I meant it as an example of how different information from one source to another can be. If I only used the 1 calculator that told me I'd burn 569 cals for my work out and I took that as gospel and ate back all of those calories but in reality I only burnt 300cals, I've eaten 200 over my allowance. And if one does that…

That is such a good article! It's bang on about the fluctuations and such! Just going by the scales I've gained and then lost like almost 3kg just this past week.

I'm goung to play devil's advocate here a little bit and say you can lose weight without weighing EVERYTHING I have managed to lose a lot of weight without weighing a lot of pre packaged food. I basically just scan or add in the prepackaged item and generally adjust whatever amount comes up to add another 50cals (so if a…

That's really the only time i ever click 'complete diary' if I've eaten way more than i should've. Seeing the negative impact laid out in front of me really motivates me to do better.

I've lost nearly 30kg from fasting 2 days a week it's the easiest thing I've ever done to lose weight.

The "concern trolling" thing is a big one for me. I've lost a fair amount of weight, close to 50lbs people started asking me left right and centre what I was doing to lose weight I (now stupidly I feel) told people the truth I'd started doing IF and was seeing really good results. Ever since then I was bombarded with folks…

I've had such a bad week this week trying to get the workouts done. I have been doing other exercises though and I weighed and I have lost. This next week will be better ill be able to work out without the interruptions that cropped up this week. SW:100kg CW:97kg

Is that for real? Why would that make a difference? 😕 🤔 (it's going to be well over 35 degrees for the next few days here...seems like that's going to be bad for my weigh ins😂)

I know it sounds like really dumb advice but the thing that worked for me was just simply not buying them, you can't smoke them if you don't have them. When I went went to the supermarket I wouldn't go anywhere near the smoke counter so I wouldn't be tempted and id purposely avoid walking past tobacconists. If I felt…

Don't get sucked into buying brand names just because all the #insta-influencers swear XYZ brand is THE best brand! #theyrepaidtosaythat The 2 best pairs I have come from Kmart and they cost me $15 each they're amazing and I have a 3/4 pair (the other two are full length) I got from Big W which is basically the Aussie…

Funny enough, one of the modifications I make is to add more cardio 😂 there's a lot of moves in level 2 that I can't do. So I literally just jog around my apartment while those moves are being done so im not standing still doing nothing. Ive lowered the weights I use for level 2 as well because so many of the moves work…

I can't lift....does that mean by your standards I'll never be healthy?? 🤔

Just finished day 1 of Level 2....it nearly killed me!! I find lvl 2 the hardest because it's like every second move involves being in some kind of plank position!! It kills me 😰😰 *forgot to add I weighed myself too SW:100kg/220lbs 😓 (thanks Xmas!) CW: 97.5kg/214lbs

Work B*tch by Britney Spears. That song is crazy strangely motivating. The Steve Aoki remix of Mi Gente is pretty good. I also really like to listen to a lot of Hilltop Hoods songs. Leave me Lonely - Chase that feeling - Love it - Clark Griswold - Higher - Nosebleed Section... Honestly they're all good And a bit of a…

I picked the worst time to do the 30DS this week the weather is like 35+ all week Friday is going to be about 40-41! It's sometimes hard to get motivated to do the 30DS most days but when it's 40+ it's crazy insane

I've just finished day 3. Ive necer completed it before only got 2 weeks in and guess what? I got injured and couldn't continue on! Though my injury wasn't 3DS related I just fell off a deck and nearly broke my ankle, but I couldn't walk properly for almost 2 months so I never got around to finishing. Im not really…

I lost about 20kgs the first time I started using MFP seriously, I logged everything and I mean everything I changed from being a complete couch potato to being more active even completing the 30 days shred type challenges. I worked out at the gym regularly it was great. After awhile i thought "I've got this" and figured I…

Isn't there literally a thing called a hand grip? That was created specifically to work out your hand/grip strength and your forearms?

I spent time in Japan and ugh the struggle to find a decent coffee is REAL! I got sick of green tea REALLY quick! There was like 1 chain restaurant that did an alright cup I'd go out of my way to try and find the nearest store in whatever city I ended up in.

SEE look at the confusion here! Takeways coffee should not be that complicated :p I think I'll just stick to about 180-200cals for the coffee I have, sticking with the idea that it's better to over estimate intake than under estimate. Really I should get in to the habit of making my coffee at home in my reuseable take-away…

At least both your calves are in it together I have one regular sized one and the other my left is a good 2 inches bigger than the other! It's such a pain in the *kitten* because jeans and stuff will fit well on my right hand side but be tighter and less well fitted on the left. I put it down to me being left handed and my…

It's always just either a straight up cappuccino no sugar no flavourings nothing fancy or a straight latte same deal no sugar no flavours no full cream milk...im not sure what half & half even is and definitely no cream. I thought I was on to it when I started checking out what milk my regular cafe was using but I went…

No need to be so snooty about the OP using the word addiction in the title folks. I went from eating "standard" peanut butter to the "natural" peanut butter...the kind you find in the health food aisle with all the coconut oil and raw almonds. The flavour is AMAZING and a find myself eating straight from the jar every now…

It's fairly important to me as part of my morning routine after I wake up on my way to the loo I weigh myself then go to the loo and weigh myself again 3 times each time to make sure the number is the same. Lately it's been giving me the s**ts because that little s.o.b hasn't gone down in a while! and I recently moved my…

I come from a land down under! Really I should be in better shape seeing as were I live is very close to an incredibly beautiful walking track around a giant lake, but I don't perhaps use that as much as I should =\ other than that though living here doesn't really have much of an effect on my diet

This is pretty much the #1 thing. So many people start these diets like shake diets or no sugar no diary no this no that whatever and it's like thats great, but are you going to be able to stick to that rigid lifestyle for the next 5-10-15 years? If not it's not worth starting

I don't generally eat breakfast or lunch I normally eat food for the first time each day in the late afternoon about 4 is when I'll eat my first meal then maybe have a late dinner. I could easily go 24 hours without eating tbh as long as I can drink coffee I'm all good. I mean figuratively speaking im all good, obviously…

according to the scales I've only lost 1.3kg this past month, but my measuring tape tells me I've lost 2inches from my hips and my size 14 clothes are to getting to big for me now....If I just went by the scales i'd be depressed as heck right now!

I put some effort into finding out what kind of sports bra Serena Williams wears while on court. Because she's definitely not what you'd call "petite" so I figured if it can work for her it'll work for me! She wears Berlei brand (high performance range) I brought one and it's perfect (and actually NOT hideously ugly, like…

How effective is this if I tried to do it on a treadmill? Its winter where I live and its cold and dark by the time I get home from work so I recently joined a gym so I could get some exercise in and I would like to "get into" running but just not really to bloody keen to do it outside right now!
