I drank at least one coke zero every day..... It was the one thing that I was not yet prepare to give up. Mid June this year I did a 5 day cleanse - which included giving up the coke zero..... Of all the changes I made in lifestyle over the past 24 months this was by far the hardest thing to give up! I realized that it was…

I always carry some almonds as emergency rations in my bag.....10 to 15 almonds is all I need if I am peckish, or in a place where I can't get the right snacks. I eat one or two portions of almonds ( a small handfull) most days.... For a treat I would eat cashews, pecans or brazil nuts, but I find it harder to limit those,…

LOL - Oh goodness - be kind to yourself ;-) Here is a true story - Over easter I ate TWO Lindt milk chocolate bunnies - and it did not even show on my scales!! Have a nice healthy dinner tonight - and just carry on like normal tomorrow....these things happen - it is what you do next that really matters, and beating…

I weigh all my meat when it is raw - and log it under that weight - most of what you lose when you cook it is moisture ( especially if the meat is lean to start with)

LOL - I had a total knee replacement last Friday, and won't be able to drive my car for 6 weeks.... Last Thursday night I left the gym after my last workout, and promptly burst into tears because I won't be able to get to "my gym" until I can drive again - I sobbed my little heart out for 30 minutes..... I phoned my…

First of all you look super cute..... Big yah for getting your eating issues under control - here is to many happy healthy days for you!

ooohhh - gazpacho - yummy!! Try this one with shrimps - loooove it! http://www.bodyrock.tv/2011/10/18/gazpacho-with-shrimps/

^^^^^ Exactly this - no secrets - got my butt of the couch, and started eating less crap - more vegetables, good protein, very little sugar ;-) ...... Smaller portions, weigh and log everything you eat, count calories........and exercise to get fit and healthy and strong (and be able to eat more)

First - Queen with Freddy Mercury (1984) Last - Roger Waters - The Wall (2012)

+1 for Zuzana and her ZWOW workouts - short, sharp and kicking butt!! You can find her on youtube, facebook - and tomorrow she launches her new website - will post the link here once it is up :-) Oh - and do ZWOW workouts 3 times a week - there are plenty to pick from to give you variety...

You know I read this and was soooo tempted to get snarky - but I will try not to be. I am going into hospital for a total knee replacement on Friday - since the beginning of the year I have been in agony most days, but that has not stopped me from working out 5 to 6 days a week - and most days get 500 calorie plus…

I was in Sydney at the end of May and bought some nice long workout pants and thinish long sleeve T-Shirts at Target. Some nice singlets at Rebel Sports.... And then spoiled myself with a some Lulemon's Studio pants and Cool Racerback *Zipper tops :-)

This morning was: 30 minutes on the stationary bike, 30 mins lower body weight training, 10 minutes battle ropes Tabata..... Tonight will be: 15 minutes boxing Tabata Oh I love weekends - double days!!

I have been a regular donor since I was 18 (so nearly 35 years now)... I now donate plasma or platelets, which you can do every couple of weeks - the tough thing about that is that you are tied up to the machine for an hour to 90mins - I tell you I normally cant wait for them to take the needles out so I can make a dash…

I eat only protein and vegetables for breakfast - normally I would just make an extra portion when I cook dinner the previous night to take to work. I also cook a whole heap of chicken up and then freeze it in one portion size containers that I can take to work for breakfast or lunch. Eggs - again I cook up a batch of hard…

Jess Ennis all the way - I just sat looking at her (and a few of the other heptathletes going - "dang I wish that was my body!!" :-)

Found this great article last night - and it really brought it home for me again why I am squarely in the weight lifting group (with some cardio in the mix) - I want to lose fat - not weight!! http://metaboliceffect.com//topic/38-nutrition-lifestyle.aspx Fat Loss Vs. Weight Loss Weight loss does NOT equal fat loss. You may…

Your diary is not open ;-( You can change it under Settings > Diary Settings

I am O positive - drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day - and it has not hampered my weight-loss (or if it has it has not been significant, as I am quite happy with my weight loss...) I also drink 2 to 3 cups of green tea a day - so maybe it helps to cancel out the coffee ;-)

The food you eat is rated as personal privacy - really - you come on here and tell people how much you weigh (and dont see that as a privacy issue) - and that you are not losing weight - and then start "privacy" about your food - mmmmm = sorry - just a bit weird... As others said if you ask for help you need to work with…

Bad idea - why waste your time "dieting" just to pick it all up in a few weeks once you stop - exactly what would you have achieved??? If you honestly want to lose weight get your head in the game, and make it happen - 1lb at a time - read the success stories on here - if you do it the right and healthy way you can be one…

Oh how wrong you are - the fat on our *kitten* (actually think it should be arses) is not fine fuel!! What happens when you are eating too little - and then making it even worse with lots of cardio is that you are using muscle for fuel - and not that fabulous fat on our arses ....... You can attack helloitsdan as much as…

/ As others have pointed out you are most probably not eating enough..... I see you have "friended" helloitsdan on here, so I suspect you have seen his roadmap - suggest you recalculate based on the tools in the roadmap (and then eat to those calories)..... On your question whether you should not exercise - no, no, no -…

^^^^ THIS - dont wait - get going right now - one step at a time - but there is always going to be something else in the way!! By all means have a few indulgences while your mom is visiting - but that should not stop you from immediately getting your head back in the game.... For me it really helps that I have / had a…

Nope - unfortunately it will not give you perkier (or bigger boobs) - but you can get some nice developed pecs in the process - and I just noticed in the past week that my "side boobs" are totally gone :-)

I use Photoshop Elements 10 to edit my photos, and also to store and view photos... but it is software you have to buy and install, but as photography is my serious hobby it is worth it for me.

One of my pals lost her wedding ring a month ago on the beach because it was loose - she is still absolutely devestated. Take it off now and have it resized - not having it for a week or two will be so much less painful than if you lose it for ever!!
