I often bake it with fruit to mix it up consistency wise and then it feels like a real desert. A recipe can be found here: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/4814/berry+yoghurt+bake I also exchange the honey for Stevia to keep the calories down

I live in Australia have just gotten back on-board myself this week. Love you attitude!

I log all my food at the beginning of the day too, to keep me on track. I must say that I purposely do not logon over the weekend as I try and abstain from technology and most importantly computers as I have a desk job.:) Get a balance that works for you

thank you for this hilarious story lol. And well done you for calling it right then and there

I love this theory. I first had someone ask when I was due at age 15. I am now almost 30 and although I have tried I am not pregnant yet. Its hard to field that question when I so desperately want to be pregnant and am not. I never know if I should punch them in the face or cry. Most of the time I manage an awkward smile…

I do no more than 1300 a day and am losing weight well enough. I eat a lot of veg and make almost everything from scratch. My best advice is get some food scales. My diary is open to friends. Bec

Hi Jess, I have been through 6 rounds of IVF and am having a break for a while. I am not going to lie to you - IT IS HARD. The emotional, physical and life toll is more than most people imagine. All I can say is be realistic. I had grand delusions that we would be successful first time round and the disappointment was a…

I have no idea but my naturopath said I needed to take fish oil tablets to allow more water to move in and out of my cells for hydration, cell health and to help with inflammation.

The real question is, is he asking you to lose the weight or do you want to? What is motivating you? Whatever goal you set will only be reached if you want to reach it. I agree with what many have wrote that even if you lost that much, it is likely to be hard to maintain and may do more harm than good to your body.…

I made this for my work snack and it is yum. I used whatever i had in the cupboard so added slivered almonds, pepatas and dried apricots and it is 148 calories a serve. So easy and yummy Baked Oatmeal Snack Bars If you’re in need of portable whole grains, these are perfect. They are the flavor of good nutrition!…

I love understanding things and pure fact. Thank you!

Well done! if my wife came home with Mcdonalds she would be eating it outside! that is so mean

that is so fantastic – well done you! Re making your money last tips i can give you is when you can try and buy seasonal food from markets etc as it is always cheaper than buying to a recipe. So if one week mushrooms are cheap then buy 2 kgs! This is how i got through Uni with no benefits to support me. If nothing else…

happy for you to add me :)

adding you. Just make every decision a good decision. Ie think about your food and get in as much incidental exercise as possible.

That is great! What type of excercise did you do?

feel free to add me - i am on week 4 now and feel like you, that i want to get my weight sorted for good. Bec

Also here is a great conversion chart for using greek yogurt as a substitute for anything :smile: http://www.ourbestbites.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/chobani-kitchen.jpg

this is great served with zuchinni fritters or any type of vege patty

I love greek yogurt with honey for breakfast. I am going to be trying the below recipe on the weekend though: 30-Calorie Frozen Yogurt Cupcakes http://www.fitsugar.com/Low-Calorie-Ice-Cream-Cupcakes-28553112

thanks. I really like asain food so was thinking of giving korean a go and seeing what i can come up with. being very careful to not have too much rice though and nothing fried

i start yoga in a week and have paid for the whole course so i suppose that is a good start. In terms of your other ideas...I have had a personal trainer before but after 6 months and little results she advised me to try someone else with different techniques. Definitely like the idea of a workout buddy though - thank you!

i don't know about you but i go though phases where i lost alot of hair because of the seasons so if it more then that type of seasonal lose might be best to check with your doctor.

Welcome! It's amazing how positive this site is and how easy it is to be real with yourself once you start tracking your calories. I am 3 weeks in and feeling great because of all the lovely support on here. I have added you so will help keep you motivated. Bec

thanks for this question, i want the answer too :happy:

No shoes in my house! My family struggle with this when they visit but it is so much cleaner and quieter. :)

Thank you for such an open and balanced post. I am trying to get your mental state where food is on a scale rather than “in or out”. I do not like fast food but love carbs and sweets - making and feeding people cake is a joy for me and not for my waist... so I am working on making it a better choice which changing my…
