I've decided to give up drinking for the next month or so as it is seriously detrimental to my weight loss. It is SO hard with it coming into the social season but in reality, it's only a few nights I'm giving up and it's going to make all the difference to my weight loss. I'm quite lucky in the sense that I'm not a huge…

It's been nearly a year and I've lost nearly 30kgs. It's getting harder now that it's summer and I'm going out and socialising more! I want to lost 35kgs total so a little while longer to go

OMG! I do this too!

As a side note, how great of your fiance to come up with an idea like that! My BF would never EVER run that far with me, let alone come up with an idea like that! Sounds like a keeper :)

I don't really know about the c25k thing (I started it about a year ago but gave up after 4 weeks). I have taken up running again though, but this time I do it on the treadmill which I find a lot easier. I can run 5km on the treadmill but give up after a minute on the pavement. However, I have friends which cannot run on…

I have heard about this! But I worry that it's a scam! Sounds too good to be true

I Love this NSV! It's nice to hear one that's not about the size of someone or the compliments they've received! Well done :)

Oooh this thread might be a good place to pose my question! I do the oblique sit ups on level one (I think they're one round two?), but I don't feel any burn! Should it be hurting? I'm not like amazingly fit or anything, but I have done some sit ups like them in my step classes? I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or what!…

Arghh I so want to see them but the photos are cutting off :(

You do realise that you're supposed to go up a level after 10 days, right?

Ooooh I'm just starting the 30DS! I'm up to day 5 tomorrow. have you guys noticed a huge difference in your body since starting?

I'm on 1200cals a day! I tend to have the same thing every day because I know that it works. Well, maybe not every day because I definitely have my days where I stray a bit, but I know what to eat if I am being good haha

Cool I will add you now :) I had a look at your profile and it seems like we have a bit in common! I just turned twenty (a week ago) but can't wait till my 21st and have everyone shocked at how good I'll be looking! Also, I can't wait to wear a bikini! Have never worn one in my life! Saturday mornings will be good for me…

I'm in! Just over 10kg's before Summer is my goal! x

Don't even mention birthday cake! It's my birthday next week and the BF has literally planned about 4 days worth of events. I can just tell the scales won't be happy with me by the end of the week. Ironically, I've been working SO hard to get down to a specific weight by my birthday and it's probably all going to go to…

Totally would if I wasn't going away for the weekend! Maybe I'll join in from the 5th - 10th ;) Best of luck for everyone doing it tho!

I would be but I'm not getting the DVD till my birthday on the 7th :(

Me too! I was just wondering the same thing

OMG! That's sooo true! I had a friend who was short and slim. I went and stayed at her house once and we had takeaways for breakfast, lunch and dinner so she did not eat healthily at all. Two kids later and she's gained a heap of weight! Now I feel like I'm the skinny one in our friendship... not that it's a competition or…

I've been overweight my whole life, but I would say I gained a whole lot more when I met my boyfriend. I thought it was great that he ate a lot, cause it meant I could eat a lot too! I didn't really notice all the weight that came on with eating it all though. It gets hard to lose weight sometimes because he is a big eater…

I'd say it is because your body gets used to the workout so doesn't burn as much - you've got to keep mixing it up in some variety :)

Who needs dating sites when you have MFP? =P

I weigh myself a lot too (probably up to 3 times a day, although I'm often told how bad it is). I find I normally lose 400grams over night, but to gain over night?! That seems crazy to me!!

Tell yourself you're going to go out and do it only for ten minutes. If you are still hating it after 10 minutes, then stop. But most the time we just can't be bothered starting :)

Hehehe a lot of the answers are funny. I'm not funny so I don't have anything to contribute. Sorry!

I was just over 100kilos when I decided to do something about it (I'm from New Zealand). I'm currently down to 79 so have lost 21kgs. It's taken me about 8 months so far, but I never started with the intention to lose weight and I know it could have taken me less time if I have set my goals down from the start. Feel free…

Weighing yourself during your period is probably why people advise you not to weigh yourself too often. It is such an unpredictable time. I gained 700 grams about 2 days before my period started. Since then, I've been carrying on eating as normal and exercising and have lost 1.2kilos. I'm nearing the end of my period but I…

I was hesitant about getting a gym membership because I wasn't sure it was worth it. Being a student I was worried about paying $17.90 a week when I knew I could run outside or something. But it started to become winter and I started making excuses about running outside when it was cold or rainy. I decided to take exercise…

OMG! Definitely use peanut butter to fill up your calorie count. I didn't realise how many calories it was till after I logged it this morning.

I stand corrected. Learn something new everyday!
