I love some philly or laughing cow cheese. Also, most amazing thing ever is caramel rice cakes (Sunrice brand) - they taste like sweet popcorn and don't need a topping (although you can still put stuff on there :) ). They also come in Apple cinnamon and honey flavours.

Wow, you look amazing! You're absolutely glowing :) Great job!

There is a difference between an opinion and actual science. Science shows that men have very different hormone levels in their body compared to women. Hormones play a huge role in making men look like men, and women like women. Unless you work hard to overcome these factors and others (as a woman), you're simply not going…

Aussie Aussie Aussie! :) I'm around 163cm tall and currently 76-77kg, started off at 94kg. I'm thinking around 63kg will be a good goal to shoot for, but it's all just a matter of working it out as I go along :)

My mum sews darts into my pants for me, in the back waistband. She puts two either side of middle and it nips it in. It can actually look nice too if it’s done carefully and measured properly so everything is even :)

I was in a similar boat to you when I joined my gym in December 2010. I had a gym membership before but rarely used it. For me it was more so that I wasn't really that interested in going, just my parents decided to get a family membership so it wasn't really my decision. When I decided to join in December 2010, I had been…

That's odd, my doctor has never mentioned anything about injecting myself. I have to have them every 2-3 months (although 3 months is a bit of stretch) for the rest of my life.I have pernicious anaemia, although the tests weren't conclusive, my doctor is sure thats what it is. Basically, the cells in my stomach that are…

The way I do it, based on what lots of other people have said, is on a day with no exercise, I eat 1200 calories. If I workout and burn 300 calories, I eat 1500. The extra calories I eat are usually worked into my diet in the form of a pre workout snack and a post work out shake/snack (although you can put them wherever…

I personally LOVE BodyStep, BodyPump and BodyBalance. They are the three classes I do every single week, sometimes doubling up (depending on my uni / work timetable). I still do weights/running on other days, but the classes are my absolute favourite thing :) You could always try a spin class too? I think Les Mills does…

I joined my gym just before Christmas 2010 and I love it! I was feeling really nervous and apprehensive about not knowing what to do and looking silly, but that feeling disappeared very fast when I got into it. I used to watch other people to work out how to get some of the machines started, etc. I started off just in the…

and in Australia too. Never heard of 'thick' being used to describe body shapes until MFP came along! :)

I've had fish on/off since I was young, but for the last 2 years I've been trying to be a better fishkeeper and learn as much as I can :) I'm a bit of a fish nut, always wanting to learn that bit more and see different fish species. I'm pretty much religious with my weekly water changes and have pretty good success with my…

Ooooh yum, bump!

I love cardiotrainer :) It seems to be quite accurate and consistent with the gps readings. I don't use it for the voice directions though, I just use it to see how far I went and roughly how fast.

Optimum Nutrition 100% gold standard whey is my shake of choice :) I had it recommended to me and I"m so happy with it. 120 calories per 30 gram scoop, has 24 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat and 3 gram of carbs. It tastes really awesome too, so much better than I was expecting! I have the chocolate and it actually tastes…

Ooooooh yum, bumping for later :)

bump bump bump!

It makes me sad to hear so many people have been insulted by those that should support them - family and partners :cry: I have struggled with my weight since I was about 9 and just started going through puberty (yes, ridiculously early, I know). My sister has had the same troubles. My mother's way of 'helping' and…

I seem to store fat next to my knees, can't wait for that to go!

I actually prefer the android app when it comes to tracking food/exercise, it just seems easier.

Thanks everyone for your input :happy: I'm gonna keep mine disconnected majority of the time, unless I know I won't be using it for a couple of days. I will probably use it most days anyway, so I guess it wouldn't make that much of a difference if I left it on.

I'm in my 3rd year of Uni this year :) Doing a double degree, Arts and Science. My majors are psychology and biology. I started this new lifestyle just after exams last year, roughly 3 months ago. I'm kinda scared as to how it will go once uni starts. Being a student is my first priority - everything else comes second.…

Thanks for your help :smile: I was following a similar format up until this week, weights on Monday, Wednesday, Friday then cardio on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday OR Sunday. The pump class with the most suitable time is on a Tuesday though, and I usually work on weekends and don't always have time to go to the gym on the…

Thank you for the advice and for the welcome :) I understand to leave 48 hours between my weight training, as I do a full-body workout. The irk moreso is that it was 78+ hours after pump that the soreness started to go away enough for me to weight train again. Does that sound wrong? I like to push myself, but I don't want…
