As a nurse I see 10 people on the same drug (ie oycontin) with up to 10 different reactions-ie person 1 will get high blood pressure, person 2 constipation person 3 no pain relief etc Those people who put the weight back on probably went back to their old eating habits. It's never going to work if you go back to eating the…

nope. not if your already thin. It might be correct for bigger people but us already lean people don't find it accurate

Hi all, I am been an RN for 5 years (& took a 2 year break to work in London as a nanny-sooo fun!) in Australia. I work in an acute rehabilitation ward on a fantastic public research hospital. It is the best hospital I have ever worked in, and I use to do agency work and so have worked in heaps. I find it easy to lose…

there is nothing there.

I am taking a break from logging this week, will still be eating healthy but feel I need a week off logging. Only 1kg to lose so not stressed about it re Xmas, yup won't be watching what I eat on 24-26th Dec and 31 Dec-2nd Jan. So that's 6 days of eating what I want just not eating when I'm full though and luckily I like…

yeah ok it could have been from not drinking much water when I woke up or the 1/2 sleeping tablet I took the night before. The perils of shiftwork :)

try searching intermittent fasting and also calorie cycling, esp if this weekend eating will be regular for you. then make up your own mind what will work for you, with your doctors approval http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/348521-intermittent-fasting-support-group

You might not want to hear this but I went from eating most/all of my exercise calories to rarely eating any (maybe two days a week eating half) and my weight loss went from soooo sloooow-like .1-.2kg a week, to .6-.8kg a week. but then I am slim. dont have much to lose and won't be doing MFP for much longer. If I had a…

so today in the gym at 615am I felt a bit lightheaded a few times. It was a fasted workout. I drank some more water and was ok. Just wondering if anyone else has had that? the sunday was a fasting day so hadn't eaten a whole lot (but still a good meal, dessert and two snacks) ate today from lunchtime as not a fasting…

agree 100%!!!!

I have noticed since doing ESE I dont feel the need to eat every few hours. I use to feel all irritable and shaky iif I didnt eat every 3-4 hours (3 more likely!) but now I am fine. However I also find if I have breakfast I am hungrier throughout the day than if I start eating after lunch. Why is that?

um ok how is this unhealthy? dried fruit (not in huge amounts) is not unhealthy. i have been slim my entire life and have dried fruit everyday. A little bit in my muesli or some sultanas on All Bran. It is a natural sweetener and good for you.

this is for good, this healthy eating. and some days you may not make the best choices but 90% of the time you will-and the weight will stay off! you are doing so well-and great point about feeling sluggish and realising you use to always do that to yourself. its not just about thin, its about health.

i never grew up with mayo so dont understand people's obsession with it. my friend uses natural yoghurt as a substitute. i also never grew up with salad dressings. health freaks as parents did have some rewards :D

I prefer vita brits-cos that's what i was given growing up :D Me-flooded with skim milk and 1 tsp LSA (linseed soy and almond ground) Brother-plain with semi-skimmed milk. he has been known to eat 10 in one go Sister-with 1/2 banana and skim milk Dad-with full fat milk and sometimes pouring cream as a treat (!?) Mum-with…

We are all skinny in my family. We all weigh ourselves. When I am at my usual weight I might only do it once a fortnight. My Mum who has been 52kg since high school weighs herself every week and if it creeps up a kg she nips it in the bud and cuts out chocolate and dessert until it;s gone...like by the next week :)

My second fasted work out went MUCH better. Did body pump with no dramas whatsoever. Also went and bought BCAA tabs afterwards so will try taking 2 of those 45 min before my next fasted workout. Cant hurt :) Loving eat stop eat and only 1kg to go. Which after Friday night (brownies, pizza, LOTS of alcohol-like 2/3 bottle…

Well as the calories we estimate are usually under what we eat, I would say 1000-1100 calories is close enough. I know today I estimated the calories in the muesli I had at a cafe by looking up one that I thought might be similar. I could be 200 calories out, easy. And maybe they zig zag their calories? 800 one day, 1400…

Bump for later

@catwrangler-You may be swallowing air-are you chewing lots of gum? Cos that will do it. Or soda/soft drink?

string cheese and carrots vita brits and skim milk homemade muesli bars

wt?? i seriously hope you mean days where you have gone 18 hours of fasting for 10 days not fasted (ie no food at all) for 10 days?

@Jeanine-was it always better for you fasted or did it take some time? @ChrisDavey-CX is kinda like a pilates class crossed with a low impact aerobics class. visit fitnessfirst.com.au website for more info. I usually do body pump 3 times a week, pilates/core or CX 2 times a week, step once a week and jog or use the…

When I was going through growth spurts at 13-15 I would eat a whole box of BBQ shapes (200g and 1045 calories) then dinner (my parents are health freaks so it was always healthy and small portions) then ice cream for dessert. then later in the evening I would have another serve of dinner. Mind you this wasn't every day. I…

edited for strange double post. or maybe my subconscious just REALLY REALLY wants ice cream

oh wow. wish we got that in Australia :C

Did my first 'proper' workout fasted today (had done some jogging before). Kept it simple- a 30 minute class at the gym called CX (Low impact, low cardio workout , dynamic training that hones in on your abs, glutes, back, obliques and “slings” connecting the upper and lower body) After 5 minutes I was tired and about ready…

AGREE! I just made 18 hours th,e first time and felt sick by the last hour, headache, nausea, foggy. Ate and felt fine. 19 hours was my aim the first time so was happy I almost made it. Second time was 20 hours. Now I can do 22, and am sure can do 24 as well but don't feel the need to get to 24 hours. But I'd recommend…

Got to love the cushion in front of tummy action! I think anyone unless they have abs of steels is guilty of that one!!

Thanks @porkbelly, will try that next time. My skinny latte is 63 calories. So not single digits but not triple either. Well next fast is Wed 6pm-Thurs 4pm so will see how it goes with espresso shot (ick)
