The weigh-in rules
How do you get the best from your weigh-in? i have weigh-in rules to eliminate variables. i get up, weigh myself, go to the bathroom, weigh myself again, marvel at the difference, get undressed for a shower, weigh myself nude, then shower, and if i haven't been happy with the previous weights i'll go again in case i washed…

hanging out for just 100g more!!
firstly, in the friendliest possible way, i know weighing yourself every day doesn't give you a realistic view of how you're doing, so please don't start on that. That's not what i'm on about. i've still got a few kilos to go, but i love weighing myself and watching the numbers go down, down, down, up, down.. even if it's…

Feeling really good today!
woke up this morning, and i feel good. it all started last night. i was really organised and made three batches of different vegetable soups, weighed them, portioned them out and froze them. i had a bowl of the curried pea soup, and despite worrying that it was going to be crap, i really liked it and the massive serve was…

it's soup day!
I'm a pretty disorganised shopper and therefore can fall victim to the old 'there's nothing to eat and i'm hungry' trap where i go to the supermarket to get something healthy and end up with something bad. Luckily, i realise this, so have been working to build up a stock of ready-meals in the freezer! Today i'm making…

please help me log my breakfast right
Hi all, I went out for breakfast this morning and had eggs florentine (naughty, i know, but i'll be making up for it the rest of the day!). Now i'm trying to log the meal, and i'm struggling to find a comparable bread in the lists. It was really really dense, and absoulutely covered in sunflower seeds. does anybody have…

How bad is it to be way under calories?
I've got some lurgy involving a serious backache, chills and a sore throat, so have spent most of the day back and forward between the couch and bed, resulting in be being 700 calories from my goal at 9.30 at night. it's not that I couldn't eat - I'm not hungry but I'm not not hungry either, but the trip to the bathroom…

sigh.. thought i was winning!
i'm a bit disappointed today. i have a problem with mindless eating - some days no matter how much i eat, i just want to eat more and more. thought i was getting the better of it, since the last few days i've been under my calorie goal and not at all hungry. turns out i'm just coming down with a cold. boo!

My first tiny little NSV
it's lame compared to some of the massive success stories on here, but today two people commented that i's lost weight :)

Good Idea... Bad Result
I've been trying to get more fibre into my diet, since i've been a bit 'sluggish' of late. Had the great idea of adding some psyllium husks to my dinner of tomatoey, beany ratatoulle-type stuff. It's just fibrous husks, low calorie, massive fibre boost, what could possibly go wrong?? Result: awful. it made my entire dinner…

i am absolutely lost!!!
my flatmate's taken the kitchen scales somewhere!!

trying hard not to notice
My flatmate is not the most supportive person when i'm watching what i eat. she also needs to lose weight, but is too proud (her words) to admit it - like, she wanted to join WW, but didn't want to go get weighed in in front of other people, so she looked into distance WW, but chickened out because she was afraid someone…

Hope i won't regret my lunch, but it was such a treat!
I've been having lovely healthy lunches every day, but today i just felt like a lovely throw-away lunch, rather than my carefully thought-out usual meal. so instead of my usual tofu/spinnach/cheese/tomato/wrap, i had a couple of slices of cheese with sweet chilli sauce rolled up in 2 slices of corn mountain bread,…

Bottomless pit today, please help me resist!
i swear, today i could just eat and eat and eat and not be satisfied, i am just a bottomless pit! i eat pretty much the same thing every day, but today i'm just so hungry. even right after a meal, i'm immediately thinking 'i want to eat more. what else can i have?' i know i'm eating enough, so really i just need…

So disappointed, though not sure what i expected :(
I'm a really bad shopper - even with a list, i get overexcited by the ideas i have when i get to the supermarket and see all the options and i end up coming home with half the ingredients to make lots of things, and end up making something easy and fatty instead. so in an effort to eat better i've been making a couple of…

Very self satisfied.
today there was a bowl of lollies sitting on the desk at my work. nobody else was around, and nobody knew they were there. ask me how many I ate.

Anyone done Ultralite?
Im considering it, but it's one of those counting carbs to get into ketosis diets, and I'm worried I'll splurge and spoil it, or will run out of interesting protien sources. tips? experiences?

What did you do RIGHT today?
I always seem to bugger up my good intentions, mostly by telling myself (and I know when I'm doing it that I'm lying to myself!) that it's ok to eat that 'totally not ok' thing because I'll be super good tomorrow/will go to the gym and work it off/can have it because I reeeeeally want it/insert excuse here. today i had a…

is it just me, or has this happened to you too? (bit of a ra
I recently lost 38 pounds (woot!! 10 to go!!), for which I'm very pleased with myself, but as the weight's dropped, I've noticed this strange phenomenon among my colleagues. when I started, there were polite 'good for you' kinds of comments, but as I lost more, the questions and comments, while well-meaning, got really…

Aussies - Silly question, but I need help finding the right
I've been doing pretty well translating my aussie diet into the american diary, but there's just a few things that I can't find... green capsicum. what would it be listed as?

so close, but where has my motivation gone?
between December last year and march this year I managed to drop 18kg on a very strict diet program. now I only have 4 to go but I'm finding it so hard to motivate myself, and I'm finding myself thinking 'it's ok to have that fatty thing/treat/extra bit, you've done so well' when I really shouldn't be eating it, and have…
