Yes lyra. :) I only do lyra classes (currently once a week) but hoping to build that up with extra sessions after I finish 'beginner' classes. Also have a pull-up bar at home which honestly has helped me so much. The studio I go to is hoop & pole, I am the only person in my class who hadn't done pole! haha but pole just…

Hey! I'm Melbourne based. :) Feel free to add me fellow Aussies. x

I don't track anymore (I got too obsessive about it, so many more important things to worry about honestly!) and now I just go by my body i.e 'oh *kitten* I've put on a bit of pudge, need to stop hitting the desserts so hard'. And I've taken up a form of exercise I LOVE and love training for. I've never liked my body more.…

just bumping this for (hopefully) aerial lovers in other lands!

Don't take it personally, people don't tend to notice weight changes in people they see frequently because it's gradual. Just like you don't notice the little wrinkles and what not appearing on your partner over time until they're huge :wink: I.e: I lost 5 kilos while my parents lived in the country = they didn't notice. I…

I agree on the counselling. It sounds like you have a lot going on and it's nice to talk to someone without feeling like a burden. and if your husband isn't giving you the support you want a psychologist would be good for that too. :wink: That being said sometimes relationships just don't work when 'real life' sets in. I…

I think there appeal lies more in SHOWING you what you can build under it. They suck you into the shape you want to achieve. And even if you're just sweating out your water weight around your middle I think it'd still be encouraging. So regardless of the fact it doesn't actually give you real results it's nice to THINK…

I'm surprised you haven't copped a torrent of 'OMG you can't spot reduce!' haha I am also really curious about these. There is a lot of hype around cinchers lately especially with Khloe Kardashian going on about them. Exercising in the heat is meant to aid your muscles and fat burning, so cinchers could help in that regard…

Other than shopping, makeup, etc. Think about the things you've missed! All that time you can now spend with your friends and family. If you feel super blue go on youtube and type in 'perks of being single' etc. SO many hilarious vids to remind you and make you laugh. ;) Or put on 'Dancing On My Own' by Robyn, grab a…

I really haven't heard good things about Yasmin from anyone.... I've been on (and off) Levlen for 5+ years and no issues. It's the standard birth control these days in Aus. :) Just one to look into! I wouldn't recomend implanon, my cousin had it inserted and THEN experienced exactly what you've described. Another friend…

Glad to hear people are enjoying these! Yes they are quite fudgy, but so so good at kicking cake cravings. :) From memory I cut into 16.

On the fake tan note (if you choose that option) buy a tanning mitt rather than using gloves! It blends it much more nicely and you shouldn't get those orange marks. Take that from someone who is 'ghost' level all year round.

I did several months of counting, and now I've gone several months without. I think counting is great to give you an idea of how many BAD calories are in certain things (this muffin is 400cal what?!!). I stepped on the scale for the first time after 2 months (and no gym as I've moved and been lazy as!), I was fearing the…

Since when can you eat those?! haha

haha Taco Bell is definitely a legitimate craving! Yeah emotions getting high seems to be the common theme here :frown: And thanks guys! But I do have a history of bitterly disappointing birthdays hahah

'Hey you look like my ex-girlfriend ... want a drink?' Said by my actual ex-boyfriend. Too drunk/high to realize I WAS his ex-girlfriend!

^ Thank you!! And to 90% of people posting going 'omg hip dip lol what an idiot why do you care' if you had READ half this thread before commenting you would've seen the sarcasm intended by the phrase. :flowerforyou: The question was about building muscle; apparently only a small degree of this is possible but thank you to…

Change your behaviour at all. They'll find out what you're really like sooner or later!

21 almost 22. Looking to lose about 10lb of fat and change my shape. :)
-
Yeah that's not going to help you at all. 'Detox' is just a word used by companies to sell you products you don't need. If you've got a liver and kidneys, all your 'detoxing' needs are being met.

I am not a strict vegetarian, I eat chicken or fish once or twice a week, but my diet is largely plant based. It is hard in the beginning to bulk out your meals without a large hunk of an animal (I've advised a few friends through the transition out of a high-meat diet), but once you learn to love lentils and brown rice it…

I met mine at a club haha But I'd known a bit about him through people before that. A couple of drinks just gave me the confidence to actually approach him! As ideal as the cross fit idea sounds to find a girl with a common interest, I know I don't appreciate guys or anyone trying to chat to me at the gym. I'm there to…
-
I was trying to be helpful I swear! Did sound a bit narky sorry. It's just I have a similar issue, I often feel disgusted with my body etc. And a lot of that is because I used to be very thin! But the only way to quash those thoughts I'm having is to look at the evidence. Look at the scale, note peoples comments ('you look…
-
I think you need to stop categorising yourself as either 'fat' or 'thin'! If you're 115-130 you're healthy and normal for someone of your height with a slender frame. End of story.
-
I may be the odd one out here, but I found counting calories to be a hindrance. While I enjoy food I've always been an erratic eater and generally too busy to think about it much. But I do mostly eat healthy. Calorie counting caused me to always be planning food and what I could have within my allowance; basically I was…

Yes you can surely get into smaller than an 8.. But I personally have a wide ribcage, and similar to you with wide hips, weight loss helps to a degree but you've got to admit your limit at some point! I know I'll never fit into size 1 tops while the rest of me can do so easily. It's just the way we're made! (I'm talking in…
-
I'm having the same issue :\ when I had about 10kg more fat on me my cheeks were fully and I just looked so much healthier and happier facially! I am very pale with high cheek bones so now I look pretty gaunt and unfriendly. Unfortunately we just can't have it all! Makeup tricks are the only solution haha A bit of bronzer…

Um has anyone pointed out that it is useless to weigh yourself daily?! Your body fluxuates with water etc retension. Weigh yourself every week or 2. At the same time of day. You didn't gain the weight in one day so don't expect to lose it in one! :wink:
-
Aw, you! :blushing: I'm not rocking back and forth crying over it, but I am a bit of a perfectionist and was curious. :) I'll deal with the hips I've got! The grass is always greener.
-
the 'dreaded' part was meant to come off sarcastic! haha but thanks for all the amazing answers. :wink: I have pretty good legs if I may say so... Only part of me that is 'shapely'. So the dip there doesn't really bother me. I just can't seem to get a smaller waist, I'm pretty straight up and down in the stomach region, so…
