Congratulations - you look fabulous, you look happy, and your eyes are sparking!! I just need to get my camera out as the person in my profile pic is now not someone I really recognise - she has gone..somewhat, I still have the "big girl"in my head some days, and I can so relate to the falling off skirt!!! I put my work…

Please dont be discouraged - I have just had my weigh in this week and have moved about 200 grams - after consistent weeks of 1 kg per week. I have become so upset it is ridiculous. I then decided to gauge by my clothes.. of course they are still loose and getting looser. My head space was telling me I stuffed up but my…

Hi & welcome I am in Adelaide and have been on MFP for 81 days and 13 kg down since on here & 2 lost before so very happy. The IPhone app helps so much I just add into it as my day goes along - it amazes me sometimes what I eat , and how much I dont actually eat!!. Good luck !!

Hi - try water, and at least 2 - 3 litres a day. Fresh fruit and Vegies (or frozen ones- they are just as good, just check the packets for sodium and sugars). I love my caffeine, but since I have been losing weight I have not had one Diet Coke - it just does not appeal anymore. I make my own pizzas - Pizza Hut thinks I am…

HI Denise - thank you :) I am lucky to work with great people who surround me with positives!!! I have lost weight before but put it all back on... I felt defeated, but I actually had to wait until my head was in the right space before I could do it again. This time on my terms not on some fad!! I am loving being able to…

Hi Rebecca Isnt it great!! My clothes are now hanging off me... but I am going to have some of them taken in in the mean time. I am looking forward to getting back into jeans, so good luck - maybe try a different brand of jeans for the time being? I have a long way to go, but honestly will find that lingerie will be the…

Water. Fibre and Pear Juice. Please do not rely on laxatives, as you may become dependant on them. I make sure I intake at least 2-3 litres of water per day, and also I know that sundried tomatoes have a certain effect on me, so if I am constipated, I will include some in my diet. The Pear Juice (natural) was actually…

Congratulations on your weight loss !! How fantastic. Do you reward yourself with non food related items when you hit a goal? As someone who lost 44kgs for my 40th and then put it ALL back on, I am determined that I am in control and not food. I am in a better head space now, and my health is my most important thing, not…

Hi - I am staying as close to my 1200 when I have exercised, and prefer to use those when I need them - like a family dinner. I am seeing great results - the less you are tempted to have something else, the better. And I stick to plenty of water.

hi - re long boots - I have the ridiculous calf problem but purchased my first pair yesterday!! there is a trick to it - zip them up from the bottom all scrunched and pull them up - it might take a few gos, but I was not going to pay $400 AUD plus for boots - and I hate elastic in them. I have a cobbler friend who has…

Welcome ladies - Good luck to you both!!!!:smile:

Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling is great as is JT - I just let me IPOD choose and go from there!!!

Hi Marie Same with me at the moment, was getting a little disheartened, and then decided to start moving a bit more, and it is working. this is not my first time losing weight and last time it literally fell off, but it was very restricitive - no carbs, no a lot of things. Keep your chin up, journal your feelings about…

Congrats - I am one week in and 2kgs down - I am enjoying this so far & my boss at work has joined as well so we helping each other out as well!!! Good luck!!!!
