Once a week on Monday morning. I wake up go to the bathroom weigh and measure my self then work out and breakfast, it encourages me to to binge on the weekend and motivates me for the week! I find my weight fluctuates during the week quite a bit so monday is my weigh day unless i go to the doctors in the middle of the week…

Thanks everyone I usually have two serves of fruit a day, for eg today I had a peach and a cup of green grapes and yes I do have a sneaky chocolate or lolly every now and then but not in excess but about 80% of my sugar intakes is from fruit. I figured it was better to have a piece of fruit for a snack than a chocolate or…

I just started I am on day two of level one today and I can feel it. I am doing the modified push ups but trying to push and to all the other ones fully. I am currently on 69kgs and want to get down to 65 (i know it is wishful thinking) I too photos, measurements and weight on day one, I will take photos on day 15 and 30…

THANK YOU! xx

It is great that you are concerned for your friend, that is true friendship, having come from an eating disorder (I met my best friend in a support group) I had many friends that tried to help me when I was sick but what you need to realise that if you think she is developing an eating disorder that it is as much a mental…

I am studying nursing and was worried about this and spoke to some nurses on my placement and they said they make lunch their main meal of the day (their dinner equivalent) and usually have a steak or what they would have for dinner at lunch time and have a sandwich or salad at dinner time.

thanks for that hehehe goodies..I love it!

I make my own and it is easy as. I simply cut up the sweet potato into what shapes I wants (sticks, wedges or discs) then put them in a large bowl with a little bit of oil and some seasoning, u can use normal salt and pepper, or dried chilli flakes, or mixed dried herbs or Italian seasoning. then put them on a cookie sheet…

We have a thing in australia called 'mountain bread' it is similar to lavosh bread but it comes in many varieties including gluten free, rye white and wholemeal, it is great can I use it to make wraps, quesidllias, and cut it up and toast it and have it with salsa in place of corn chips, there is a while recipe book that…

Another user posted this link the other day with a bunch of 'snacks' with only 100 cals http://www.womenshealthmag.com/files/pdfs/100Calories.pdf I suggest the three cups of pop corn, because that is heaps! and will keep u full for ages!

I used to freak out as I am classed over weight by my BMI , and i went to my doctor, natropath, a nutritionist and a personal trainer and they all said the same thing take it with a grain of salt, it doesn't take into account muscle mass, bone weight, and cultural factors. I swam for much of my childhood and teen years and…

Hi Alisha! I will be your partner and help you along, I am currently studying to be an RN too ,I am about to start by 2yr of my 3yr degree! Sounds like we have similar friends I had a friend say 'she couldn't be bothered' she would rather be fat and relaxed and die young that be skinny and worry about it. feel free to chat…

Frist of all CONGRATS and second...it is none of her business! my mother always told me you never discuss a persons religion and political affiliation, income and money and weight and health unless they are a close friend or give u permission to! you should not be ashamed but I do understand what you are saying. I can't…

Thats amazing thanks so much, going to munch on some popcorn next time or some nuts and crasins!

Sounds good. I start Jillian's 30 day shred on Monday so I will need some motivation and encouragement! Good luck with the exam!

Im in! I want to loose 20 pounds too but I am a bit heavier I am on here everyday and I will kick your booty and u can kick mine if uwant!

What about putting some sort of pulse with it ie legumes, chick peas, lentinls etc in with soup, i think chick peas would be good and would tie in with the curry optiions, or just poach some chicken and dice in it and put it in just before you serve it

I ordered it today and I am super excited!

Thanks everyone for all your help, i tried to stick to chicken terryaki and avo/cucumber rolls (with half rice!) and also had some seaweed salad and eadame beans and miso...YUM EADAME BEANS!

I had it last night, I didn't have any poached chicken so I used some grilled chicken i had left over, It was really good. my partner suggested some cherry tomatoes in it as well (roasted of fresh) so I might add then next time for some more veg.

I just made these YUM but i didn't have splenda so i used a wee bit of caster sugar it was so good because i forgot about them and it sugar caramelised and went so yummo!

I will let you know how I go!

yumo thanks I am thinking of stirring some shredded poached chicken and making it like a make believe risotto for my main! (yes i know orzo is pasta !)

I think what u are talking about is the lemon detox diet the other ingredient is something similar to maple syrup and they suggest u drink nothing but that combintation for a week along with a laxative tea and a large glass of salt water in the morning to open ur bowels. I did it once and I was terribly sick I would vomit…

Sounds very yummy, How much orzo do u need is it 1/2lb

Thanks for that they both look great and I will have a look online asap
