yes i am always over as i have milk and fruit. I figure though they are all healthy sugars so just ignore it. And i avoid processed foods especially those with white sugar in it as much as possible.

That kind of thing happened to me in the beginning too. Count it as a loss. Expect you may put a little bit of it back on though if you happen to have a saltier meal or something before a weigh-in - so don't get discouraged. But a loss is a loss, even if is water!

i'm a bit scared of level 2. Will be starting it in 2 days.

That must have really hurt. At least you know your partner is honest, which i know isn't much consolation. He is probably meaning best to be saying it. You are on this site, so obviously you want to do something about your weight and your health. And yes you have the difficulty of being on medication. On the upside…

Yeah me too. Why not make it part of the Australian group that has just been set up on here?

Hey me too! Which school did you go to? I went to Camp Hill for primary.

Grew up in Carina Heights, Brisbane (near the carindale shopping centre), also lived for a bit in Annerley and Toowong.

Roxby Downs, South Australia.

i have to take my lunch to work every day as there is nowhere to buy food. A lot of the time i take dinner left overs - sometimes made up as a salad instead. Eg today i've got roast lamb chopped up into little bits with roast veggies. I tossed it through some lettuce and hey presto a salad! So actually i always try and…

Because of the heat not here i can't exercise here until it gets dark which is quite late (even in doors with the air con on!). But i am STARVING after work. So a few times i've eating a full dinner before doing my 30DS. It didn't feel great, but weirdly i found i burnt more calories than if i had eaten afterwards. I tried…

There a lot of people who swear by the benefits of apple cider vinegar. This does regain some nutrients that other vinegars don't have. Just use it has your salad dressing. I found it to be a good cough suppressant too when i had bronchitis. Just put a tbs in a small about of water with a bit of honey. Keep a bottle of it…

Hi, It is difficult to know for sure without knowing exactly what you may have been eating before and not being able to see your diary now. but i wouldn't be worried about it. stick with it. So long as you don't get tempted to eat less than 1200 calories. My guess is your diet was probably terrible before you started this…

can you hide the watch in your pocket or something (or down your bra?). I can't wear my watch at volleyball as it would get in the way so it loop it onto my belt loop while i play.

I know what you mean

Hi, You can take this advice if you want to. But i think from your previous responses you already made your mind up and were looking for validation that you made the right decision. I personally don't think though that sending that letter is the right thing to do. Your job is to be her daughter who loves and cares for her…

The food you are eating is good. But you need to eat a bit more. Most days you were under 1200. And you don't want to go into starvation mode and/or be lethargic. Add some more nuts or something if you are not feeling like eating more. That are high in goodness and in calories so it is easy to get to what you need.

i'm curious of answers too. bump

sounds like it might be shin splints. Go to a physio if you can. You don't want to make it worse and screw up future exercise.

I really don't' think i should be eating more as i am usually a few calories over my goal (depending on what exercise i get to do after work). As far as quitting processed foods, i don't eat anything like that any more and haven't for some time. I avoid all bread, refined sugars etc. Today's lunch was a small piece of…

Count me in!

Just make sure it is a whey isolate (unless you are allergic to milk or a vegan). Avoid protein concentrates and avoid soy concentrates or isolates. Too much soy bad unless it is fermented as it mimics oestrogen. Concentrates have other things in them rather than just protein. I use a brand now called 'Professional Whey'…

make your own in a food processor. It's really easy, you just blend nuts. Can add a bit of olive oil or something too if they are too dry. But it is a good way of making a healthier version with no salt or sugar etc.

i have also been a nail biter too and experienced similar things. Get yourself some lovely nail polish or a manicure to celebrate! I gave myself french nails when mine were long as they were something i'd always wanted since i was a little girl but couldn't do since i never had any white bits to paint! I do occasionally…

you'd have to make it before your workout and put it in a thermos to take to work. otherwise i guess you could just make an omlet or scrambled eggs in your microwave. Green smoothies would be so much better though :)

green smoothies with protein powder in them. They are the best! (heaps of recipes online too)

tinned salmon doesn't last all that long in my house. So yummy. And so good for you too with all those omega 3s...

Things i make with canned salmon: - a breakfast favourite of mine is canned salmon (drained) on wholegrain toast spread with pesto with a bit of fetta cheese crumbled onto. -Salmon sushi rolls or japanese rice balls. Use with salad ingredients if making rolls. If making balls just spread a square of sushi rice (preferably…

I just had a look at your diary, looks like you are starving yourself! Eat more (real food if you can like salads, fruit etc) and you'll probably loose weight. Looks like you are often skipping breakfast too which is bad. Never miss breakfast (and rice biscuits don't count). Maybe try making some smoothies. They are so…
