I need some new friends!
Hi all, As of 12am, I am starting back after 2 days off. I'm realising that now, 3 months into this 'lifestyle' change, I've begun to slack with my logging and keeping to my 1,200 calories a day. (And yes - I'm a legitimate 1,200 calorie-a-day-er at 5'2 with a sedentary lifestyle lately). Tomorrow I have organised meeting…

A stupid question about weights
Hi everyone, Ok - please bare with me. When I was a teenager, I actually used to work at a gym. I used to have personal trainer friends, and lifting weights just came naturally. It was easy for me to get to the point of squatting my own weight etc. Fast forward 7 years later, and I don't even know where to start. I…

Night shift
Hi ladies, So my husband is on night shift now. I have been applying for jobs left, right and center here but no luck yet.

I explained to him that I was starting a diet, and to be honest I think he realised it was coming when the scales were…

Separate meals while on calorie restricted diet?
Hi guys, So my biggest worry about my weight loss journey is that my husband is in the military and works 14 hour days. I am the sole cooker in this house, so I have to think up and prepare every dinner... AND have enough leftovers for my hubby to take to work the next day. What would you do? Do separate meals for him? He…

Fighting the newly wedded additional 25lbs (eek!)
My husband and I recently moved to Germany with the USAF. I'm originally from New Zealand, and lived in Australia up until December when I joined my husband in the USA. In Australia, I was active, had a full time busy job and lived with my best friend who was very health conscious. We ate well, and walked to work and back.…
