My son has been bullied. Its utterly heartbreaking. I was never bullied as a child so its been a steep learning curve for me to help him deal with these problems.

Measurements. Measure your waist, chest, hips, upper arms, thighs.

Congrats on quitting smoking! I quit in February and have now been 68 days smoke free :) (yay me!!). I put on around 8kgs when I first quit, which was shocking! But i'm working on losing it all now :) Best of luck to you!

Have you tried doing any ab exercises to tone up your midsection? This may help.

Me personally, I don't like to eat past about 8.30/9pm. But I don't think there's any rule that says you *can't* eat at any given time of the day or night.

I love eggs. I always eat the "whole" though, why on earth would I want to get rid of the best bit??

I eat a lot more healthier nowadays, more natural processed foods etc.

This.

Another 70-odd pounds to go for me! Hoping to get there by Christmas :)

Yup, so true!! I find walking on the treadmill really really easy, i always have it set to an incline as well, and have the speed up around the 5.5 - 6 mark, but when I walk out in the read world its twice as difficult!! Although I prefer to walk around the neighbourhood as I feel that I get more of a workout then just on…

Same. I track all my calories via my HRM.

I either eat before I go out, or I wait until I return home. Sometimes if i'm going to be out all day, i'll take some snacks in the car with me, like nuts and fruit pieces.

I'm 5'10 and currently weigh an embarrasingly large 106kgs (234 pounds i think?). I would love to get down to around the 75/70kg mark (154 pounds). I'm large boned though, so 70 would be the lowest i'd go as otherwise I start to look like a walking skeleton!

I like my eyes the best I think :)

Seriously??? Wow... And here I was thinking that this was supposed to be a weight loss forum...

Can't go past the fresh fruit and vegies!! We have lots of it :) Enjoy your stay!

Got to agree!

I don't... our local cinemas has a habit of checking bags as they don't like outside food/drinks being bought in.

Thats actually one of the reasons i've only recently started posting on the forums, (joined up with MFP nearly a year ago), too many narky *****y comments. If i wanted to be ridiculed all the time I'd move back home.

if you're unable to look after the kitten or know anybody who can, take it to a vet. they should be able to look after it.

Mine are going to charity :)

I can't wait until i'm able to jog properly. I don't plan on doing any further jogging until i'm at least 15kgs lighter than I am now, as my knees are bad enough so i don't want to put them under any additional strain. Good on those who can run tho! Am always jealous of those who can :)

Growing up I was never fat (that happened when i got pregnant LOL), but I was larger than my (older) brother and (younger) sister, I actually had a more womanly figure with hips and boobs (whereas my sister was straight up and down). My dad used to introduce my sister as "the pretty and thin" one, and would always say to…

We don't have spray bottles at our gym. You have to bring your own towel and wipe down the equipment that you use. I think the only thing that annoys me is that the trainers tend to ignore you. All. The. Time.

I meal plan every fortnight so only ever buy exactly what we need to last us the fortnight. For my son and I, I generally spend around the $250 mark.

I'm managed to fall over while walking. Does that count? In the process i managed to scrape all the skin off the top of one of my feet, bruises and cuts all over my legs, skin off my palms and ended up requiring surgery on my knee. Fun times!

I have the same problem :) My physio recommends that I do plenty of stretching (slow and steady) to stretch out my back and walking as well.

You grow a sexy mo, but it continues to grow and eventually covers your entire body and people start mistaking you for Big Foot. You then have to spend the rest of your life in the forest eating road kill. I wish I had a new car.

Amazing effort! Well done :)

Is that how much you'd normally eat in a day? It really doesn't sound like enough for the activity level you do.
