  • What was her name? All meat eaters should add her and then bombard her feed with how tasty the furbabies we have just eaten were.
  • Every person is different, so find out what is good for you. Make sure you hydrate enough normally during the day and then go for a run. Extend your running times without water until you find out your own limits. I can go up to around 2 maybe 2 1/2 hours without needing a drink depending on the weather but I know that if I…
  • I'm not doing low carbs or high carbs. Just reduced the amount of calories I eat by reducing the size of my portions of all the things I ate before. I have lost over 30lbs, increased my strength work. Have gone from running 5k to running 100km and am currently training for a 70 mile run. Low carbs may work for you, but…
  • Logging fits perfectly in my way of life so I doubt it will ever become a chore for me. I normally batch cook up lunches for the week and eat the same thing for 5 days at work. We plan out our dinners for the whole week, so I know what I'm having each night and generally breakfast is the same on week days but a bit…
  • Don't stay away from cardio. I am currently re-comping after realising that I didn't want to bulk to add muscle at my BF% and cutting would make me look really scrawny. I'm doing SL5x5 3 times a week and am currently training for a couple of ultra runs in April and 1 in July. So long as you eat enough food to fuel your…
  • Think of it in a different way before you were working out and counting calories that number would have been going up each weigh in. Therefore anything is an improvement on continually gaining, unless you are in a bulk.
  • What do you not understand. 60 minutes on a treadmill at a 10% incline which is leaving you with difficulties breathing has a high chance of causing long term injuries to your unborn child. Therefore you are putting on own desires above those of your unborn child. There is 0 need to take part in exercise which leaves you…
  • A half is easily doable. What sort of comments are you looking for? Go online and find yourself a training plan that takes you from you longest distance at the moment up to the half marathon. Follow the plan, run the race, be happy :)
  • You have lost around 6lbs in 3 weeks. That is pretty much the limit for what would be healthy weight loss over that time. There is nothing to get upset about.
  • Have to agree with others on this, this is probably going to be more of a mental thing than an actual requirement. Get your daily nutrition sorted out and there really shouldn't be a need to refuel on a 1 1/2 hour run. Also, your running on a treadmill for fun/health and not any "serious" reason. So just take a banana and…
  • You ate "bad" food and didn't go over your calorie goal. That's a perfect day to be honest. It meant you got to eat stuff you enjoy and also continue losing weight. That is the best thing about counting calories, you get to enjoy the things you like!
  • not really advice, but now that I have lost quite a bit of weight whenever I have a biscuit or a cake in the office someone mentions something about me not eating that stuff because my body is a "temple". As if the moment you lose weight you have to stop enjoying snacks and treats. No, I just don't eat the whole tin now.
  • Marathon ftw. Snickers is a stupid name!
  • But it still doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the store-bought jars have added sugar, so long as you are eating it as part of a balanced diet. So you get some extra sugar in your spag bol, you eat a little less sugar from something else instead. Diet balances out and the outcome for the body is the same.
  • That's exactly the point there is NOTHING unhealthy about Pepperoni Pizza, so long as you don't sit down and consume so much of it that you are way over your calorie limits. Food is not unhealthy, so long as it is consumed in moderate and sensible amounts and eaten as part of a balanced diet. If you are only eating…
  • Sorry, what's not healthy about it? You have a good mix of proteins, carbs, fats?
  • I'm not a lady, but my wife has been getting bras and outfits from Bravissimo for years and is 99.9% of the time very happy with fit.
  • The problem is demonising a product instead of explaining that it is perfectly okay as part of a healthy diet and just something people should be aware of just like any of the other macros. The leading cause of type 2 diabetes, I believe, is obesity. Too much sugar isn't the cause of obesity, eating more calories than you…
  • but what are the spices, they are probably containing all the hidden sugar. The song even says so, "SUGAR and SPICE and all things nice" It's in the spices I tell you, in the spices!!
  • Personally, I don't like working in with others. Mostly because after a set, I just want to chill for my rest time, go over the lift in my head and just think about things like my form etc and then hit my next set as soon as I'm ready. I'm currently working on SL5x5, so I have a 1:30 rest period between sets and I'm…
  • Just follow an intermediate 10k plan. Just like sl5x5 a few steps back at the start makes it all the easier.
  • I'm currently doing SL5x5 and am also training for a 70 mile ultra as well. I have only just started up my running again after a bit of a break from my last ultra. I have been doing SL for about 9 weeks and have been making steady increase in my lifts, my running has only restarted for 2 weeks. So far the only issue I can…
  • Do both. Like lisalsd1, my main regret is not starting lifting over a year ago when I started losing weight.
  • But the question is, cream first or jam first?
  • I weigh myself every day, for most of the reasons already stated. Though I think I need new scales soon or at least need to change the batteries. The registered an increase in 13lbs from Saturday to Sunday. I'm trying to bulk, but 13lbs in a night would be some going!
  • If you are in a deficit, eating less calories than your maintenance, then you are not going to be gaining anything. If your weight hasn't changed and is constantly remaining the same, while you are lifting, then you are in recomp and are eating at maintenance. Even then you are not going to be gaining or losing 2lbs a week…
  • Sorry to say this but if you are on a calorie deficit you did not gain 2lbs on lean muscle. Firstly and probably most importantly, you can't gain while on a deficit. Secondly even with the best gaining diet and training programme going you wouldn't be able to put on 2lbs of muscle in a week. The body just can't build that…
  • When you get a new set of scales as a Christmas present and that is actually a great gift!
  • For a starter, open your diary. You can't really get advice on what you may or may not being doing unless people get a full view of the info. Secondly, losing weight is a really really simple equation. To lose weight you need to eat less calories than you burn on a daily basis. If your weight is staying constant then you…
  • all you can eat at pizza hut + all you can eat ice cream + beer and wine. Thousands and thousands of calories.
