The secret life of bees!

Like you, my mother considered my weight at 11 to be a taboo topic, she did little things to try and help me, without ever bringing up the fact I was 20kg overweight for an ADULT at my height, 9 years later and I wish it hadn't of been taboo, may have saved me having to drop out of High School in year 8 thanks to bullying,…

It matters because OP feels it matters, take your feminism spiel elsewhere!

I don't have kids, but I offer the outside perspective, I wait at the bus stop (and do so several times a week), I see out of the corner of my eye a kid walking dangerously close to the lane that buses barrel into every few minutes, I wait and see if their parents have noticed yet, nope, they're too busy with their new…

Seriously consider waiting until you've lost more weight to go for IVF, why? You want to have the healthiest pregnancy possible, and you're gonna want to be in good shape to run around after a kid!

Outrageous!.... Wait, now I get it. :bigsmile:

You're a wonderful person! :flowerforyou:

...Have you perhaps thought of preparing your own meals?

False :( TnP hates cooked carrots.

I've only ever heard of you shouldn't cook with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, something about the way/amount of times the olives are pressed through makes the oil "change" during cooking and your food is going to taste like crap, learnt that the hard way on a pork roast a few years ago, and the had the suspicion confirmed when I…

http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ You don't have to listen to me, my ticker does the talking. To become a "Nutritionist" it's pretty much a one day course from what I've heard and seen, and a lot of them are still plugging away outdated beliefs on weight loss (Anyone been suggested rice cakes?) 800-1000…

This^ Now when I look back and think of how many times I said to people who were unhappy with their current weight that "hey at least your not MY weight, you don't need to lose anything!" And now, after hearing this myself, honestly, if someone feels like they need to lose weight it's their body, their choice, I'm not…

Thanks for the reply :) It could be a case of trial and error but was hoping maybe someone had an mad scientist moment and had tried it before :P :flowerforyou:

Congratulations on getting down first off, I think the first thing I noticed with your post was "I want to live" I used to have this thinking, and that's what kept me overweight for so long, I get that counting calories can sometimes get stagnant and denying yourself downright sucks somedays. But your post sounds like a…

Thank you for sharing! The first two months after I started I was also proudly a part of the 1200cal club! I lost 15kg in two months, and then all of a sudden, I stopped, a complete plateau. and it took a while to work up the courage to go up to a 20% calorie reduction.

You REALLY need to speak to a doctor about this, anyone on here can give you all the advice in the world, but the fact is you will never know for sure if it's right, I read somewhere that when you're pregnant you should up your calories to the equivalent of a piece of toast and a banana, I'm guessing that not eating those…

I'm right there with you Sarah! I'd been smoking since i was 15 (little under 5 years) I've been cold turkey for 1 week as of today :D with minimal cravings (I was not a heavy smoker, but I could go through half a pack depending on the day) I've been using an Electronic cigarette, it gives you the action of smoking, which…

Bump, because I'm hoping OP will reply and say if pregnancy stuck, best of luck!

I just threw out $300 worth of clothing (lingerie) That killed.

I was eating around 1200 cals a day for the first two months, I lost about 13kg (started at 115kg to 102.5kg) I personally felt great the whole time, but found it really easy to eat less than 1200 calories (because hey 200-300 cals difference doesn't matter right?!) I got really obsessive with it, so imagine the absolute…

Since you're so unmotivated right now, I'll tell you how my wedding went, I didn't have motivation to lose weight or try to be remotely healthier, I had a 6 month window of opportunity to do something about it, but I didn't, so now, 10 months and 1 day later I'm embarrassed as hell looking at my wedding pics now, all I can…

a few months ago there was a massive success story on here of a woman that didn't have a clean diet, she would eat back exercise calories (usually from a burger) and holy crud she looks amazing! wish I could find the story but it was a massive spread :) Me personally, I still eat takeaway once a week, I don't have an…

The oatmeal one got me, not because it was offensive, but because of the reaction it received, the person who wrote that probably had in mind the people that have gained a few lbs, not a few hundred, over the winter, and merely pointed out that oatmeal is a healthier low cal alternative to something else. While we all know…

Woah, haven't heard the song quoted, ever... Girl you keep it so fly with yo sweet honey buns ;)

Dear 16 Year old me, Put down the energy drinks, they didn't make you lose 5kg that week you were on antibiotics, you didn't eat that whole bloody week and the thrush was proof of that >.< STOP hanging out with those a'holes you call your "friends" that guy that is like your brother and that you're best friends with and…

Ditch him, seriously, if he's a jerk when he's around this "friend" then it's obvious who is more important to him, and it aint you.

Definitely a pro-ana site, just saw a forum on there about "a pattern with losing my period"

Starting to see a connection here o.O Jillian has a lot to answer for!

Not meaning to be gross, but same thing happened to me! 4th day of 30 day shred, doing the jumping jacks (I had AF so that could have contributed to the sensation lol!)
