Beer for me too! I am Australian and after a very long day in the hot sun, there is absolutely nothing better than a cold beer... I believe there is an ad that sums it up--"a hard earned thirst deserves...". Just one will do for me, though. I'm aiming for moderation in everything I eat and drink in order to be be healthy…

Hello! I'm in Melbourne, please add me :)

Me too!

By the way, I have a fitbit Zip.

Thanks for the tips, everyone!

sorry, the question is not well phrased. Wrong side of lunchtime. Let me know if I can clarify.

I love my fitbit too! I got it yesterday--before then I was hungry for no reason, haha. So far today I have burned 200 calories just getting to uni and doing the same walking around that I normally do. The difference is that I can now have a midmorning coffee and not feel starving... and not actually starve! I plan to get…

Thanks for your reply, lovely! I have had a long think about it and I feel like Myfitnesspal is actually making me feel more guilty than I should, and it's actually strangely causing me to overeat. I decided to stop using it about a week ago and I haven't binged since which is pretty amazing for me. I feel like it's time…

My user name is a stealth pick up line or euphemism for "i want to sleep with you". I am quite obnoxious like that. Also, I am totally into fashion.

Oh dear! I looked at it and you eat a lot of lollies and not much real food at all! And you don't get nearly enough nutrients. I didn't see fruit or vegetables.

I'm confused, because if you are netting 1200 calories, doesn't that mean that you ARE eating your exercise calories back? :S

Do you mean that your net calories is lower than 1200? What are your net calories, if not 1200? ARRHGHGHGHGH this is doing my head in! I was netting about 1000 net calories a day but I wasn't losing weight and then my period stopped and I'm pretty sure I was in starvation mode!!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I do weight training 3 times a week, and 5 hours of cardio a week (5 sessions) and I've also started to do pilates 3 times a week. I don't think I could possibly do any more. Also, I'm concerned with my net calories... I am aiming for a net of 1200 calories a day, and I will be aiming for…

And yes I'm talking about net calories!

But that's just the thing--apparently my MAINTENANCE calories for my goal weight is 1150-1250. According to Myfitnesspal, I'll get to my goal weight soon enough if I eat 1200 calories a day... and I'll have to continue eating 1200 calories a day forever. BUT according to other websites, my maintenance calories is LESS THAN…

Awesome, thanks for the advice!

Interesting! Ok, I will give pilates another go. I'm also interested in HIIT but I don't have a trainer and my gym is really ****ty, so all the cross-trainers are analogue. Yeah, they have dials on them to change resistance, and the computers don't turn on. I would be keen to try it running, but I am afraid of hurting…

Oh I should mention that I'm 5'1. So I'm slightly above the middle of my healthy weight range. I would ultimately like to get down to 50 kilos. Cheers.

Sorry didn't mean to sound harsh. It's just that when you are making good food choices, you feel so much better and you can eat more food. You need to eat a LOT of raw, fresh vegetables. Tuna, fruit, eggs. These foods will keep you full for a long time, and they'll benefit your body in so many other ways. Your skin will…

Hi there, I had a look at your diet diary and I hate to say this, but you need to some more reading about food. It's not just about calories. Your diet seems to be mostly made up of things like cheeseburgers, chips and milkshakes. While you're dieting you can have these things, but in your case these indulgences need to be…

Great, thanks for the replies everyone!

Also I just want to thank everyone again, I'm surprised at how many people are commenting.. .thankyou so much!!

One important thing I should have mentioned is that my period has stopped, which is why I got worried about being in starvation mode. Since it stopped about a month or two my calories dropped, it's almost certainly because of that. So this is frustrating! It sill hasn't come back. Also no, I guess I don't have the eat the…

Hi, no I don't eat out much but I do have to eat the cafeteria food (I'm a teacher). A lot of white rice. I hate it but it's all there is... my days are pretty tiring, I teach most of the day to little kids (lots of singing and dancing) so while they're not exactly workouts I do move around a lot. Yeah, there are days I…

Hi! Yes! Thanks so much for all the replies everyone! I live in South Korea so it's hard to avoid using quick add calories--most of the time I don't even know the names of what I'm eating, I just guess according to something similar that I recognise. Hmm... Maybe I'm underestimating the calories. I will try more though,…

Oops! Now it is.
