Apologies in advance that it's such a dumb question but I just happened to be browsing this packet of soup. 1 packet of this soup is 100g The nutritional ingredients info says - 100g is 83 calories - each pack has 1 serving - 1 serving is 212 calories Given that you just add water, I…

Cooking Oil: can you swap out without compromising taste?
Long post sorry at this topic is dear to my heart. On the topic of food swaps, I love baking (moreso than cooking) and I love food so have worked hard over the last few years to figure out the right balance for me. Things I've learned for me are: - skim milk, low fat cream cheese, low fat cream and low fat condensed milk…

What do all of you do ...?
When I was in the weight loss phase, on the very rare occasions I exceeded my daily calorie budget, I would draw a line in the sand for that day and "make up for it" in the next day or next two days that followed i.e. increasing my deficit on that day whether by way of exercise or eating a bit less. Now that I'm in…

Returned to HIIT class after a break - with my foster puppy :D
Post surgery I've still been exercising, but I haven't gone to the gym or done HIIT for a couple of months. I went back for the first time yesterday - our 21st foster dog in tow. She has some separation issues she needs to get over and I didn't want to leave her yowling at 6am in the morning to bother my husband, so she…

The Woo thing
I'm confused. Is Woo like a thumbs down or a down vote on reddit? One post said that it means "too good to be true". I like posting and contributing here, but I find the woos a little disheartening because I'm not precisely sure what they mean ... Even if it's something fairly moderate like 'too good to be true', that's…

Plateauing as I approach goal weight
I'm a 46 year old female, five feet tall. Prior to this year, very sedentary and never did any exercise. I was 86.6kg at the start of the year and obese according to BMI. I've now lost 28kg and am teetering around the 57-58 kg weight mark. I originally aimed for 50kg but as I approached my original goal, I've revised my…

Heart rate/calories in the morning vs evening
Based on what I've read online, it seems as though one's heart rate should be slower in the mornings and higher later in the day. I've found that I seem to be the reverse - my morning exercise gets my heart rate up higher more quickly and I seem to burn more calories. In contrast, my evening exercise is fine but I have to…

I know you can't spot lose, but ...
I'm approaching my goal weight. To be honest, I'm more than happy with the weight lost around the chest and hips - the pickle I've got is my waist. Although it has shrunk (I've lost 16 inches off my waist), it's not in keeping with the rest of me. Here's an example of three sample Australian clothing size guides. You can…
