of course, why wouldnt you want all the motivation, support and *kitten* kicking you can get to help with this lifestyle change :-)

My son is getting married in October 2019 and i don't want to be 'that' person in the forever memories.

you may just cop a serve for suggesting tanning, however....UV (PUVA) treatment is widely used to treat psoriasis and other skin conditions. you start at 10 seconds in a booth getting blasted by UVA lights, then it slowly increases to no more than about 1 minute. it works brilliantly for very severe psoriasis. I however…

my left knee has been doing the crunchy gravel sound when bending/climbing for a while now, couple of years actually. my doctor told me off when I went to him finally as the xray showed that it was small bits of cartilage and tears that were causing the noise and could have been fixed with minor surgery, scraping it clean.…

that its my birthday yay....

I drink at least 1L a day of diet coke! and for any that want to say oh you shouldn't its not good etc etc....well blah blah blah I haven't asked for your opinion!

be careful....packet oatmeal is not GF. you need to buy specific Gluten Free oats, steelcut or otherwise labelled. Oats have gluten :-)

HI I have severe arthritis in both knees and bone-on-bone in the R knee and do a few things at home. I have the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD and have just adapted a few moves so there is no impact otherwise its pretty good workout, oh and I don't do lunges. everything else is fair game. I have a x-trainer that I use…

what I don't understand is why people have to be so concerned about what others are doing...you are at the gym for your OWN workout. Not worrying about your own self is what got you to be needing to go to the gym in the first place!!!

its a great watch, I have it. the strap is adjustable and its ok for it to stretch to fit.

oh gee this looks bad lol 1. Iced Coffee 2. Tomatoes 3. BBQ sauce 4. Mayonnaise 5. Capsicum 6. Almond Meal 7. Brussel Sprouts 8. Spinach 9. Skim Milk 10. Celery I thought I ate way more protein sources than that. Think i need to cut back on the condiments. :-)

Mandurah here.....Wow so many from Mandurah.....Hope that is not indicating we have problem down here. I think I will take it as we are more motivated and health conscious :-) Feel free to add me!

for something completely off track.....the best "diet" is a dose of laughter everyday....reading thread after thread of arguing of what diet works better, what diet consists of what, and then best of all the funny little pics chucked in with a dash of sarcasm IS THE BEST DIET THAT WORKS FOR ME. Not that I am on a diet by…

it used to happen to me until I went and had a fitting for the correct shoes. now I have the shoes that support and fit my feet snuggly and not tingling toes,l aching ankles or sore hips/back anymore. can easily get thru 1hr on treadmill then 1/2 hr on cross trainer withough any issues in my feet.

I had mine out almost 30 years ago at the age of 16. I don't remember having any trouble staying thin in my younger years. only really got fat about 10 years ago. I too suffered bad reflux for many years now but I have had very minimal since I changed my diet and lost this 20kg in 5 months. I think you just have to keep…

congratulations....you have achieved a fabulous result and should be very very proud of yourself. Its horrible to hear that people were mean when you were carrying that extra weight but some people just don't know how to be nice and recognise what's inside. Its their loss! Its fabulous that you want to share your success…

HI Mark I log in everyday and like to support and encourage so will feel free to add me on your friends list. we all have a starting number, just concentrate on each day. move more and be more conscious of what you eat and each day will get a little easier until its a new habit for you. You WILL get there.

I like creamy polenta so for an itaian dish I make: 1 cup polenta 3 cups almond milk 1 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp onion powder 1 tablespoon low fat butter bring milk to boil adding butter to melt. add in garlic, onion powder and polenta. continue to stir until polenta is smooth. press between fingers to ensure it does not…

hey, have added you. im not a new mum, infact mine has recently left home. I decided it was time for a change on April 1st and have stuck to my lifestyle change and am still very motivated so will be sure to encourage and support you.

sent :smile:

I have had this in my left knee for years and unfortunately neglected getting it seen to. just recently I changed doctors and he xrayed my knees and gave me quite a stern talking to for leaving it çrunching' for so long", it is now in need of a full replacement. the crunching is the tears and floating bits of cartilage etc…

friend request sent to all....can never have enuff people pushing you along :bigsmile:

the star jumps....not fun with very bad knees. replace them with high knee jogging. :-(

Soy Milk, ALmond Meal and drizzle of Golden Syrup and yep all at the same time. Yummo

I find I job on the spot with high knee jogging. I cant do the jumping jacks as I have very bad knees and the impact kills. I think the trick to to adapt to some other form of high intensity if there is something you cant do due to a medical reason. otherwise push hard and you will get thru. the first 2 days killed me...I…

I have been wearing the same cup size (DD or F) dependent on brand since I was a teenager. the only time they have changed was when I was pregnant. My weight has fluctuate a lot in all those years and they still stay the same. I am hoping this time round they might change to a smaller size, what with getting old n all we…

http://www.self.com/fitness/workouts/ have a look at this site...it has some great suggestions for incorporating some weights into your training. it has videos to watch that explain how to do them. I think it would help, I use some of them after my walk. can I suggest seeing your GP for your depression...im not suggesting…

What a wonderful insight you have of yourself. With that self knowledge and understanding of how you 'tick' you can only succeed. remember to take things at the pace that you can cope with...losing weight is not a marathon run..it doesn't have a distance or time frame! Its your cross country run :smile: challenge yourself…

I bet she regrets even asking the question...absolutely amazed at how some people are so rude and arrogant on this site...some of us are beginners and really don't know the answers...to all those that think they do..... lighten up and be polite to each other on these posts....it gets so ugly when people have a differing…
