Melted ice cream.... sounds sooooo good :-P

Cacao? Is that a typo? Sounds like something she could try.

I tried her with my protein shake... didn't go down too well.

Thankyou. She's on here so I'll show her this thread.

Oh yes. This is a problem I get at several times in the year. My kids have birthdays sort of close together so you can guarrantee theres always a box of quality street on the go for thise months. Then theres easter, christmas, halloween and any other I forgot. I always fight a losing battle against either temptation or…

Sore abs. Every movement is like "oooooh, YEAH!!"

I hate these moments. I worried I was diabetic or something when I get shaky. What cheese do you use? I've found the brand we get is rhat high in cals it's not worth having when you think of the filling / calorie ratio. I found that having two sandwiches at dinner, either ham or chicken slice is filling enough and doesn't…

I'm on pause due to a slight back injury but on monday im re starting week eight. I love it and plan a rerun in a few months after some time back on the weights. I helped a fam member move house then did insanity at night, did insanity the following day and the morning after I was really uncomfortable. Not in agony as such…

Saw this and actually said wow.

You wouldn't know though. Or is that smile because it's nearly hometime???

I'm on Galaxy s4 though...

Now that's just showing off lol. I have no camera. Wonder if, like other forums it's a privilege you gain after being a member for so long or so many posts.

Odd, I have a B for bold, an italic i, a symbol for quote - code - spoiler and a smilie face option. No image option.

How do you add images?

Sheesh. I work in an office and cannot stifle the giggles and snorts reading page 1. Best wait till hometime lol. I thought it was a typo.

I'll add you. I'm the same. Need motivation and offering the same too.

Add me if you want. I'm keen to improve myself and since seeing the benefits of communicating with likeminded people I'm after as many fitfriends as possible. If I can help, I'll gladly do so. Allan.

If you are quite new to working out, which if it's been 3 months I'd say you are then you could easily be putting muscle mass on your quads, back shoulders etc which is evening out the loss in fat making it look like you aren't losing anything. It's well documented I believe how a noob can make great gains in the early…

Flap jacks, I don't know how to describe them. In the uk I wouldn't call them a pancake, maybe a soft, thick oat biscuit would best describe them.

I have 5 babies. 9, 7, 5, 2 and 8 months. They all have fruit and healthy options through the week, granted theres a fair bit of processed food too but the wife works wonders keeping their diet as healthy as possible. Obviously within our budget as, like Mick said, moneys too tight to mention lately. We spoil them in a…

I have some Karimores for my insanity. Nothing wring with them as far as comfort and support. Equally as good as my nikes which have seen better days.

How do you know how many cals to log though? I've been on insanity for the last 7 weeks and haven't been logging it or taking it into account.

Thanks. I'll have a look. Treat meal is looking like being a plate of flap jacks it seems. They do the nicest ones ever in the work canteen but they are actually dripping honey or whatever they use.

I was on the scales dailly but yes, same here it was up and down by two pounds or more. Now just weekly.

OK. I'll have some of this. I'm 13+ at the mo and if you want we can keep this interesting. I'd like to lose a stone myself.

Really if you can I'd say get out on the open road and don't think about numbers. Just run at a pace you can maintain. Local parkruns (check online) are a great free meet on a Saturday with runners of all ages and fitness levels. 5 k at whatever pace you can accomplish and the website makes tracking your improvements easy.…

Have you tried Focus T25? 25 mins per day is a realistic goal and should be maintainable. I've been on the Insanity version and he really does keep you motivated.

Well done with step one. One day ar a time and you will get there.
