I had a serious fall back in April and have been struggling to get back to exercise since. I have now found out that I have a ruptured ATFL and a grade 2/3 tear of the…

How to exercise with major injuries?
Hi all, After an enforced 11 weeks break after suffering a major fall at work, I am back to logging. However, I can't do much in the way of exercise as I have completely torn a ligament in my ankle.

Holiday Challenge!!
Hi all, Just an idea. Most people put on weight over the holiday season. The adverts on the radio here in Australia, where I am, are stating that the average person nationally gains a whopping 2kg from Mid -d December through til after new Year's.

Need some food ideas :(
Hey all, after having successfully avoided multiple bouts of tonsillitis this year, I have just been struck down with it again, first time since getting on the wagon. My problem is though, I can barely swallow, even basic fluids. Ice cream used to be my go to food for this as it numbed the throat as it went down. It's not…

OMG Just have to share
I just got up and weighed myself, I usually do this every few days. I have finally broken the 95kg barrier!!! I am now 94.7kg, I haven't seen that number on the scale in quite a few years, to me if I was under 98kg before I was ok. Now I never want to see the other side of that 95 again!!

Urgh New scales

I know I weighed on them after I had already weighed in for the week and at a totally different time of day. Why do I feel so thoroughly defeated? Does it mean I was actually that much heavier when I started??? EKKKKKKKKK

Seeking a change, finding a spine
I'm a 37 YO who loves to joke about her weight, often you hear me tell my students to make sure there's a big enough gap between desks for my butt to fit, but seriously, anyone who knows me well enough knows it's all a farce. The real story is I can't stand who I am, the person, yea she's great, the body she's in? Well…
