Hey guys, so things have NOT been going well and i'm reporting a pound weight gain this week... I'm not surprised though, but the past 2 days have been better and i'm finding that motivation again. I forgot to measure in the beginning! So here are my measurements as of now 29th April measurements Neck- 12.5 Arms (not…

Kay i'm really bad at math but i went on the tredmill for about 25 mins, set at around 5mph. Then i went for a 45 min walk. Wasn't really feeling great today and it took me about 2 hours of procrastinating just to get my butt to the gym. I've been really struggling lately, trying to push on through because i know it'll…

Weighing in a bit early today :) I bought a new digital scale, when my second-hand $1 one decided one morning that i was 8 pounds heavier when i'd been eating well and hitting the gym daily. But according to this new one i'm 135.5 pounds. I know that it's right, because it's the same as the gym scale, but i kind of feel…

I'm sorry you're in such a tough situation. I agree with looking for other options like churches or charities. Perhaps you could hold a yard sale or something like that to raise some extra money?

ice skating, watching a movie (bring your own snacks in a bag) a night out at the casino, bowling, hiking at night? lol that could be dangerous They don't have to revolve around food, but once in a while a glass of red wine and a healthy dinner wont do any harm :)

hmmm that sounds good, i love laughing cow cheese

Mine's 49, but it's not because i'm a supreme athlete, but i am getting fitter. Just naturally low like that.

Big difference in that waist and also your profile! well done!

Hows everyone been going? I've had a few terrible days over the past week. But i'm feeling back to my old self now... I blame it on hormones. And here this ladies, i started the birth control pill 1 month and a half ago, and.... I. STILL. HAVE. THAT. TOM. Yup that's right, for a month and a half!! Don't worry i've of…

this sounds sooooo yummy, will have to try :) thanks for posting

Happy to report a 1lb loss this week, so i'm down from 142 to 141 :) Confession time though, last night i had the worst binge i have had in a very long time. I ate to the point of feeling sick, and i don't know why... I wasn't stressed or nothing happened to push me to do it. It just happened and then i couldn't stop. I…

I've lost 15 pounds too, but i've lost my before photos! This is really encouraging though,to know that 15 pounds can make this much of a difference. and i think the face shots so such a difference. Well done!

what about trying green tea? chamomile and peppermint? I love tea, and drink a lot of it, but do you add sugar to yours? That would add up to a lot of extra calories per day. Tea doesn't have much caffeine in it, well compared to coffee anyways, but i'm all for moderation and 8 cups a day is too much. However, i think 4 is…

Hi guys! I'm joining the challenge a wee bit late (only just organised interent in my new house) but i'm ready to get bikini ready with all of you :) My name's sarah and the username is pretty self-explanatory :P I'll be 20 in May, and i'm a college student living in Melbourne Australia. I've lived all over the world with…

Things like frozen spinach, brocolli, canned tomatos, canned chickpeas and tuna are all really cheap and convenient. I only buy food for 1 so i always underestimate what i need, and plan my meals in advance so no food goes to waste. This really makes a big difference. I don't think you have to shop expensive to be healthy…

Well done to everyone on the challange :) I feel a thousand times better now than i did at the beginning of the challenge. Honestly, i thought i wouldn't make it through and i was dipping into a depression. It's amazing how great diet and exercise can make you feel. I can't wait to get started with the next challenge with…

oops forgot i weighed in last night too and reported no gain, but my 1 lb gain that i reported this week is my official weigh in.

hey guys, i'm weighing in this week with a gain of 1lb :( This doesn't really surprise me though. It's that totm, and i just started the birth control pill so i'm sure that is counting for some of the gain. Last night was absolutely terrble too. I haven't had a drink for a while, and did one too many tequilla shots with…

Weighing in this final week, and reporting no loss. I'm okay with that though, because it is that totm for me, and i just started the birth control pill. So i have a feeling, nxt week will be a good one! Off to zumba, i'm a zumba virgin so i'm a bit nervous!!

I find that oatmeal by itself is not amazing, but when you add in a diced apple, some cinnamon and blueberries it becomes amazing :)

Hows everyone been going so far on the FINAL week? I just got back from spinning, and it is an exercise that i love. The feeling after is amazing, and i measured my thighs yesterday to find out that i've finally begun losing some inches there :) I've been looking to up my protein too so those suggestions are great. I'm…

I'm soooooooo in for another challenge! I was worried about what i would do without all the people here for support, and a longer challenge that can keep me accountable. Are we thinking that the 'Summer hotties' challenge will run for 3 months?? Hahaha it'll be my winter over here in Australia, but it's all good because…

originally from NZ , living in melbourne now :)

Hey guys, i'm choosing not to weigh in this week because things quickly got out of hand towards the end and i don't want to be discouraged. THe past two days for me have been the worst i've ever had since joining mfp. I'm pretty sure it was hormonal (because it's that TOTM) but wow, i went crazy and ate way too much :( I…

Eek! Not such a great day today :S 1) Over cals by 335 :S 2) I did go to the gym this morning though 3) I bought some boxing gloves so i can start having lessons too But i was quite a bit over my calories. We didn't have food in the house so i ate 2 of my 3 meals out and that didn't work out. I gave into temptation to a…

mini challenge results for sunday 1) under calories by 52 ish 2) Went to the gym today 3) Did pilates class as well on the 'reformer beds'. Was actually quite a strange experience... I think i prefer classes a bit more upbeat, but i'll try it again. I'm looking forward to next week. It'll be stressful as i have a lot of…

I'm off to the gym soon (i love it, can't believe i'd every say that) and tomorrow i have spinning :D On tuesday i have my first ever fit test and the…

Hey guys, i can finally weigh in this week! Lost a total of 3.1 pounds this week :) And although i haven’t weighed in officially for a while, i did last Friday and i had gained weight (just couldn't even write it in here i was feeling so upset), so i’m really happy with this result. Hope everyone has a great weigh in!!…
