thanks, l looked up an online calculator and it said his calorie requirements for the day were 3500 - and to eat 500 less for weight loss, but to me 3000 sounded way too many??????

wow grammar police are out, watch your sentences. No idea how to handle deployment (although wouldn't mind sending my hubby away sometimes) but good luck with it, enjoy that butterfly time of a new relationship :)

chicken, eggs, lots of fruit and veg

never heard of aqua zumba sounds like it would be fun l've done water aerobics at a couple different places and generally it's chest depth exercises and you can keep your hair pretty dry but it gets a bit splashed on, if it's long at all tie it up as much as possible if yo really want to keep it dry

I was in US one year at halloween and it was fun, friends we were staying with had kids and they dressed up and we all walked the neighbourhood door knocking, then took the kids home to bed and most of the adults went to a haunted house thing was lots of fun however l live in Australia and it's not a tradition over here…

depends how good you are at making yourself workout and pushing yourself to work hard. I love the gym because l find l workout harder otherwise l feel l've wasted the effort to get there if l don't push myself, class is my ideal workout cause l do different exercises and the instructor is there to encourage/push me. If l…

Funny how the posts about being over dramatic are from blokes - they don't get it sometimes (not being mean), my hubby doesn't understand that l feel uncomfortable walking/jogging after dark Go with your gut instincts, l really believe that we have a six sense for feeling something's odd and please follow the feeling,…

they are out there - l didn't marry one - but l've got some male relatives that are incredible at taking a very active role with their children's lives and the household chores while still working outside the home, makes me jealous sometimes :)

I tend to give it a miss cause l just cant resist fresh bread, l'm drooling at the thought, l have good intentions of using it for lunches but never lasts past the day lately l've been using the bread maker to mix the dough for rolls/pizza bases - mix the dough and have it in the fridge all ready to bake off when needed…

stop listening to everyone else, take some time out and listen to what you want and what's best for you and your daughter (work, family, school etc) delete the ex from your life completely

me too!

you sound like you know what it takes to lose weight and keep it off - so no advice from me on that front keep checking in on here - best motivation when feeling like making poor food choices or not bothering to exercise - and what better motivation than looking hot in your bikini on your honeymoon

OMG l just spat on the computer, love it - probably wont tell my 2 & 4 year olds about the accident just yet

I'm not qualified in any way shape or form to really comment but that's not going to stop me :) Sounds a bit more cardio that just straight weights - so possibly circuit might be better match????? Is there anyone that could lend you a hrm (or do the gym possibly have one you could borrow) for at least one workout so you…

sounds great - might have to try this, now to lock the doors so no one can come in

I hadn't either - would it have another name in australia? I have lead a pretty sheltered life :) had to google it - l know it as a 'bong' and no never tried it

l visit the goodwill stores and look out for quality clothes that are the next size down - got a couple of great jeans and pants. Workout clothes l look for sales at chain stores (kmart/target) don't want to be wearing things other people have been sweating in. Getting into tops l haven't fitted for a while hanging out for…

i do a bit of a swap, first place l lose weight, now carrying around a couple of very saggy looking ones, hubby would love them to be a bit bigger and perkier. wish it would move from my waist

went to the gym, had a great class, feel great hubby is over his grump and even had a snack waiting for me when l got home :)

thanks everyone - l am stay home mum to a 2 & 4 year old so not at school yet - they do have an afternoon at nanna's and day at creche and l do go to gym those mornings, otherwise l'm on mum duty - l'm also studying so some of my child free time has to be to study. This is actually kids second night away and last night…

perhaps l might try this one :)

always feel great when working out - buy man do l get grumpy when l cant get to the gym for a few days

That's part of my frustration, l'm working hard to firm up my butt while his is laying on the couch (after he gets home from work) - have tried to get him to come with me but l couldn't even get him to come for a walk around the block the other night with our boys!

i eat an apple on the drive home and finish my water bottle - all gone within 20 min of finishing my workout! Once l get home it's back into mum mode and l wouldn't get around to having anything if l waited?

I'm in Australia and have the crane hrm from aldi for about a year and l love it (cost about $19) Mine has a chest strap as well as the wrist watch/display. I did have a flat battery in the chest strap and that gave me no readings (yes did check my neck for a pulse just to be sure) but changed the battery and back on…

I often click on a topic cause it's something l want help/advice with and l don't actually have anything useful to say

I've never seen frozen zucchini here in Australia? That's not very helpful is it? I love zucchini grilled, stirfry or baked not sure how this translates with frozen version.

even if it had a bruise on it that is usually from a bump and can be cut out without affecting the taste at all - side note l had a child in daycare where l worked long time ago and he wouldn't eat the bruise on banana cause he was convinced he would get a bruise from it? Enjoy and my kids love bananas and we eat them…

if it's working for you why not we are making lifelong changes not on short term 'diets' so has to be something you can maintain and if you love chocolate and can work it into your calories for the day and still be losing weight l'd say - enjoy
