I live in Penrith, Sydney, but I work on Barrow Island in WA. Right now I'm working in Perth on secondment until the end of the month.

I love flavoured fizzy drinks - it's a fact! I know they are bad for me, so I've majorly cut back. I still have them occasionally, but I don't have the "diet" versions because of the chemicals. I am starting to enjoy sparkling mineral water with the juice of a lime or a lemon. I have a really big drink bottle and I try and…

I'm back on MFP!! I lost a heap of weight previously on MFP, until I broke my foot and gave up..... 2014 is the time to restart and get back to my pre broken foot weight, plus a bit more!!

What's TDEE? :-)

Me too! Love how it fits in my bra!

Thanks!

I've been using Map My Walk for a couple of years - I love it, and now it syncs with My Fitness Pal and my Fit Bit! Great!!

I'm one of those people that disappears for a little while and comes back.... This is mainly because I have really bad internet connections when I'm away from home (I work in a rural part of the country). I log most days on my iPod, but don't always have an internet connection for it to upload onto the website. If people…

I used to have problems getting to sleep, or getting back to sleep if I woke up.... A psychologist tole me that I needed to make my bedroom my 'haven' and only do 'sleep' things in there.... My mobile phone and laptop are in the lounge room. One thing I do is listen to podcasts... And audiobooks.... I like there with my…

Floating eyeballs.... now that's a great quote!! I love it!

I am feeling your pain.... I lost my dog (my best friend of 12 years and only companion at home) on Tuesday, and all I want to do is cry. My problem is that I don't want to eat at all.... Even just thinking about food makes me want to be sick.... I know I will lose weight as a result, but I'm sure I'll just put it back on…

Me too, only I do it in my PJs (it's cold here at 530am) and take the 800g off for my clothes to get the 'correct' weight....

I'm in Sydney Australia!!!

I don't delete anyone..... unless they are rude or obnoxious or something like that..... I must admit that I'm a bit of a voyeur on this site and don't comment as much as others, but then I'm not online all day either....

sorry, but I doubt it........ Vegemite is Yummmm!!!!!

I only ever eat cashews and macadamias..... Walnuts make me gag or dry reach!!!

Good on you!! Way to go!!!

I have a set of digital scales at home that I use to measure everything I eat at home. I also went and bought the same set for work! I'm a bit obsessed now.... I must admit, before I started measuring food, I had NO IDEA how big portions were - I was eating far too much!!! Now I'm logging it appropriately and I'm losing…

Hi - Well done with the quitting smoking! I had my last cigarette on 9 January 2007 and haven't looked back...!!! Yes, I did put on weight, but just ignored it, and I'm was that same weight when I started on here... If you put your mind to it, don't eat the crap that I ate, you should be ok. I hope this works out for you,…

I'm from Sydney - Blue Mountains area....

I would LOVE fluffy white bread, toasted, with lashings of real butter and vegemite with cheese under the griller!!! I can't eat bread because I can't eat wheat, and I can't eat cheese and butter because I can't eat dairy, and vegemite just isn't the same without them! Oh I soooo miss you favourite comfort food!!

My parents are from Glasgow.... but I'm from Australia! Feel free to add me if you want!

Well done! I was under the 'obese' BMI for two days then put it back on somehow..... I'm quite jealous now! Good on you!

Hi! I'm fairly new to MFP, so I'm learning how to work out what I should and should not be eating, and how my exercise (and lack thereof) impacts on how much I can eat each day. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want some more support! Shonz

This is actually a great idea for me, as I am on a gluten free diet, and it's really hard to find Chinese food that doesn't have wheat in the sauce.... Thanks!

I have the same 'problem'... I hope you find an answer!! Although I do think part of my issue is my fluid retention issues....

I must admit I really struggle with this on days that I make 'good' food choices, and find out that I'm only eating 1000 calories in the day.... I always struggle to find those extra calories! Thanks for some good suggestions!

Yes, but some of us make bad choices (and I'm definitely one of those!!!) I don't think I'd want to eat my dog's kibble and raw chicken necks, but he loves it!!

I like this!!! I guess according to the study, I have no *kitten* at all!!! that's the benefits of being single!
