This sounds fab! Deffo going to try :smile:

6 months! Woah sounds intense but it does make a lot of sense...and I'm always up for a challenge. I've come this far. :smile: Thanks for clarifying about the programs too. I will look into them...Hopefully Monday shall be the start of phase 2!!

Who doesn't love a selfie! Lol ☺

No I'm not in recovery. Thanks for the advice, I always thought you had to gain some fat and then turn that into muscle. So are they like verified programs? I mean I could just Google stuff, but there's a world of altered info and advice on the web and it's hard to know what's actually useful and correct :neutral: Thanks…

I like the idea of mixing the protein powder with hot chocolate...I love hot chocolate! Plus, I'm getting a little bored of the protein shakes and don't feel like having a mega shake EVERY day, so I will be trying this. Leaving out the coffee though...not a lover of coffee :smile:

Lol do it!! Although as parents male or female we all go through the motions..so good luck to you too! You are welcome to add me also :smile:

Hello my fellow fitness mamas!! I'm a mum of 2 crazy kiddies. Trying to get fit and fabulous! I also don't have alot of support at home with this quest and I'm always open to making new friends :smiley:

Awesome thanks!

Well done in reaching you goals and I hope you reach many more! An achievement is an achievement, no matter how great or small so let's celebrate them all! :)

I'm a ridiculously emotional fool...I started watching an episode of Sofia The First (a disney cartoon) with my two lil ones...I started sobbing with happiness at the end of a highly dramatic - yes DRAMATIC! scene... shortly after which I came to the realisation I'd actually been watching the last 20 mins completely on my…

_HunterKiller_ #12 ...hey spongebob! :smirk: :joy:

Yes bring on all the sauces! :lol: unfortunately I don't have the time or bank balance to eat out at restaurants excessively but will do a couple times a month or where there's some kind of celebration. I also find cooking meals from scratch a bit more satisfying. Thanks though guys, it has been bugging me alot and I'm…

Sorry guys I didn't actually mention I am trying to gain weight...my daily goal is 2540+ calories. I think I'd probably find it easier if I were trying to cut down, instead I'm needing to fit more food (or at least higher calorie meals) in, not enough hours in my day lol.

I'm also terrible at typing today too it seems haha :lol:

That's what I tried to do but when you type certain foods in there are so many different listed items for 'roast beef' with similar quantities and totally different calorie counts...I just gave up :neutral: again, I am terrible at guessing weight however I think I coupd get better o er time using this app. :smile:

Not regular no, but I do have the odd bout of a couple days or a weekend of being busy out and about. Although when buying food to eat on the go you can can simply scan it in (more often than not) it's just the going for a meal thing. It's only been a week though I will see how I've coped in 3 weeks time :lol:

Water just isn't particularly delicious. Have you ever heard a person be like "omg this water tastes AMAZING!" Lol. I don't think it tastes bad though and it's rather refreshing at times. Now....if you add a few slices of cucumber to it...that's some good tasting water B)

The more the merrier I always say! Let's motivate and be motivated

I make a similar shake...tastes like heaven

I guess it would depend on your individual metabolism/diet/lifestyle etc. Plus personally I've never tried to lose before. What I can definitely agree with however, is that YES gaining flamin sure is HARD!! Who would have thought lol

Hey :) I'm also trying to gain weight and definitely feel the struggle in finding people who understand where I'm coming from. I'm also not trying to become a muscle woman :joy: just wanting to feel a little healthier and stronger in myself. But hey, here there are quite a few like us and it's awesome! Feel free to add me,…
