I'll have to try this. Never tried oats savoury before!

Parmesan and meatballs? :D That's my kind of meal!

My wake up call was after one Christmas. I was jobless, had no confidence and I just felt so overweight, and I knew that wasn't what I wanted to be or the type of person I was. I started exercise very lightly (on the Nintendo Wii!) and it took me a year to lose a good bit of my weight. I cut out crisps, chocolate, etc. I…

I really, really love this thread

Try switching up your gym routines/programmes. Ask a trainer at the gym to make you a new programme, completely different to what you're doing now. Review your eating habits over the past couple weeks and whether you've gone off track. Sounds like you've hit a plateau.

Agreed to the above post. I usually write full body programmes for beginners to resistance. Splits are for when you're working muscle groups hard enough to warrant it.

What time do you usually go to bed? And do you exercise at any point in the day?

I mixed my cottage cheese with a tin of tuna for the first time last week. My friend looked at me disgusted with this combination, but it wasn't too bad actually.

Best you can do with a Chinese takeaway is just eat a smaller portion, nothing is really going to be particularly ‘healthy’. Avoid the chips, get boiled rice if you have to and just a main of a vegetable or meat main, preferably not too saucy or fried.

Stuffed aubergines so far, but i still have dinner to go!

Avocado, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Heaven!

I’ve had a polar ft2 belt and watch in the past which was suitable for the job if you’re just focusing on HR zones there and then. Recently got given a myzone belt from work which is good, it has an app to track the exercise you do and also works at the local gym I use.

Bloody hell, some of you guys wake up early! Wish I could do that. But 750ml of water, a cup of green tea and gym just after 8am if i’m not teaching an exercise class in the evening is my usual routine. I work early and late shifts so it really depends.

Same height 141lbs 37 bust 31 waist 36 hips Hoping for these to decrease :)

It certainly does, but I’d aim to drink more pure water if you’re trying to up your water consumption.

What is the intensity of the current exercise you are doing? On a scale of 1-10, how hard is it? Also, I’d strongly recommend including more resistance training in your programme. Rely less on the weighing scales and more on body measurements such as hips/waist. Sometimes it’s just a case of fine tuning things that you’re…

Always used to eat overnight oats like this, minus the powder because it tasted disgusting. Maybe cherry bakewell wasn’t the best flavour to pair it with... But yeah, I don’t eat oats for breakfast that often anymore, didn’t really do much for me. Eggs are my go to if I have the time.

The amount of people I see running on the treadmill having full on conversations over the phone

Nope, deactivated my account a couple years back. I swear most people just use it to nose in on what people are doing. No thanks!
