Mmm sounds good, I would do that but what would I have with a chicken breast? I'm useless at lunch ideas, good at dinner ideas though but I suppose in my head I think that you cant eat much for lunch haha! which is probably why I'm bored and hungry! And I've just started weight training too with a PT so I feel the hunger…

Ah interesting, ive just started weight training with a personal trainer, am super sore today....

P.s plus it is womans week this week and I do notice a change in my food cravings/choices the week prior to it...

OK then, I will do that, I haven't paid him yet as he said we need to see how well we train first haha! or I might not actually like him. I just don't want someone who tells me what he thinks I want to hear! I want him to help me achieve my goals, my goal at the moment is to become confident and knowledgeable with the…

How would I know its not tight muscles though?? They feel tight.

Hey, thanks for your reply, I want to achieve weight loss first and foremost which i do currently at a calorie deficit so my next thing I'd want to achieve is like u said getting comfortable with weights, knowing my limits, gaining better knowledge of weight training but also looking and feeling better, I've seen so many…

My objectives are just to incorporate some weight training into my weekly gym routine, I'm not doing it for any other reason except because I enjoy it and want to do it. What I mean is I'm not looking to bulk, I'm not looking to do it to lose weight because I'm already losing weigh on a calorie deficit, I'm not looking to…

Excellent, oh yeah, I wouldn't just do swings, I would pick some of the moves we do from Kettlebell class or Fitness Blender have really good KB videos. I do love swings though, I feel EPIC when I do them haha! Thanks, Kel

Well ladies, its that time for me again...a week before my pms date and i just want chocolate this time haha....so not as bad as last month though...been gym everyday, somedays ive saved calories and last night and tonight i ate a chocolate ice lolly which yeah were 184 calories each BUT its better than most chocolate…

Thanks everyone. Its all great advice. I'm going for two weeks, I am super excited. I just keep thinking to myself just because I'm in a different country doesn't mean I can eat more haha! But I am also one of these people that does put shame/guilt on themselves when I'm not focused. Of course I want to enjoy it, its the…

Yeah I don't give in every month either like you but this month has been bad, I've been pretty bad all week so after today I will draw a line and start fresh tomorrow...Its not like me either to not go to the gym as I love my gym classes but only been once this week and I've just been out to lunch with my work colleagues…

It is eye opening isnt it, makes you think about what you put pass your lips...I work out too doing classes everyday but ive done so well with my calorie counting...i go away in August so am looking to maybe lose another 7lb...x

@Rainbowbow - many thanks for responding, I am definitely going to try it....I am planning on doing these in the evening as I already go to the gym every lunch time to do classes (I don't do much weight training though)...I know lots of people will tell me to try and incorporate some weight training but I don't feel…

@Rainbowbow - Have you done this challenge and were the results good? I posted a question on here the other day about advice on workouts for the glutes as I feel I don't focus on them enough, I was told to read strong curves which I have done many months ago and no longer have the book. I just wanted something simple but…

@Muscleflex79 - neither do I but it works for many people around the world - don't ask me how though! and I weren't following a 1200 calorie a day plan when on slimming world, I was just doing slimming world but as I said it wasn't working for me. 1500 is what was recommended for me which includes my exercise. MFP gives me…

I too love bodypump which I do on a Friday but as previously mentioned because of the high reps etc I don't always feel like I can challenge myself enough and because of the high reps I sometimes can start to lose form which is probably why I never go higher than what I currently do but like you I too got bored of doing…

Sorry, I think I got that wrong, so my 1500 per day takes into consideration my exercise...

Yeah less the exercise burn...so even if I do burn 100-200 calories per day through exercise, I still only have 1500.

Well, I was on Slimming World which they claim you eat as much of a food as you like i.e. pasta etc as long as you have speed foods on your plate at each meal so when doing SW which I didn't enjoy I wasn't weighing as theres "no need" too but I also was fritting between the same 2-4lbs and now I do weigh my foods since…

Ah I see...Thanks

Hey, thanks for the replies, no I stopped putting in my exercise as I know its an over estimate of calories so I just add my exercise into my notes...I do try and eat more high protein foods such as fish, meats, eggs, high protein yoghurts etc but on intense workout days I do need those carbs...all this week I have aimed…

I don't count exercise calories so Ive set my calories as 1500 per day and I don't log exercise because after research Ive found that MFP overly estimates exercise calories....

I always think of how good a workout makes me feel after Ive done it...that always motivates me x

My goal is to lose weight but I find my weight fluctuates between 11st 8lb and 11st 11lb, I was doing slimming but on Monday turned to myfitnesspal to count calories only after a chat to a PT at the gym and for the first time in months I feel in control for once, I love tracking all that I eat....I only count calories, a…

I had this problem too so I spoke to my instructor who does the LesMills CXWORX class, I just asked her how I embrace it and she described it as sucking in your stomach muscles but pushing out at the same time and I must admit it is hard to keep it during my workouts... I'm all up for any other advice haha!
