never in my life have i really had a butt until now, lunges and squats etc, they really work! I actually for the first time in my life have definition between *kitten* and thigh. it used to kinda just merge into one. Even as a young teen! I thought with puberty I would finally get an *kitten* but no hahaha. But yep, lunge…

I hate it. I am there to work out, not to socialise. Maybe if I wasn't married and was actually looking... and he was hot but not up himself (haha too many of them at my gym!) then I wouldn't mind. But as it is, I much prefer to be left alone!

the view from my gym is rugby fields however on the tv's in the cardio room, i can nearly guarantee an ad will come on for some yummy baking show. every. single. time!

I LOVE bodypump! Yes, start low. Don't be too shy to tell the instructor it's your first time - go to them before the class and they will be able to show you what you need to get and what weights will be best (at least thats what I did on my first time, and found it very helpful). Prepare to be sore tomorrow!

you look great amz, and you totally rock that bikini!

if its something nice then outwardly I roll my eyes and ignore... inwardly im flattered and mentally fist pumping the air saying "yus!" lol.

Jnhu72: love that pic of your eye!

thanks, I apparently am eating about 500 too little calories on my workout days. I am going to sit down tomorrow when i get the chance and rejig my calories and start logging again till i get used to eating more

nothing wrong with them IMO. I onyl eat one a day at the most simply because between me and 3 kids thats 4 bananas a day (lucky hubby doesnt eat them!) and they arent cheap lol. I limit all fruits to one a day of each variety between all of us, that way we get lots of different fruits in (apples, bananas, plums, kiwifruits…

i still have it, even though im quite toned, and not carrying extra weight. some people are just genetically prone to things like that. Ok, so the fatty bit was bigger when i was bigger but as i've shrunk it has to - however it has never disappeared. The turkey neck is the other one. Its not as obvious now I have lost…

Thanks for all the answers. I think I need to invest in a sweatband. I love the look of the sweatybands.com ones but phwoar, international shipping makes it veeerrrrryyyyy expensive lol. Will have to just get a sweatband from the local sports shop Or if anybody from New Zealand know where to get sweatbands similar to the…

I stopped logging for several weeks, just kept tracking my weight. I did fine, my weight maintained. I found iw as getting obsessive about food while i was logging which to me isnt healthy. I was getting anxious when my calories eaten would reach my maintaining level - i was so trained into eating fewer calories to lose.…

ok im back. I bought one of the elastic around the head headbands today but it just slipped straight out - didnt see any with rubber on it, may have to look in teh actual sports shop and see what they have. May try the hairspray thing though! I do straighten my hair, which makes them slip out really easily. Thanks for the…

I hate my belly but love my legs

hehe!

Yes, I too have lost my boobs, and I miss them. I have taken to wearing push up bras haha

i drink 2.5L on average. sometimes more, sometimes less. (that equates to about 10 cups of water)

yep, my pot belly. also had it before kids. gotten good at sucking it in though lol, many years of practice! and my chin. awesome family trait there, if i carry ANY extra weight, i get a double chin.

im from NZ, currently living in Whangaparaoa (north auckland)

1.6kg (3.5lb)!!! I was shocked lol. That was in 7 days

you look fantastic! well done!

thanks. Food I just followed my calorie allowance, tried to limit sodium etc, but Im nto one to diet, I still ate all my treats etc, and I have had many a bad eating day. Exercise I have been going for long walks (about 8km) 2-3x a week at a fast pace, and done the 30 day shred which has given me tummy muscles (and i have…

you can definitely see hte difference, you look fantastic!

ok first time trying to post, i think i have it though... I started at 66.2kg (145.9lb) but in the before photo i had already lost a couple of kilos (about 5lb), finished at 59kg (130lb), i am 5'7

looks like it might have been a typo by whoever entered the details into the system, being 93cal and they accidentally did the 3 twice. yeah id ring them and make them aware

i just did day 10 of level 1 today. this is NOT what I want to hear haha

ill join, im up to day 3 (level 1), just did that this mroning. I am probably going to take 6 weeks to finish it though, as i dont think ill get the chance to do it on the weekends, but I figure even if I do it once in the weekend, its one less day at the end, and it will add up. But weekends are busy with 3 boys, a…

ive always thought 2 was the ideal.... we have 3 lol, and i wouldnt be without any of them... but 2 is still ideal IMO. Definitely no more than 3!

The one we currently have here is The Sport Food company protein powder, its 21g protein, 4g carbs, 2g sugar, 113cal. I believe its stocked in the supermarket (New World anyway), as im 99% sure Dh brought it home from work

I ha my 3rd in jan '10, so hes 19 months now. And I got married in March this year, was hoping to have lost all my baby weight by then, but i couldnt do it with exercise alone (silly me thought i could still eat the way I was and lose the weight... um no). I started MFP nearly 6 weeks ago and I have lost a bit over 5kg...…
