  • I have a Polar FT7 and love every thing about it. It was a little pricey here in Australia. I got it on ebay discounted at AU$145- but brand new. I am sure you would be able to find used ones cheaper - make sure you get the chest strap as well. Easy to use while out and about. Perhaps the only down side would be the light…
  • I heard a financial speaker on tv around 10 years ago when my husband and I were in a similar position. We used his system and now own our house freehold and have another 2 properties which we rent out. We have 2 cars under 5 years and have been able to travel extensively overseas and within Australia. 70-20-10 and "PAY…

  • Hey, I am an Aussie but my family history goes back to Sheffield, so I suppose that is something. I love this site too and it is the only thing that has worked for me lately. I have a great support group and the more friends you have the better it is :-) I have sent a friend request if you want ....
  • Alien resurrection Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy
  • Hey Candice, You seem to have lots of support in this challenge. I will be in it. I have 10 kilos to lose before 20/8/2010 and I need every bit of encouragement and support. Will weigh in weekly though cos it is only 6 weeks until my due date!!!! But will keep going until the 3 months is up. PS What do we win :-)
  • Wow, thank you so much. Will definately do it. My daughter bought me some hand held weights for my birthday. Now I can use them :-) Was thinking of something different to mix up my routine a bit and this is just the thing.
  • Could be a 'spur' , get it checked out by your gp.
  • Sorry can't really help you with that one, but I put on approximately 1 kg this week (3 days in TOTM). I will now keep an eye on when it arrives next month cos it would be really interesting to know

  • Banned for spelling using wrong (useing???)
  • You can change your goals at any time. Its up to you. I actually found when I first logged everything in I put my height at a massive 2 metres tall!!!! When I recalculated it my calorie intake went to around 1560 per day, however I found that to be too much and I didn't lose any weight for a couple of weeks. Now I have…
  • I am the same, dreaded wine and birthdays, not to mention all the food. My 45th Sunday week ago and my daughters 18th this weekend with a planned 3 day celebration coming up!!! Arrrggghh - have sent you a friend request if you wish to ( I live in Australia) so we can help each other through. I have been with MFP since…
  • I love it so much I posted twice :ohwell:

I have a great group of MFP friends :laugh: that make it more fun then facebook :-). My next C25K workout is the 2nd week Workout 1 :bigsmile: I have…

  • I have a treadmill. Not sure where you are in the world but notice you are in kilos. My treadmill calculates calories and kilometres (well I hope its kilometres, could be miles) done as well as time. Not sure if you can do that on the ab circle pro. I queried the ab pro when I first was interested in the exercise thing…
  • Mmm protein bars sound handy for him to have in car while he is out and about doing his work. All great ideas thanks, just need to show hubby now :happy: Be interesting to see what his weight loss is this first week anyway.
  • Hi guys, I'm in Adelaide. Add me if you want, some of you already have :happy: . Great sight, love it.
  • Hi and welcome to mfp. I do Wii Fit Plus which can calculate your calories used. If you have the plus version you can add it to your exercise the same as any other exercise you do. Just go to the add exercise icon log in your minutes and how many calories burnt.
  • Try having sips of water. I knew my prep worked because when I drank water it just came straight back out the other end after a few minutes! Good luck.
  • Congratulations and well done. I have been on bp tabs for the past 2 years as well. First I had high bp and they thought it was the contraceptive pill, went off that and hubby had the snip, I still have high bp. Lost my weight the first time 5 or so years ago, I got down to 68kg and it was very hard for me to maintain, but…
  • Can you prepare your own salad vegies and snacks from home and take them to work?
  • I was wondering the same thing last night. I use Wii Fit Plus and over an hour I burned 200 cals. I just did some balance exercises for 20 mins, then boosted it up with a bit of cycling, skateboarding and hoola hoop for 20 mins then finished with around 20mins of yoga. I enjoy it and dont really mind the numbers, I figure…
  • Well you have made the first step, congrats to you. I find this site fun as well as an opportunity to find and meet new friends in the same boat. It is certainly hard to lose weight after you have a baby, apart from the fact you have no energy if you have been awake all night!!! My kids are nearly 18 and just turned 15. I…

  • Thank you all for your support. Weigh in tomorrow so I actually can't wait now, after reading all your comments :flowerforyou: . I have been so good since Tuesday, although with time constraints I haven't been able to exercise. Work, work, work, and healthy eating - that's my life this week. :happy:
  • Fresh fruit, or tin fruit with natural yoghurt for a change. Most days I have the old piece of toast and I must say being Australian, I have vegemite and it is so yummy with slices of tomato on top. Somedays I also poach or scramble an egg and have that on my toast (usually weekends) or there is the old banana smoothie…
  • Lony - I have lots of nieces and nephews who couldn't pronounce my name Leonie, and could just get Lony (hard enough to say let alone putting the auntie in front - can you imagine saying auntie leonie when you are 2) and Pony just because it rhymes :smile: . So I was known as Lony from then on. Then when I was a teenager I…
