I've been through this... and it's not easy at first, but it does get better... I was a smoker and I am overweight. My friend is still a smoker and is still overweight. I would go and visit her in a town about 3 hours drive away, and I basically sat around her house all day waiting for her to get out of bed. When she did,…

Oh I hear you on that one, only mine isn't little!! And my tummy..... Oh, and my thighs.... And my tuck-shop arms....

Well done!!! I am yet to 'have' to go out and buy new clothes because the old ones are too big..... I can't wait for the day! Keep up the good work! :happy:

83.7 kg on 4 March!! Woo Hoo!!! I didn't know about the chocolate rule.... does fake chocolate count? I can't have the milk in real chocolate, so I only have fake chocolate.....

It's technically called 'self-talk' - I studied a bit of psychology a few years ago. The big thing I got out of it was that if your self-talk is positive (like I *CAN* do this, I *AM* worth it etc), it can be one of the best motivators in the world! If your self-talk is negative (I'm no good, I can't do this etc), it can…

That's quite a lot of ideas! I'll have to try some of them out! Thanks everyone! :happy:

Excellent idea!! Thanks for that!

What exactly is EVOO???? I've never heard of it before!!

I can't wait for that day!! I know I'm going inthe right direction, and one day it will happen for me - and for anyone else that tries! Shonz

Hi Everyone, I'm from Australia and I think I have the same problem.... I have my scales set to American imperial just so that I can use this site properly! It is working, so I'm not complaining!

I look like your 'before' photos..... Hopefully I will look like your 'after' photos!! It gives me hope! Thanks!!!!!!

I have probelms working out my sushi intake.... I have no idea how much a 'piece' is.... most on this site are '6 pieces' or something similar.... I wish it was a weight so I could put it on my scales and actually know!

Yes, that's what I thought! Thanks for confirming that!!!

I've been gluten and dairy free since August, and the thing I miss most is that yummy fluffy white bread! I have just accepted that I can't eat it, and the substitutes aren't that flash. Basically, I don't eat many carbs now, which is quite good I guess. I do eat rice (I love my sushi), but potatoes are very fattening, so…

Welcome! I'm new to this site too, so feel free to add me as a friend if you want. Shonz

I hear you! I'm not that much into exercise either, but I'm trying.... I'm hoping that eventually the endorphins will catch up with me....

Is it too late for me to join? :devil:

I think gammon is something like ham.....

Am I too late??? I'd love to join in..... Anyone should feel free to add me as a friend, as I have only just started on here and I'm looking for some motivation and support (I guess just like everyone else!) :glasses:

Hi! I'm from Sydney too! I met Laurie Daley in a lift at a Panthers game.... I had no idea who he was, and I was just chatting to this guy in the lift about him dripping the sauce from his pie on his shirt.... My friend asked me if I knew who it was that I was talking to and I just said 'No, why...???' then she told me...…

I don't know if I'm a Celiac or not. I do know that I cannot function if I'm eating wheat. After just a small amount, I'm a write-off for a couple of days! My naturopath told me I had to cut gluten and dairy out of my diet for 6 months to see if I got better. I was off work for three weeks in July and felt awful. All I…

Hi - I've had depressive / anxiety bouts several times throughout my adult life.... Sometimes I wonder if it is really depression or something else.... I've recently been told to stop eating wheat and other gluten-containing grains so improve my energy levels. I used to want to just curl up and sleep all day, but I feel so…

Hi, maybe you should try for it, but make your final decision if you are accepted..... You may be worrying about nothing, and I'm sure that if you decide not to do it, they will be able to find someone else to fill your place... Shonz

I live in Sydney Australia! I love it here, except that it has been too hot this summer for much in the way of outside exercise though!

Well done! Congratulations!

If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you can download the app and you can do it offline and then it syncs when you are back online.... That's what I do and ti works quite well!

I'm new here too! So far so good - I'm really enjoying how I feel with just a couple of kilos off! Good luck with everything. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want. Shonz

Thanks Dawn.... I get my curves smart card tomorrow!!

I think my 'spike day' might just be today..... Had a very lazy weekend (it's soooo hot and humid here and curves wasn't open when I was available...) - better luck tomorrow!
