It's funny you say that. My partner is divorced and he said the same thing when we first started dated (about the stigma and all that). We have been together over 2 years and live together. It doesn't worry me. It doesn't bother my friends, nor my family. He has gotton to know all of them and people based their judgments…

Ok... I have some photos now... Before After- (10 months later but have been maintaining for 6 months) Now to hit the weights for some guns and abs!! =P

Love looking at all of these. Reminds me of what I'm trying to do!

I make Gluten Dairy Fat Free Orange Jaffa Cupcakes with them. It makes it look like the cupackes are orange and poppyseed flavour!

I overeat when I drink. I usually drink when I've had a stressful day! If I can prevent the glass of wine, I usually can curb the eating too. Sometimes I also eat as a reward. My mindset is... I've done a good job I can have >insert binge here< It's ok to splurge now and then, our bodies even need it. I wouldn't sweet it…

Can I ask what your exercise regime is like? I too want to be at about 51kg and am thinking if upping my calories to 1400.

Hi! I'm 30 years old and also 5'2"-5'3". At my heaviest I was 154Ib but lost a bit before starting MFP a few years ago. Starting weight on MFP: 132 Ib Current weight: 121 Ib (which I haven't been since before I was 15 years old!) My daily allowance for calories was 1200 but I've upped it to 1300 and have since lost another…

First let me say... GREAT JOB LADIES! Looks like everyone has been on the ball and had some great results. I also would like the thread to continue or another group started up. it really gives me that little lift when I need it, reading about everyone who is giving it, their all. You guts inspire me. You're so good! I've…

As long as it fits your calorie and sugar goal... go for it =)

The only thing I've ever craved is.... wine! Needless to sat... THAT doesn't need an explanation of why. Lol.

I used to be the same. Dinner was my favourite (and biggest) meal of the day. The problem with this is that you're stomach never gets a chance to shrink. You eat sparingly through the day and are STARVING in the evening. For me this is the worst scenario because food is so much more accessable when I'm at home in the…

I used to be the same. The problem with this is that your stomach will never be able to shrink and you will always be needing that large meal to feel full! So when you're eating smaller in the day you are STARVING by night time. Try smaller meals more frequently through the day. Something along the lines of breaky,…

Yes. Tied it. Didn't work for me. MFP did though =)

Agh that is so annoying. I was much larger last year and only through hard work and dedication have I come so far. I get comments like that ALL the time. Some from friends... CONSTANTLY! "Go on have one, it won't kill you" (and if you have one)... "have another", "You getting salad again?", "You still trying to eat…

Sugar is sugar and you may not agree but I'm allowed to have that opinion. Of course going over the sugar goal isn't the end of the world. If you have a a calorie deficiet you can lose weight. BUT... from what I've researched and the healthy eating seminars that I've attended (school teacher and it mandated that we attend…

DO IT! I was the same. I gave it up for A WHOLE MONTH! After that I went from having it 3-4 times a week to having it 1-2. It really helped my initially. I've only just started my friday night drinks again but for a long while there I gave them up. Good luck!

Thanks guys for the support. V...Tiny frame? I think not! I started at 176 Ib with WW and than lost and was 150 Ib for ages before it starting creeping up again. I'm only 5 foot 2 and have been a size AUS14-16 most my life (US 12/large). My whole life I've been described as big boned and curvy! Tiny frame LOL. This week…

You can have anything if you have a microwave!

Shredded coconut, half a red apple, dash of vanilla essence and cinnamon... another 1 minute in the mircowave or some time on the stove and it's done! Soooo yum! If you need it a little sweeter you can add (and I add) a little stevia. Oh and I cook it in water and add a dash of soy/almond/dairy milk at the end (less cals…

Hey guys, great with the toe push-ups! Well done! I can't seem to get out of this rut. I've lost no weight and I've become pretty lazy over over the last few weeks (although it doesn't fluctuate as much and I am a constant 123 Ib) . I think being back at work and super busy combined with my commitment to playing in the…

bump

Lol. There's not really a right choice there :laugh: If it was me though and I HAD to order from there... I'd go the hamburger with no cheese. I'd give half my fries to my BF.

Is 40% considered low carb? I didn't even know that! I think I set mine to either 40% or 35%. You need to change the goals.

I usually leave 100-150 cals for the evening treat so I can have that little peice of chocolate with strawberries or paddle pop or piece of fruit with a cup of tea =)

Hey All, I haven't posted weight for a while because there has been nothing to report on. As you know, I went on holidays for two weeks and put on and this week it came off, so still sitting at 123 Ibs. STILL! I think this was my starting weight on here :grumble: What HAS changed, is that I have upped my cals from 1200 to…

Yeah originally I cut it out and immediately started losing weight. If you can't cut it out completely, you could try halfing your portions or switching to gluten free =)

Egg, beef jerky, low carb mini protein bar (or half one)

I know how you feel Dizzy. We eat less to lose for so long that it becomes a habit and when we get to the last few kg's you just can't wrap your head around eating MORE to lose. I'm at almost the same point as you. I'm 5 foot 3 and weigh 55kg. I want to lose another 2 pounds. I've plateaued for the last 4 months. 4…

Turning 30 kinda scared me too! Just turned it last December. It ended up being a good thing because it gave me a kick in the pants to start looking after myself properly and now look where I am!! Almost a year on and I weigh less and look better than I did at 15!!! It's just a number. You're only as old as you feel =) Ps.…
