got 2 and that's good for us, perhaps if we had met and started breading earlier who knows but l'm very content we have a complete family :)

it's horses for courses - personally l love my gym, it's small and family friendly l love the classes for making me work harder than l do on my own but then when l can't make it to a class l use the cardio or weight room, and the pool/spa/sauna is good. Although there are some people there that are a lot fitter than me l…

l love pump and sat burned 400 calories in class (bit low think l slacked off a bit) but as someone else said you burn calories for a while after this class, like attack and can burn 600 calories in it but have a foot injury so can't do any impact, have done step but again can't do that at the moment. Balance is a good…

yes healthy food choices would be great and most people on this website are going to want this - l actually would love the calories on the menu so l can make an informed choice, even if it was on a separate sheet hidden in the back of the menu so not to scare some people??

currently munching on a big bowl of steamed vegetables with a laughing cow light cheese and sweet chili sauce - yum

i wouldn't be driving him to subway to get something to eat - my boys are encouraged to try what's on their plate,as long as they have had at least one bite they have the choice of a simple sandwich (peanut butter etc), but luckily they are pretty good and will give just about everything a try.

It's healthy to talk about things and as a christian l would of thought judging others was frowned apon - if you don't like the tone of the conversation don't read it. My reading is the majority of people on here are saying they haven't and wouldn't cheat (l'm happily married and would never cheat), those that have are not…

eating out can be a problem (if you are a control freak like me) but a few tips l got from on here are; # if you know where you are going check if they have a website, lots of places do and have a menu that you can read through before getting there and try to guestimate the healthiest option. # remember yo can always ask…

i kind of knew what it was but couldn't for the life of me figure out the initials - thanks

don't beat yourself up to much - l think the important thing is to get back on track, think of it as just a little detour not a complete derailment on this journey to a fitter healthier you, and their will be detours that is just what life throws at us but the important thing is to deal with it at the time and enjoy (ie…

i don't think l ate out anywhere for a good month when l started my new healthy lifestyle - and it wasn't until talking to my trainer and told me one of our local places had a staff member who was also a gym member and a keen mfp user and she had listed a lot of their items into the food on here so l could start eating out…

rubybelle said most of my info - if l know l'm going out l try to look up the restaurant online and often they have a menu so l can have time to think about what l want to order before getting there and my trainers always suggest to; simple piece of 'meat/fish/chicken' grilled if possible, heaps of salad with a vinagrette…

my boys are a bit young for me to have these issues yet - but trust your instinct, and while l'd not discourage your child to not play with there friend (poor child might not have other friends) l'd be very encouraging of other friendships

thanks for the best thread ever - just waisted my whole afternoon reading all 17 pages and got none of my uni assignments done and kids will be home any minute ........ I can't think of anything l got that tops what a good friend got from her in-laws for their first christmas after getting married - they got a plot at the…

I'm in australia and l got a one from aldi for $20 and love it, gives me all the stats l need

dont forget to enjoy the company and night out - yes it's important to try and eat as healthy as possible given the situation but it also important to not feel like you are depriving yourself of anything so don't let guilt be your though for the night :)

IMO - detox is a load of rubbish - any weight you lose you will put back on once you start eating again and look into it, you will lose muscle and body will store fat in famine mode so you end up going backwards. As for cleaning out our system - you have a body full of organs that are designed to clean and filter…

Same here if l've gone over on sugar l look at what form my sugar was - and if it's just because of my fruit l don't stress about it :) Just read you love your coffee and have it with sugar - my trainer uses stevia as a sugar replacement, a natural product that is super sweet so you only use a tiny amount, l don't have…

why are you finding it miserable? are you hungry or just sick of counting calories and stressing if it is a carb/sugar etc??? Basically l look at it like this - my daily is 1350 (after talking to my trainer) this amount is is enough to keep me from being hungry given my average activity for the day and just a few less that…

My trainers always stress that it's important to eat every 2-3 hours, even if it's just a small handful of nuts or piece of fruit, it is important to keep the metabolism working

are you finding any changes in your measurements? if you have started doing weights perhaps your last bit of weight is being taken up by your new musles (KWIM?) if you have joined a gym perhaps try changing your cardio by doing a few classes

Personally I'd rather have a fitness instructor that looks like they practice what they preach - that's what l love about the instructors at my gym they are all living what they teach in their classes, one of them had a baby 8 months ago and put on a lot of weight when pregnant and she is a fantastic role model watching…

never actually heard of it but l believe that if it sounds to good to be true then it probabily is! Look hard into what it acutally is and how it works before using it.

gosh l wish l lived where you do - gym membership here is Australia is a lot more, l'm looking at around $18 a week. I'd say join but l love the classes to keep me motivated and cardio/weights to use when l am there between classes.

I'm on a slower losing rate so l won't be joining you but all the best it's great to have a goal like that

I'm working on that my daily calories allowance takes into account general activity and l don't count extra points for running around the playground with my boys but if l go to the gym (or a walk without children) then l wear my heart rate monitor and l count the 600 or so calories l've earnt from a workout as extra…

I'd love to thin my calves - l'm hoping as l lose weight they will shrink

Gosh your post sounded familiar, l had 2 c-sections, gallblader removal, surgery for infection, umblicus hernia - 5 surgeries in 3 years. Any tips on finding my tummy musles would be great :)

I love waking up sore - l know l've had a good workout and really pushed it! As for working out over in the free weight section with the 'fitties' l realised something today when at the gym - everyone there is so focused on themselves and their workout they aren't really paying attention to you at all!

your life has been turned upside down and your priorities have changed so of course it's going to be hard to get back into exercise, but try and plan to do something new each week - perhaps this week you will plan meals and snacks for 3 days (or a week if game), next week you will get out and go for a run twice, and each…
