  • Hello lovely. I understand how difficult it can be to change a lifetime of habits, but rather than allowing those 4 hours to wreck your progress, why don't you try tracking your treat foods? I'm sure you could work some of those into your daily calories in a healthy way. It may be worth 'tracking' a typical day before you…

  • I went to the gym so that I could cross train with my running. It's a 90 second walk from my house and it's nice to be able to zone out on the bikes or whatever. Then, I decided to get a PT for my Wedding in April. I saw her once a week for 4 months and she really helped improve my strength and fitness. I now stay at the…

  • Mmmmmm Chai Latte. We got a Coffee Pod machine for home that does loads of different drinks, including a Chai Latte. It's only like 120cal which is much better! It's tasty too :) failing that, you can usually buy loose chai tea from a tea shop and brew it yourself. Not quite the same, but very tasty :)

  • I lift on separate days to my run days. I run 3x and lift 2x with 2 rest days. If you will insist on doubling up, then I believe it's lift then run, so that you can nail the lifting form correctly.

  • Hmm depends. We have what are called "pasta bowls" but we call them plate bowls. They're wide, shallow bowls and we use them a lot. They're good for containing rice and pasta :)

  • I see your point. I meant more that 1lb of muscle takes up less space than 1lb of fat :)

  • I try not to eat them all, just because that figure might be wrong. That said, yesterday I burnt more than my entire daily allowance. I was so hungry and, yeah, I ate those calories back :lol:

  • I'm 26 and from near Birmingham :) got at LEAST 1.5 stone to lose, but 3 stone would put me back in size 10s lol Lost 4st a couple of years ago on Slimming World, but gained 3 back :neutral: Currently marathon training and trying to get down to my 'usual' race weight, but hopefully a bit lower!

  • "Muscle weighs more than fat" No. 1lb is 1lb regardless. A ton of feathers weighs the same as a ton of bricks. Muscle just takes up less space than fat.

  • I like Cilantro (or Coriander as we call it here lol) I could eat it by the bucketload haha Love dipping skin on fries in a nice chocolate milkshake - first did this on a dare at Denny's and got hooked! Coconut everything, Grapefruit, chickpeas and pulses in general. I cannot stand cooked mushrooms (raw is fine, but I have…

  • I am SUCH a picky eater. However, I'm also really polite if I'm eating food somebody else has prepared. I never used to eat baked potatoes, but then my Uncle made me one and it was that or nothing, so not wanting to be rude I tried it and found it was ok. I still don't eat the skin, but baby steps ;) I exclusively eat…

  • I try to eat back a proportion of my calories earned by exercise, but not all of them. I do this to protect myself in case something hasn't been logged correctly :) be it that I've eaten more than I think, or I haven't burnt as many calories as MFP thinks I have :) x

  • If you're on the website, click the little stop sign to the right of the item (it's at the end of the line) :) If you're on the app, swipe left like you would if you were deleting an email and you'll see it come up with "delete" in a red box on the right :) Hope this helps xx

  • My Husband and I eat the same food, so he'd get serious side eye for trying to eat from my plate when he has exactly the same lol That said, we will pinch chips off each other if one of us doesn't have any, but we both wait to be offered lol
