I work as a bartender / waitress while supporting myself through a Law / Psychology degree. :)

Easiest is soup! Easy freezable and easy to make in bulk. And you can quickly whip up some rice to bulk it out. :)

Great work! Keep it up. :) Gah I wish I'd planned out before pics. :(

I like to do both and have a day on yhen day off. Since you're meant to allow your muscles to repair and thus grow..? That's just my theory. :)

Kanye West. Always. Architecture in Helsinki have kind of dancy / happy tunes and they're pretty good to run to also!

Mmmm I think some men don't get the difference in metabolism? Because it does exist and is very different between the genders! Might be okay for them to eat a whole pizza with the lot every few days, but that shows pretty quick on a woman.

Anyone who publicly whinges about their weight (other than on here!) is just attention seeking. If it's said privately to a friend that's a different matter.

^^ THIS. Why do those even exist as 'cardio'?! That's just part of daily life! I don't log 'showering' or 'hanging out the washing'.

If anyone uses this recipe I have added it to the database under 'Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies'. DELCIOUSNESS and a guilt-free way to kill a choc-PB craving! :smile:

Ah good to know! I've read all the responses on here and it's great to see so many supportive couples who work together. :) Interesting that a few have mentioned craft beers, probably my boyfriends only real interest. haha It'd just be nice if he was being passionate about something while I'm passionate about my health if…

^ hahahaha what!!

I am snow white pale (people always think I'm Irish until they hear the Australian accent!) soooo from a tube. If you need any tips hit me up, not much room for error when you're paper-white ;) haha

Mmmmm Greek Yoghurt. At the end of the day at least it's not ice cream!

Oh wow that's the first I've heard of people meeting through MFP! That's amazing. :)

See my boyfriend is supportive... He comments on the changes I've made and my body. But he still always wants to eat out and he does no exercise. And I'm kind of finding him less appealing in not sharing my new found love of life? Eg: I'd like to go for a picnic or a walk, he'd like to watch a movie or go to dinner like…

Customise it? I changed mine to the CLEARLY bad things like saturated fats and things I know I lack in my diet like iron. So unless you're worried about your protein intake I'd change it to something else. :)

I seriously love her haha Mmmm I'm the opposite... I'm so much MORE self conscious in a relationship and tend to drop a stack of weight, then when I'm single again BAM feel comfortable and put on 10 kilos. haha

I've got about 5 to go!! So excited. It's easy to lose motivation near the end and feel a bit 'near enough is good enough'. We'll get there!!

Personally my boyfriend is a bit of a foodie so we've tried the fancy and the filthy; Have had everything from raw meat, getting COMPLETELY the wrong meal, flies in drinks.. and HORRIBLE service! I'm pretty forgiving and understand 'bad days' working in the industry myself, you get some nasty customers, but there is no…

As someone who's worked hospitality for a while, AND is a bit of a germ freak.. You're better off not knowing. haha Mostly just small stuff like very minimal hand washing, but I'm very particular food wise! Things would probably be better if health and safety didn't give restaurants a heads up before they come!

Legs I guess! And eyes? People keep asking if they're 'real' o_0

Farmers Union is defs better than Chobani! If you like that thicker texture, the light version still has that amazing texture. Bonus! :)

Elliptical as treadmill is hard on the joints (ankles, knees, etc.) :)

I'm 5'7" and my current goal is 130lb. I am fairly muscular, it's just my body type, so I have to accept I'll never have the low numbers to match how I look. Any girls on this thread feel free to friend me! It's great to have similar shapes and sizes to encourage you. :happy:

Exactly what I needed!! Thank you!

I am 5'7" and a bit over 130lb, the REAL maintenance amount for me is 1700-1900 calories. MFP however tends to UNDER estimate your calories.

Sugar isn't BAD! You need it! Low blood sugar = decreased energy levels. It's like people saying fat is bad! Your body needs that! Calories are fuel not foe. :)

Wowww thanks for the share! Interesting when it's 'aggressive 25%' fat loss still recommends more calories than MFP does...

Hmmm the tape measure can also be misleading. My body is in a lot better shape but very little difference on the tape as I've muscled up! I like pictures tho. May start doing that. :)

I'm thinking I'll have to get onto that! But definitely hard to get the nutrition you need if you blow 400cal on a treat. :\ Idk my 1400 cal a day may be way too low in general..
