It's really personal preference and I don't think it'll make much difference at all... But I track ice cubes haha my diary makes more sense to friends reading it if I track that way :bigsmile:

It does become routine. If you find something you enjoy you'll really start looking forward to it. I have recently started doing the leslie sansone walking videos on YouTube, and I love them! I'm at work right now and am actually looking forward to getting home so I can do one! I don't normally feel that way about exercise…

Haha when I was younger I thought I'd have to shop for fancy heels or boots in drag stores. Thank god times have changed and some bigger shops stock up to an 11AUS...

I'm 6ft, neither apple of pear shaped, more like the whole fridge (it IS improving!). Problem areas are easily covered when I can find pants that are long enough. Don't get me started on big feet! But... I suppose I'd look ridiculous if I had small feet carrying my tall, broad shouldered frame :bigsmile:

Yup. I have a few friends on here, maybe more like acquaintances.... I like the little comments on my auto updates. 99% of the time conversation is goal/weight loss/fitness related.

No. You. Don't. Well, at at least that was my initial response to this thread.... But the others are right - everything in moderation, even better if you've got the calories. If you don't, how about freeing some out before you indulge. On a side note, Candi_land, is that Richard Simmons in your tracker? That makes my day…

Welcome back! Many of us are here for the second (3rd, 4th...) time. But it works! No rocket science here... Good luck!

I adopted an English staffordshire bull terrier, would definitely, without question, adopted the same again. Such a loyal, easy to train breed. She is an absolute delight!

:laugh: And.... :laugh: Thanks for sharing, reminds me of my slow cooking disasters...

Exactly! Welcome back! :bigsmile:

Hahaha... Sure.... :wink: Regardless, accepted :bigsmile:

Did you?! Looks like I didn't make the cut.... Gutted :grumble:

Feel free to add me. I'm not only a fair weather friend :) Good on you for making positive changes when circumstances are at there hardest.

Welcome :bigsmile: Feel free to add me (... meaningful lol). I've been on MFP since feb. Its a great site/tool to help make positive lifestyle changes! Good luck!

You are doing well...! What a couple of ****s.... Don't let anyone dictate how you feel about yourself!

Gorgeous! Congratulations!!

Request sent! I'm also accepting requests, if anyone is interested in adding a friend who's quite active on MFP, drop me a line... :bigsmile:

It is inspiring for me to see the transformations. That's pretty much where it stops for me. I'm sure we would all have dramatic losses if we spent most our time in the gym every day.

Ditto! I'm also accepting friend requests - am constantly on mfp :bigsmile:

I'm also in Victoria :) sending a request...

It's definitely doable! Eating well isn't expensive if you do your research. There are plenty of recipes that are both budget and calorie friendly. Once you're in a routine, add in some exercise - just walk to start.... The pounds will start coming off and that will be yur motivation. MFP is a wonderful resource! Feel free…

I like it... It makes me realise My goals are achievable and that I will get there by doing what I'm doing! :bigsmile:

Wow... The response has been overwhelming..... :laugh:

Ditto... Well... 20 something, but not for long...

Thanks! I'll look into it :smile: I know, that's the bit I'm worried about lol

Thanks! I'll look into it :smile: I know, that's the bit I'm worried about lol

Melbourne here, feel free to add me :)

Indeed. And strong thighs are hot. On anyone!

Food is not a friend, it's not a comforter, it's not an enemy or even an acquaintance lol Food is fuel to keep our bodies functioning. That's it. Doesn't mean we can't enjoy it! Put in what you want to get out. It's taken me a long time to get my head around this.... That family size block of chocolate that I thought was…

I wouldn't count it.... Choosing active in your goals settings should be enough.
