I have been on here almost 6 months, but after a holiday and being sick I have been absent for a few weeks. So feel free to add me cause I can use some motivation lol so we can motivate each other :)

I track everyday. I find weekends hard so ussually will just note it on my phone and then put it all in on the Monday. It may not be 100% accurate cause often it's food I am eating out, but it's still helpful to track as it gives me a rough idea and I usually find even tho I am careful, I am eating to much.

Thank you guys for your advice, I have a few options to try now. Thanks!

Maybe try something like dry biscuits, crackers or like salada's (big square cracker things) and then put tuppoings on. ussually I just put some cream cheese with salmon, tuna, turkey or ham but you can also add some salad toppings as well.

If you need healthy and easy recipes try stir fry’s. They are so easy and really healthy to. Basic ones only require a few vegetables, like onion, chopped capsicum, shredded carrot, broccoli florets, and maybe even some cut up snow peas. The best thing about them is you can add in whatever vegetables you like. All i do is…

Hi and welcome to the site! Feel free to add me and ask me anything you need. I am not an expert but from this site and doctors I know a lil about fitness and food. I also have learnt of and developed some great low calorie meal ideas as well so am happy to help you get strated on your jouney. So yes feel free to add me…

I used to be on 1200 a day but have since increased because I was always so hungry during the day. However I got by on eating stir fry's for dinner. They always filled me up and kept me full for ages. Add lots of vegetables, a little bit of chicken or meat, and some sort of sauce like Soy sauce or teriyaki (a Mongolian,…

I was told by a personal training at the gym that is it better to eat breakfast afterwards, as your still burning off calories and so you will metabolize faster. Also eating a big breakfast before hand will lead to stiches and is not healthy as the food becomes unsettled. However you need to have something before you…

Thank you so much. I keep hearing people mention TDEE but wasn't sure what it was or how to figure it out. So does that mean even if I go over my fitness pal calories, im alright as lomg as i stayy in my TDEE. Cause fitness pal says 1300 but I find that really difficult! Thanks

Excuse me but what is TDEE and how would I figure that out? Thank you for your help

Hi, I was having the same issue and asked my doctor. he told me that once you are doing a certain excercise for awhile, your body stops burning a smuch during that activity. he suggested I try and mix things up and do different things where possible. Otherwise just try lowering a certain food group and see if that helps.…

I am the same with chocolate lol, that and Doritoes. As hard as I try when someone opens a bag around me I can not resist indulging!

Just as an update I did try eating half a english muffin with vegemite spread on it this morning, was planning on having an egg on top instead but ran out of time as I overslept slightly. Will try that tomorrow. However it does seemed to have made a small difference as ussually by now I will be reaching for a snack however…

Mmmm I like the sound of the ones you use, but will see if I can find those or at least the EAS or Desgner Whey. Thanks for sharing!

Can't say I have ever tried that but I do like vegemite so maybe I will give it a go!

Yes I have done the same, I look at my carbs, sodium, fat and overall calories. I pay no attention to my sugar and sometimes I even ignore my protein as well. Not sure if that is a good idea or not but I find I go over that almost every day as well. Mostly just from eating a chiken wrap for lunch and having some sort of…

If most of your sugar comes from fruit than I wouldnt be too concerned. Those are natural sugars, it is the processed sugars that you need to be concerned with. Your body actually needs natural sugar, and natural sugar is much easy to burn as well. I wouldn't stop eating fruit, though my doctor did say some fruits you…

Now that sounds like a healthy and yummy idea. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!

I have the same problem, I drink two glasses of milk and bam I am over. Maybe try looking at where your sugar comes from and try and find products that are the same food but have lower sugar, or substitute foods with lower sugar. You can also try sugar substitutes for if you put like sugar in your coffee for example.…

Mmmmmm bagel, now that sounds really good. Though all bagels I have found seem to be over 100 calories, and that is just the bagel itself.

Thanks, sounds like a great recipe. Must try it one morning. Can I ask what protien powder you use as I have never used protein powder before. Thanks

Thanks so much for all your comments, I like the idea of adding more protein to breakfast. Maybe I shall try it one morning and see if I can make itto lunch time without getting hungry. If not I think I will just opt for heaklthy snacks. Unfortantly I have very lil time in the morning to cook, but I think I might have to…

Hi, I'm a 21 year old from Melbourne. Feel free to add me :)

As long as your not pigging out too much then taking breaks is ok. After all your body isn't a machine, it does need a few breaks. I usually have one day a week where I do nothing, just to give myself a rest. As long as you try and exercise 4-5 times a week then you will be fine :). Besides when it comes to weight loss…

Maybe try abb exercises like Pilates. It isn't as effective as running or stuff, but can still help you loose weight as it works your stomach muscles and sit ups do help you loose fat. I know when I started doing a 1 hour Pilates class a week I was slowly loosing weight. It's not much fun but it's something :)

I agree, loosing weight is different for males and females. I am 21 and I always like making friends. I find friends help, even if its just saying well done on my small accomplishments or offering advice when I need. I try and do the same to my friends as well. It helps keep us motivated to continue weight loss journey by…

I had the same problem when it came to exercise. I HATED it and when I did I felt so sore and tired. So I tried to find a way to enjoy it. Being stuck in a gym doesn't work for me because I feel so insecure. I live in Australia and I am lucky because it has so many beautiful parks, so now I just put music in my ear and…
