no sorry miss read. the *kitten* comment was a nasty reaction to the name that I want to change it to. the comment was from my fathers wife.... I don't hate my name I just don't like it and I never have, it's just does not feel like me and even less so now. I just want to use a version of my middle name which is Anne.

yes I think that people, sometimes feel rejected by our choices. I agree we need to live our lives as we need and want to it is ours to live after all.

it's just a popular 70s girls name. most people who I meet will say really you don't look like a k.... I agree the negativity is not pleasant. I kind of wished that I did this years ago. but I was never confident enough to, I am now and people don't see to like it. though it really is just my family. most of my friends are…

vitamins etc is not what I'm concerned with it's more of a heathy way to eat, the fibre and bang for your calorie buck so to speak. Weight watchers foods are very processed and un necessary. Eat well, good whole foods, fruit, veggies, lean meats, nuts and seeds in your calorie allowance with some treat foods thrown in and…

Hi, how many calories are you eating? you don't seem to be eating many veggies and fruit. depending on your hight and weight weight loss can vary. But if we know how many calories you are eating and your height it will give us a better idea of what you should be aiming for.

Thanks everything is telling me to eat a bit more, so maybe I will gradually increase it up a bit. I'm not so concerned with how much I end up weighing but I want to get rid of the extra fat around before I hit menopause. :/

anyone?

I had this problem tonight. I really wanted jam on toast, I thought about it, asked myself why I was craving it and then went ahead and toasted up 2 slices of bread added the ginger jam, logged it. sat down and each mouthful I took I said to myself had enough yet. I ate half a slice of toast and satisfied threw the rest in…

I'm bumping this as. I hate my scales. I can get on then off and when I get on again they are different. 3-400 grams different? if I move them to a slightly different spot and different reading again! This morning I jumped on and it said 67.9 then I got off again and jumped straight back on just to check 68.3. I moved them…

I agree 650 sounds like an issue to me.... I know I could eat more and loose weight more slowly and I could eat a lot more and excercise more but I'm really happy eating whole and plant based foods. It's the everyday eating of biscuits and cakes, muffins and chocolate that have kept me at 70-75 kg for years and years. I…

thanks do you mean MFP calculator that gives you your calorie amount depending on your activity? It always suggests 1200 or 1300 depending on how many days work out I

Ok, I was looking at Jillian Michael s 12 week plan and she suggests 1200 and a whole lot of exercise! If I were quiet over weight I would think that this is not enough calories... to aim loose 200grams a week would be ridiculous wouldn't you agree? yes slow and steady but 200 grams!

what about Atlantic special rye? it's the best I have found so far and it's available in Australia . it's the one with the red and clear packaging and is shaped like a cob. it's yummy!

Thanks so much everyone!

Thanks weighing after it's cooked may be the way to go....

have you tried a frozen banana with low fat milk and nutmeg? insanely yum and just over 100 calories:) no ice cream but the frozen banana is so like ice cream :) yum!

This is me... I had the same 3 kilos or so lost and gained. My aim is to loose the 11 kilos that have sat with me for years! I have been kind of maintaining this weight and didn't have the head space to do anything for the last 5 years. I started by trying to address why I eat a lot and when and why I don't exercise. I…

I really said WOW! Then got a bit teary for you lol, fantastic transformation. Thanks for the inspiration!!

bump, interesting....

I love that rule! think I may have to adopt it too.

bump. I'm really interested if you have any??

Yes I do weigh my food, and no I haven't given it enough time with consistent logging and weighing. My aim is to log for 12 months with weighing as I have been take up exercise cycling at least running is something that im excited about, but it's like standing on a diving board looking at cold water and urging yourself to…

that's what I'm saying it seem no matter what I eat I stay the same I'm not assuming it I'm baffled by it! I see moving up and down the same 2 kilos is pretty much staying the same. I agree with the exercise, you will not catch me at a gym though as I will never be able to keep it up they are all 30km away and I don't see…

I have opened my diary but haven't logged for the last couple of days as I have been away with the internet and it was difficult with friends but I ate as well as I could :)

I had a friend who was doing well with eating well and loosing weight. She then started working out at a gym for 3 hours a day. She was studying as a mature age student in her early 40s She started out at 130kg and got to 90 still above a heathy weight she is 170cm Her dietitian told her that she wasn't eating enough for…

inspired thank you! My stats are about the same as yours. I'm 5,4 currently 150 and I'm wanting to get down to 125. hopefully I look as good as you do when I get there. one question, you said that you started off eating low calories I'm assuming 1200? the. bumped it up. Did you also eat back your exercise calories? I'm…
