Hey Paul - I follow a program called Precision Nutrition which is an Australian based company taking the world by storm.....and one of the level 4 PT's that is very highly regarded is a guy called Josh "D i c k inson" in Wodonga......his website is here: http://www.physique-essentials.com/…

Awesome job - be proud of your achievement :-)

Yes, yes and YES!! ^^^ I stopped logging and counting calories in June 2013 - still right on the same weight I was then. Over the 3 years that I had counted every calorie I ate I also learnt a lot about "good nutritious food" vs empty calories. I eat well every single day - I don't do "cheat meals" , but still do mental…

Shannon - you really are THE poster girl for the healthy MFP lifestyle - you really have it nailed - eating real food - living a real life - and kicking butt with all your outdoor activities. I always love seeing your posts - you keep it so real - the many ups and the occasional downs we all go through.... Just LOVE that…

Wow - "we certainly don't need 2000" - huge statement - and I don't agree.... I am a woman - 53 years old , 5'9 and I eat around 3000 calories a day - been maintaining the same weight now since September 2011........you will find quite a few woman here that successfully eats 2000 calories or more..... I would say the…

The best exercise is the one you actually DO consistently - so if walking is something you will do - walk. If you have access to a treadmil, elliptical - and you will do the exercise - go for it... My advise - dont overthink the "what will burn the most fat" initially...just get moving - and then increase both effort and…

Chucks :-)

Egg whites - a great source of protein. 1 cup = 28g's I make omelettes, but also add some to my smoothies.... I have no issue with the yolks - do eat some of those too, but the whites is a great source of protein - no carbs or fat... I do use protein powders too - another great way to get enough protein - I aim for 150g…

Increase Protein, protein, protein - the miracle ingredient for not getting hungry. Make sure you eat some at every meal. Increase your vegetable intake - lots - again the fibre helps with satiety - and you can eat heaps... Less carbs than you would normally eat..... And try and eliminate any sodas etc.... Fruit is great -…

Some lessons learned from a Kiwi about going to cold places: Be carefull of buying too warm a jacket / coat Layers are your best friend - especially merino layers if you can.... Check out your local ski / snowboard shops in Melbourne - they sometimes have second hand gear.... I visited Europe a few years ago and bought the…

^^^^^ this ^^^^^^ PT can really help with setting up a programme.... I had a knee replacement 18 months ago and spent hours on the exercise bike - and aqua jogging in the pool..... More info on your surgery, and I can most probably try and give more specific advice, but really suggest you see a PT - surgeons cut you - PT's…

Wow wow wow - looking amazing!!

Suspect your step one is blend mango flesh and coconut water together?

Chalk helps for me until about 85kg's, anything over that I still need straps..... I do agree though - if you have chalk at your gym - try that first - if that does not do the job - straps :-)

Awesome job - you are rocking it - good luck with the next 50!!

Totally agree with this - I always say to people "If you want it bad enough you will make it happen" What is your "why?" And how bad do you want it?

Interesting article I read this morning - a bit of salt might not be such a bad idea - the type you sprinkle on your food yourself - not the pre-packed processed salt bombs.... http://suppversity.blogspot.co.nz/2013/09/chloride-heart-disease-overlooked.html

I had some issues after my knee replacement surgery. Physical therapy combined with good posture - I find that when I "slouch" it is much worse, so I have learnt to really sit up straigth - try and take as much pressure off the SI joint as possible - straight back, shoulders back :-) especially when I am travelling long…

Started as size 26 - 52 weeks later I was in size 14 :-) good luck - it is so rewarding - and the benefits and "feel good" starts way before you get to the "end", so dont get despondant about how far away it seems - every dress size down is a major cause for celebration - and shopping for cuter clothes :-) How - Eating…
