Shellitz

1) Started building our own home (with our own hands :happy: ) 2) Finally found the courage to get help for my anxiety disorder 3) Am now under 60kg and finally got there the right way - by comitting to MFP and exercise 4) Found that daily exercise makes ME happy 5) Made the decision with my fiance to start trying for a…

I sometimes do if it is 'that time'. It's weird, I don't have big ones but if I am feeling a bit tender and agitated they just feel in the way so I find it more comfortable to pop a sports crop on to keep them in front of me away from the dangers of underarm squish!

Asthma giving me grief today - had to swap my walk for some Yoga. Still no sweets though :)

I am aiming for around 55kg (120 pounds). I have been stuck at the 60kg barrier for a while now - but this morning I finally dipped under it by 0.2. I won't record this as a weigh in until I see it on the scale for more than one day. Here's hoping it wasn't just a empty eating day (was feeling a bit off last night and…

Loving that it is summer here, I have stocked up on Mangoes and plums, yum! We can put a big fat no in that box - I am sure of it!! So far - I did not get up for my walk before work HAHA. But I did get very close to getting up early so maybe tomorow I will succeed. I have booked a walk for tonight with my bestie so box…

Stock up on fruit girls it's candy if you want it to be!

Ok this challenge I promise to give a much better go than the last one! I can resist sweets (I think I can I think I can I think I can...) and the 30 min walk everyday....well I'm going to attemp that BEFORE WORK which means up earlier. Hang on, that is a challenge in iteself yeah? Lol

[/quote] Which app do you use? I'm an avid yogi and I'd love to have a way to bring yoga with my on vacations. [/quote] I'm using All-in Yoga: 300 poses & Yoga Classes. It's by Arawella Corp.

I cannot tell you how great this app has been. Best 99c I ever spent lol. Full of info, loads of programs even without purchasing the premium version, full video examples and info on all individual poses, free background music downloads, and the ability to create your own routine if you were so inclined. I seriously…

Yay - I've had 3 attempts and have managed to last a little longer each time, so hopefully I'll be able to get through the whole program in one go soon. Sounds good - now if I could just get into the habit of getting up and doing it before work.....lol

Absolute fave is www.taste.com.au If you sign up you can save recepies in your 'ccokbook' and and categorise them as you wish.

I just don't buy it becuase I love it so much lol! If its not in the cupboard I can't just grab 'one little teaspoon'. Which I would do a lot...

Thanks Em :) Thankfully I have not had any pain after I finish, which helps me selieve that it is just like starting any other exercise, like sore butt after spin and sore legs after pump etc, it will go after a few sessions. I tried again last night and it was still a struggle but I was fine as soon as I stopped, didn't…

Oh no - I am a dirty quitter!!!!!! Can't stick to this challenge I am avoiding it like the plague! :frown:

I use it in my tea every morning now. I find it super sweet so i don't use anywhere near as much as I would of normal sugar or equal. Here in Australia it is available in the supermarket - same section as the sugar and artificial sweetners.

So close to the being under 60kg! Im pumped!

I recently changed mine to 1100 before exercise - i'm just experimenting as I have really not been losing much on 1200. Some days I eat back, some days i don't, but because I am hopeless at weighing my food portions (I have a fairly good eye from lots of baking experience, but I am sure I under and over estimate a bit) I…

Oh no - I was in this situation last month, I sprained my hip joint and it was very....VERY unmotivating. Made it really hard to give in to resting yet not get that 'stuff it I'm over it' mentality. Chin up :)

Hi kids! I'm from Melbourne :)

I hear ya!!!!!!! GrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRrrrrrrrRRRRR I feel like I've put on two dress sizes overnight! I haven't of course but I do feel like a puffer fish!

I like the pushing the ab crunches thing. I am TERRIBLE at ab workouts and avoid them like the plague. This might make me less of a whimp. Also - I thought maybe as a side challenge we could make an effort to try one new form of exercise we haven't done before every week. If it's a new class, a diffferent type of dvd that…

Thankfully - building my house has contributed to some exercise minutes this week! I am hoping to lose a zillion kilos once we start painting! hehe. We are so close to finishing ths month's challenge - are there any suggestions as to what to set for our next challenge?

I am pretty sure this is a large contributor to the fact that most of us shorties have really tall men :laugh: The top shelf is important dammit!

ARRRGH TOM always comes when our challenges are due to finish and so I weigh and it looks like I have done NOTHING lol STUPID TOM

Look out - I'm a real girl now instead of a fairy lol :( Oh how I wish i was a fairy :laugh:

Amazing dinner - very low cals but feels like cheating :) Zucchini pancakes: Serves 4 1 Cup Self Raising Flour 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1 & 1/2 Cups buttermilk 1 egg 1 Zucchini (about 150g) grated 3 Rashers Rindless Shortcut Bacon 1 Punnet Cherry tomatoes 1/2 of an Avocado 1/2 small Red Onion 1 Garlic Clove 2 tsp Balsamic…

I used to play WoW, mostly on weekends as my non gaming fiance HATED IT if I was on too much. But I had a falling out with my friend (my co-WoW pilot) and now I don't play anymore. And I don't really miss it, I thought I would but I fill my time with so much that I didn't realise how much I was missing out on by sitting on…

I have been an on again off again user of this site (and others) for quite some time. It always seemed like so much hard work and nothing moved on the scale on any sort of permanent basis - so I continually gave up. Something in me has changed in the last 3 months or so. I have knocked around 2kgs off and seem to be…
