It's not always that easy when you live with others who will buy it and have it in the house. My partner used to be a body builder too and he has the mindset that I can eat whatever I want in the weekends because that's what he used to do when he was training, It's really hard to turn down food that has been made for you…

The best thing you can do for motivation is the measurements. I only lost about 2 kilos over about 3 months. I was hoping for more as I'd been working really hard and started to think it would take forever to lose the weight. I took my measurements and was surprised to see I'd lost 7cm from my waist! After another couple…

I always go over my sugar allowance even though I'm almost always within my calorie allowance. I haven't alterered it but it has made me more aware of the sugars I'm eating. whenever I see the sugar allowance is way over I'll look through and see if it's just fruit or if all my snacking and yoghurts etc have put me over.…

Hey, I've been there and done it before too, I'm not sure how I let it creep up again but I'm pretty motivated to get back to my goal weight so I'm on here every day, feel free to add me if you like :smile:

Just peel and eat :smile: I've never frozen them though so not sure how they come out.

I've heard too much water can be bad for you, I can't remember how much was too much though, i think it's more like drinking too much at once rather than too much in a day like if you drank a couple of litres in an hour it might be too much for your kidney's to handle.

I'm in Henderson :)

I'm in Auckland, originally from Whangarei though...

Although I haven't experienced this myself I have seen the effects first hand and It is really hard watching a child go through that and I can understand how it can cause an unhealthy relationship with food later on. When I was a teenager I used to babysit a 9 year old who had recently been taken from her mothers care and…

I have always been a healthy weight hovering around 58-62 kg, but when I went from a job in retail sales which required about 8.5 hours of standing, to working in a call centre which requires around 7 hours of sitting each day. I didn't think anything of it and didn't change my diet or exercise at all and over three years…

I have always been a healthy weight hovering around 58-62 kg, I gained about 10kg during pregnancy but lost it fairly easily over about three or four months. What really screwed me was going from a job in retail sales which required about 8.5 hours of standing, to working in a call centre which requires around 7 hours of…

And remember it's about achieving your overall goal whether that's to lose weight or just have a healthier lifestyle, not making it look good on your food log. You still have to live life and enjoy it. Worst case scenario if you have a bad day and you're otherwise eating well is you don't lose that week or maybe you just…

My workmates do this too. I decided to (as well as lose weight) eat healthier and exercise more. They will do the same thing to me yet the other day i was craving something sweet so I ate a small piece of cake with my coffee in the afternoon, and I still haven't heard the end of it. I don't understand why they hassle you…

If I overeat by a lot instead of trying to eat less calories for the rest of the week I try to increase my exercise over the week to make up for it. Otherwise I end up hungry and eat many many naughty things. More exercise can only be a good thing anyway right?

I struggle with this too. My husband says he supports me but I was slim when I met him and he likes my chubbier body more than ever so he's never really serious about it and buys me boxes of chocolates and makes my favourite high cal meals. I do need to lose the weight regardless of how he thinks I look from a health point…

I tend to go the opposite way and choose the highest if I'm not sure. It seems to be working so far. It was tempting to choose the smaller option the first time but then I realised being honest was going to help me achieve my goal much faster. My husband asked me the other day if I had enough calories left for a couple of…

I'm 5'2 and 82 kg. I struggled at first but you soon learn which (healthy) foods keep you feeling fuller. Try googling veges that make you feel full. I find raw carrots and broccoli dipped in hummous as a snack usually fill me up so much I can't eat for hours. I have no idea but I wonder if raw hard veges like that take…

I use MFP every day without fail. I'm following an 8 week liver cleansing diet to kick start my weight loss so I'm also needing as much support as I can get to keep myself accountable. My diet for the next eight weeks is dairy free and almost vegetarian so I need to be really on to it to make sure i'm getting enough Iron,…

I'm in Aucklnand, I've also lost weight successfully before but I have put it back on (and some) after moving to Auckland and getting an office job. Now I'm sitting on my butt all day instead of being on my feet I need to make some diet and exercise changes. Currently floating around 80 kg and should be around 65 for my…

I sit at a desk all day at work, In heels so not much opportunity to exercise. I set little goals so I remember. Everytime I go to the bathroom I do Squats and every time I go to walk to the fax I'll walk the long way around the room to get there every time an email pops up I'll do a few leg lifts under my desk. Just to…

Hi, I've just started my diet and exercise plan 3 days ago. I'm 26 have three kids and I have about 20 Kilos to lose. Not sure what that is in lb's. I desperately need someone on my back when they see my slip ups on here :) Add me if you like.
