88.2kgs today (194.4lbs), so I lost 900g's (1.98lbs) over the last week. Not bad. I had a good week, ate pretty well, walked the dog a few times (it rained most of the week) and I'm feeling good about things. I can't find my tape measure though, so not sure when I will get around do doing measurements.

I can convert from kgs to lbs, that's cool. I will have to opt out of any exercise challenges for the foreseeable future. I snapped four ligaments in my left ankle a month ago and it's healed a bit, but not a ton. I can walk for about half an hour max at a very moderate pace and then hurt for ages afterwards, though it's…

What about one of those bikes with a handle so you can push it and it won't tire him out so much? We have one and it's great.

And I'm just lazy ;) Actually I was out of the house all day, posting on my iphone or ipad. Which reminds me that I'm home now and should probably do my measurements...

Ok, here we go. 90.1kg Will come back and edit to do measurements later as I'm not at home.

Tomorrow is Monday here (your Sunday for those around the other side of the world!) so I'll be weighing in in the morning. I'm not sure if I'll have time to do measurements though. Are we supposed to just post them here or what? Also could I request that if anyone starts a new topic, like for each week, that they come back…

I am tentatively in. At the moment my family are in cootie hell (end of winter here, the damn viruses are attracted to us like flies on dung) and I am recovering from busting about four ligaments in my left ankle, but I'm not getting anywhere on my own steam and could use some motivation and support. We are getting over…

Saliva isn't pre-made and stored in your body, your saliva glands constantly make it throughout the day and they increase production as you eat to aid digestion, just like your stomach increases production of gastric juices. The average person produces and swallows up to 2L's of saliva every day, you think that's just…

hahaha, yes! The first time I did it my legs were super jelly, which was really bad as I had to drive to pick my kids up from daycare afterwards and driving was SO hard! I also couldn't do anything the whole way through. Jumping jacks were by far the worst, though the bicycle crunches at the end were also killer. Now I can…

Your body also produces extra fluids to aid digestion.

I have a Polar F6 and love it, however they are now discontinued. I think the equiv to that is an FT6, or the next one up is an FT7. My SIL has an FT7 and it's massive compared to my F6, which is fine for her as she's big boned, however my wrists and hands are tiny and it would feel far to clunky for me. Hers supposedly…

Just be careful of the dingoes on Fraser Island and don't go near them or feed them, big fines if you do and they can become aggressive when fed by humans. Always watch small and young children when there are dingoes around too, they might seem tame but you cannot trust them at all. I haven't been there myself, but I hear…

I'm in :) I'm Bee, also from Brisbane, but way up the other side to you, Jackie. I'm not new to weight loss, but I am reasonably new to MFP. I have two personal mini challenges going too, 5kgs by the end of August (already down 1.4kgs) and do the 30 Day Shred the whole way through (today was day 1, no end date for that…

I'm in Brisbane, about an hour from the Goldie. I don't spend much time down there, prefer the Sunshine Coast, but I can answer a few questions. June is winter, yes. This site has average temps for this area http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_040214.shtml Though they can get higher or lower, depending on the…

I've done WW before and I would plug my calories in to somewhere like this and 29pts including free fruit and veg did work out to be about 1200 calories most days, so they do factor it in somehow. I lost pretty well on it, it's just the cost of the membership that puts me off these days.

I've always been amazed that my 4yo has pretty good abs. When he sucks his tummy (which isn't fat, he's a healthy weight) in you can see the definition of the muscles. It's really weird. ETA - I don't see anything wrong with the kid. He's doing it because to him it's fun, and he's helping promote fitness in other kids. The…

This is amusing, as I'm an Aussie and used to live in Berkshire! DF and I lived in Newbury in 2005 and 2006 due to his work, which was in Thatcham. Now we're back in Brisbane.

Yup, me too. Originally from the NT, now I live in Brisbane. If anyone wants to add me, feel free :)

The PP is right, PCOS never just goes away, unfortunately. You can reverse symptoms through diet, lifestyle and medications, however you will always have the syndrome. Last I heard (which was a while ago, so things may have changed) was that they were saying that for most of us it has a genetic component, which means that…

Addiction is addiction, no matter what it's to, and any addiction is legit, they have done many studies watching how the brain behaves within addicts to prove this. Someone with an addictive personality who doesn't have the skills and support to deal with their triggers and handle their addictive behaviour can get addicted…

It is so much worse with two kids who both came via csec! My first especially was bad as it was a complicated delivery and my incision ended up being twice as long as what it should have been. Wow, NOTHING short of surgery is going to fix my belly and get rid of the excess skin. And this is not a weight issue, I have…

Another Cyster here too. Sucks to see so many of us! I'm Australian but I was diagnosed while living in the UK in Dec 2005, however symptoms kicked in for me in 2001 yet all the Dr's could tell me was that I needed to eat less and lose weight (that was creeping on at an alarming rate with no change in diet and lifestyle…
