Yeah, agree with Ausgirl on that one - general guidelines for BF mumma's are around the 2000 calories per day for that 17 day diet. (Great loss Ausgirl!).

I'm so so proud of you Lilas! I'm glad you had a brilliant and healthy day yesterday - keep it up hun!

Belfie - you are doing so so well my dear. How many more kilos to go till your goal (was it early 50's?). Sorry, hard to keep track of everyone I watch lol! (Oooh, hope i don't sound like a stalker lol!).

Mr S - Where are you matey?

Beckoes - they recommend women have a waist measurement of <80cms to reduce risk of cardiac disease. So best thing to do is cardio, shed the fat covering that sexy 6 pack hiding just underneath . So running, jogging, walking, cycling, swimming, group fitness classes - whatever floats your boat. And I'm really happy to read the 'rest will follow' comment - because you are so right. Basically we'll lose the weight from where we least care about firstly - arms, boobs etc, THEN we'll lose it from legs, belly, hips etc (the place where most women focus on). But rest assured cardio will fix it!
