3rd time lucky :)

I love how you write & the confidence you convey in yourself through it. :) You have a great attitude.

Every time I see your pic (as it pops up on a few threads i read) I think you just look radiant/glowing/healthy :) Something to motivate me & to strive for!

*Bump* - Still unsure when 'busy time' is on here - as most people seem to be from the states :)

In like Flynn!

Cause it isn't a selfie - and I actually allowed someone to take a photo of me - and - I dont have a screwed up face in it.... Clearly, it was the only option.

I kind of hope so - I am enjoying it... Im a little OCD :P

1.9kg gain here... oops.

Could you have some nuts at breakfast too - Or make it with a yoghurt instead of milk to give you a bit more protein? Its also super quick and easy to pop in a lettuce leaf, and some cherry tomatoes into a sandwich (doesnt even require a knife!) snow peas / alfalfa are also good 'no chop' options to upp the salad/veg…

*grin* I am starting both of these in unison too! I grabbed active wear pants & sports bra today - as i am NOT doing this in jeans, or track suit pants in 45 degree weather! And i took some time out to watch the first level of the 30 day shred this morning too... I find watching it before attempting it the first time, sees…

I think the best thing you can do is research everything you are told to find out WHY it is good/bad - dont ever accept a blanket statement, whoever it comes from.

To get off PCOS/Thyroid meds - fluid meds & use my diet to control these things & feel healthy enough to return to work. Also - to lose weight with my new way of eating (until now it has been about finding a balance of eating that helps my conditions and makes me feel human again!) I dont have a number for the year - just…

Calories :P

nope

Hi Amanda, at 5ft2.5 i got to my heaviest of 317lb (143.8kg) last year... Its hard and depressing - but that you want to change is fantastic ... have you been to a dr to get hormonal type issues checked? PCOS / Thyroid / Insulin resistance / Diabetes?

Im 28 and have PCOS also (thyroid and heart problems to boot!) Firstly - what is working for everyone may NOT work for you - PCOS makes it a little different - learn about it - learn what is happening to your insides - what foods affect it & what foods can help it -DONT take your drs word (or them telling you to take the…

Honestly - I just read this and went "I could really use a glass of water" - but - Considering i had christmas lindt balls about 2 hours ago - I think that took care of my sweets craving :) - Off to grab a glass of water

I will be losing weight this year! In 2012 i lost approx 30kg... (medically supervised VLCD 800ish cals/day for most of the year) - in 2013 after doing much research was horrified what such a long low deficit does to your body and managed to lose another 5ish while learning about real food and real nutrition & what i need…

I also use to have man boobs >.< :S

Aww! thanks! :) At 28 - Ill totally take that!

Starvation mode may have already kicked in... Your body is very in tune with you... It probably senses you are contemplating a serious calorie defecit... Eat them... with haste!

Hi, I'm 28 & Aussie - lots to lose - but more importantly, I just want to be healthy - the rest will follow :) On regularly - and enjoy giving support, the camaraderie the site offers & honestly - I find just to be engaged helps you be accountable :) Anyone can add me, but, please pop in a message - I still find that whole…

Personally, unless you have been advised to eat this way for other health reasons ( I say as someone who has in the past, but no longer does) - I think it is best to try to find a way of eating that allows you to have everything in moderation.

@Flaxmilk - I should also say - once frozen, tip out of icecube trays and into ziplock bags - or an airtight container - Dont want frost burn :)
