  • Living in the Netherlands so some of it is in Dutch! But as you can see I brought my vegemite from home :P Can't say this is accurate, I haven't had an apple in over a month lol but oat bran and peanut butter... yep Generic - Oat Bran Kraft - Vegemite Fruit - Apple Milk - Nonfat (fat free or skim) Calve - Pindakaas Light…
  • People on the forums can help with legitimate advice, Pg3lbew.
  • 5"2 .. I'm about 63kg (138.6lb). Aiming to get down to 58kg (127.6lb) in the long term - by the end of the year (when I'm back home I can focus more on this). Short term (I'm travelling until October), I hope to get down to 60 and maintain that while on my travels. God help me when I'm in Italy!
  • Look... I should... But I'm studying abroad. Involves a lot of drinking. And not going to lie, I sometimes have no idea how much I consume in a night. But that's because I don't take note of it. I'm sure I could track it, but I don't count it because I'm lazy and don't think to do so at the time. Fact is I'm not going to…
  • It's an awkward conversation to have. If you don't want that reaction, keep it to yourself, or be ready to list off your goals to shut them up. Not everybody knows the right thing to say or how to be supportive. Essentially, you're complaining about someone who has made it clear to you they think you're great the way you…
  • Remember that you're doing this for yourself, not for them! And the fact you have a supportive husband in the first place is better than nothing. Maybe they just feel awkward saying anything. What if they said hey you're looking great you've lost weight.. some people would turn around and think .. well what? did i look bad…
  • Running. Not fast, or interval training. Just keep running - long distances.
  • I think you're just misinterpreting a culture thing. I know a lot of asians (legitimately from Asia, not the westernised ones) who are very upfront in this way. I also have received a comment before from a thai.. "Ohhh, you have got fat since I last you!". Straight out. It sucks, but someone's gotta tell you.
  • I know you said you didn't want to hear "stop looking and you'll find someone", but it's true. You can't think of every male you speak to as a potential prospect. Find male company in the form of friendship, find hobbies that force you to leave the house and as a result meet people. I want to say you can't meet someone…
  • This might be kind of negative, but I say 'you're still fat!' lol. I don't mean it in a condescending way, and I'm in no way overweight, but it's just a reminder that just because I've lost a few kilograms.. doesn't mean I can be slack and slow down the whole process. There is still a goal that needs to be reached. During…
  • AND THEN I never know what to record in the food diary. the day before or the day after?? plus can never remember how much I ate !!!
  • I never used to be that bad.. But while I've been on exchange it's been ridiculous! I come home and eat mine and my housemates food and everything in sight. I don't care about the calories from the alcohol, I expect that. The food is soooo unnecessary! Either way I'm going to wake up feeling terrible. I think I'm going to…
  • I'm studying in Europe at the moment (I'm from Australia), and the girls all shower together after games of organised sport at the gym, someone told me they chant as well sometimes haha. If they're comfortable, who cares? Society has just taught us that nudity = bad when really it's completely natural. In saying all this,…
  • find a buddy! if you have to meet up to work out, then you'll go. you don't even have to work out together. i go to the gym with my friends and we commit to stay there for an hour. then we leave together.
  • Oat Bran apparently helps!
