Did you take measurements when you started? If not, take them. Sometimes the scales don't show any loss but measurements can...also judge on how tight your clothes are. Don't let numbers on the scale throw you.

Yeah, I've been skipping the twisting bits with Zumba. Thank you...swimming sounds good.

I just send my kids out to the backyard while I workout. Usually its not for as long as Id like but its enough to make me feel like I've done something at least.

Not really with the ethnic food, although I do fancy a damn nice curry! All your changes look good but remember not to put too much pressure on yourself! I eat brown rice with curry, cause at least its got more fibre in it, but i make sure i measure out 1 cup only ......Ive also been eating quinoa for a while which is good…

Part of the "relaxing" feeling you get with smoking is because of the deep breathing. I found doing yoga and drinking green tea when I first came off ciggies to be a huge help. Definitely expect the urge to creep up on you unexpectedly :) but if you can go for five minutes ya usualky end up forgetting about it. I also used…

If he knows what he's talking about then why not follow his advice?

Yes. There are no "zero" calorie foods...pickles and hot sauce may only be small calories, but if you eat enough of them they add up. All vegetables and fruits have kcal amount, even if its only 5.

I can do a 180º jump on my roller skates :) and I just found out the other day I can roll my legs up over my body and head til my toes touch the ground behind my head (starting from a lying down position)...dont know what its called but I was pretty stoked with both of those!

You're fine doll.my scale hasnt moved since November...still tryna figure out what to do.. I would probably up your cals a little tho

Are all the sarcastic caustic comments from non religious people necessary? Theres a thousand other threads to comment on.... it doesnt have to be here if you're only interested in being a douche, just dont comment! Trolls.

Going to stop swearing..... or at least try my darndest too every day. Its not something I should do, it happens frequently and it'll make life more pleasant for others around me and myself. Not exactly a sacrifice as such, but definitely a willpower struggle to overpower my subconscious spewing of rubbish words.

Who does that?! And why oh why is it suddenly ok to make bridesmaids fork out for dresses theyre never gunna wear again? ..sorry, but you sister is a jerk for doing that. Once again glad I only have sister in laws. Make her take it back and change it. Does she want the dress in the wedding, or does she want you?

I really like sadienardini for yoga. Fitnessblender have heaps of variety too. Theres also blogilates but I cant say ive tried many of hers..

Dont worry, it happens, you'll get stronger and have way more endurance as you go along :smile:

Took me 6 months after a miscarraige to conceive my second child, a son, and that was using a bbt thermometer for the last three months. When he was three months old I conceived my third child. It happens when it happens, generally when you stop stressing about it....

Maybe just circuit training for the whole lot if there is a mix of strength and cardio? If its mostly strength then use strength training.

You could try adding in ab workouts to help strengthen your core, build muscle which will help with the fat loss. Www. Fitnessblender.com has great quick workouts for strength training and you dont necessarily need equipment..... but no, ya cant spot reduce, wish we could, cause id already ve done lol

At first my goal was 65 kg, then 60... but once I got to 63 and realised I coukd actually do it, I lowered it to 58. If im happy with how I look at 61, 60 or 59, the ill stop. If I get to 58 and im not, ill go down to 55, but I dont imagine id go any lower. (Yes I have a small frame....only I didnt realise that til…

Wow. Give yourself a break, try your best to stay on your calorie goal for the day, if you dont, its no big deal. Do not beat yourself up, this change has to be sustainable and at some points in your life you're going to end up eating out, just make the healthiest choice you can.its definitely ok to do it every so often...…

*sigh* .....this sounds pretty spot on to me....especially the goats :laugh:

Just about every photo with me neck down in, im unhappy with. Itll be interesting now when I see candid photos whether I like them or not. I had a lovely moment of walking out of a restaurants toilets and looking straight into a full length mirror.....first time iveever been happy with my figure! You're doing so well, how…

Gradually increase your cals by 100-150 a week, starting at 1200. You will probably need to eat at 1750 for a while (6-8weeks) to get your metabolism up and going again. How much weight do you want to lose? Eat nutrient dense food, lentils, nuts, nut butters, olive oils, brown rice, avocado to get your cals up if you are…

*facepalm* dont eat food thats processed to be full of air..... nutrient dense food. Multigrains/brown/linseed bread, lentils, quinoa, brown rice and let me make it clear VEGETABLES! 1 cup of some veges is like 50 cals...thats what will full you up. Good luck....ditch the krispies.

I replied earlier but for some reason its missing? Youre doing fine. 1500 cals is a good goal.... not gunna write my whole answer out again, but im in timaru ifbyou would like to add me. Ahah I see, posted in two forums, now I know why my reply isnt here :laugh:

Only so I dont miss my mouth and poke myself in the eye .....

Looks like pretty good choices to me, I think you're doing fine. I really like delmaine lentils atm for lunch, you can buy a can of 2 serves, I chuck some watties canned chicken in as well, if you can make a sauce or pick a flavoured can of chicken it tastes quite good. I also get quinoa from the bulk bins, a serve is half…

I've lost 24 lbs and only noticed this week, when I rubbed my face, my hand felt awfully big against it. Bones are more prominent now.

Thanks for your story, well done on your achievements!

I think I love you :happy: :laugh:

Wow, insecure much, jelly much n spiteful much? Those people have no business telling you about your body. Next time, reply louder, when they're all offended you get to say "oh, did that bother you? I didnt realise its ok to hate on my body choices and not yours...how awkward" and walk off. *****y yes but to the meanest of…
