Ballet BEAUTIFUL
For those of you who don't know, Ballet Beautiful is a workout method designed by Mary Helen Bowers (ex NYC Ballet dancer and trainer of Natalie Portman for her role in Black Swan). ANY MY DVD ARRIVED TODAY :bigsmile: This may not be a big deal to most of you, but I live in Australia and the only place I could get it from…

Dealing with Jealousy?
I know some people face jealousy from OTHERS on their journey...perhaps relatives, friends or co-workers who are disgruntled by their long-time "Fat Friend" fading away... But this is about coping with BEING the jealous one! My sister is the "pretty" one. Perfect body eating whatever she wants and without lifting a finger.…

BEST thing you've heard since losing!
Hello little MyFitnessPals! I saw a similar thread about the worst things someone has ever said to you about your weight. Whilst some people are empowered by negative emotions (striving to never feel them again), some are empowered by positive emotions, as they strive to feel that emotion more and more. Two different kinds…

Counting Calories - Dining Hall / College
Sorry if there is a thread already on this but I couldn't seem to find it! :) I'm moving into college in a week (eek!) and ALL our meals are provided in the dining hall. Three times a day. The meals are buffet style, and are normally healthy. Whatever is on offer, there is always some fruit, salad, fresh vegetables, rice…

Your weight loss: private or public?
Do you like your weight loss journey to be private or public? For example, are you telling people what you're doing and that you're trying to lose weight, or are you just kind of "doing it"? I've only told a very close friend, as we are trying to do this together. However, I feel too shy to tell anyone else... I don't want…

Scared to lose weight because of boob loss!
The thought that my boobs may become smaller actually makes me NOT want to lose weight :sad: hahaha (picture on left is not me by the way haha) I need to lose weight for my health and self-esteem and dancing and everything, but... this just really phases me! hahaa I'm a C cup as it is with about 40-45lbs to lose. But my…

I want it NOW!
I'm incredibly impatient, and sometimes I just get really fed up and want all this weight off me NOW. I want to literally just cut it off. And when I get upset about my current state? All I want to do is eat junk to make me feel better! And I get this stupid mentality "well, I'm already like this." I know it's a long road…

I feel a binge coming on... SOS?
Okay, so it's weird that I'm recognising this coming instead of just diving in... so that's some progress right there! I just have been really craving junk. Ridiculously. Should I have a "cheat day"? I don't know what to do... I feel like everything is moving so slowly... but it's more than that... I feel like I'm going to…

Should I eat McDonalds?
I'm really craving it! Hahaha If I do choose to have it, it won't be until tomorrow for lunch (planning ahead!). I'll just have a small chips and a McChicken burger with no mayonnaise, and I can easily fit it into my calorie intake (1,250). I'm torn between my "within calorie goal = okay" mentality (as I want to live like…

Why exercise to lose weight?
I know that exercising is important and will make you healthy, toned, etc.... but if you're going to eat back the calories you burn anyway, then what's the point? If weight loss is all about calories in and calories out...why exercise when you can just eat less and your net calories are the same? Won't you get the same…

Within calorie intake = okay? :O
I think healthier choices and a lifestyle change are definitely the way to go to be "fit for life". :happy: But I also kind of think that if you deprive yourself too much, or try to change everything all at once, you're just going to wind up bingeing or quitting... :grumble: So my question is this... as long as it's within…

Protein supplements and weight loss?
Is it reasonable to take a protein supplement when you've got about 20kgs to lose? I've always thought they were for the already skinny, who just wanted to build muscle or train up for competition. And of course I definitely want to build a lot of muscle, but for some reason I feel like protein shakes or whatever will…
