Day 1 complete for me! I did a test run on saturday to see what I was in for and I'm sore already! What weight dumbells are people using? I only have 2kg ones at the moment and they were way too heavy so I've switched to tinned tomatoes for now :laugh:

flick over to ACA and you'll get stories like - - OMG don't eat sugar, you'll die! - OMG don't eat fat, you'll die! - OMG don't eat meat, you'll die! - OMG if you don't eat you'll die!

That went well. :laugh:

Wow, how exciting and definitely great motivation. Good luck and feel free to add me if you like.

I'm having this problem now :( Working full time, studying part time externally, eating healthy and finding time to exercise. It's a real balancing act! I haven't been to the gym for 3 weeks now and thankfully my food choices have been good enough to sustain my weight loss. Just need to figure out a way to squeeze that…

I stopped about 6 weeks ago because I moved in with my BF and we no longer have enough room in our small fridge/freezer :( I am missing it heaps, especially the dinners as calories really add up quickly when cooking to please more than one person! I wasn't always that fussed on the lunches/snacks but I really enjoyed some…

Yeah and his favourite food is Potato! Dinner can be a nightmare sometimes :-D

Oh jeez, I'll remind my BF to enjoy them while they're there! lol

Go Broncos! Though I do have a soft spot for the bunnies :)

I'm currently 137, aiming for 127 :) finding it hard to budge these last 10 pounds!

I come on MFP and read success stories - that helps. I also rationalise with myself and ask myself if I am going to feel better or worse after eating the junk food. If it's worth the taste and calories I'll go ahead and log it and work my *kitten* off later on. After doing this for a while it becomes a habit, I don't feel…

I use the machine calculated figure which I understand might be a little enthusiastic. That being said though I tend to overestimate calories and don't log extra activities during the day which wouldn't fall under my sedentary BMR setting. I do workout hard and push myself big time so I think personally it all works out in…

Bahaha that's amusing! I ride a REALLY girly scooter around town, now I learn I'm actually burning calories while doing so? Snap!

West of Brisneyland!

That's interesting, so you keep the flavour and lose the calories? I'm going to start cooking everything with wine!

I thought that I was destined to have huge boobs forever, but the last few kg's I've lost - I think it was all boob!

I would still count it in some manner, you're not turning wine into water (or vice versa unfortunately). :smile:

It would depend on how much you drank out of the bottle while the fish was cooking :tongue:

Aussie (pronounced Ozzie) or Ossie as the Americans say :) Specifically Queensland-ish, apparently we pronounce our double o's a bit difference to the southerners like our Pool is Pewl, and theirs is Pull :glasses:

Hey Carls, Brisbanite here and welcome :) MFP has an encouraging atmosphere, good for what we're all here for. :flowerforyou:

oh and apples.... because they SUCK! can't stand having that **** stuck in my teeth :grumble:

Milk! It took a banana milk shake and an incident in Target to figure that one out! :sick: :laugh:

My BF is 17 years older. I didn't specifically go out looking for an older man, it just happened :happy: He's older but definitely hasn't grown up yet! :laugh:

My shoes have always supported me best and lasted longest when I have gone and had them fitted specifically for my feet. My last pair were Nike, now I wear Adidas - I personally require a lot of padding as I have very high arches and my new pair have extra padding in the back as well which supports me well since I heel…

I give myself a 250 minimum to get myself motivated - once I've hit that mark I feel like I can go harder and usually do. Most of the time I do somewhere between 500-700, and mostly on the treadmill. :wink: Oh, and I try to go atleast 4 days a week.

I have stevia in my coffee every morning. I noticed the different taste the first few times but not at all anymore so I highly recommend it :)

You girls must go to my gym, because that's ME! :laugh: If I didn't have crazy sexy legs because of it I'd probably be offended :smile: I laugh (inside) at the people too lazy to put their treadmill on an incline, too afraid to sweat, and too worried that they look rediculous that they don't get a good workout. Other than…

Tina Fey. We're both dorks :tongue:

I'm the same but I like to think it's a sign that you've had a good workout. I remember years ago my trainer told me that if you're not sweating and you're not pink in the face, you're not trying hard enough! :glasses:

woohoo, party on! Well done on the first three!
