I'm from the bay of islands. Add me if you want :) It helps me understand peoples goals/losses when its in kgs, oh and calories

Done

Well hello and welcome to mfp!

Hi, I'm in Brisbane. I started at 92kg and am currently 78kg. I'm aiming for mid 60s. Dunno if it matters but I'm 168cm 5"6?

Depends on what fruit or veges too. For me it's corn, broccoli, beans, zucchini, apples, bananas. I just make sure not to eat them all in the same day.

Ummm, is an e-cig or nicotine based gadget easier to give up?

There's only one way to find out. Give it a go and good luck. I signed up to do a 5k walk n hubby thought I was crazy..... It was only a walk lol but he was the main one telling everyone that I was doing a 10k run and how proud of me he was. I was too embarrassed to correct him. I'm doing a 5k run in December and I haven't…

Alrighty! On my way there now lol. Thanks

I hadn't even considered e-cigs, so thanks for the suggestion. I assume vapour/vaper is the same thing?

Hi all, I'm doing the colour run here in Brisbane this December. I don't like running, never have, but every so often that 'quiet little voice' tells me to 'just run'. So I have committed to completing w1d1 tomorrow.

Well, bit behind and that's ok. I start my w1d1 tomorrow. Will update when I complete it.

Awww congrats! Keep it up :) Were you a heavy smoker to begin with? I am so scared of piling the weight back on, because I know food is gonna taste sooo much better.

I haven't committed to quitting yet but I accept it will be a natural progression. I will be using willpower, determination and a lot of prayers lol. I also heard vitamin c, but I didn't take it only because I never got around to buying some.

Thanks for your reply, I have thought about buying a cheaper one first and have heard good things about the sunbeam models. Keep hunting I spose

I'm keen for some more friends... most of mine have gone inactive. Cheers

I joined this group to get some ideas for transitioning, but it doesn't seem too active. Good luck with your journey

I have been feeling like this lately. I do my meal prep the day before... I know I don't want what's right in front of me, but I don't know what I want. Or, one day I might eat like I've been starved, and the next day don't want to eat at all. Exercise generally makes me ravenous but then have a bite of sushi and I feel…

Cucumber, mint and lemon is nice too. Or berries with mint. I get bored of water sometimes so its nice to switch it up

Good stuff! Sometimes it's hard to get the balance right on being gentle with yourself and pushing yourself to adapt to a very different way of living. Add me as a friend, if you like. It's always good to have a cheering squad

Thanks, sounds yummy

Although I have a gym membership, for me it's not a 'be all'. I try to be active in my day to day activities and of course watch what I eat. Having said that, I try to go to the gym 4 days a week mostly to do weights and it's my me time.

Sorry for your loss Carolyn. I hope you do take care of yourself in these early days and the long days to come. I don't have any tips, as its taken me a few years to be ok with my grief. One day at a time (hugs)

I have a tablespoon of psyllium husk with my breakfast. Works for me

Thanks for the info. I did this, even though it was out of disappointment and lasted alot longer than a couple of weeks, but it worked

I got 'gee your *kitten* is small!'. My response was 'damnit, I been doing squats'. Imo, I never had a fat *kitten* to begin with lol

My body has done a right flip. I use to be small on top n bigger on the bottom, and now I'm top heavy. I'm still in that 'disproportionate' stage as I've dropped 2 sizes in pants and nothing on top. I know my belly is going to be the last to go. I'm about 7kgs away from my tw, so as it has been already suggested, I too…

Some of it depends on consistency. I wanted to get into the habit of having breakfast after not having breakfast for about 20 yrs. I told myself 'have brekky ONCE this week', the next day I told myself the same thing, and the next day and on and on. It took about 2 weeks of consistency to form the habit. That was a year…

I pay $44 a fortnight. Reasonably well maintained equipment, 'free' breakfast, toiletries provided, 24/7, and 10 minutes drive from home.

Definitely this!

I would see what my neighbours have and swap (assuming they have vege gardens and such), mmmm I'm thinking about mulberry pie right now, dehydrate them, freeze them, mix it in a green leaf salad, but pie *sigh*
