  • Quote: Haha! How far did you get with the equation? I got as far as FF=, after that I was stumped!

    you got to ff= omg your smarter then me.... lol

    the whole thing is confusing to me... lmao


    i dont think its rubbish either but i dont think we need a confusing equation to figure it out..

    a banana is filling and low cal.. so is a carrot.. leah meat.. fish.. potatoes.. i think dieting is common sense eating.. eat the food the way we are meant to... the way it is.. not processed.. and you'll be full and healthy and satifeid..

    the other night after swimming(5 hrs) i was really hungry.. so i had chicken breast,medium potato. whole small sweet potatoes.. green beans carrots and cauliflower for dinner and a huge plate full of it too .. 490 calories .. that was for 400 grams of vegetable ( all up) and 85 grmas of chicken.. so very big meal ..

    i always have a biggish meal at dinner time but usually it only involve about 300-400 calories.. becuase my plate is full of vegetables.. if i have a small dinner i get hungry at 8-9 at night .. so im better off having a decent meal..
  • lindor i have just played around with there website they have a tracker on there for your calories ff and all you macros have aplay around with it .. and you will soon find out the better choices.
  • i dropped maths at the end of grade 10 just passing... i figured there would always be someone around to figure it out for me... and my brother is basically a mathimatcian/ maths teacher
    that is the reason i was reluctant to do a calorie/points counting diet
    numbers are totally overrated.

    the fullness thing though - weight watchers now has a core plan which is no counting and you can eat endless quantities of these certain foods that fill you up and you just dont eat when you are not hungry or something

    i have been weighing myself 2ice a week because my scales say littlier numbers than the weight watchers scales but it is screwing with my mind a little i guess so i maybe will get benji to put the scales away

    todays goals to stick to my points and drink 2 L of water
    i already took the dogs for a walk

    now to get the girl to have a nap
  • Oh yeah I forgot to say, I weighed myself last night and am up to 87.1kg which is a gain of about 3 1/2 kg since May. Not good!

    Time to knuckle down and get some more weight off.

    no timtams
    no m&ms
    omigosh! this could be interesting...
  • Oh my god Kel, I'm gutted that Lindt is on that list! I will read more about it.

    I had another perfect day yesterday. Stuck to my points and had a great workout at the gym.

    Did my grocery shopping and got lots of good food. Goals for today are once again to stick to my points and have a good workout at the gym.


  • FF= blah blah blah. What tha?

    Hmmm seems its a pile of crap as far as the maths goes. I just figure it means a healthy diet consists of a certain percentage of fats, carbs, protein etc.... And if we just use the packaging as guides as to the percentage of average daily diet we'll be right. So many grams per so many grams.
  • Amy, how the **** do you swim for 5 hours without drowning or having your arms fall off?
  • i do alot of exercise.. lol.. i average about 700 minutes a week .. and i suppose you just get used to it .. alot of it is swimming... i love swimming .. i do water aerobics( 45 minutes) and laps.( 120 minutes). then take the kids down there on saturday or sunday( when they're well) and we waste the day in the pool .( 240-300minutes). lol i then do a load of walking .. and use my elliptical and my dvds atm im addicted to billy blanks taebo i got from deals direct .. i dont post my exercise on aussie chicks becuase its something i dont need to be accountable for 99% of the time.. i just do it.. becuase i enjoy it..

    I am very lucky though.. i am getting a wii for my birthday off my hubby i kinda tricked him into it.. lol .. .and i have put wiifit on layby in target.. .. all the exercise sure is paying off the scales arent moving quick but the sizes are .. my size 20 jeans are roomy and my tops look like tents ..
    all up ive lost 43.2 pounds
    12 cm from my bust'
    27 cm from my waist
    14 cm from my hips
    20cm from my each thigh
    i look really goofy and its hard to show but i think you get the idea.. lol please ignore the stupid look on my face and the stretch marks too.. lol


  • i am going to look more into the choc slavery thing the websites i looked at were kinda old i think... am going to try and get up to date info -
    but seems it is the reason i needed to stop eating choc - but a bit worried that when i look into these issues will find that MOST of the stuff in my life would not be there without slavery.... so that could be interesting also

    ignorance - is - was - bliss
  • WOW you look awesome amy - get some new clothes!
  • Hi kel looks like i jumped on your toes..... posting at the same time.

    only look into bad foods... .. like choc alcohol and cakes.... .. i dont wanna know about good stuff.. lmao..
  • Wow, Amy that's fantastic!! You need to get some smaller clothes!!

    I had another perfect day yesterday - stuck to my points and had a great workout at the gym. Goals for today are to do the same.


  • AMY - awesome . It is fantastic when you can see so much change, and I am really proud of you!

    I went back to the doctor on Tuesday and my ribs are worse. He was really annoyed that Bunnings hadn't let me take a week off work, and promptly referred me to 'intense physiotherapy'. So I have my first appointment today, and Bunnings will just have to pay the bills.

    I've stalled a bit with my weight loss, partly because I am restricted with my movement - but I also realised the other day that I'm a bit scared to reach my goal. It's not getting to goal that scares me, it's the "what now?". After more than two years of being focussed on something, it feels odd to not have that. So I am obviously going to have to work that one out.

    I'm pretty sure that I will change my goal in the next few months. I don't think I will be happy to settle for 70kg, but I want to get closer to it before I make a final decision.

    I'm going to have loose skin - that doesn't impress me - but at the same time I did this to myself, so there's no point whinging about it.

    Anyway, must get ready for work. Have a good day everyone!
  • up 200grams! damn
    that's nothing though and i knew it would happen when i was eating the m&ms on monday but remember i was up on monday so i am not surprised

    so this week i have a challenge with a friend and more importantly with myself to drink 2L of water every day
    sounds easy but i just dont do it
    will teach jemima to be "water girl" and bring me water when i am not drinking, it will be good for both of us

    she is at daycare today the first time in almost a month coz of sickness so it is weird without her here right now
    i miss her! hehehe really

    opshop in a couple of hours and i need to tidy the house so the computer is getting turned OFF now (there is a button here somewhere that does it....)

    ani - maybe change your goal weight now..?? maybe change your goal from a weight to a size? maybe change your goal from a number to a look? maybe when your ribs are better find out what you can do about loose skin?? there must beheaps of people who lose lots of weight that find a way to combat loose skin??? you are looking terrific though
