Either change your profile as suggested or up your calories via adding your work to your exercise.If you feel bad for logging work like I do and choose not to change your profile Id say log perhaps 2 hours of walking for each 12 hour shift(depending on how much walking you think you may do for that specific day),that will…

My ticker...Staffordshire Bullterrier called Tessa.Paid a small fortune due to her colour of white. Few years later the white is now dotty and she looks like a dalmatian.

Is what set me on this path from the start.Perhaps that also applies to others.My fat photo motivates me daily.Im almost at my goal weight and now understand the healthier aspect but initially I walked the path of 'Physically im eww'.How we got here I feel is not so important as to how we carry on:) Stick with it,there are…

I just got over a flu that traveled back with me from oz.I didn't wish to eat and wasn't hungry so I stuck to a protein shake with frozen berries,yoghurt and low fat cottage cheese.

The honesty in this one cracked me right up:)

Same for me.Since then I've upped it twice,first to 1350 was still hungry and most recently to 1450.Not so hungry now:)

I live in an isolated town in the country,there are no social groups,no team sports and very few jobs.This also is not the country I grew up in. So I branched out.I found a pool to do water aerobics,I made friends online and although it can be disheartening in regards to knockbacks for work,one day that one person will…

The way you have to look at it is this...19 minutes is a great start.Try again in a few days(or if your sore) once your back to form and hop back into it.Go for 20 next time. Ive been at the weight loss goal for 3 years with the last 6 or so months really getting stuck into cardio(was doing weights previous to that).The…

Well done:)Shrinkage in this case is great,lol!I have kept myself motivated purely by my measurements.When you don't think your making progress pull out this chart and you can definitely see losses. Great work in my opinion.

Well done:)Stick with it,push yourself and you will be surprised at what your body is capable of.Keep it up!

This.Sure eating healthy will lose weight but ultimately somewhere along the line you have to incorporate exercise(my opinion). Baby steps. If you wish to eat workout.If you do not wish to workout thats fine,stick with the calories and you will lose weight.Hardest part can be getting your head around it,stick with…

Ae Sports active 2,comes with heart rate sensor for your left arm plus a motion sensor for your leg.It has 2 programs,a fitness starter to get you going,then from there you progress to the 9 week program.Its a combination of cardio,resistance band and covers alot of areas/muscles in a fun way.Has stepping,cardio…

I have popped mine at sedentary even though I generally work 4 to 5 mornings a week for 3/4 hours a shift.Its a very physical job but I dont log it or adjust my activities.I find this forces me to exercise and keeps me on track.If I get super tired I eat more.I put sedentary because I come home and park up.I guess its a…

So love your honesty:)

For my protein shakes if im below calories and wish to up them and need extra goodness I add cottage cheese,frozen berries,milk,the powder,so many other things if you wish to adjust such as bananas,cream cheese,yoghurt,or freeze the bananas. Also Yes i read her post,and yes theres an issue.I guess after years of being…

I do arms and thighs twice:Pwaist,butt,chest,belly and hips.Although i did measure my thighs individually once,one was bigger....cracked me up no end.Im cms though. And yea,only just started losing my belly last few months after getting near my goal weight. Also some of those measurements are impressive,well done.

I personally feel the 'get some help' comment was unnecessary.She is eating,she is just not eating enough.There is a decent variety in her diary and she is making an effort and recognizing that there is an issue. She said she has issues with meat,not all foods.

Try to focus on what you think you can do,not on what you cannot.You made a week,think of what you can do next week,the week after and so on.Try to not get into the what i think its what I CAN!!Be surprised what your are capable of when you say 'bugger it,I can do this'.Grats on a week:)Also take one day at a time:)You can…

The few days i went back through your diary i see no water at all.Try starting slow,if you dont like water cordial may help?I cant drink massive amounts of water as Ill be on the dunny all day and feel very bloated but I attempt at least 5 a day.I hate water so I have cordial.

perhaps your body is storing water because you dont drink enough?Water is important as is eating,if your struggling to get to 1200 and feel your missing essentials such as vitamins and minerals you could try protein shakes,they will at least give your body partially what it needs.If your not eating enough and not taking in…

If im not hungry and its late and I have excess calories and FEEL i should eat them due to how hard I had worked out I make a shake.I brought protein powder,plus I add bananas/frozen berries,skim milk,splenda and thats like 300 odd.If you want to make a delicious thickshake add cottage cheese or cream cheese,plenty of…

Tbh I dont have the income either to be doing a regular shop for fresh fruit and veg.I come from australia where evrything is grown there and moved to new zealand where much is imported and the quality is significantly lower than what im used to.When I shop I stock up on tonnes of frozen veg(whatever is on special) and…

I will put it off for the entire day doing the 'ill do it later,ill do it later'Sun goes down,time for bed then i turn around and go 'oh look,i ran out of time^^'.Convenient.

Nope.Having said that,I was 2 yrs ago alot larger(approaching goal weight now)and everything i did was difficult,so as far as im concerned its a personal choice,if you are large and even the simplest things can be a workout log it.If you(like me) barely even think about heavy breathing and you are essentially halfway…

I have days I wake up,say bugger this no workout.(they happen alot now).Ive been at this 2 years and now almost 24kilos and Ive had many patches of completely giving up.They last perhaps 2 to 3 weeks of doing no exercise but still in a way being careful of what i eat.This was always been about how i saw myself,what i want…

lol tomorrow could be sore as hell!!Keep it up,one day at a a time:)

You look fantastic and gorgeous.Well done!

Perfectly said Kalrez:)see above *points*
