Cold and flu tablets
I've had a head cold for 3 days and having cold and flu tablets 3 times a day. I'm struggling to get to my cals (I'm on 1880 but never make it there anyway and usually sit at 1300-1500) and force feeding myself (particularly at dinner last night) because I'm not making past 1200 if I don't eat all my food. Is it because…

!!!URGENT!!!!
http://www.facebook.com/#!/HelpADerbyGirlOut Our sister has had her gear stolen in the early hours of this morning in NZ. If you see her gear and/or can help out with a small donation it would be awesome. I was facing some struggles a few years ago to a point I couldn't buy my step daughter a birthday present. Cutty came…

Confidence and amazing moments
So all of us have something we aren't so good at. Whether it's just because you are starting at a new level or could be on the travel team and have something you'd like to work on. We all know confidence is 80% of our game. If we gear up thinking we are crap, we're going to have a crap session. Positive talk is one of the…

Plateau for nearly 3 months. Pls help
I've opened my diary for this thread. I need some help. I've lost maybe a kg (2lbs) in 3 months and now I'm gaining and losing the same kg every week. I've lost nearly 18kg (39lbs) prior to this in around 4 months. I'm getting really frustrated. I've tried upping my protein and lowering my carbs a little to see if that…

WFTDA new rules
Excite? Not excite? How are your leagues dealing with inside whiteboard and communicating with the benches? We are thinking of having a wrangler for each team and the whiteboard behind the box for courtesy. One whistle to rule them all? As a jam timer I am most excited about this. And as a fan... NO MORE SLOW STARTS!…

Vegetarian Mexican recipies... throw them at me
So I've decided I love kidney beans and mexican food. I've avoided it for so long as I could never juggle the calories enough to fit them in. I've got a few recipes but they are very 'western' and I'd like to try something else. I'm not a vego but I'd like to try more meatless meals with pulses and legumes instead. As…

The 20 Minute Kick Start Diet (aus)
Has anyone else picked this up with the New Idea this week? My gosh. What rubbish. Soup for 2 weeks and 1200 for the next two and beyond.... I am snortlaughing my way through it. Apparently eating the soup and having a low cal start allows you to lose weight... uh.. like eating properly doesn't?

Help! BMR and TDEE for me specifically
Ok so I've used a few websites and come up with a few figures. 1990 is the average for my BMR for me being sedentary to maintain my current weight of 89.5kg or 197lbs. If I add in my exercise it goes up to 2300. I'm currently eating 1250-1450 net a day. My allowance is 1490. I'm eating back some of my exercise calories.…

30lbs/13.5kg GONE! With a picture!
Below is one of the two pictures that told me I needed to do something. They were taken on the same day by the same person. I was 103kg/226lbs. I didn't start MFP till the 12th of August but from the day those pictures came out I started eating better, which was the 1st of august. I still have 19.5kg/43lbs to go but I'm…

Feelin ranty
Majority of the discussions I have with people about my weightloss, which happens more often now I've lost 13kg/ 28 lbs, are very positive and supportive. But then there are those people.... RARG! I can handle people who are just uneducated and are willing to listen and not pass judgement. I don't care if I change their…

Too fast?
So I've seen a few posts around where some members are saying certain weight losses have been too fast. I've seen one recently where 65 lbs in 8 months was crazy fast. I come a land of kilos so 65 lbs is just under 30kg, which is near my goal amount. I'm planning to lose this in 6 months. Currently I'm losing 1.25kg/week…

HRM compared to my bike and MFP.
So I got a HRM yesterday and chucked it on while riding my stationary bike. My bike has a HRM on it but it's awkward to hold the handles like that all the time as I'm short. When I'd finished I checked my cals on the HRM and it only said 200 while the bike said 450 and MFP said around 500. How could it be SOOO far out? I…

Chillies
Are they really as awesome for you as the intertoobz makes out? Everyone I speak to about my journey asks me about my chilli consumption and tells me to eat more. Surely something that people say so often has to be at least partly bogus.

Drop in cals too big?
Hi! I've just updated my weight from 100kg down to 95kg (220 lbs - 209 lbs) as I think 100kg was a little too high and I've been eating well for a month and wanted to drop my cals. It's taken me from 1880 to 1580. Even though I don't make 1880 most days, more like 1300-1500, is that still too big of a drop? I guess I've…

A little about Pwnie
I'm 29 and 1 month. I'm 5'4 I weigh roughly 95kgs I'm a size 18-20 I'm not really here to lose weight because every time I've actively tried I've failed. Every time I focus on another area of health I win. So, I'm just reducing my salt intake and making better planned choices to fuel my body for sport. I've been training…

Australian Ladies 16+
OMG! Just went and cheked out the new Michelle Bridges range at Big W and have to say I'm impressed! Items are around $25 (shoes $30-$50) and some items come up to a 26! I just got a pair of pants, a top and a pair of shoes for $90. Super stoked. Do you have other brands you buy? I'd like to know.

My first 'food snob moment'
Urg. I'm having dinner at my mother in law's which I do EVERY tuesday night. It's usually something pretty tasty and ok but sometimes it's something easy and not good for me. Tonight it's schnitzels on white bread. No salad. Just schnitzels on white bread. I've got 900 cals remaining today (I prelog and still have my…
