When you made the recipe, how many servings did you make it? Say you made 4 servings, what I do is measure out 4 servings (one into a bowl, and 3 into containers to freeze) and I weigh how much is in each one, moving spoonfuls until they are all even, or within a gram or so. So if I made 400g of chilly, I'd make four 100g…

I think you could do it if you really committed. In saying that, it doesn't really matter if you don't reach that 50lb loss by December, because you'll still have lost something, and you'll still feel good going to see your in-laws. So just get started now, and by December you'll feel great either way.

Not just Dunkaroos, the strawberry flavoured Dunkaroos! Man they were so good when I was a kid, they stopped selling that flavour in Australia at least 10 years ago though :(

I did Week 1 Day 3 yesterday, and I'm going to do Week 2 Day 1 sometime today!

Gives me a ton of time to sit around obsessing about food, running, cooking, and wondering if my degree is going to be wasted ;)

900kj is 215 calories (900 divided by 4.1868), but the OP could be maybe burning that in 20 minutes if she is going all out and is obese, she never mentioned her height/weight though. But cityruss definitely has a good point, it could definitely be the wrong setting. And on top of that, still overestimating the OPs burn.

10lbs in 50 days is pretty good. Could you provide us with your height and current weight? Also, like nicola1141 said, 900-1150 calories in 20 minutes is INSANE. I'm 230lbs and it would take me 75 minutes to burn 800 calories, and that's doing some intense Zumba with a lot of movement. I would definitely look into getting…

I totally understand what you mean. I live in Downtown Toronto, so there is NO WHERE I can run without people seeing me. I actually don't use the gym in my building because everyone there is all super fit and look like they know what they're doing. But then the other day, I was like, you know what, get over it. Stop being…

This isn't in reference to the OP's diet tea, this is just from my POV. Sometimes you just feeling like a nice cup of tea! I use to drink it all the time when I got headaches, luckily I found one that doesn't do it. But sometimes, you just really need a cup of tea, and the headache is worth it. However, in saying that, I…

Yeah, I do, not from green tea (I just don't like it), but I 100% get it from regular black tea, and most herbal teas, I have found one very specific brand of black tea that it doesn't happen with, so I just drink that, and peppermint tea. I don't know why it happens, I'm sensitive to caffeine though, so I assume it's just…

I'm 22 now, I've gotten small pains in my ankle since I was 16, normally it only lasts a day or two, and only happens once a month or so, so it was never really a massive issue. In the past few months, since I moved to Toronto, it's gotta a lot worse and more constant, it's a stabbing pain in my ankle and the arch of my…

I'm in! I did W1D2 yesterday. I'm thinking about doing 5 days a week instead though, because it's quite easy at the moment, plus I want the extra workout calories for more days. Also, chi18, I think it's tough to recommend earbuds because everyone's ears are shaped so differently, my Apple ones stay in just fine, but I…

Hi everyone, I didn't read all of the posts on here because it would take me forever, so I was hoping some of you more seasoned runners could help me out with a question. I'm just starting out with running, I've done two days of C25k, and I was wondering, is it really essential for me to rest every second day? Could I do 5…

I make healthier versions of desserts that I love, so I boiled raspberries, an apple and some water with a teaspoon of sugar until it was like pie filling, separated it into 5 portions, then I add 10g of graham cracker crumbs to each serving, and top it with 30g of full fat whipped cream, and it's so satisfying, but it's…

When I stopped drinking soft drink last year, I started drinking a lot more sparkling water, and I find that it really helps me feel less thirsty, and it quenches any Coke cravings I might have. Plus it's fairly cheap. I will say, my doctor told me not to drink a ton because I have bad indigestion and it can make it worse,…

When I use to use the 'light' wraps, they use to break all the time, but the full fat ones were fine. Maybe it's the type of wraps you are using?

Yeah, I'm the same, I'm just finishing mine now, and I've been exhausted all week, luckily I'm not at work at the moment, so I can sleep more, but I understand not everyone can do that. I also get super hungry, but I try to be as good as I can be, I'm normally on 1500, but I go to about 1600-1700 for 3 or 4 days because I…

Just wanted to say, I'm a 36DD/DDD, and I recently moved from Australia to Toronto, and I had NO idea how the bra sizes work here, (I'm a 14E at home) so I went to Victoria's Secret to get fitted because I don't know what stores here do fittings, and the woman was really great, she was in her 40s, and gave me a ton of bras…

I really love tuna and avocado! I don't eat spicy food, so I can't help you there, but I'm sure you could add some spicy sauce or something?

I started C25K yesterday! I hope you keep going, it wasn't as bad as I thought, so I know we can both do it! But I totally get it about the leggings, normally I buy a Large, and they only fit for about 2 weeks until they stretch and start falling down when I run, but a medium won't fit me in the beginning. Plus, legging…

Mash them up and have them on toast with avocado? You could add tomato or ham as well.

Many people also huff petrol, doesn't mean it's good for you, even though it gives them a quick fix.

I don't experience this, I'm good at portioning, so I can't give you personal advice, but do you live with people? Why don't you get them to serve as your 'sweet vendor' and give them portioned amounts of what you like, but ask them to hide them, or put them somewhere locked that you can't get into, then once a day when it…

I know exactly what you mean. I was super healthy at the beginning of last year, and about 20lbs from my goal. Then I had a tough year at uni, and started going out with someone new and I gained about 30lbs, probably more. Then in February, I moved from Sydney, Australia to Toronto, CA and I have no life here. I came for…

You look so different! So inspirational. Keep going, you look great already, think about how amazing you're going to look after another 30-40lbs!! :D

The volume of a mL doesn't change, why would it not be accurate? Maybe a cheap one from the dollar store could be wrong from the get go, but a decent glass measuring jug will always be correct when measuring liquids. 1 liquid cup of molasses will weigh more than 1 liquid cup of water, because it's more dense, but the…

You need a measuring glass, you can get Pyrex ones for a few bucks anywhere, they have cups and mL measurements on them. Oh, and 1L is roughly 1000g, not 100g :)

I'm in NSW, luckily it hasn't been horrible hot at the moment, but it's still too hot to be outside, I work nights, so I can't exercise in the morning or late afternoon because I'm at work, so I have to either run on the days when it's overcast/raining, and on the hot days, my only choice is to ride my exercise bike inside…

I have several people on my friends list who never like or comment on anything, no support at all, I only have a half dozen that are actually friendly. I definitely want more support, you're all welcome to add me! SW: 200lbs (92kg) CW: 190lbs (86.6) GW: 160lbs (72) UGW: 145lbs (65) :)

100% Correct. If they aren't creepy, they're dumb as all hell, or they have 6 kids to 6 different women. I'm just gonna go buy some cats...
