This site http://www.mydr.com.au/tools/calories-burned-calculator tells me that 30 mins VIGOUROUS activity burns 63 cals. Watching TV for 30 mins burns 42 cals ..... hmmm .. don't think those 40cals per hour are worth it LOL

85 cals .. gee it's not worth getting dirty for! I mean ... 10 mins is worth 28cals ... I get double that playing with the dog for 10 mins! Now if you want to burn off a chocolate bar watch a scary movie http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/9638876/Watching-horror-films-burns-nearly-200-calories-a-time.html

Congratulations on your success ... keep on keeping on!

I"m a teacher as well .. and my favourite "out of the mouths of babes" comment was this: Kid: Miss L ... you're rich Me: Why do you say that? Kid: Fat people are always rich I am going to a new school in 2 weeks ... I know the first judgements are going to be about my weight ... so I'm going to just grow some skin for a…

Fitness DVD's are really good to pack. I have this mini DVD player (like you have for the car) .. but I plug that into the TV if they don't have a DVD player. I've been known to take my Wii Console & some non board games. Also good for travelling are the resistance bands. Don't forget to pack some runners cause you can…

If work's paying for all your meals then see if the hotel can provide you with a sandwich or something similar to take with you. If they can't do that try ordering room service for breakfast and specify "bread not toast" with poached eggs, cereal & yoghurt & fruit. I've done this ... eaten the cereal and made myself a…

Sanvanhaaften Ooh thanks .. that's what people usually think .. but it's higher! :)

I know what you mean ... I love the way my fat pumps out my wrinkles. I always start to look my age when I lose weight. And how many times do people start telling you you look sick ... or ask if you're tired?

Homemade labneh ... if I make it with plain non fat yoghurt (and salt) I usually eat with veggie sticks. Sometimes I make it with sweet non fat yoghurt and eat it with thin apple slices.

I've been told it's "generally" the equivalent of what they have to spend for you on the reception. BBQ= about $40 Cocktails = $60-80 Standard Reception = $80-$120 Posh Reception = $150 - $200 Obviously doubled for couples ..... and a friend told me once add $5 for every year you've known them. If you've had a best friend…

Did you check the weight graph on the wii to see if it's changed as well? Perhaps it's time to change the batteries in the balance board. As much as my wii fluctuates, I've been weighing myself on the bathroom scales as well .. and they both fluctuate at the same rate, so I do think I can rely on the wii, even if I don't…

Oh ... I'm the bride from the wedding song ... "Here comes the bride, big fat and wide ... " LOL I want to lose 2 dress sizes by the time of the wedding in September (more would be great, but I'm trying to be more realistic than killing myself over it). Worse thing is my sister has started on a health kick at the same time…

Mind you, I worked with a girl who ate in her car as well. Told everyone her diet secrets were salads and small dinners. Turns out she'd secretly had gastrict banding and all she was eating for lunch was a party pie. NOW THAT"S MISERY lol
-
Tell her dancing is exercise and that the two of you are going out to CELEBRATE her amazing body. Give her some notice and let her chose a place to eat (even if it is her car!) She's probably been so focused that she's forgot what a good time can be. Like a bite of chocolate .. she might just need a taste to put her on the…

Not the woman above me .. but the guy above looks a bit of alright :D If he's got a wicked sense of humour .. then I'm sold. LOL

I'm a 46 year old Newbie too! I'm on holidays and been doing well but know I'm pretty much a lounge lizard (especially since we just had a HIGHEST TEMPERATURE EVER RECORDED IN SYDNEY today. Can't wait to go back to work, as a teacher, I know I'll be run off my feet .. and most days I'll walk to and from work (this is a new…

I don't necessarily agree these are foods we should NEVER EAT OR DRINK ... but how many of us have actually limited these on our weight loss journyes? We all have our own opinions, but it's "FOOD FOR THOUGHT" to read other people's opinions. MFP recommends a very tiny amount of sugar. Drinking one concentrated juice would…
-
I so want some icecream but I keep looking at the sugars on my graphs and they're always about 80g ... most of it in fruit and milk :( BUT fries ... they don't have sugar do they? Maybe I can start craving those!! My fat graphs are always in credit LOL
-
What about sushi rolls ... or chicken & veggie rice rolls? You might even want to mix it up a bit and sometimes take in some hommus & chopped up veggies with something like a boiled egg. What about something a bit different like dolmades. Here's a site with 10 lunch recipes for under 300cals…

I'm glad I'm going somewhere new to work in 2 weeks ... I'll take my new eating habits with me and people will probably be more like "Oh my .. you're eating a biscuit?" when i do break out!! haa Worst "healthy eating" I've known in the office was the woman who snacked on a whole iceburg lettuce all day (for months) ... oh…

Are you synching it with the game? If I press the board button before I start my game it goes black .. but is fine once the game prompts me to press the button. I did have a nightmare when I first got the board getting everything to synch, but I think it was because I was too impatient to read the instructions!! LOL
-
I used mine a few years ago and lost a fair bit of weight with that as my main exercise. I did think of getting it out again as I don't ALWAYS want to go to the pool. I agree with the free step on the balance board and the free running activities. I'm definitely NOT a runner but I did enjoy the jogging around the room and…

Just finished my 2nd week on LnE ... enjoying it very much. It's hard to think that it's a diet when I'm getting so much food, variety and not hungry. I agree about wanting more salads, but I decided to go on the 1200c program (less bread on that!) and add some extra calories with salad veggies with my lunch and a skim…

Working as many hours as you are the problem is possibly lack of activity ... I've pretty much lost 4kg over the last month and apart from eating a little less cereal (but adding an extra piece of fruit) I've done it by increasing my workouts from a slack effort on Saturday mornings to AT LEAST 40 mins a day and doing…
