Hey, I could definitely use more active friends on here. If we have any of these in common or you just want someone to stay motivated with - add me! - in my 30s with a full time career fitting in training and nutrition - trying low carb / keto right now - workout 3 +times a week - I love brazilian jiujitsu - I love to cook…

Sugar free jelly and IIFYM some whipped double cream, add little a sweetener and sprinkle raw cacao on top

Hey I'm doing keto and have a total 50lb until my end goal!

Thanks feel free to add me too, I log ingredients more than recipes [edited by MFP Mods]

Loving it, definitely looking to add more keto or low carb friends here

Back on the mats tonight. I've only made two classes since new year... That definitely wasn't my goal!

Firstly - great to hear you're done with treatments and doing better! My comments would be as follows, I hope they help. Food types: I don't have PCOS but I do have endometriosis and have been recommended to follow a gluten free diet, I am about a week into adjusting my diet to be closer to gluten free and Paleo. I…

Hey! Yep I do bjj and love it

This isn't true, you are never too old, training will make you fitter. Take up Brazilian Jujitsu. I know people who started and now compete that are over 50 I know amputees and blind people that compete. The only limits are those you set, give it a go.

Yep, regularly. I train and compete in Bjj and after about 6months low training and focusing on other things like work, I'm now back at it. I like to have a comp booked in every month or so it keeps me on track!

I think it is great to be health conscious at any age but can I ask why 52kg is unhealthy for you? At 14 shouldn't you be focused on experiencing life and getting an education not judging your body and putting it through stress? Have you been medically advised to lose 7kg that's a lot. I was a very weight conscious teen so…

Food prep. Have a quick option for when you are hungry and in a hurry. Don't let a bad day become a bad week. Be consistent. Good luck

Low carb on all your choices in restaurants and be careful of sauces too. If you can, keep food in your room. Whatever works for your plan. Fruit, porridge pots, itsu noodles, sugar snap peas, carrot sticks, drink lots of water and stay full. I find with work that long meetings and too much coffee leave me hungry tired and…

Thanks for the replies guys I am going to start logging them

yup, bump

Woohoo more BJJ friends.

thanks, it's more the protein value I am interested in, I'm not calorie counting so much

DOn't blame you, sometime the are a bit gross and sweaty.

I do BJJ too! But started wrestling it's awesome!

OMG exactly, I'm sorry but I feel like mollycoddling someone in this situation reinforces their behavior patterns. NO this person does not ask to be victimised but a change in attitude can drastically change her situation. 'Nuh uh girlfriend, you dump his *kitten*' attitude is just miss-placed, what doe it really achieve?…

HAHA I was deliberately misleading!

Oh wow Parfia where are you based, I'll ask my wrestling coach who is local to you. I train in Kent. There is training in Kent, Surrey, Tonbridge that I know of. Bu yes it is hard to find. Think there is a school in Birmingham too.

Added guys! Sometimes you need to go back to basics, we get caught up in the moment and forget the simple things. When I first started training I realised it was my attitude that needed to shift for me to see a change, my training continued and my attitude regressed, my progress slowed down. It's natural as you enter each…

Cool wrenegade64 it looks like you have made some good progress, I like your attitude, that makes you a good role model for your sons. Life can't always be about fitness, health, so we have to find a way to balance it. I find those around me underestimate the amount of work it takes to achieve positive changes.

Feel free to add =D

hey guys thanks for the friend requests. Been looking through the forum and found some challenges I might join in. I don't get too driven by the loose X challenge because it happens at a different pace for me. I think that's why I'm more driven by quality and intensity of workout - wondering what I can do next and if the…

This would be great I'm in! CW: 183 GW:173 UGW:161

Hi Lizzie - good advice, thanks for the reply. I will think look at incorporating it in my diet.

ignore them, shout about your success!

Hi Amil! It is confusing and you'll probably get more conflicting answers here! Good luck though Gem
