For me its the chips, or crumbed fish Instead of getting upset I allow myself to have a little chips now and then and some fish once a week or fortnight stops me from feeling like crap and the results keep coming. I used to crave soft drinks and crap but now I don't like them anymore not one bit don't even miss the crap.…

Don't be discouraged by bs studies that really kill motivation, I have read viewed a lot of those crappy studies and yet it has got me a few times while going through this journey to health keep learning new foods and you'll find some foods you'll love so much you wont miss the old habits. I still go out to restaurants and…

Its not easy this journey but its been worth it ;). and thanks for the warm welcome. really appreciated, once I am finally under 100 kilograms I will be back to where I was as a teen I have been over 100 kilograms that long :(

Hey there, I hope you achieve your goals feel free to add me on here if you like I am on a similar goal ;)

Keep doing your thing, family and friends do this all the times it gets to me too at times, though not exactly in the same case as you I am actually on the weight loss journey but when I am following a strict diet I am offered foods that are not on my list or made fun of for doing whats right for me. you learn to ignore it…

Sugar can be a pain in the butt to track I have had to cut down on almost all sugar, before I started my path to health I cant remember how many soft drinks I had a day, and junk foods and processed cereals and other things now I barely have any sugar at all, doing a ketogenic diet has helped me cut it right down something…

Excellent work thanks for sharing your success with us ;)..

Excellent work thanks for sharing your success ;)

I am finding keto low carb far more effective then my attempts at starch, I love experimenting with diets to find what works for me and what does not and explore new foods the keto diet I am currently on gives me far less grief then the ones I have been on in the past, though I would admit its more vegetarian since…

High Intensity Training has been the way to go for me In my first time joining the gym I did the 45 minute Spin Classes 3 times a week which helped me shred 30 kilos. the shorter interval sessions since moving on have also worked well for me building up sprint sessions on treadmill or bike etc.

I would consider it an achievement to make it more challenging try increasing incline slightly when you do it next even a small increase makes it that much tougher. but as always real out door personal bests are still gold as you did it outside you still did 5 k tho so good onya.

Great article I have actually been looking at becoming a vegetarian in the near future or fruitarian Raw Till 4 as a detox cleanse to help me iron out some internal issues. its damn expensive getting the fruit requirements but I honestly like the way I have been making drastic changes to what I eat as opposed to how I used…

Thanks everyone for your responses its been great reading this, I had a chat to another trainer the other week and he has given me something to shock things up a little. I also have had another trainer inform me to cut off some of my suppliments for a while and see what happens (Protein powders) I was having 3-4 a day to…

Totally agree you really need an alarm clock and to hit the sack earlier so you still get your recommended sleep it takes time as a person that could sleep most the day and stay up all night it was particularly hard to change I had to pull a couple of all nighters and all days to reset mine or slowly stay awake an hour…

Don't blame you its not an easy feat deciding to change but when you do it just happens over time. My goal so far has been to get fit and healthy and I am still working hard at it lost over 30 kilo so far and another 20 more to go.

Excellent work on your transformation. inspiration to us all.

I believe it does it also strengthens you up toning your body is great and weight lifting or body weight exercises are very good for keeping fit :) it has helped me drop from XXL to Large size shirts thanks to weight training and lifestyle changes.

Excellent work taking control of your health what an accomplishment.

Its a difficult challenge trying to overcome binge eating during my transformation (in progress) I have had to deal with birthday binge days visitors we haven't seen in a while and looking in my fridge to see more unhealthy options over the last few weeks I was back to drinking a couple of softdrinks a day noticing that I…

I love motivating…

I have found in my experience losing over 30 kilograms, 66 lb over a year and a bit what helps me cut the cravings and snacks is by eating consistently every 2-3 hours having a healthy High Protein meal with some vegetables to really help keep me feeling full for longer green tea helps also. just make sure you get a good…

Been fighting this issue as well its not bloody easy to get through I can tell you that mate after losing 30 kilo to get where I am training 5-6 days a week and eating every couple of hours then all of a sudden it all comes grinding to a halt I am at my second Major Plateau after only just 5 kilos I had one before and it…

Hi there welcome back I can use some friends we are all in this together :) feel free to add.

I think you have done an amazing job deciding to change your life and get healthy and fit remember sometimes journeys like this do take a long time it took me years to finally commit to it. when I did I lost over 30 kilograms. having children does make it difficult I have been looking into exercises you can do with your…

Started gaining weight in my teens as I was more into computer games and not very active it was a tough few years fighting a bit of depression at the time and things went from bad to worse. it took me years to finally decide to just get out and do something and I have to admit the decision has been the best one In my life…

I was wondering if you have a cheat meal once a week sometimes this helps me to move past plateaus
