get your kids to throw away the food ... genius .. why have I not thought of this before ... great idea, thanks everyone. I dont know why this hasnt occurred to me before, only this weekend my wife and kid left cake .... the cake had my name all over it (metaphorically, it wasnt my birthday), but before I could clear up,…

statistically speaking ... if everyone starts claiming awesome, then the bell curve puts being "awesome" slap bang in the middle and you all become more and more average :/ ... by the end of the day, you are going to have to seriously exceed "awesome" if you want to be anything other than normal

I used to eat nothing .... but I seemed to have picked up the habit of eating a protein bar about 30 mins before ...... I dont need the food, but It is a little motivation to get out of bed and sit with a drink and a bar whilst I wake up. Its a treat .. its not fuel but its 200-300kcal and 20g protein and light enough to…

I get up at 4am to hit the gym in order to be finished by 06:30 when my kiddy gets up I go for a 10k run on saturday mornings in the 1hr she is at swimming lessons I do yoga twice a week in the evenings when she goes to bed. I do one lunch workout a week and make sure I walk at least 45mins during my break on the other…

I echo the above .... fitness wise you should be fine, go at a comfortable pace and make sure you eat enough ! where you are likely to struggle is comfort on the bike. 6hrs can cripple you if you havent been on a bike for a while, so try and get as much saddle time between now and then as you can. consider getting a new…

I prefer diet sodas ... they dont coat your mouth in fur and leave you with that sickly feeling. the sad thing is though, I drink so little these days, that at the weekend I accidentally bought Becks Blue and didnt even realize they were sans alcohol :astonished:
-
over the last month I have started doing pushups on kettlebells to increase the range of motion and activate the pecs more. ..... I havent noticed any difference whatsoever
-
I am so glad its not just me that suffers from this .. Cakes, crisps, sweets I save up for them .. go on a splurge and am just left feeling empty afterwards as they are nothing like I remember them. Anyone got a theory to why this happens .... is it just a case of building up expectation ... or has something changed…
-
It was terrible advice .... but considering the nature of the thread, it was true the Doctor was right ... she is getting old and she isnt finding it easy to lose weight
-
oh ... and it screwed with my mind and now I have eating/guilt issues and TavistockToad has to keep reminding me to eat more ! :blush:
-
It has a lot to do with how much you eat however..... I did an nice aggressive cut at the beginning of the year ... I lost loads of my fitness. My endurance didnt tail off, I could still put the work in, but my overall power was well down, my functional threshold power dropped over 40w and its taken months to get it back…
-
Working out is just as vague as well .... one persons working out is another persons "I did the ironing last night" ... another persons Washing the dishes after dinner; is another persons "How many calories do I log for heavy housework" so basically eating clean and working out, could be Pizza and taking the empty boxes out
-
yeah, dont worry about it ..... despite the scare stories that all your hair will fall out, all your muscle will fall off, your sex drive will die and you will damage your metabolism beyond repair if you eat a single calorie below 1200kcal ....... this just isnt the case. One day, one week, one month not eating enough wont…

Food is modular keep everything separate keep sauces separate from the meat and from the veg .. let people serve them selves from bowls on the table. They can take what they want .. they have the option to "try" something new, just a taste Its also a good way to bring the family together as you bond over the food. Yes…

Intermittent fasting is the only way I have successfully managed to stay in a calorie deficit when I am loosing ... but as soon as I go back to maintenance then I go back to eating throughout the day. when I have tried to eat 3 meals a day in a calorie deficit I find the calorie allowance per meal just too small, I end up…
-
I never eat them .. I found them far too random, you get a random number for doing an exercise, then log it ... then eat back a random percentage of it based upon whether you are losing at the rate you think you should be . I find it easier just to work from the TOTAL calorie as opposed to the NET calorie and alter that…
-
If it actually has a notable effect to the CO part of the equation ... in the fact that CO increases as the body is using more energy in digestion of protein. The I propose a no chew dust where you just swallow giant junks of meat without chewing and loose weight quicker as the body increases CO as it works harder to break…
-
However long you think its going to take .... double it and up the units. ie .. if you think you will have visible abs in 6 weeks ... the reality is 12 months
-
Its not at all accurate ... everyone is different, it just logs and applys couple of equations to give you a number .... depending on what you do what inputs you give it will depend on how accurate it is for you .... (1) Calorie info on food is not accurate (2) Your guestimate to your activity level is not accurate (3)…

define "man" .. are we talking physical or metaphysical ? or the sex that a person perceives themselves
-
I think you need to workout why you are stressed. Meditating, prebuying food, squeezing balls .... as admirable as they are for lowering and distracting you from the stress ... would it just not be easier to eliminate the cause of the stress in the first place. ? ... ie, if you had a hole in your wall letting the wind in…
-
Wow ! ...... you sound like me .... well, me a few months ago, stupid damn deficit almost gave me an eating disorder. Seriously you need to sort your relationship with food out NOW before you start to ingrain bad habits into your life. you havent undone any progress in a weekend ... it just doesnt work like that ... at the…

I slimmed down to get faster ...... I also slimmed down WAY too aggressively and lost a crap load of power. Now eating correctly and following structured training plans on the bike ... as well as running and lifting to get my strength, power and speed back. Where abouts in Spain are you ? ..... mountains ?
-
I have just bought and downloaded it ... it sounds exactly what I need .. again, thanks
-
I have now ! ..... I'll go off and google it ... thanks
-
honestly . I have never managed to find a distraction that works ... as you said who has time to take a bath or go for a walk in the middle of looking after your kids ? I have tried, gum ... I got addicted to gum and was consuming several hundred calories of sugar free gum a day, I tried veggies ... great now I eat several…

It depends on why you have a double chin. In most cases its fat .... you body likes to store fat "there" ... you will need to drop fat, you cant spot reduce, but lose weight and the chin will eventually reduce. Excess skin ... other than surgery ... not alot you can do about this you can try skin tighteners etc but if its…

I hate yoga ....but can I still join in ??? .. I do two home sessions a week with my wife and iPad (YogaGlo) and a morning sun salutation flow each morning after my workouts and foam rolling ... I hate it ... but it works and it’s an valuable tool in my arsenal. Favourite pose ??? ... upward dog or cobra ... I love the…

Ms Toad above is what I would call an ideal support friend. As much as I love the booyahs and awesomes and well done’s for my tears and sweat .... it’s the valuable, one liners and simple questions posed that make me realise I should eat more, I should rest more, I should stress and panic less ... and eating a snickers bar…

why dont you eat some of the stuff you were eating before that grew you to a size 12 ?
