this is now a recognised and treatable addiction. Food addiction is apparently on par with drug addiction. Who knew? I guess the thing is,…

Look into eating and tracking tracking potassium too. Have a quick google of high potassium foods, tomato is my go to. Basically it acts as a diuretic and flushes the sodium from your body naturally. And drink water. Just do it.

Hey! I'm a vegetarian, very active and have just lost 20kgs (with more on the way). Feel free to add me!

Bump!

Thanks Everyone for the adds - keep them coming! Hi Aurora feel free to shoot any questions through. I must say NC looks amazing from what I have seen! I grew up with Dawsons Creek and One Tree Hill so you can call me a fan of the area!

Hey! Feel free to add me - I'm crazy dedicated. Just going on a friend hunt myself! I'm down 35lbs in 3 months so far - almost at goal number 1.

Hey Angie, I'm Emily from Hobart. Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for friends on here!

Feel free to add me. Anyone! Im a little light on in the friend area here ;)

I love my FT7! I can't compare it to anything else though. Having the ability to track your calories in and out gives me control and knowledge. I couldn't recommend a HR monitor more after the past couple of months and my weight loss thus far. I you want one, get one - don't listen to the naysayers!

Hey there - couldn't recommend a HR monitor more! Definitely worth the investment. In regards to weight training I do high intensity weights meaning I maintain a high heart rate while throwing in some spin bike, cross trainer or rowing to keep HR high and exhaust muscles each set. I go from exercise to exercise quickly,…

Love it! I'm in too!! My personal trainer has been on at me about my push ups lately. At the moment I can do about 23 boy push ups without stopping but would love to be able to do 100 :)

I have put on weight since getting my first Implanon too, though this may be due to other factors... I used to be a baker right around that time and was getting over a badly broken leg so I couldn't exercise! I have had it for 5 years now. Started on my weight loss journey 5 weeks ago and not having any problems losing…

Hey there, I just got one with a strap and it's amazing. If you want to track calories only consider one with a strap. You'll need to hold your fingers over a strapless one to get a HR read so I don't see the point. You'll be surprised at how inaccurate the hand monitors are at the gym of the cardio equipment after getting…

Hi there, I've only just started (so I'm no expert!) but I've found Nature's Way Natural Protein Powder great. It comes in vanilla, chocolate or no flavor at all. It's cheap ($20 but cheaper at Chemist's Warehouse), available at the supermarket and delicious. It is higher in protein and lower in fat than those weightloss…

Hi :) I just found this myself! You need to be logged onto the website (not an app). You'll find the blog option under the community tab. Good luck
