for me it was just being fed up of continually putting more weight on so decided to do something about. I think the main thing was seeing the pictures around Christmas

From what I have read previously on here, people tend to advise eating back half of your workout calories.

I just use runtastic on my phone for running and the in built app to track my steps. Works fine for me. Battery life can become a bit of an issue.

I like this analogy!

yeah I have combining running and doing strength work as I do all my running outside so I will go for a run and then go to the gym.

I suppose its also about finding what is right for your body.

I've done that one before. Some beautiful scenery if I remember correctly.

I quite like that schedule. Especially the 7th week lol

I used to go hill walking a lot when I lived in the UK and when I am back in the summer we will go for a walk in the Peak District on one of our old walks and see if we find it any easier!

I don't think I could ever do yoga lol Since I have been doing more exercise I haven't had a day where I just sit on the couch and in all honesty I don't want one!

no thank god haha HYE stole someones food on a first date when they wasn't looking lol

I'm 26 in Dubai (from UK) I wish I was one of those guys who can eat and eat and not put anything on like you all seem to have haha I have about another 22kg to go :)

great weight loss! and love the tattoos!!

I just got to the point where enough was enough. I had friends who had lost weight and seemed happier and healthier. I just always accepted that I was stocky and that was that. But I began to think if these people can loose weight and have their own success stories then I am more than capable as well.My wife is also trying…

thanks guys. I don't mind a slight increase in weight it is for muscle gain. Only going to have one a day just to increase my protein levels. I have been eating more protein in my diet recently and feel a lot better for it.

Thanks Shaun, went and bought some of Arrnies whey protein on my lunch. Was already on fitness pal so thought would give that one a go.

home made sweet potato crisps are amazing!

yep

I like to do a early morning run as well. I tend to leave my house between 5.45am and 6am. I go to my local park where there is a mile running track so there are other crazy people there as well. For me the best feeling is going to work knowing you have already accomplished something and you can happily leave work and…

With the beef stew I input all the ingredients using the recipe importer and thats what it came out at.

well thank you for your constructive feedback.

I think this might have hit the nail on the head.

how much do you want to loose?

cheese and ham will add some easy calories so definitely worth doing.

Time to up the carbs then! Will help with my running as well which is a bonus as I am currently running 3 miles 4 times a week.

I think the only reason is that because everything I am eating is just packed full of nutrients so my body is getting most of what it needs. When I put down what I eat yesterday it seems like it should be more but it comes out at 1057. Breakfast; 3 Scrambled Eggs - 210 calories spinach - 23 calories cherry tomatoes - 20…

Hi Melissa, I am new as well :)

I think that could really help as currently all I drink during the week is water and green tea. The only exception is at weekend when I have some beer.

just out of curiosity, if I didn't increase my daily intake by enough then what implication would this have on my weight and health. Just worried that if I start eating lots more calories I will either stop loosing weight or perhaps even put weight on.
