that's awesome! have fun shopping for some better fitting jeans!

as others have said, check that your form is ok. also recommend doing a youtube search for yoga for lower back pain, there is some good stuff.

Does NSV stand for what? non-scale victory?

Remember it's only a 20 minute workout- you won't lose weight unless you're really spot on with your nutrition and/or doing additional exercise. I've been doing shred + 15 mins moderate-high intensity cardio + 20 mins walking every weekday and I'm happy with my weight loss results so far (did first day of level 3 today).

congratulations! day 20 for me tomorrow.

I've said it before... the biggest thing that helps stop me from eating things I know I "shouldn't": instead of telling yourself you can't eat it, tell yourself that if you CAN eat it- if you still want it in 15 minutes time. Get your phone out & set a timer to go off in 15 minutes. Usually when I do this, I get busy doing…

do a search, there's heaps of threads on this already.

My suggestions-based on what is working for me: 1. Plan 75% of your daily intake in advance, split between 3 meals. e.g. if MFP tells you 1200 cals/day, plan 300 cal meals for each of breakfast, lunch & dinner. Make sure every meal includes protein. 2. Whenever you want to eat something outside your meals(whether it's…

hot!

Well I'm no psychologist but from personal experience, counting calories actually HELPS me to stay stable and sane and feel better about myself in general. Self control equals self respect.

Great effort, you're an inspiration! Thanks for posting.

I think the idea is that the amount of calories they give you is your "net calories"- so that if you "eat back" your exercise calories you should hit your goal weight in the timeframe you specified. Or you can choose not to eat back your exercise calories, and hit your goal weight faster. Keep in mind that it's not an…

I'm in sydney.

You look absolutely stunning! How did you do it?

just do the first five minutes of it, if you really still don't want to do it after that then stop...

wow amazing. not just the weight loss- you look about 20 years younger as well!

I know you said not skinny cow, but they do make nice ice cream biscuit cake things and sundaes in a tub, 120-150cal I think.

I struggled with this for years but I think I've finally cracked it (!!!) Here's what's working for me- I find that whenever I tell myself I can't eat something (eg chocolate, pasta, other junk food or even more calories than I think I should be eating)- that actually makes me want it more! So instead of telling myself I…

great work, you look fantastic!

" I eat 1800 calories a day (tried 1200, but that was putting me into starvation mode according to my nutritionist)" unless you are very overweight, 1800 cals will be too much. I would put on weight if I were eating 1800 per day too. If I've eaten 1800 cal in a day it means I've binged! Also, don't kid yourself by thinking…
