hi there, Im in dunedin. feel free to message me any time. would do me some good to have some accountability closer to home

my favorite soup is bacon potato and cheddar cheese. it packs a whopping 280 calories so i was fooled into thinking it was perfect. I know i can get that sodium lower by maing my own chicken stock (pity i dont eat much chicken). i wasnt aware if a low sodium bacon. that i will HAVE to research :) now for a low sodium…

I guess I am lucky in that ive always been a fresh bean eater. But that being said. Im a chef most of my food is made from scratch. but i just found out my favorite soup is high in sodium despite being only 280 calories per serve. i was eating a bunch of packaged stuff like sausages and stuff that were it turned out high…

yup sometimes i am surprised by what i can fit in my intake as opposed to how high in calories something is. But i never realised how through the roof my sodium was. Ive recently given up energy drinks in my quest to be healthier and thats a good 750mg of sodium out of my diet and yet the past few days since i started…

Thanks ill do it soon :D

haha thans... i have no issue with that

thanks guys. i generally dont eat canned veg anyway other than chopped tomatoes. and i dont generally add salt unless its for baking etc. Just noticing that my sodium is always over limit so thought id try and get it down a bit. or alot :) really love my vogels tho :(

i love how youve measured out how many in a little handfull...does keeping them in the freezer stop you from going back for more? I have a bad habit once i open something sweet i cant stop till they are gone so im wondering if the semi-sweet would help that

the best thing is that once youre no longer drinking the soda and juice the water actually does have a taste... cut down gradually if you really need to no shame in that

i find it much more palatable when its cold. if you have a jug/pitcher or 2 you could do it with lemons/limes/oranges or cucumber or berries are good too. i am on a water challenge right now but i tend to feel groggy when i drink too much water so im building up tolerance. for my size ive been told i should be drinking 4l…

Problem being its inconsistent but full. I have a job (which keeps me aflot) I have a business and i am still a student LOL even when i am sitting on my butt i dont tend to get everything at the computer done. but i think ill plan in some breaks like you say and then maybe ill not feel so bad

would be especially happy to find some people in my area to go for walks with etc

I am just starting today and have half my body weight to shed eventually... im starting with the first 5kg. anyway i unfortunately dont have any support so would love to be your friend :)

i have ear problems so my balance isnt that great especially when cars go past etc. i was fine in the country but here id probably be run over. exercycle i could deal with tho

awesome thanks! ive enquired about karate as my son would like to do that. so maybe ballet and karate once a week each and then zumba belly dancing at home
