Terrorising Gelatissimo
Just had to share this with everyone. So I think I may have traumatised a server at Gelatissimo last night.... Back story is that my hubby and I went out last night to see Avengers and we'd planned it so that we had plenty of time to have dinner first. After our meal we still had a little bit of time left so hubby suggests…

“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”
Sorry about the length here, I'd say it's more of an account of my experience rather than a simple discussion post. “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” This statement is both profoundly true and extremely damaging. It’s been a couple of years now since I’ve been on ‘maintenance’ and I think I’m finally ready to post…

I have skinny little legs!!
This is just an observation really. I was always a large child, not necessarily overweight but just big for my age tallest in my class and all that. Consequently I always felt massive. I was also a fairly excitable child and jumped around a lot resulting in my parents referring to me as a baby elephant, which really really…

What do you log?
Hi All, I've noticed that some people log things that I consider to be just daily activities and therefore don't count so I'm wondering what everyone does log? I log the following foods: Everything that I eat, no matter how small and I round up for preference. If I think a calorie calculation on MFP might be light I look…

Clown pants - an awesome inconvenience
Hi All, I haven't posted a success story yet and wasn't going to until I reached goal, but yesterday getting ready for work I had another (yes, another!) clothing crisis and thought I'd share with everyone. So far I'm on day 175 (I think I say 180 days in the video, oops) and have lost 18.3 kilos as of this morning. I…

I'd rather have.....
Don't know why, but this morning I was contemplating the number of calories in Allen's Minties and thought.... for 23 calories I could eat half a punnet of strawberries or, for the calories in two minties I could eat the whole punnet. The difference is that after a couple of minties you just want more of them, whereas…

Shoulder Injury and Jillian Michaels - don't go there
Seriously, not a good idea. I have a labial tear in my right rotator cuff, which in layman's terms means that my shoulder hurts. I've been having physio for it for a few months now, shoulders tend to be slow-healing because of how mobile they are, and immobilisation isn't really an option. But it hasn't stopped me from…

Random and surprising things I LOVE about losing weight
Hi All, Thought I'd start this in the motivation section because it could be helpful for anyone who's struggling a bit to read and hopefully join in. There are things that we all love about weight loss, some of which are pretty standard - I love that I feel great, look better, have more energy, my clothes fit better or…

Plateau - Help!
Hi All, I'm wondering what everyone thinks, I seem to have hit a plateau. It's not reflected in MFP all that well, but I changed my diet etc a bit over three months ago and for the first 10 weeks lost about a kilo (2.2 pounds) a week. Then I seem to have plateaued a bit and over the last month or so have only lost about 2…
