Vodka, coconut and pineapple juice

My daughter at around the age of 6 asked me if I was wearing a thong because my bottom was too big for normal underwear!!! My husband was nice enough to leave the room before being consumed by fits of laughter.

Hi there and welcome! I am another Aussie and I think there are plenty to share your journey with. Sounds like you are in a remote part of our country and the support you will get from MFP will be great. Best of luck

Yum! I make something very similar, but use coconut water and kiwi fruit instead of an apple.

I have been teaching for 21 years and still remember how hard it was at the beginning. I think the key to having a good work/life balance is being organised. Teaching is stressful at times - exercise is great for stress. I plan my (and my families) eating ahead and purchase everything I need for the week. I have a set…

Good on you...you will see a huge difference. It has only been the last few kilos where I have seen a huge difference. In my profile pic I was 10 kg heavier than my other pic. Good luck...you should be excited!

I started the 5:2 plan about three months ago. I have had success with this and have lost 10kg...weight that previously seemed impossible to shift. I love my fast days and have about 300 cals at breakfast and only 200 calories at dinner. I have around 1300 calories on the other days. I feel fantastic and don't find the…

Awesome...we'll done. I have only just started running too. I started by doing intervals like you have and gradually ran for longer amounts of time.

We worked from 4am until 2pm to beat the worst of the heat (40 + degrees Celsius). We would have been walking at least 15km a day. It was ok money, I was on my…

I agree, it is about making time to exercise. Balancing a family, full time work, netball, hockey, gym and canoeing is tricky but it's about being committed and organised. I plan ALL meals for the week and then shop specifically for those items. It saves time and money and I escape that never ending question of "what's for…

Green smoothie...coconut water, kale, baby spinach, cucumber, kiwi fruit, celery and ginger! It's around 150 calories and great to have with breakfast.

A dog ( I have 2) WYR go sky diving or bungee jumping?

1. It's all about the food...eat more natural, unprocessed foods, making sure you are meeting daily requirements to have a healthy body. Plan your eating at the start of the week...buy what you need so you are prepared. Do some research on super foods and how good they are for you. Cut out sugary, high GI foods. 2. Drink…

I am a 42 year old Aussie girl, so I had to convert kilograms to pounds. I have just weighed in at 124lb...the smallest I have ever been! I have also been doing weight training to tone up. I have lost my boobs and booty, but love how I look and feel.
