Thanks Karen, that is great advice but I don't have a HMR, I'm going to try to find an app for my phone which does everything. Don't suppose you can recommend any? Good luck! Maybe we should keep in contact to share our progress? I did not get really far last time, just did the first day of the first week for about 2 weeks…

Same, the 3 times in my life that I got brave enough to walk into a gym I got mocked, by other gym goers and also once by a staff member. Once I even got locked into a 12 month contract and only went once, I tried to explain that I was not comfortable there because of being mocked and haters but they would not let me out…

I'm in too, Alice Springian!!!

Use the search function and read some of the information about TDEE and BMR, I would do a link but not sure how!!

Seriously, I would be interested to know where you learned that? I'm not sure what one serve of beef steak is but, I think it's about 100g or more and 100g of steak has 22g of protein, plus whatever you eat with it. My diet, is not perfect but I often consume more than 20g of protein in a meal and I'm never constipated!!

Ok, I'm not an expert by any means but this is my understanding. Your BMR is the amount of calories your body needs to survive and for your brain and organs to function properly if you are completely inactive (for example if you were in a coma.) You should NEVER net below your BMR, it's hard I know because sometimes it's…

Ok, so I'm not near you, in fact i'm in Alice Springs but Australia, so if you would like to add me feel free!!

My hubby and I looked at the Hemp Protein last weekend and we still prefer the brands you can buy in the supermarket, they have much higher protein in them, although not sure if the protein comes from plant matter or meat. It's not just protein that makes me lose weight, you have to be under your TDEE and get your macros…

Thanks, I do try not to weigh myself every day and especially around this time but sometimes, I just can't resist, that "self sabotage" part of me wins over and I just do it and then feel like crap, It's something I'm working on but as you all know it takes time, especially to defeat the deep seated psychological stuff.…

Thanks WFB

WOW, thanks everyone!!

eat advice, thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

Hahaha, I thought it was Quit ****ing Trying. LOL

Bike Kitchen Scales Puffed Corn - makes a fantastic snack, use some spray oil and any seasoning you choose, shake about in a bag then eat!!

I'm shocked that a peanut butter and Jelly sandwich is ONLY 400 calories!! Just wanted to say that it is awesome on this site, there is heaps of support and heaps of great people who can share their diary with you too!!

Australia, right in the Red Centre (Alice Springs)

Hey Jacob, Good on you, this is the first step in a great and satisfying journey!! MFP has been amazing for me, heaps of ideas, support and information. I recommend reseraching TDEE and BMR, you will be able to calculate your calories using these theories and be able to start losing weight in a healthy way!! I can't answer…

47 Pounds in 1 month, how the hell is that even possible? Are you ok now?

I don't know if youhave tried it but there is also water ZUMBA, it's AWESOME and much lower impact on larger bodies!!

Fantastic advice, sort of what I meant but could not think for the life of me how to say it!!

I cant be sure but maybe we can all try this. I don't stress eat as much but I absolutely "BORED" eat. I love being busy and can't stand not doing anything so when I used to cook and/or eat, when I am at home it's great. I cook healthy low cal meals and snacks which it's fine to eat, but at work is the hardest (hence me…

I have about 50kg to lose, glad and sad to see that I am not alone!

Ready2Rock, I have been questioning if I should change my goals on here. Thanks for that advice, I am going to do it tonight!! Cheers lovely lady!!

Also, I don't feel hungry really and I have been losing weight so as far as that goes it's ok, but I'm not sure it's right.

I'm not sure, but it seems too low in comparison to the calculations I have done and recommendations in regard to BMR and TDEE. I am trying to figure out if I should alter mine. It's at 1400 and I find that reletively easy to do especially as I eat back all my exercise calories but, I really want to lose weight in the most…

Thanks so much for all those comments, really appreciated. I think some of the major things for me is about the way I think about food and how it makes me feel. I have a very deep (unhealthy) emotional connection with food. For me, it's not too hard to lose weight, that's not the problem, for me the problem is the battle…

hang out
