i am lucky, my workplace offers us what is called a "fitness passport", this allows me to be able to access a LARGE number of gyms within a 60km radius, I can also access most public swimming pools too. For only $8.25AU per week. Its great, as it doesnt matter where i am I can access a gym, i can also choose classes at…

i started out at a AU20-22.. i am now a AU 14. My goal is to be a AU10-12.. I'll get ther alot faster if i could break this 6week plataue ... GRRR

if i eat back my exercise calories, I also gain weight, i think ever persons body is different and we need to trial heaps of weightloss strategies to find what works as indivuals

hi, another fellow aussie here.. Im a 33 year old female from the Hunter Valley in NSW. ive been using MFP since Feb 2011. ive lost 26 kilos, and have been platueing for 6 weeks now. So extra motivation and TIPS to get that scale moving again, would be GREAT

my daily goal is 1370.. However i alternate... One day i have 1220 & the next 1420 & so on. I dont eat back my exercise calories I have tried to eat more in the past and/or eatback my exercise calories, after reading peoples posts saying that i should, but my body,doesnt like it. i have tried this on 2 occasions for 6…

im the same.. when i eat my exercise calories i maintain and have slight gains. i am going to stop reading so much on these forums and thinking them as FACT. im gunna stop strssiing about it and start listening to my body

thats great to hear.. I to decided 4 weeks ago to trial eating back exercise calories, as my weight loss was also really slow.. My outcome has been the opposite, in four weeks i have GAINED 0.5kg (not much i know).. I was really hoping to break my platuea and start losing again.. confused as to my next step... Keeep eating…

ok so- t have now eated more food/some of my exercise calories for exactly 4 weeks, in that 4 weeks, i have felt a little more "nourished" and less hungy, however i am stilll yet to lose weight and break my plateau. In the 4 weeks I have gained 0.5kg (which is not so bad, but its still not the loss that i was hoping for).…

I loved this thread and will be incorporating some of the tips into my lifestyle.. im the same weight today and i was 7 weeks ago, so as of monday i will commmence zigzaging my calories and change my exercise routine.. thankyou so much, lots of great tips, to help me blast this plateau cheers

thank you all so much for you replies, guidence and opinions, i will take it all on board. i will continue to eat my exercise calories for another few weeks to give my body enough time to adjust to the differnce and i'll re-evaluate then. now that i am aware that it is normal to gain weight initially, i will soldier on.…

ive been on MFP sice january 2011. lost weight consistently every week . i started working out in May 2011, altough i love it and feel GREAT, my weight loss slowed down (alot) and ive had 2 plateaus, i have never eating my exercise calories. Two weeks ago, ive start eating back 1/2 to 3/4 of my earned cals, i have now…

oh i remember that feeling oh to well (im on day 16). i pushed through the pain for about 4 days. i found that jillian doesnt warmup and cool down long enough (for my body ), so i added a few more warmups and a lot more cool down stretches. i found once i started to do that, the pain went away...

thanks alot. im going to try and eat back half my exersice calories for 3 weeks, then i will assess the progress.. My next step is to decrease my workouts for a week or two, after that i will definatly be considering a "spike' day weekly, i guess im just scared that if i begin to eat "bad"foods, old habits will creep back…

ive recently discovered these bars and often have them after a workout at the gym, they satisfy my sweet tooth and are low carb, low sugars, low fat, low calorie and high protein..... i love the low protein mini bars in... cookies & cream and the strawberry & cream... nom nom nom...s ooooooo good

im a Newcastle NSW... feel free to add me

im interested in this. I do 25 minutes cardio, then my 30 minutes weights, then come back for another 35 minutes cardio? cant wait to here peoples thoughts on this one!

@juliapurpletoes thankyou for the extra info @jaininpain. Yep im now 80.1kg and since ive been working out since May 2011 my weight loss has slowed alot and ive had 2 plateaus. Thanks i'm open to any advice, i am definatly going to try eating at least some of my exercise calories. im just wondering if i can expect weight…

so glad i stumbled onto this post. I was starting to wonder what i was doing wrong. I am on day 12 of the 30 DS on level 1 and i too gained weight after my first week (i way in weekly). i gained1.2 kilos!!!! Do you all eat back you exersise calories & what do you log it under??

count me in i started last friday, so i am on day 7. Level 1 i have learned(the hard way) to do my own additional warm up and cool down, as the first few days, i could barely move. (oohhhh the pain... but i pushed though)!!!! *beams with pride..lol (despite being a regular at the gym). its a great workout

I just had lunch.. and it was yummo... tuna and salad *tuna *1/4 avocado *mixed lettuce *1/2 tomato *cucumber'*red capsicum *red onion * light balsamic dressing 230 Calories & delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 NOM NOM NOM

mums home made milkshakes.... chocced with vanilla icecream, full cream milk, chocolate flavouring & whipped cream on top with choc chip cookies..... gosh no wonder developed a weight problem... Damn you mum & your delicious foods *shakes fist*

40 grams porridge, with 1.2 cupskim milk & 1/2 tbs of vanilla protein powder mixed in.. mmm filling!!! and warming me up on this cold and rainy day NSW (australia)

bump :-)

i tyr to changed mine up a little bit.. i usually have 1- 40 g porridge, with 1/2 cup skim & tbp protein powder (mixed in milk) or 2. 1 slice of wholegrain toast wiith a microwave egg or 3. 2 egg omlette, with mushroom, tomato & LFat ham or 4. 1 slice wholegrain toast with "weight watchers bacon (42g for 40 cals) &…

1. go to the beach and pool as often as i can. I will have NO excuses~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2. wear a one peice pair of swimmers (no shirt over the top or board shorts!!! 3. give my self a huge reward, of going to BALI

Yes i am certain the calories burned for exercise are set to high. when i use machines at the gym the calories burned are displayed on the machine on completion of the workout. They are significantly lower that what MFP says i burned. Also It is difficult to guage exact calories burrned, as it depends on the intensity you…

invest in a digital scale!!!! Using a big bowl isnt good as it makes it to tempting to fill. Even if you filled a small bowl, youd ind you would still be over the 30g limit.. good luck on your journey
