Yeah, I assume the person was trying to do so lol...not so easy to do when you're actually burning more calories than some people here even eat in a day.

I'm having a similar issue with Marathon training, I have increased my calories and decided to take the pressure off myself to also lose weight, or much weight, at this point in time. I don't think there's much need to hurry, I planned on being here a long time yet anyways, to learn to maintain and everything, so now my…

I think my sweat after a workout smells kind of good, it's kind of like butter menthols, not b.o ish like other people's...but I think I'm probably biased.

I'm training for my first Marathon, but have never stopped and thought that the word 'fit' ever belonged to me. I think its a word I always use to describe someone else, someone doing something I can't at that present moment, or perceive as challenging/a new goal lol. And others are the same to me, if they consider me to…

What would you recommend I do if I always get hungry at night time?

Yeah the nearest Macca's near me, I wouldn't really wanna hug anyone. Probably stab me, or they smell lol.

Well it's mostly carbs, so I think there's probably more sugar than Hazelnuts in it! I wonder how it would turn out to try making your own hazelnut spread, like people make their own PB.

A spoonful of Nutella dipped in Milo, now that's awesome :P also nutella in vanilla cupcake mix, and spread on top as 'icing' or 'frosting' as you American folk call it, I believe.

I'm from Melbourne, but feel free to add anyways :) here's an Aussie group if you haven't already seen it. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/240-aussie-aussie-aussie

I saw one of my friends on here took some weights that you can fill up with water etc on her holiday, thought that was pretty cool.

Thinking I might order some Quest bars from Iherb too. I just tried a few this week! As far as protein goes, I really like the wpc & wpi from BulkNutrients.com.au, it's decent tasting and reasonably priced, and cheaper if you know someone who wants to split postage costs etc, I do that with my partner and a few of his…

Sweet :)

Not noticing that so much at the moment, It's normally an immediate soreness after, which recovers quickly, but when I was training for my half late last year, I was weight training on run days three times a week. I was running less days then than now, though, and I often had DOMS then, so I got a foam roller.

Yeah I had much less DOMS when I got a leg massage after a big workout, so I figured it might produce similar results. I read an article last night saying that massage doesn't do what people usually say it does (remove toxins or lactic acid etc) but *some* research shows it can help reduce the intensity of DOMS and may…

I found it slowed down my weight loss a bit, so I don't bother... I just add in regular treats as a part of a balanced diet. There's nothing I really cut out.

I weighed in everyday for around 300 days. Now though, I am weighing myself and checking that weight in on mfp every Sunday morning. It's actually been so much better, because it used to sometimes make me feel fat that whole day if i was up on the scale that day, and I've been less concerned about single days, broadening…

I got off caffeine pills cold turkey, which was hard because I got a real slump in energy at work and felt I needed it, but in the end you feel a lot better mood-wise, and I just make sure that I get to bed earlier so I feel better/less tired. Studies have shown that caffeine is actually not so great for those of us with…

Yes, definitely use it to fuel your journey but keep going because you want to be the best YOU can look and feel for you. At the end of the day, sometimes leaving is easier than staying, though it doesn't seem like that! You're an incredibly strong lady for choosing to stay and forgive him-I could never ever do that, but…

I'll copy and paste some of my favourite ones from my recipe box. Stuff like grinding up raw oats or chia seeds first adds thickness, or I use 1 cup water or coconut water or milk to thin it out. -Choc recovery smoothie: 420 cal, but it would be a bit more if you use full fat milk obviously :) 1.00 cup(s), Water 30.00…

How about, Sinistrous and Jnichel can be each others Valentine? Ya'll seem like you need hugs <3 (I just said Ya'll and I'm Australian *Cringe*)

This is all mostly my personal experience/what I have read. So take it with a grain of salt ;) I believe with sugar, you want to keep it under. There's probably not any benefit for you to go over your daily sugar, and of course going under in added sugar on a regular basis is a good thing. I think it's all about balance,…

Bump :) still looking for new members.

Don't pluck the *kitten* out of your eyebrows! Also, you're getting fat...dooo something about it!

I didn't really even notice when it happened! Must have been just a little at a time. I also didn't notice when my face got less chubby, but I really noticed some other places like my thighs and torso. I went to a D from a DD/E (Wasn't correctly sized at heaviest weight but was wearing a DD bra) not too bad for 22kg, but…

Melbourne, Australia

The only thing it might impact is your weight if you weigh yourself the following morning after eating later...I used to work late and come home and eat dinners at 10:30pm and nope I didn't gain anything, but certainly it was a bit dismal looking at the scales to see I was heavier and not getting a very accurate reading of…

I'm training for my first Marathon in May! so I'll be training through the Summer here in Australia, but I trained for my half marathon last winter. So far I prefer the winter training haha...even when I got wet sometimes. I was wondering, how can you tell if you need new footwear? I haven't changed mine as often as 6…

Try to find something you enjoy-with both food and exercise... find slots in your cals for treats. If it feels like chores/punishment, you're less likely to stick it out. Heck, most of us are...that's no fun :)

The Polar FT4 is a great all-rounder starter watch. All plastic. Mine was about $96 a year ago Online so it has probably dropped down. Have a look at Wiggle.com.au, Gumtree, Facebook buy sell and swap groups in your area, Ebay, etc. It's been a great little gadget and helped me lose 22kg. You might be able to get something…

Usually I did chocolates and a card or something like that, but last year I hid my surprise in his car and made up a joke that I left something in there so he would have to go and check asap. We didn't hang out for it and he didn't even know what day it was and was awkward about me giving him something...I guess this year…
