Start taking on some responsibility yourself.... Dump the junk! Just leave it in your parents room whenever you find it in yours. One night a week - you cook for the family. Find a 'healthy' version of pizza (or whatever) that you think everyone will like (but don't tell them that it's healthy) and cook dinner. If you…

I'm definitely a fan of the vodka, lime and soda and to alternate with a plain soda water in between each alcoholic drink. The thing that I have the most trouble with on this sort of occasion is food.... Alcohol = less control over those tasty wedges with sour cream that are calling you because you went for drinks and now…

Sometimes if something is listed in 100gm amounts (or whatever), you can click on the 100gm and choose 1gm instead. Then you can enter that you had 60 servings of that 1gm portion. If all else fails - work out the calories and use the quick added calories function.

Less processed, less sugar, more water. I think the guideline is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise, so someone who eats properly and doesn't exercise will probably lose weight faster than someone who exercises a lot, but has a poor diet. It is best to have both, but if you have to choose between the two, nutrition plays a…

Me too!

:( no aldi in wa yet!

Looking to lose about 50kgs more. It seems like a lot, but I'm only 156cm tall and over 100kgs. I live in Perth and hope to be here for the time it takes to drop each and every kg!!! I have had this account some time, but only came back on last school holidays (7? weeks ago) and I think I'm doing ok so far... But happy to…

Having to be accountable to other people. If I'm having an off can't be bothered day I have to continue regardless. I know that if I don't show up to fit club, there will be texts asking me where I am. I can't cancel the pt session because I have a friend who does it with me and I don't want to let her down. I have to walk…

I should elaborate on the tip toe thing- slowly lowering myself up and down on tiptoe - even better if its on the edge of a step so you can go lower. I also used anti-inflammatries. If it makes you feel any better - the first pair of brooks trance runners I bought cost $289 here in oz. Subsequent pairs I've bought from…

I had the cortisone injection which hurt a lot and I got very little relief from. The exercises I did was balancing on my toes. Calf stretches, rolling a frozen water bottle under my foot while sitting on the lounge, rolling a tennis ball under my foot while sitting on the lounge, picking up marbles with my toes and…

I used to get headaches for one of three reasons after exercising: 1. I was not drinking enough water before, during and after the exercise. 2. My calorie intake was too low to sustain the exercise I was doing. 3. I went too hard on the treadmill, holding onto the frame, which put my posture out and caused a neck strain-…

Congratulations!

I think that sometimes others have such insecurities themselves that they can only make themselves feel better by putting others down. I would take his reaction as a compliment (though difficult to take) as he obviously feels threatened by you. The MI-Law clearly likes to control everything and everyone - thankfully your…

...and if you freeze them they last a bit longer! There are mini mars bars and mini snickers in the freezer as we speak....

bump and thank you!:flowerforyou:

Forgot some hot things.... green apple sliced with a little bit of brown sugar sprinkled over (or honey), sultanas and microwaved air popped popcorn with a little icing sugar Chai latte (Lipton - 110 cals, 3.4g fat).

Mixed diced fruit. I won't just eat an apple - I cut up a banana and a nectarine and add some (canned in juice) peach slices to sweeten it a little more, then mix it up and eat it! Or 'coz it's hot here at the moment - frozen grapes or watermelon pieces. Even pineapple (fresh or canned in juice). Maybe a smoothie? If it's…

I love regular coke and was addicted to coke zero for many years before. Too many people told me about the bad things that the coke zero was doing to my body and told me to drink regular coke instead. I think coke zero is considered to be cancer causing (like most things!), but realistically they would have removed it from…

I have about 55kgs to lose, but it took me awhile to gain them, so it'll take awhile to lose them. I'm here for a long while! Feel free to add as a friend, as I think I'm going to need some!

Perth girl - feel free to add. Lots to lose, so here for the long haul!

Don't give up now! Use your experience to learn from it! Try something different tomorrow from what you learnt today. The lessons we learn the best are those that we learn from mistakes.

I was very addicted to Coke. First diet coke then coke zero, then a friend scared me enough about the contents of the diet coke to go to regular coke. OMG I had it bad. I struggled to wean myself off it. One of the steps I took was to buy sparkling mineral water and to put a fresh cut slice of lime in the bottom of the…

I get them the same way. My eating (and drinking) beforehand were pretty bad though - I put the increase in headaches down to withdrawal. I used to drink lots of Coke and so I think I experienced caffeine and sugar withdrawals which caused the increased headaches. I had them for the first three days and now (at day 12)…

I have a notepad stuck on the fridge with a pen sitting on top of the fridge......

Thank you - I wanted to make sure I'm not sabotaging myself inadvertently, but I do have a habit of trying to do everything at once and it being too overwhelming and unsustainable (and then off the wagon I fall...), but it's good to know that other people are in the same situation and are still continuing to lose weight.…

I lived in a different state to my parents, so only saw them a couple of times a year. One year, on arrival, mum said (before even "hello") "Oh! You've gotten as round as you are high!" Thanks mum, love you too, missed you a lot..... Hate to hear what she thinks now as I've probably put on 100 more lbs since then! (but am…

I had the same problem, but solved it by putting my hair in a pony tail - when you get to the last time of putting the hair elastic around the pony tail - don't pull the pony tail all the way through - leave it caught half way through (if that makes sense). This loosens the actual pony tail (and the drag on your head), but…

I would try eating something protein based. Some lean meat, tuna in springwater, dare I say it, full fat dairy.....Protein normally works for me.

Although on holidays at the moment, I do have trouble both with drinking water during school and getting to eat luch....then by the time 4pm rolls around I'm ravenous and will eat anything and everything in sight! That's part of my problem. I joined this month to try and get some good habits in place before school starts…
