2 years in - my slow and steady progress
So I recently passed my 2 year anniversary of being on a weight loss "journey" (I hate that word in the weight loss context). I am not within my HWR range yet, but I am getting there. I have lost 64lb, and around 8-10 dress sizes. I don't restrict my calorie intake too much, and I definitely have slip up days. I just…

Heavy Lifting for females
Hi All, So I have heard a lot of talk about heavy lifting lately, but I'm not entirely sure what constitutes heavy? I do kettlebell swings with an 8kg kettlebell (17ish lbs), Bent Rows with 7kg each end of the bar (30ish lbs all up) and shoulder presses with the same. (I'm not 100% sure my terminology is correct!) This…

And of course to be a success with WW (which I am also doing) I have to be in the HWR (based solely on BMI).... Feeling quite confused about the whole…

Too much water?
Is there such a thing? I have been upping my water since Monday for 2 reasons: 1 - to flush out the booze bloat I have going on 2 - I have stopped drinking diet lemonade, so water has naturally replaced that. Here's my issue - the scales are not budging! I weigh daily (don't lecture me, its what I do ok?) and this week I…

30 kgs in 12 months - who's with me?
