What about if you're not using the app? ( I am assuming this means a smart phone/tablet thingy) I only use the online version. I've lost more than 10lbs and I've not been asked yet to change.

The goal that MFP gives you is your goal/target to reach. I assume when you signed up you were asked to enter details and settings? Including height, weight, age and how much you want to lose per week? That 1200 calories you've been allocated is your goal. You want to be eating as close to that number as you can. When you…

Oops! I just realised I headed this topic with the "wrong" date format - at least for those of you in the US! And the entire time I was writing the topic, I kept telling myself to watch how I wrote the date. I've never understood why you won't follow the date format the rest of the world uses! :laugh: :flowerforyou: No…

I lived in T-Bar while at uni and had housemates from Kingaroy, Nanango, Blackbutt, Wondai... etc. As well as other random places around Qld! I'm now in Brisbane.

Tick another one for the recipe builder! I weigh each ingredient before cooking, and then I weigh the final cooked amount. As I'm metric, I find it easiest to break something into '100g serving sizes'. Eg, the last pasta & sauce onepot I made ended up as 3340 grams, so I made each serving 100g and weigh the food out when…

What you eat in private, shows in public

Hmmm.... when I was in primary school, playground conversations enlightened me that 'dude' was the name for a camel's d*ck.

What a fantastic story! Wow! Congratulations! :) Keep going with what you're doing, because it's obviously working :bigsmile:

I know it's hard to convey tone on the internet, but I have to admit, I read your post in a judgemental tone. Maybe he just doesn't want to eat them? Perhaps they're a trigger food and will cause over indulgence and he still hasn't learnt portion control/resistance with those foods yet? I know I'm still learning that I…

SunnyDuckling SW: 104.6kg (230.6 lbs) LW: 102.8kg (226.6 lbs) CW: 102.9kg (226.85 lbs) No real loss, but I guess good news is I didn't gain much. Was back at work last week and not as prepared with meals as I should be, and went the convenience route. But I cooked up in bulk on the weekend so I should be better this week…

Lol, I have a list of nearly 200 diet and exercise quotes. Some of my favourites are: • If hunger is not the problem, then eating is not the solution • Exercise is hard by the yard, but an inch is a cinch • The best exercise for losing weight? Exercising a little self control • Exercise is the penalty for living beyond…

I just checked the spreadsheet and I am in the purple team - whoop! :smile: I'm going to look into the daily challenges, but I don't know how that's going to go with timezones... shame on you all being so far behind that you are yesterday! :laugh: . I guess I can do the daily challenge, on the date listed, I'll just be…

I'm in 'Straya, mate Translation: Australia - Brisbane to be exact where yes, it is raining right now. @dlpau - According to BOM, you guys got 55mm in 1 hour: Whoa! - how's Dent St doing? (Street next to Grand Central)

I bulk cook 1 or 2 foods on a Sunday and portion everything up and freeze it. This can be stuff like soups, lasagne (I don't make this from scratch - I just cook the premade frozen ones and split it into the portions listed on the nutrition panel), stirfry, slowcook meals, fried rice, chicken kiev (again, pre-made),…

I doubt it's mercury poisoning. My guess is that it is more likely due to sweat build-up, or even skin cell buildup. How often do you clean the monitor or the strap?

I can't recommend any shoes, but as someone else who's had a meniscus operation (lucky for me it was only a partial tear and removal), I can recommend you look up and practice good running form/technique. You do not want to aggravate the knee any further. Have you finished with all your physical therapy? Maybe you could…

Lovely!! Can't wait to find out which team I'm in :D

:love: Aren't you just a cutie?! :heart: That SMILE! :bigsmile: You look fantastic! Congrats on your loss and your super attitude and stick-to-it-ness! I plan to get to where you are at one point in the future, and I hope I look as good as you do, or have the guts to post photos like yours. You rock your new look! :drinker:

I was thinking this!! If this is the sort of planking you mean, then I can can do this for eight hours - nightly! :laugh: But the exercise plank? I think I can get to 30 seconds... *shuffles off to check* ... Nope! Only 23 seconds. Oh well, I guess I can keep working on that :D

5'8 Long term goal is to get back to 65-68kg (143 - 150 lbs). That was at my best and healthiest throughout Uni. No idea what 'frame' I have though. Long legs, pear shape?

NSV - Non-Scale Victory. Because getting healthier doesn't always need to be about the number on the scale. :wink:

I was exactly the same way as your daughter OP! Tall for my age, always heavy with a big belly. It was the jeans story that really twigged for me. EXACTLY the same, couldn't wear jeans that fit both my belly and my legs. :( I was always the tallest in the class, every year and it was about age 7 that I started to grow out…

A bit late, but I only just found this group. Another Aussie here (hi Emily!), so I'll be using metric measurements that I'll need to convert to pounds for y'all (Did I say that right? Y'all? Yawl? Hmm....) I'm around 40kgs overweight (89 lbs) and it sucks! So over it. I only just decided this morning that I was going to…

Starting Weight & Current weight is the same as I only just discovered this group. Monday 20 January: 104.9kg = 231.26 lbs NSV: Got up at 5.30 this morning to go for a 3km walk. (1.875 mi)

I really hope it's not too late to join, I only just found this group! *bites lip* Mondays are my weekly weigh-ins anyhow, so this works for me. AND the Biggest Loser Australia 2014 just started this weekend - so it's timely! :bigsmile: Monday 20 January Starting weight : 104.9kg [] 231.26 lbs Height : 173cm [] 5'8.5"

As someone who's 5'8" (so not too much taller) 127 is already light enough. Work on strength and muscle if you are visualising that you are 'fat'. I don't think you are though. Don't get trapped into a 'fat-because-I-compare-myself-to-my-friends' mindset. You'll only end up resenting them and yourself. :frown: BTW I…
