I made a mango plum and honeydew melon version of this earlier in the year, was soo yummy! Must make it again soon!. I boiled my fruit up with water, pureed it, cooked it down till it was reduced by one third, then put it in our dehydrator. It took soooo long to dry out though, so I will try the oven at a low temp next…

bumping to try in summer, it sounds delish!!!

Ahh yup been there before :( Checking out the prices to see whether frozen is cheaper than fresh that week is good, also when fresh fruit or veg is heavily discounted, buy in bulk and chop and freeze to supplement what you can afford weekly. Also are there any community gardens near you that you can grow your own produce…

Yes please! :)

That other stuff tastes awful! I say screw splenda, I love my raw sugar. I also have full cream milk in my coffee, and I drink at least 4 a day. The cals are worth it for awesome coffee!

Double quarter pounder with bacon, and a nice caramel sundae to dip my fries in!

I do water down juice 50/50 to make is last longer the kids go through it like crazy! As for milk, we go through nearly 30 liters a fortnight (and only shop fortnightly) So I buy a few fresh and the rest UHT and stash it in the cupboard. I buy in bulk when something is heavily discounted, and when there is a really good…

I am grateful that no matter how hard things get, and despite everything we have been going through and no matter how angry we are, the last thing my husband says to me before leaving for work, and before I fall asleep every night is I love you.

depending on which recipe site you're on, a lot of them have the option to view the recipe in metric. If not sites like this are great http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/cooking/

Made a version of this tonight with ham, pineapple, olives and grated zucchini Soooooooo yummy! This recipe is getting put into the regular column for family meals!

I love getting cheered on, and I like cheering others on :) It's good to have somewhere to talk about weightloss, food etc and have other people interested in it to talk to.

You can definitely see the difference! You look great! Keep up the good work :)

Well done! you look gorgeous!

Well done, you are looking great! :)

You look amazing! Well done!

I nearly made it through the second circuit of my beginners body weight circuit today! I have only ever managed doing the first circuit before :smile:

pan fried in a little butter with mushrooms bacon and garlic. Soooo yummy!

My SIL told me about the marbles in a jar idea and I loved it, but I never thought to craft it up! Thanks for the inspiration :) *goes off in search of hot glue gun :) *

I so needed this today! Thank you :)

mmm bacon..... I just polished off 3 slices with scrambled eggs and mushrooms cooked in bacon grease :) One of these days, I WILL taste tactical bacon! My hubby thinks it sounds horrible, but to me it sounds like heaven!

When my family came to visit after I hadn't seen them in a year, and I spent the whole visit on the couch hunched over myself trying to cover up how fat I am, and didn't want to play soccer and Frisbee etc cause I didn't want everyone seeing how much my fat jiggled. I thought I was ok with the size I was until then. Got…

am a good mother and housewife :) and I am learning to be good to myself as well as others :)

great thank guys! My dumbells are rounded, so i'll look into some push up stands :)

awesome thank you :) I have some barbells, so I'll work them in. Glad to hear it gets better as you get stronger!

I'm feeling ya! I cant exercise other than walking/running when my youngest is awake cause it triggers a major meltdown (he's on the spectrum) And when I asked hubby to watch him for 40 mins 3 times a week so I can go for a run he kicked up the biggest stink, and wants to know when he can get 3 hours a week to himself away…

What a fantastic inspirational post! My goal is the same, reach a healthy bmi. Well done :)

Yup another binger here. I still binge at night, but am swapping out what I used to binge on for healthier options, also trying to eat a little less each time, eat it slower, stop sooner etc. Seems to be helping, am managing to stay under my cals most of the time. I'm a work in progress lol, looking forward to being a…
