Protein shake
Can I make a shake using protein powder the night before and keep it in the fridge for the morning or will it be gross by then....? I usually blend a banana and peanut butter into it before I do a long run. I'm doing my first half marathon and need to leave my house at 5am and don't really want to have my blender going at…

What the health....
Who has watched this? It's so horribly confusing and disgusting! Think I might never eat again!!! But seriously, what on earth does one then eat? Or put on kids sandwiches?

The times they are a changing......
Going from a time to hardly being able to walk around the block to finishing my first 10km race! YEAH!!!! Never thought I could do this, EVER! And now my next goal is a half marathon next year! Still have a way to go to reach my goal weight but getting there one day at a time!

Hoping this helps for the future!
For the past 10 years I've been obese. Finally got my life together and decided I'm worth it! I've lost 40kgs so far. Still about 10kgs to go. Just LOVE the face that my boys workout with me! They lift the weights about 8 times then I need to check how much their muscles have grown! Really hope that my healthier lifestyle…

Body Issues
Its amazing how you are your own worst enemy! I started my weight loss journey at 109kgs (240 pounds), to date I have lost 40kgs (88 pounds) and have about 6kgs (13 pounds) to go before I reach my target weight. Yesterday I was chatting to my Mom, who has always been thin (she eats crazy healthy and works out a lot), she…

Losing weight...
One of the things I'm still getting used to about losing so much weight is the amount of bones that now stick out of my body. There are a vast amount of chest and collar bones everywhere and I keep hitting my hip bones on corners or counters! Okay. The saggy skin sucks but the rest is pretty frikken awesome!!!

Weight gained in a week
I have been working out like crazy the past week and eating I think waaay too few calories but have been hectic busy this week. What I don't understand is I actually weigh 3kgs MORE than what I did last week this time?!?!?! How is this possible? It's insanely hot here at the moment so I'm not sure if I'm just retaining…

Not totally there yet......
I still have easily 15kgs to go before I am at the weight I would ideally like to be, so not totally a success story as yet...... I went for a photoshoot on Saturday to "feel good" about how far I have gotten and must say I am incredibly proud of myself for where I have gotten to so far and so horrified at myself that I…

When I need motivation.....
So on days like today when I'm tired and cold and just not feeling it. I look at pictures of myself from a few months ago and realize that all the hard work and getting up in the dark to workout before my kids start their day, etc is actually all worth it! I still have faaaar to go to get to my "before kids" pants size but…

Is snacking really needed?
Should I have a snack in between meals or not? I know some people say you need to eat every three hours to keep the body going, etc etc...... However, if I am not hungry do I really HAVE to have a snack or will I still loose if I just eat my 3 meals a day?

I HAVE TO DO THIS!!
I've been overweight since I my first pregnancy! (Not that I was ever skinny.....) But my thyroid pretty much shut down during my pregnancy which was only discovered much later.... So I just got fatter and fatter and more and more unhappy as the years went on! I now have two gorgeous boys!! However I feel like I'm missing…
