Asking Your Doctor
I see a lot of people talking about what their Doctors have said when they told them they want to lose weight. My question is, do you go to the Doctor to tell them this? Or was it a sidenote after seeing them about something else? What does a Doctor say to that? 'Good luck fatty"? haha I honestly have no idea what a Doctor…

How to get into weight lifting?
I really want to lift heavy weights, become stronger and train hard. But I simply don't know where to start! I will go to the weights section of my gym, look at the machines, and the free weights... and then just go to the treadmill as its the only thing I know how to use! Halp?!

What To Do When Nothing Fills You Anymore?
When I first started to lose weight I was amazed at how full I felt eating high protein foods (like egg white omelettes with spinach) and drinking at least 2L of water a day. After losing 20kgs and then bingeing for a few months, I came back and am just SO hungry! I don't know how to cook very many healthy meals so I just…

Getting Weights In?
Okay so I love doing weights & cardio... but I hate doing weights at the gym. Not because there are men there, there are plenty of women in the weights section of my gym, it's just because I can't help but notice people looking at me, and it HATE that. Plus, when going from machine to machine - I'll always end up with…

FUNNY MOVIES!!
There was a thread on here a few days ago, but I forgot to comment to save it & now I can't find it :( So! I need some funny movies that are pure belly ticklers - not ones that have a huge sad part that gets overcome if you know what I mean - just a purely funny movie without seriousness :)

He's put in his 2 week notice at work, and we're planning to fill up the car with irreplaceables and go to his sisters house until we find our own rental. Problem is. We need to empty this house.

Couch to 5k - Arm Pain?
So last night I started the Couch to 5k on the treadmill using the iPhone app (GREAT app btw). I expected some soreness the next day as I've never "really" run before. I would usually set the treadmill to hill and keep up a light jogging pace or fast walking. But this morning, my shoulders and top of my arms hurt? What…

Getting To The Gym!
Ok so back in March I joined a gym. I joined only after my partner agreed that he'd look after the kids and let me go at least 1-2 times week (even though I'd prefer every 2nd day). This went okay for about a month, then he started to refuse to let me go. Now it's months later, and we're paying $65/month for NOTHING. I am…

Feeling fuller on CRAP?!
Okay so most of the time I am relatively good with my food choices. I eat a lot of steamed chicken breast, veggies, egg white omelet, all that yummy stuff. But on days where I eat like this, and drink a lot of water, I am SO hungry. Where as days like my last 2, I eat maybe 2-3 things, that are utter crap (noodles, maccas)…

Misjudged My Goals?
Okay so I've been on MFP since October, a month after I gave birth to bub no.2. My goals in the beginning were to reach at least 60kg (the highest "healthy" weight for my height) and to fit into size 12-14 pants. Well... In Janurary I fit into size 14 pants and size 8-10 tops and I just gave up. I was happy with how…

When you know why you eat... but can't stop.
Okay quick recap. I've been on MFP since I gave birth to my second child in September 2011. Since then I've lost 18kg. I feel miserable. For the first few months it was great. I was feeling lighter, stronger, more energetic, eating new exciting foods... then in the new year I just lost all motivation. I started binging,…

How Do I Get Help?!
How can I get help? I have been struggling with depression for as long as I can remember. I have no idea how to get help. I tried going to the Doctor but he sent me to a psychologist that told me they couldn't help me. Now I'm too scared to go to the Doctor again. Lately I've started to binge & force myself to throw up…

The Wagon Sped Off Without Me!
I fell off the wagon yesterday morning. I tried to get back on but it sped off into the distance without me. I have no motivation. Why? I took measurements and I've lost. I fit into size 14 jeans and a size 10 cardigan. Why the FRAK do positive things make me give up? Shouldn't it encourage me that I'm doing the right…
