Low Cal Individual Chocolate Cheesecake
I spent most of today experimenting in the kitchen, and the favourite of all my results was this chocolate no-bake cheesecake. For those who are in Australia, it tastes a lot like the Jamaican Chocolate Cheesecake from the cheesecake shop <3 Photos aren't great because photography is NOT my thing, and all I could find was…

Hi there :) I've been a yo-yo'er for years and thought I always lose weight the healthy way (no crash diets) I always fall off the wagon. Is there anybody here who yo-yo'd for years and has now kept it off? Can you tell us your story?

Aussie friends who are doing this the HEALTHY way!
I'm looking for more Aussie friends as my friend list tends to be dead at this time of night :) My only pre-requisite is you need to be doing this the right way and have a similar mindset to me.

Calling people who squat heavy...
The only compound I'm still having trouble with is the squat. I'm still doing BW squats at the moment and I simply cannot get to parallel, let alone below. I feel like I get lower now than I did 3-4 weeks ago, but I hope that's not just in my head. I feel like its a mixture of weak knees/hips, outside of stomach getting in…

Measurements
Every time I start losing weight, I FORGET to take measurements at the start. I'm 6kg down now and think I should start now. Other women who take measurements, can you tell me what areas you measure? I know fat loss can come from so many places, and I'd like to have a really overall measure. What I've got so far is; Waist…

Rest days between lifting
So, I've started lifting heavy. No, it wouldn't be heavy by many peoples standards, and with my arthritis it may never be, but I do 3-4 sets of 8 reps of what feels like the most I can possibly do, and I HURT the next day no matter how much I stretch. To me, that's what I consider "lifting heavy", tell me if you disagree.…

Any success stories from apple shaped girls?
Hi all, I've been looking at some pictures that have scared me lately - apple shaped girls who have insane amounts of loose skin after losing weight, who claim its in part to do with being 'apple shaped'. I'm very much an apple so this freaks me out. It's not going to stop me from losing weight - skin WITHOUT fat would…

Can I trust my BodyMedia Fit?
Sometimes I'm scared to trust my BMF, I apparently burn more than MFP predicts for moderately active every day, some days being up to 1000 more. I work a desk job, but manage a team of 40 so I am up and about a LOT. I walk 30 min on my lunch break and even without any structured exercise outside of that my TDEE always…

How do you build exercise into your every day life?
I know some of us have those days where we just don't feel like doing structured exercise, but we still want to do SOMETHING active (particularly Sundays for me - it's such a lazy relaxing day :) ) Today I was having one of those days. I decided to hang out all 34 items of my washing one at a time, a full round trip from…

Ive come back this last week after a long hiatus, some ups and downs in life, and gaining back the weight I worked hard to lose (plus 2kg extra) I really feel in the right head space this time and want the RIGHT people by my side. I've cleared some out of my friends list, and am looking for the right kind of MFPals for me.…

HRM - Polar Alternatives?
I currently have a Polar FT7 that I'm looking to replace. I've had issues with it (I know my heart rate isn't 208 when I've just sat my butt down on the bike, or 45 when I'm doing a cal burn plan on the elliptical!!) which I know can happen with any item you purchase, but the issue is that Polar support have been anything…

I had about 10 compliments on my weight loss today, as well as noticing I've now doubled AT MINIMUM all weights I'm doing at the gym, some up by about 4x over the course of the last 3 months. I also…

In 6 weeks I have lost...
8.7kg of fat off my body. Sometimes it's hard for us to understand how much we have truly done for ourselves... Until I look at something like this. On my couch are my dog Lily (5.0kg) and my cat Halo (3.7kg) - Look at them both and that's a lot of mass... It's the exact same weight I've lost from my body.

Boobs gone from F to J!!!
Hello! So I'm about 4 weeks and 6kg down into this and as the title says, my boobs have gone from an F to a J! I was a K once in the past when I was a lot bigger so it's not like I'm freaking out, just a little surprised. My bust measurement has not gone down at all but my under-bust is steadily declining. I'm sure the…

The day after a spike day
Hi all, To those of you who do spike days, do you find that the day directly after your weight could be up by ~1lb or so, and then it goes down much quicker over the next few days? Just wondering if water retention is noticeable on the scales after a spike day.

What are your favourite super low calorie snacks/meals?
I used to have a list of these for those days that we had a "cheeky lunch" at work so I'd come home and have a light dinner. Tonight I had a cup-a-soup and two hard boiled eggs (white only) - 65 calories and I'm very full! Obviously not nutritious enough to have on a regular basis, but a nice standby for when you're a) not…
