yeah my mother was on it until she got her insulin under control. It's given her a lot more energy and finally allowed her to lose some weight along with exercise. Interestingly it's also given her some taste buds back and she enjoys more food again !

Hey that work out is intense eh ! lol just like Jillian intended it ! - is it the one from the dvd ? do you have the book as well ? as the book recommends rest days and it varies the muscles you work each day - especially at the start of it ! Your muscles do need recovery days to build and burn calories so don't get the…

Yeah you guys do it tough ! - I don't think people appreciate how hard it is on your own - there really is no-one else to fall back on and the job you're doing is so important ! Ignorant people are very much all too quick to judge and I just hope one day something happens to change their perspective ! Aww - you didn't even…

And all of you who's partner's are away a lot ! Due to a death in the family my partner's had to go to the Chatham Islands and nutrition and exercise are the last things on my list ! I don't know how you do it lol it's stressful enough with both of you there let alone when you're on your own ! Anyway just wanted to say…

I think this might be the post you're looking for: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/3047-700-calories-a-day-and-not-losing?page=1%2523posts-19051 It's very hard to get your head around eating more to lose weight but it does work !!

Lol thanks - she was a bit prem and not the most straight forward pregnancy - she's a very good size now though ! :happy:

gee there are a lot of people clued up about this ! - awesome to see - would be great if my dr was a bit more clued up about this also ! lol maybe I should get her to check out this site as all the recommendations I seem to get is eat less, exercise more ! Thanks for that info ! and I shall let you know what the dietician…

lol nice - made me giggle !

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

ha ha ha ha where do you find this stuff ??!

Awww tooo cute !!! :tongue:

Yeah that's the crazy thing eh - when I would eat whatever I wanted (including junk food) I would lose weight quite noticeably ! And since I started logging my food and eating up to my calorie allowance I have felt so much better (my partner and daughter will also agree I'm a much nicer person lol) I've had a few bad days…

Am i right in saying there seems to be a big trend here that people are finding it hard to eat all their calories and coming in under their recommended numbers ? I've never been small but after having my daughter 17 months ago the weight just kept coming - despite cutting back my food (and breastfeeding till 15 months) and…

Go you ! awesome to see people getting the results here - you've obviously put the work in and earned them !

I'm in agreeance - fasting is great if you're looking to undo all the good work numbers 1 &2 have achieved - also great if you're looking to have a blood sugar crash the next day and take another couple of days to get your body back up to speed so you can exercise to your potential again. Come on people - starvation as an…

Our bubba's had heaps of problems with that right from the start. We tried heaps of water and a tablespoon of corn syrup. The prune juice or kiwifruit were the most effective though. In the end we got some lactoluse from the dr as she was getting constipated all the time - turns out it was her intolerance to gluten though !

yeah in NZ we're all about kilojoules too lol I'm forever converting to calories to log all the new food on here. Sounds like you know what you're doing though and you've gotta cut yourself some slack - sounds like a pretty major upheaval for you and if you've only gained a couple of pounds you can't be too far off the…

Lol yes they do us proud - oops I edited this recipe so the sodium will be less - it did say 2 tablespoons but way too much so 2 x teaspoons is a bit easier to take ! It's almost the same as what we do here too but this was the only one with the nutritional info and tastes pretty good !

Is this the same as fry bread ? In New Zealand we do that and I know some areas in the US do the same as ours - check out this recipe lol 282 calories - Navajo Fry Bread II SUBMITTED BY: SAUNDRA PHOTO BY: PaigeCentral "As far as I know this is the original recipe for Navajo Bread. It's is great with honey and butter. The…

That's awesome !!! it's a hard job reminding yourself that you do need to eat those calories to keep up with your weight loss - I feel more convinced now !

Another suggestion would be to get your dr to check you for polycystic ovaries - this causes so many things that affect you losing weight - trust me I know ! There's so many variables sounds like your best bet is to wait for your move and get a new dr as there's so many tests they can be doing for you.

Chch NZ !! good to see the kiwi's out in force lol !
