Hi There This is my second attempt at losing weight. The first time I did well but in isolation and didn't share my goals or aims with anyone. I obviously feel and now I would have started again a little different. I wondered if I could join your group and share my confessions and victories perhaps and hopefully keep on…

Have I missed results I was wondering how the Purple team was going!!:smile:

Welcome to the team and site you will do fabulous!ly well I am sure!

Firstly welcome - you have come home !! and we are delighted to share and experience the journey with you. Your Mum must make you sad because I know it made my heart feel a size too small. This site is truly wonderful and you have access to all the tools and informationyou need well done Moreeta

Whoo Hoo I have reached my running first goal! Today is the mark of two weeks running 5 times a week for 30 minutes and now I am including some sprints. Some days I have sore shins but mostly it is all joy to move again. "I love to Run" and you guys inspire me heaps so thanks!!

Hi Purple Team, Had a tough weekend but back on track - any suggestions on how to survive the weekend would be appreciated, however all that said back on track now. Off to the Gym shortly to try make ammends. Have to say though without Purple Team and MFP would have given up already though - that's why I'm overweight.…

Hi Fellow purple team, I must be living under a rock but I have only just read that we won the challenge this week WHOO HOO!! that is fantastic. congrats to us all. My good news is is my Boyfriend / Husband is now getting up with me every morning to run with me, and this morning I made him be my personal coach doing…

I'm ashamed to say but my weakness is eating crap when I am on my own & in secret. I just turn my mind off momentarily and eat what ever is in sight. The incredible thing is I can go a week even 2 and then I bring myself undone in 15 short minutes It's like when I'm on my own I become a self destroying stranger, not all…

CONGRATULATIONS!! Thanks Banks your information has changed the way I eat and am approaching weight loss. I am now eating more and losing more, to say you are my favourite person at the moment is the absolute truth. Keep up the posts for all of us newbies we need you!!:smile: :laugh: :smile:

So what is the recommend daily intact of sodium? I never even think about it...

Thanks heaps, still in shock cause now its a 1/3 and my maths should be better! At least its another goal to aim for...my first minin aim is to lose 1 more kg and that will be my first 5kgs down Many thanks for looking up for me, I am trying to work and do MPF at the same time..I am addicted to this site. Cheers Moreeta

Hi there, I am hoping someone can enlighten me with information regarding body fat %. I recently joined the work gym and saw the scales in the corner, like a curious cat I decided to jump on and see. Holy Cow!!:embarassed: My Body Fat is a whopping 38% nearly 1/4 of me is fat. Good Grief!! So what is a healthy Body Fat %…

I have ordered a copy of the 30 shred but how long it will take to come from the States to Australia will be interesting to see. I am happy to say that I am now running every second morning again as well as…

Welcome and enjoy the journey.

Hi There, For years I have struggled with sore shins off and on and my favourite activity is to run. In desparation I was talking with a nurse who was also a runner and her advice was to take 1 nurofen before or after the running each day. As a common anti inflammatory I saw it as worth a try and I personally have never…

This is such a common story for so many of us so take heart you are not alone. My Advice: Now is your time so don't even think about giving up on yourself...you deserve all of this and better. One of the best ways of coping is talking it with others, and here you are so Congratulations - How Awesome are you for finding a…

HI Cantelitas, where do we look to see the team statistics? thanks

Go Purple, Welcome to our new members :smile: in the quest for success I have just had my first session with the Gym instructor and have a new program both cardio and weights to work to. Yesterday I came home hungry and ate all my dinners worth of calories in my snack. :frown: Normally I would have gone "oh well" and had…

From A Newbie, thanks so much. I honestly did not realise you had to eat your exercise calories. Yesterday for example I ate 1300 cal 100 over my limit, this left 430 exercise calories available and I thought I had done a good thing to leave them out of my eating! I even went to a drinks night with friends and ate no food,…
