Australia but live in Suzhou China which can make food somewhat tricky to source

Love Love Love to travel.... have visited 38 Countries lived in five different ones and have no plans to stop. We are doing the Trans Siberian this coming Summer and cannot wait... the only downer is sometimes its hard to get net access and I lose my days logging in :( but I still log my food. I hope everybody gets to…

Thanks for fixing it for me xxx

Hi I am an Aussie but live in a tiny country in the middle east ... Qatar... life is very different here.

I eat my feelings....

I simply got lazy... I had a cold and got tired, I thought it would be ok and it wasn't I have gained 3lb. I am struggling to get back on track but my lovely hubby sent me an email with two photo's six months apart and I am blown away at the difference. I wish I could figure out how to post them Tomorrow is a new day, I am…

It works for me, I walk for for 60 minutes in the morning and 60 minutes at night, I am swimming three nights a week and zumba two nights a week. I have a rest day and while I do get tired I miss it on my rest day. I know people think it is too much but it works for me... No one else can do this for me but me Meg xx

YAY !!!! good for you .... such a great effort. xxx

Hi I don't exactly take the day off but if I want something I will have it. I have found that I give myself an extra 300 calorie crazy day which means I can eat extra but when it come down to it I often don't use them all. I have also had a big mac when the weight loss slowed down to shock my system and it seemed to work…

Try almonds... they are chewy so it takes a minute to eat them and you only need a couple at a time to help with the grumbly tummy Good Luck xxx

go and either brush your teeth or chew some mint gum.... then the ice cream will taste awful if you try and eat it ... YOU CAN DO THIS ... ONE MEAL AT A TIME XXX

I really think you need some time in the naughty corner !!!!!

I had exactly the same problem.. so I bought a cheap yoga mat and step from the board onto that and it has made a huge difference to my knees and ankles. I use a couple of huge books to anchor each side so it doesn't slip and its great I also use it for other exercise dvds too. Does anyone have any suggestions for new…

Good for you Michelle, you can do it ..... this is a great site, people are so supportive, feel free to add me I am an Australian but do not live there anymore One step at a time Meg

Well said .....

It sucks doesn't it .. but you recognise that you are in that place and are resisting..... go brush your teeth or chew some gum so if you do find yourself binging.. you won't enjoy it and hopefully won't do it One step at a time xxx

Wow.. that is life changing ... you should never have to apologise for talking.. this is the ideal place to talk about big changes that are going to happen.. because for a lot of us we understand that these life pressures are why we have issues with weight and food. I think you will be ok.. you are able to talk to your DH…

We had very very yummy chickpea burgers (DH and son added wedges) they worked out well and were tasty plus kind of felt like junk food but wasn't. I also made a vege taco soup that was only 98cal a cup Meg

Hi I am not sure it will help you but I got hold of a book called Women food and god and it really really helped me. Its not full of preaching it just helps you figure out why you are doing this to yourself. I also brush my teeth if I want soda or chocolate as its tastes awful after the toothpaste and I find I don't want…

I think you have taken the first step.. which can be the hardest, I have a long way to go but have decided that I am taking this one day at a time. My first goal is 5kg /10lb and I am nearly there already. In the past i would look at the total i need to lose and give up but today when I saw it I realised that when I reach…

My husband can be a little like this too... so I figured out that if they want pizza or shakes etc... I agree and then make something for myself or order iced water. This has had an amazing effect on him and my son. Both have now lost more weigt than I have ...grrr (pleased they are making great choices). I also have for…

Thats amazing... you have worked so hard and are now seeing the results .... YAY

Are you doing WW now ? I am trying the calorie restriction and while its slow its starting to come off now Good luck
