Wow! That's excellent progress - I can see the difference for sure! Keep at it! If that is what you've achieved so far so you should proud of yourself and you are on the home stretch now to reaching your goals. :smile:

I currently like what I do and it was what I always wanted to do....IT Infrastructure operations role.... But now am wondering if this is what I want to do for the rest of my life....so I am toying with the idea of doing some more study and becoming a naturopath or dietician.

My naturopath put it this way......you get the fibre from eating the whole fruit compared to if you juice and remove the pulp. Also it takes 3-5 apples or more to make a glass of apple juice (or orange juice etc and concentrates the sugar) and you can still be "hungry" after having a glass of juice, where if you ate the…

Fantastic result - have to agree with everyone when they say you look younger! Keep doing what you are doing because obviously it's working! :)

I don't have either, but the guys I work with say that the iPhone 5 is really bad for battery life....around 24 hours with light use, two of them have regretted upgrading from the 4 to 5. Hubby has an iPhone 4 for work but prefers his personal samsung galaxy s2.....

I've had a couple appear under my arms in the past few years. I did the "trick" of using beading thread which is like sewing thread but made of a nylon like fishing line (its like really fine fishing line). With the help of my partner I tied them off (as tight as I could stand it as close to the skin as possible and it did…

I read through and noticed you said you are in Australia. Yes if your tooth is infected you can go to Emergency, they will probably give you pain killers and antibiotics but you need to stop the infection, as other people have mentioned they can be life threatening if they get really bad. If you are based in a capital city…

I think you look fabulous! I think society in general is skewed on what is a normal healthy weight as we are all getting 'bigger' or thoses people are st downright jealous! To put it in perspective, my husband saw your pic as I was reading your post and his comment was 'wow!' then followed up with 'there is no way she is…

If I had a spare $800-$900 - a Thermochef or if I had around $2000 spare a Thermomix....they do they same things just the Thermomix is supposed to be the original and the best.......everyone that I know that has one raves that they are super easy to prepare and cook healthy foods in (including smoothies, risottos, kneading…

Feel free to add me too, I'm adding to my friends list slowly - I have been on here for 50 days now and log in every day - in for the long haul (so to speak) and looking for like minded people to help motivate and support each other.

I've had a few near 'I've had it' moments over the past few years and sometimes I think I have managed to convince myself that I'm not all that bad etc. I was never overweight in my teenage years and early 20's but from about the age of 27 my weight just kept going p, I'd lose a little and then out more on and then lose…

As recommended by my naturopath I take a multi which is high is the b group, also d3, magnesium, zinc, fish oil and I have also started taking kelp. My doctor has also recommended the fish oil and vitamin D. I also take chaste berry which is good for balancing "female" issues, also recommended by my naturopath.

If you are still feeding and your little one is still having night feeds its common for you not to get your period. My sister in law is part of a help line for breast feeding mothers (trained) and she reassured me that its very normal. I didn't get my period back until my boy started to wean and stop his night…

Name/ real name: Ljuba Have added my weight from this morning as it's already Monday in Australia. I'll log in both kgs and lbs. :smile: Goal weight on December 31: 238 lbs (or 108kg) 12/1: 110.6 kg (243.3 lbs) 12/3: 110.4 kg (242.9 lbs) 12/10: 12/17: 12/24: 12/31:

I would also like to join if there is a spot left. I need to be kept accountable to make sure I keep myself on track. I am just stating out and still have a long way to go on my weight loss journey.

Feel free to add me. I am sorta new too and looking for like minded people with similar goals (an online support group so to speak) Losing the weight and getting healthier again.

I have one tattoo. I got it earlier this year, after thinking about getting one since I was 18. I had a great artist that listened to me and what I was after (Or more what i didnt want - I was very vague!) and she drew something up that exceeded my expectations and it has special meaning to me. I am thinking about getting…

Techie computer nerd here (more infrastructure stuff now - haven't done programming in years). Which I balance out with being bookworm (fiction and non fiction / escapism and learning) and aromatherapy junkie. Now I'm just trying to translate some of that passion into my weight loss efforts.

Aussie mum here of 1 very active nearly 6 year old boy. Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me. I have just joined MFP in the last 3 weeks and the support here is great. I'm not from NZ but am from across the ditch in Aus. :)

Hi! I've only been on MFP for about 2 weeks now and am hoping to lose around 38kg (which is around 84lbs I think). I finally hit the biggest I had ever been in my life 116kg (around 255lbs), I have managed to lose 3kgs so far which is around 7lbs. I was never overweight as a teenager and the weight only starting coming on…

I've just started with MFP in the last couple of weeks - I have about 90 pounds to lose (which sounds much worse than 41kg!) I've lost about 7 pounds so far but have a long way to go. Feel free to add me as well. I think having friends to support and motivate me will help keep me on track and get me back on track if I…

Joined MFP in the last couple of weeks. Located in Victoria. Feel free to add me. :)
