It doesn't matter, they are both units of mass. For logging I'd say you'd have better results with grams however.

Sydney gal here! Feel free to add me if you're active :)

I loveee substituting cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes! Here's a link if interested > http://nomnompaleo.com/post/1657598867/best-make-ahead-side-garlic-cauliflower-mashed But to be honest, nothing can beat roasted cauliflower with some EVOO, garlic and herbs!

1 frozen banana (makes it creamy without having to add ice, which I find dilutes the flavour), 1 cup of milk (I use almond), 1 scoop of ON extreme milk chocolate whey (or whatever), 1 cup of spinach (you can't taste it!). That's my basic formula! Some add-ins I like are chia seeds, flaxseed, pb2 or maybe some greek yogurt!

Does not eating breakfast cause you to snack more throughout the day, or does it cause you to feel crappy until lunch? If not, don't feel you HAVE to eat breakfast. Alternatively, I make myself smoothies for breakfast most mornings, why not try that?

I suffer from pretty severe anxiety and used to be very unstable with my eating habits (alternating between eating very little or binging until I felt sick despite not being hungry). What helped me was acknowledging the fact that I was using food to distract myself from my other issues, and figuring out a healthier coping…

For me I just see it as a responsibility I have to complete when I don't have the motivation. If I sit in bed and think too long about how much I don't want to workout or cook something healthy instead of takeout, I will very likely give in. SO instead I don't allow myself the time to doubt and just follow through with the…

I smoked socially first year of University, and was well on my way to becoming a daily smoker. When my friend was diagnosed with a form of bone cancer though I quit immediately, feeling sick and ashamed of myself. Btw for those trying to quit who HAVEN'T yet read Allen Carr's Easyway I highly recommend it (3 people I know…

Something intimidating lol? I'm gonna say bouncer

When people ask how much I've lost on Christmas I'm definitely using this! Definitely puts things in perspective

I've always been self-conscious about my overall appearance and definitely been struggling with how I look now 30lbs down. I feel like I need to lose a bit more because I feel like my legs are too big, however I'm also depressed because of how deflated my once D cups breasts are. PLUS the stretch marks forever indented in…

Yeah, before I used to feel like my boobs were my defining feature so I was pretty sad to drop almost 2 sizes. But honestly the benefits of being fit, healthy and with more stamina outweigh a big chest in my book! Plus I now like my stomach and arms a lot better!

I'm from the Sydney area, feel free to add me! :blush:

I was listening to Stinkfist (Tool) when doing the washing up lol.

A bearded, funny gentleman who would take me on exciting adventures on his motorbike. That would be nice.

I use Natvia's stevia sweetened drinking chocolate mix and love it! (10 cals per serve) Also the Jarrah white hot chocolate sachets are INCREDIBLE (not sugar free) and seriously like a real hot chocolate for me. Pretty sure these are both only Australian products though

- smoothies (blending) are easier to track calories - you're missing out on a certain amount of nutrients with juicing But it depends on your definition of "better" overall

Have you tried Pb2 for peanut butter? And for most things I'm an "everything in moderation" kinda person, but I know for a fact nutella can't be in the same vicinity as me without the temptation for a spoon every time I walk past... sigh

I've got the workout but haven't started yet, feel free to add me! I was thinking of beginning by incorporating some of the workouts into my regular sesh instead of getting straight into it just so I get used to it though, not sure. I feel like if I begin straight away I will have trouble being consistent... definitely…

I also have them after losing 30lbs and to be honest I don't think there is much you can do apart from gain weight. I had a rounder bum before (more fat obviously) and didn't have the dents, so maybe it's just inevitable for most women when they get to a certain weight ? I have pretty well defined quads so I'm just trying…

Last year I used to drink this "Dare Iced coffee" milk drink multiple times a week AND not exercising. One 500ml bottle has about 450 calories I think.... I haven't touched them in a year, still miss good iced coffees though :(

Just to add, I tried Twinings orange and cinnamon herbal yesterday and it was quite lovely!

I'm not skeptical of the effectiveness in terms of weight loss but it just seems like an unhealthy relationship with food to me (repeatedly restricting then feasting on large quantities?) and they may not binge during, but people I've known who've tried ADF have quit and gone back to their old habits most of the time…

Still don't understand why people would subject themselves to intermittent fasting instead of a consistent calorie deficit. I don't have any experience with the IF method myself, but it definitely seems like a diet which could easily spiral someone out of control and lead to binges. But if you'd like to give it a go, it's…

This is definitely not my usually breakfast but I'm having a green smoothie with - 1 frozen banana - 1 cup of spinach - 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk - 1 tbsp Pb2 - 1 tbsp white chia seeds Haven't actually made it yet so let's hope it tastes good!

Going for a bushwalk today with my Dad which will be about 3-4 hours of walking Strength training tonight maybe?

You don't have to buy Lorna Jane or expensive brands to have good workout clothes. I bought a couple of cheap workout shirts/leggings from Target/K-mart and they've still lasted me. HOWEVER i strongly advise you to buy a good sports-bra even if you spend a bit more than you'd like (trust me on this)

and just to reiterate this http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10017066/my-last-word-on-motivation

For a single serve pie I'd say 400-500 (Coincidentally I was doing some pie research after having a chunky beef one from Sergeants the other night)

Peppermint and creme brûlée by T2 Trying to have less coffee so I'm definitely bumping this thread :blush:
