All I do is aim high on my vegetable intake - I try my best to have vegetables at breakfast, lunch and dinner most days. That is good enough for me.

Hi I'm also in NZ feel free to add me. I lost a heap of weight two years ago but have put on a bit lately so need a kick up the bum. I am consistant with exercise, but I do love my food.
-
go for a swim on board, walk around the ship, use thier gym, when you do have a drink ask for diet mix - ie vodka and diet tonic - then get up and boogie - that'll keep the cals down. Enjoy yourself and just focus on exercise - a little bit each day. good luck :-)

I buy dark, dark chocolate I prefer 70% cocoa solids - I allow myself to have 1 or 2 small squares of it & I MAKE myself suck it rather than chew it - it really satiates my sweet tooth and I don't need to overindulge
-
NO you are not strange - the kids are telling the truth - yes they will need to learn to mind their manners, but really if you are fat you are fat - I never told my kids off for telling me I was fat because I WAS FAT and I knew it - it was up to me to do something about it, not them. I did tell them that it's okay to be…

I have the same thing happen - new exercycle says I burnt 400 - MFP says 342 - old exercycle used to say 312?? Thinking of investing in an HRM unless I can borrow someones for about two weeks just to check calories burnt...

5'3" Fattest weight 193 lbs MFP starting weight 20 June 2011 180 lbs Current weight 139 lbs Goal weight 132 lbs For now, just wanting to maintain my weight over the Xmas period and lose the remainder of the weight in Jan then start toning the flabby bits.

Ah - okay it's been a year - your levels may have changed and it may be time for you to go on some medication. I would recommend you visit your doctor and ask for a blood test for your thyroid levels.
-
It's the only thing I have taken since having the RAI treatment (since being hypothyroid). It's worked wonderfully for me. So you can buy this over the counter??? I must keep that in mind next time my friends travel to the UK. I had to go to my doctor and tell her how to go about prescribing it - she knew nothing about it…
-
That is what I take - it's called Whole Thyroid here in New Zealand - and it's on prescription not an over the counter medication.
-
I guess your levels are considered 'under control' - I assume you have had blood tests. In that case - to answer your question - it's an excuse - I have been hypothyroid for over three years now - yes I was overweight, but thanks to MFP I have lost 17 kgs (37 lbs) and my BMI is in the normal range. Your hypothyroidism is…
-
Can I ask which thyroid supporting vitamins you take??
-
After years of being Hyperthyroid, I have had RAI and am now Hypothyroid - I am on medication and my thyroid levels are under control and in the normal range. Why can't you take medication? And are your thyroid levels within the normal range - if they're not - you are fighting a losing battle.

I chuck a hard boiled egg into my salad to add extra protein. Rice crackers or corn thins with salsa is a good snack.
-
When people ask me - I tell them I have lost 17 kgs (37.5 pounds) in 5 months. However sometimes I question them and say do you mean from when I was at my biggest/heaviest - because then I need to add an extra 5 kgs (11 pounds) to what I have lost. BTW - well done you.
-
This ^^^^^
-
OMG - I am sick of hearing from people that it's time to stop and just maintain. I still have 5kgs to go (11 pounds) - yes, I do look way better now at a size 10 than I did at a size 16 - but (respectfully) - BUTT OUT!! I am just over the healthy range for my BMI and I want a little cushion as I know maintaining will be…

I was about 8 or 9 (and a little chubby) and my adult aunt said to my mum about me "she won't be fiting that dress for much longer and if she keeps eating like that (we were at a restaurant) she'll be in real trouble. She sure is getting fat". Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Both her and her daughter are obese…

Ha - I am exactly the opposite of you - I LOVE fresh strawberries, but can not stand strawberry flavoured anything - will not eat strawberry yoghurt, ice cream.
-
I'd use the number on the bike and look toward purchasing an HRM.

You'll think I'm mad (as I did when given this little gem of advice prior ot having children) but regarding your 12 months maternity leave - it's actually EASIER to be at work than home full time with a baby. Babies are very demanding.

My family and I love this recipe from the Healthy Food Guide (NZ) Quick tomato and sausage stew Try using spicy chorizo or vegetarian sausages in this recipe to vary the flavour. Ingredients cooking oil spray 1 onion, sliced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 4-5 good quality sausages, sliced 400g can chopped tomatoes (flavoured if…

Ewww - I don't but my hubby used to when he was a kid - think he just did it for the 'yuck' factor. I'm sure it won't kill you.
-
Sometimes leftovers, but in winter I usually have soup with cornthins and in summer I usually have either a hummus and salad sandwich or salad & corn thins. Boring, but it works for me.

I have just completed my second day today - woke up sore this morning - calf muscles, pectorals, and abs all sore. Must be good as I wasn't even aware that I had abdominal muscles - just thought I had two spare tires!! Went and bought some weights today - was using soup cans - trouble is the weights I bought are 1 kg each…
