I am from the Hunter Valley NSW. Hi all. I am vegan,love MFP and fitbit.

I drink water,decaf green tea,herbal teas and make up a jug with water,sliced cucumber,mint and lemon juice to drink during the day.Absolutely no soda.

I am vegan and do 5:2 fasting feel free to add me.

I just found that the calories in alcohol weren't worth it. It also weakens my resolve and then i'll eat more.I stick to sipping an occasional glass of red wine.You have to decide what is more important and at the moment for me it's losing weight.

New woman, new life, well done!

Get your gear on, walk out with your head high,get in the car and go to someone else for the night! We will only be treated the way we accept being treated. You my darling are worth more than this.

I got my lovely labradoodle dog and now I have to walk every day.At first it was a chore and now I look forward to it.

Thermomix,good kitchen scales,wiifit.

I started yesterday too and felt great. I even did a yoga class.Did you have enough fluid?I don't have sugar or coffee but if you do maybe you were withdrawing a bit too.I have a very all or nothing personality so feast and fast suits me. I lost over a kg in the day!!

Everyone has been so supportive and complimentary except one friend who seemed to take my loss as a personal challenge to her. We are really not comfortable together now, I am not going to apologise for my hard work.(I lost 22kg before joining MFP) Anyway life changes and mostly for the better.

I agree with the above suggestions,though I have no animal products at all. I would like to add no sugar!!!! Cancer feeds on sugar which is why when you have a scan they inject glucose into your vein so any areas of cancer will suck it up and then are highlighted.

Oh darling, my heart breaks for you.I was diagnosed in 2009 and remember well the shock and the fear. Please don't catastrophize it is so easy to have yourself dead and buried.I have had two recurrences and can now say honestly I am the happiest and healthiest I have ever been.I love my life. I eat well and exercise a lot…

There is a great book called sweet poison and it explains so well what a huge addiction sugar is and how much it affects your overall health and well being.Cancer feeds on sugar which is why they inject it when you have some scans, the cancer sucks it up and can then be highlighted.It is a poison and is put into…

Hi feel free to add me.My diary is open I am vegan and don't often eat processed food. I love good fresh fruit and vegies.I like to cook and think part of losing weight is to eat well not just fewer calories.Nourish your body.

Thanks for the inspiration.You should be amazingly proud of yourself!The beginning of your new life.

I think we are all here because we enjoy eating.Well I do anyway. I would hate that to be taken away from me.The restrictions after the surgery are huge. I think learning to eat well and moderate yourself is the way to go.Slow and steady. No quick fixes just a step at a time.

Hi, I bought my fitbit one from Harvey Norman web site (Aus) I found it very motivating but washed it week three and that was the end of it. I am waiting for the new fitbit flex to be released as it is a wrist band and water proof.

Wow,well done! Congratulations, you're inspirational.

It sounds to me like you are human just like the rest of us! We all have a glitch now and then.We are all here because we had that pattern all the time at least now you know it isn't the way you want to go. So........ dust yourself off and look forward not backwards.It's done, get back to it and move forward.Good luck.

Hi feel free to add me my diary is open.I haven't had a drink this year.I don't want to drink so many calories and I too have trouble limiting my consumption.I find it much easier to just not have any alcohol!

I love traveling but I'm always happy to get back to Australia.

A vegan diet reduces inflammation because it is much more alkaline than a diet with animal products.

I haven't had any alcohol since Jan 1st and feel really great.My resolve regarding diet and exercise isn't as good when I drink and I would prefer to eat my calories than drink them.Good luck.Feel free to ad me.

That's great you love you're new look. I like my eyelids because theyare now visible but find overall I look much older and more lined the more weight I lose. :(

Walk back in with your head high.You did nothing wrong. They are paid employees.Having said that I wouldn't leave my children in that enviroment.

I think understanding your addiction is a good start. I read a book called Sweet Poison which makes a lot of sense.
