I don't accept friend requests on here for this very reason. Not because they don't like or comment on my profile page feed but because I wouldn't be interacting with theirs. This is what I have in my 'About Me' on my profile page: "MFP Friend Requests - just so you know I am not good at all with being actively involved…

Thank you very much, this is most helpful and encouraging. I will chat to my sister and work on a plan. On Saturday I started using the relax/two minute breathing session on my fitbit. So far, I have found it to be a bit of a circuit breaker for me. Just thought this may be useful for anyone else who is short on time for…

Wow, well done, you are looking very healthy!

Hello to all and thank for for continuing to share. My current goal is to be AF at home. I have been AF at home (and elsewhere) since my last post. I am catching up with a couple of friends tomorrow after work, depending how I feel at the time it will be none or one glass of wine. Thursday night is pub choir, again a none…

I joined the Feb thread in the hope of going AF at home as I was drinking more and more at home. Open a bottle of wine I was getting to the point where I didn't stop until the bottle was finished. I did reasonably well, had a couple of slip ups, not slip ups at all though really, I stopped at the bottle shop and bought the…

We certainly are our own worse enemy aren't we. There is definitely a visable difference in your stomach, chest and neck/face. Keep up your great effort!

What is everything? Have you set your profile here to lose weight? What daily allowance did it give you? Have you been tracking your calories? Measuring / weighing all your food and drinks?

I don't moderate well either, its generally all or nothing. Wishing you all the wisdom you need to get through and wake up with a sense all is well with your world.

The cup is lovely! What did the tea taste like?

Once again, thank you everyone for sharing. Sunday morning here and I have had an AF weekend so far with the intention that today will be AF as well. I have been AF at home since starting on this thread. Had one glass of wine when I went out to dinner on Thursday night. Am meeting some friends on Tuesday night, the…

People had to (and still do for some states) apply to cross the state borders g2g passes (good to go) or travel e passes depending on the risk level of where they have been or lived. Some states had hard borders on the roads to prevent people entering (eg Queensland, WA and SA). Can only enter Tasmania by air or Sea so…

Find an alternative for the emotional eating: Feeling angry do a boxing class; stressed soak in the bath or go for a walk; lonely call a trusted friend or family member; bored do something that occupies the the mind and hands (jigsaw puzzle, knitting etc) etc etc. Develop a list of different things to do for each of the…

Melbourne is experiencing a small outbreak of the UK mutant strain at the moment and has gone into a five day lockdown (across all of the state of Victoria) which may or may not be extended. In addition, a number of Australian states and territorities have locked out Victorian travellers and any residents who have returned…

I am generally a reader more than a poster, but I wanted to say thank to those who do post and share their stories. Since I have joined the thread I come back everyday to read it. My goal is to be alcohol free at home, drinking by myself is a slippery slope and I had been drinking more and more frequently. I have been…

I prefer vanilla flavoured protein shakes, I add skim milk, some natural yoghurt and frozen blueberries and blend.

So perhaps you haven't gained too much weight at all and you are being over critical of yourself? Are you looking to lose or maintain weight? Maybe worthwhile talking to your doctor either way, particularly if you haven't exercised or exercised as much as you are planning to since before you were pregnant.

You feel you've gained too much what for your pregnancy but what does your doctor think?

Five (or is four?) days now with no alcohol at home. I had an event Friday and Saturday nights, my goals were no more than two drinks each night. Friday night did well with that and enjoyed two glasses of pinot gris, lamb popcorn and apple cider fries as well as some gelato. Saturday night I had two glasses and poured a…

My increasing tolerance to the amount of alcohol I was drinking was my first sign that I was drinking way too much particularly at home, I will be very happy when I lose that tolerance! Great to be able to catch up with friends and do your together things, those connections are quite important.

I had a look online, from what I can see it seems legit, however, from the quick look I had they do seem a bit cagey about the program. And if they aren't upfront up about the cost before the phone call, I imagine it could be quite expensive??? On their facebook page reviews one person comments on the phone call, the…

Day two no alcohol at home = tick. I have an extra goal for the weekend seeing as there is covid safe food and drink indulge festivale in my home town for which I have a ticket for Friday, Saturday and Sunday...what was I thinking. Anyway my goal for the weekend, no more than two glasses of wine for each of Friday and…

I would like to participate as I have found myself drinking more alcohol than usual at home. My goal for the rest of February is no drinking at home. I will need to take an alternative route home from work as there is a bottleshop on my usual route. I probably shouldn't take credit card or atm card to work either as I can…

Sounds like a new one is in order, that or new batteries. Doesn't hurt to keep it stable and not move it around a lot, also make sure where it sits isn't sloping and is stable, may sit it on a large piece of board if there is only carpet or unven tiles etc.

To add friends click on the user name, then click on the user name again when the page refreshes from there you will see 'add friend' (or something like that). I assume friend requests made to you will show in notifications (the bell on the right hand side) if not, go to the my home or home and from there you will…

Hello and welcome!

No good posting here, you need to cancel on mfp on via whatever means you joined. https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032625371-How-do-I-cancel-my-Premium-subscription-renewal-

Well who knew that the different colours were more about maturity than anything else...https://thenewdaily.com.au/life/wellbeing/2018/04/05/red-green-capsicums-healthier/ Seems they do have different nutritonal profiles...but don't over think it.

Check that all the settings for your personal circumstances are correct eg weight, age, gender etc. Secondly are you wearing the fitbit correctly, follow fitbit instructions for correct wearing. If all above is correct, see your doctor. Note when my mother lost a lot of weight that couldn't be explained it was found that…

Isn't more about the volume/serving size rather than the colour or different type of veges?? So if one cup of green capsicum (bell pepper) is one serve then two cups would be two serves. One cup of green and one cup of red would be two serve of veges

It certainly can, I've lost almost 25kilos in the last year. Hard part now begins, the maintenance of that lost.
