I love eating healthy food. I feel disgusting if I eat really fatty or sugary foods.
I only exercise every second day - doing weights, situps, pushups - and I make sure I do it, otherwise I feel bad. I do my best to walk or run on the days I am not doing weights, but I'm not that committed to walking or running.

I only started exercising about 8 months ago, and I feel fantastic. I can't believe I didn't start exercising earlier.

ooOOooooOOOOooo and there i was thinking this was goin to be a slow business week ;)..
if only newcastle wasnt so far .. lolz

family history doesnt sound out of the ordinary

115-120 is very borderline.. with 95% range (aka "normal") being 119 - 160 for females.. (dun ask i just know blood numbers off by heart now)

heres how u guess if its RA or OA.. 1) females? 2) under 50 when they got it..
if female and under 50 its almost always RA.. RD include Lupus too :)

weight loss of 10%... thats alright.. unless u werent doing anything different..
mabbe u changed ure diet?
I have a feeling its OA hey. But yeah. And, no lupus.

The thing is, I haven't been doing anything different. Other than eating more crap than usual, and doing less exercise than usual. Its great though!!

Bob, I saw your name on the medsoc page. Thats my story for the day.

ok
i need help
im confused
well
not really
but, tell me waht is wrong with my breakfast and dinner
breakfast: natural museli with low-fat milk and raspberries
dinner: usually some kind of meat (lamb, chicken, beef) i try to avoid eating it if i ts in some kind of sauce or concoction. and cooked vegies ie. peas, corn, carrots, beans etc. i avoid potato.

now is there anything wrong with that? like do vegies become ultra fatty if you cook them??? and meat. is meat bad/good/ugly/fatty.
yes
stupid questions i know but im confused. and i dont know what i can eat for dinner and if i should eat dinner and argh

and too much fruit is bad right? too much sugar?

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Sounds healthy. It better be homecooked! Lasagne sounds good too.

I can't stand to eat canned or frozen food, e.g. baked beans, frozen lasagne, etc. I rather homecooked stuff, so I know what's going in it.

Me toooo meli, me too. :(

I think I've put on, like, a kilo in only the past few days. No joke. :(

The bad thing is I'm home alone so there's no evil mother to make me feel like a fatty mcfatty whenever I eat something.

omg. i checked this morning and i put on at least 1 kilo since like yesterday. almost fucking cried. fuck fuck.

my mother is the one who tries to shove food down my throat. she's also addicted to sugar i think. and grandma keeps giving me food because she thinks i don't eat. argh. i have to tell my mum to buy food i don't like so i can't eat it. like last night, i told her i wanted all these thai dishes that make me want to spew. muhahaha but there was cake :(:(:( waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah FUCK

Maybe it was just water weight? Did you have a salty meal last night? :(

Tell your mum that if she doesn't stop forcing you to eat you'll become bulimic and then you'll be really sick and stuff, and that's not good. Force-feeding is bad! My dad used to force-feed me as a small child because he thought I was malnourished. :rolleyes:

I've been good so far today. Haven't eaten anything yet... haha but I did only wake up an hour ago. Hmmm... I'll probably be stuffing my face by this evening. :(

if you don't want to end up "stuffing your face" by this evening - eat something nourishing, so that you won't want to. if you sit there and try to starve yourself, you'll be more likely to stuff your face with crap. eat sustainably, not stupidly.
Haha yeah I know. I had only just woken up when I posted that so of course I hadn't eaten yet. ;)

Hmmm...your BMI's normal 19.67516685313066625515990895413...technically you don't need to lsoe weight...but to tone up - this is where you need to think: what sort of exercises you like that you can easily keep up in a program. Do cut down on junk though, yes...I went swimming once, with my weight at 52.7kg, and after 4 weeks of it (once a week) it dropped down to 46kg...I freaked out lol, anyway, don't listen to Mr Brightside, he's not right at all - you need a balance, carbos are great and you DO need to eat - otherwise you'll be losing water and nutrients in your muscles and not fat - a balance will increase your metabolism and decrease your stress levels as well - guys just want to see us all skinny, the way they like...without caring for our health! Good luck!

extreme stress and exercising could help (that is, if you lose weight when stressed). last time I weighed myself I was *shame* 58kgs, at the start of the HSC year. But I dropped a size (size 12 to size 10) within the first two weeks of uni this year due to all the stress and exercise I was doing. Anyone has any idea how much one size is in kgs?

edit: btw, the weight loss was around my tummy only, so no bum, thighs or elsewhere.

I think its generally about 6kg, but probably room for fluctuation due to height.

Are you guys crazy?!?

I happen to work for a nutrition company and sell products/programmes to help people lose, gain and manage their weight.

Stress is the worse way to lose weight. You will only lose weight in the short term.

Stress damages the Villi, the finger-like structures that protrude from the wall of the intestine. The surface area of the villi decreases and so is unable to absorb nutrients as much as you body needs. So not only does stress causes you to lose weight, it leads to malnutrition ( i.e tiredness and low evergy levels and low stamina).

DO NOT STRESS !!

okay once again... that was me :)

i haven't been stressed on purpose, just the increased stress of uni and campus environment.

added to that the fact that i've turned into a gym junkie and manage everything i eat a day (making sure that i have protein and carbs, just not a lot) has led to me losing three or four kilos in a drastic period of time.

hey it might not be healthy but its a noticeable loss.

how much is an "embarassing" amount?

i've lost about 10% of my body weight in the last two months, which sounds crazy but its just 5kg off a 50kg frame really. i call that my drastic amount of weight.
