If the problem was never the food you were eating and only the wine, then there's no secret for transitioning to your old diet. Just eat as you used to and, if you drink a bottle of wine a month, then accept that you'll have to burn off those extra calories at some point or you will gain weight again. I have logged my…

I just posted this in the main intro. page before I discovered there are groups! So here's a bit about me: I'm 27 and had my first baby 18 months ago, I gained 30 lbs which I have not yet lost. I moved overseas to Australia in 2008 and have gained about 15 lbs a year ever since as my life is much more sedentary here than…

I haven't read the other posts, so I'm sorry if this is redundant; if you are eating at a deficit of your maintenance calories, you will never be putting on muscle. The reason you can see your abs now is because your body has eaten away all of the fat that was covering them, not because you have built them bigger. If…

I am doing round 2 and have lost 1 kg a week so far. For me, the diet as it stands is not maintainable for life. I need a little flexibility so I allow myself two treat meals; one Sat and one Sun at dinner. I haven't always used the one on Sunday though. . Her meal plan is basically just to eat a balanced low GI diet. Aim…

As an American living in Australia, I actually think cherry pie and especially pumpkin pie are much more American than apple pie. There is apple pie everywhere here. Also, meat pies. Gross. But apple pie is one of the only fruit pies I ever see. You see a lot more "tarts" here.

Ok awesome! Doesn't take much to sell me. I just googled the quest bars and OMG the flavors! I can't wait to try them, I'm so glad I thought to ask this here. I'm also really happy about the simplified recipe. The label on the Atkins bars read pretty scary. But for a single bar and a cuppa to keep me full for 6 hours or…

I am just under 5'9", weigh 230 ish and have no idea what my real size is anymore. My measurements are 41-35-46 and I wear anywhere from a 14 to an 18 depending on the store. I live in Australia where they make no affordable clothes bigger than a u.s. size 12, so I order all my clothes online from the USA. I'm pretty sure…

It's those salad dressings that are killing you in the sugar department. And the bagel things, but really the dressings are really high in sugar! I'd suggest replacing your salad dressings you're currently using with a home-made balsamic and vinegar one. As far of the carbs go, 22 of those carbs are pure sugar from your…

I agree 100%. I think that meat and dairy subsitutes are awesome while making the transition, but it's so much easier to just whip up a nice curry! I'm lucky that I became vegan in Australia where the Thai and Indian cultural influences are about as strong as the Mexican influence was in the food I grew up with in Texas.…

I have to order mine in from online so I just buy whatever's cheapest and they all taste about the same to me. I never eat it by itself, I add blend it with tofu, almond milk, and almond meal to make a cheesy sort of sauce and put it on pasta and vegetables. It reminds me most of Parmesan. I made this recipe up the other…

I'm a vegetarian by definition, but do keep more than 99% of my diet vegan. It's a lifestyle I'm moving towards just like you. Being vegetarian is painless for me. It's so easy it's laughable. But, because I live in a very rural part of Australia without a lot of dairy alternatives, letting go of dairy completely has been…

Just under 5'9", weigh 223, waist is 34.5" and hips are 46.5" so I'm like, a super pear shape. Got a lotta booty. I will always wear bigger sizes than I look because of the junk in my trunk. I wear a size 16 now. Goal weight is 135 lbs which should be about a size 4 or 6 for my body type. :)
