MAN SANDALS! the kind with the velcro... EW (especially when worn with socks...)

Hi there, reading this thread has been really interesting as I have been thinking about going on the pill for a while. After hearing some of the horror stories though I don't think it is an option any longer. I just wanted to say I have been using a diaphram for over two years now and it is also great! It really works well…

amazing work!! your look great :D

great thanks for your help! yes my pizza is the kind that uses a large mushroom for a base :) I should definitely eat more spinach, will try to add to lunch. I also found that drinking some stock each day is really helping with the headaches and 'atkin's flu' symptoms. Where can I access the atkins counter? I tried using…

I'll just add you as a friend then you can see my food diary :) I lost another 400g today which takes me to a kg.. Typical menu breaky: two rashers bacon, two fried eggs, coffee with splash of cream lunch: salad with chicken, cheese or ham dinner: mushroom pizza and fried zucchini snacks: atkins day break bar with cup of…

one word. Atkins.

I disagree (respectfully) with part of that. Eventually your metabolism slows down on a low calorie diet and you stop losing weight (also known as a plateau) this doesn't happen on low carb and you never go hungry on low carb either which is a massive advantage!

I am currently on day five of Induction if anyone would like an extra like-minded friend feel free to add me :)

It's really worth looking into low carb diets, I found I got stuck too when I was just eating low calorie. good luck!

agreed! Also i have seen both, i actually watched both in a row and to be honest i get what supersize me is saying but with fat head it wasn't so much a focus on saying 'no' as a focus on the fact that fat is not the problem in weight loss but refined carbs are. If you haven't seen fat head its definitely worth a watch. I…

smalls! :D

hahaha lmfao, I've been wondering this for ages and been logging it as brisk walking... its really awkward when people comment on my 'great walk' ... SO going to log it now though just to see what people say :D

I haven't been too overweight before, just squishy and now I've lost 4kg (8-9lb) i found my boobs got a tiny bit smaller but mostly I just went down a size around the back. I was a 12C when I started losing and am now a 10C. Although I've heard if you have a lot of weight to lose you can lose quite a bit in cup size as…

Hi Sarah! congrats on making this decision. Seriously mfp has been the best thing in the world for me and I'm sure it will help you too! I know what its like to get no support from your family, everyone in my life seemed to be telling me I was fine and that I didn't need to lose weight. The scales told a completely…

lolz **** i'm only 21...

ITS SOOO DIFFICULT!! But mainly drinking tea with milk (18 cal) keeps the hunger down and actually I find sex relieves the cramping a lot, although I guess that depends on your partner as well..

Hi! don't worry too much as long as you are eating at least 1100-1200 calories a day which includes lots of fruit, veggies and lean meats/proteins, you'll be just fine! You're body will only go into starvation mode if it isn't getting the nutrition it needs. Follow the mfp guidelines for a healthy daily intake of vitamins…

Hi feel free to add me if you like. I always have an open diary and log everything (even the naughties). Happy to have new friends to share the journey with!

Some of my favourites (mostly great for running): - Sexy ***** (David Guetta) - Memories (David Guetta) - Love Don't Let Me Go (David Guetta vs The Egg) - Dance Dance (Fall Out Boy) - Share it With Me (Family Force 5) - Dance Floor Anthem (Good Charlotte) - Private Dancer (Pitbull ft Danny Fernandez) - We no Speak…

I have been doing Bob Harper's Yoga Warrior dvd and his Fat Burning Cardio dvd and love them both, they can be easily achieved from the comfort of a large lounge room too! lol Another great thing to do to increase your metabolism before breaky is a quick 10 minute workout such as: 30 squats 10 push ups 30 star jumps…

I watched this show ages ago and thought it very inspiring! It so great to watch someone's success story. I didn't do the full juice diet but I did start juicing for breakfast. Some mornings that was all I had and sometimes I'd have food as well. The differences I noticed were my energy levels, I was suddenly so energetic…

Well apology accepted :-) I understand my comment may not have been worded the best and i'm sure the people on my friend list would testify that I am a very supportive person and respect everyones hard work regardless. I was talking about people with zero health issues and plenty of time to focus on their goal. Again, no…

meh whatever you think, you're overreacting to what I said, if you want to take my comments in bad light that is up to you. I certainly did not intend to upset anyone. I'm also not an arrogant person but if you would like to believe that by all means go right ahead. I shall chalk this conversation up to you having a bad…

Sorry if you found my post offensive but it is well known that your body can get used to what you are doing to make it lose weight and hence you may experience a 'plateau'. It can help to mix up your technique. I'm not saying its the same for everyone I was simply sharing my own experience and opinion. I feel that if you…

I've read sweet poison! its a great read! an absolute MUST if you're trying to increase your health and lose weight.

lol omg me too, its so frustrating, and every time i DO find a pair that actually fit I wear them so often they die within a couple of months :P

i think dress sizes are a little bit more stable though, i tend to more go by my dress size not pants or whatever

womens clothing sizes in general are ridiculous! its impossible to know if something will fit without trying it on these days.. I did hear something about it being part of the fact that a lot of clothes are imported so the sizings are dodgy, that as well as the vanity sizing..

I avoid added sugar as much as possible, the only sweet things I have are fruit (which are great as desert but also high in calories so you have to be careful). I think refined sugar is terrible for you and can cause a huge variety of health problems including the exacerbation of skin conditions such as acne and eczema.…
