2012 August, 17 weeks pregnant and looking for mates
Hullo, i think the subject says everything! I spent the first 3 months not putting on weight but after the 14th week i've put on 5 kg in 3 weeks already. I am back to tracking again because i want to put on 0.5lb a week (as per all the baby books i've read) and not 4lbs a week! Anyone else in my situation? Wanna be…

The most obvious results ever in a weight loss study
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/health/19brody.html Bascially, it says, have a healthy lifestyle, eat more vegetables, exercise but keep an eye on over eating afterwards, sleep more, drink less, watch less TV, avoid sugary drinks and potato chips, eat nuts and yoghurt. *yawn*. I didn't need a 20 year study to tell me…

How do we carry on?
Back again to my fitness pal. After losing about 3.5kg and being happy for the wedding in 2008, i continued working out and increased muscle mass. I put the weight on but stayed happy with my body shape because my measurements showed that it was mostly muscle. Then my weighing scales broke, and winter hit us and we decided…

I don't know if it's possible

OK.. i calorie counted and i was -11 calories of my goal, so it was ok, really! I know why i put on weight. I am…

Calories in Super Noodles
Hello, I love super noodles for dinner, especially if i pop it into my own soup stock and chuck loads of vegetables in. However, i've just discovered that they are about 500kcals per little pack. this is ridiculous! I only get 200kcal from a pack of Udon noodles, so i am not understanding this. Anyone knows why they are so…

I'm so hungry
I started this 3 weeks ago. The goal is 17 lbs lost by next may. after the first 2 weeks i lost 4 lbs, and i'm rather happy as the clothes fit really well and i feel good. But for the 3rd week nothing really happened - to be fair, i went away for a long weekend and i think busted by diet by more than a couple of hundred…

Ate all my calories before dinner! Should i Skip?
Hi everyone, I've had a dilemma last night. Yesterday, i rushed to the community centre for my circuits class, but it was cancelled. It was terrible because i already banked the 500 calories from that class in the afternoon and had 2 pieces of cake, so if i didn't do that class, i wouldn't have enough calories to eat…

The first thing i did was to track all the calories, and i've lost 1.5 kg over 8 days, but i think i'm leveling out. Then i started reading the message…
