On the web platform, the page you get to after changing your password has a "page insecure" (padlock struck out) symbol... the IT team should sort this out asap!

I have had crepitus and stiff knees for about 20 years, but surprisingly they were fine for distance cycling and general workouts in the gym. I find that most leg exercises that do not require a large bend under high weight are ok, so lunges, jumps and sumo squats are fine, but ordinary squats, bulgarian split squats and…

Half a stone is a great result in 3 months... if you keep that progress going, you will hit your targets comfortably. Just make sure you keep enjoying it and stay motivated!

Cutting down on bad carbs was key for me... mainly bread and pasta. I walk the dog and then get in regular indoor exercise each morning before my better half wakes, and fill up on a good healthy porridge breakfast that keeps me full until lunchtime. I have followed the Supreme 90 Day routines and find that they fit in…

If you gradually lose weight, your will lose fat all over, not just in your chest and legs. "Older guys 23+ " :-) See the helpful info at: http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm

Good that you made it through the virus. My wife is flat out with the flu and elder son had it for a week in December - my turn next... starting with the sneezes, aches and shivers. Had great plans about kick starting my exercises, but I usually wait until the wife and kids are back to work/uni/school and everyone is back…

Yup. Eve only offered Adam an apple. My wife offers wine, chocolate, homemade Christmas cake, homemade Christmas pudding... and she 'tidies away' my weights every chance she gets. It takes an extra 10 minutes to set up the training area ( living room) and clear it every day ☺

Now if I could only find another male who was in the Supreme 90 group...

Take it steady. Reduce the bad foods - don't cut them out altogether. Eat regularly, so your body does not go into starvation mode (e.g. every three hours). Take each day as a new start, so if you have bad days, start again. Don't try to average things out over past slips... just do the right thing from now on. Reduce…

At 48 (next week) I agree... but I for me the hardest part of it is finding the time as life and work make more demands than when I bulked up in my 20s. My wife doesn't approve of my calorie logging, so I have to slip it in on the fly. I only use it to keep a daily track anyway... if I overeat one day, I don't try to cut…

So do I, so I just keep mfp and polar open after the session and manually transcribe the total calories and duration across.

That all depends on your current physique... if you are starting from scratch, maybe try something lighter and build up your strength over a few weeks, rather than hitting a 15kg right away. If you are already doing mucho exercise with bodyweight (press ups, burpees, situps, crunches) and if you are muscular with a strong…

When scuba diving, we used a key box, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Kingsley-Guard-a-key-Black-Realtors-Lockbox/dp/B00HMDX3B6/ref=pd_cp_60_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HTM1S3FP8QFE7F7DKDMH

Tins of chickpeas are great to throw into anything stewed, especially spicy food, in place of a side of rice. Brown rice is tasty and healthy - much nicer than white and easier to cook without it going to mush.

Re water: my GP confirmed to me that there is too much emphasis on hydration - if you work/live/work out in a hot dry climate or extreme aircon then you will need more water. If you live in a temperate climate and already consume plenty of liquids in soups, protein shakes, milk on cereal, etc. then you don't need to force…

I have a p-valve

Try beef mousakka. Or make a nice curry by adding chickpeas and lots of spices and veggies... cauliflower or green beans go well with it.

Try wearing a heart rate monitor linked to an app like polar beat, so you can count the calories for your own sessions and "Create an Exercise" on MFP. Worked for me with S90 exercises - the app gives a graph of your effort which helps with motivation!

Bacon butties are much too difficult. A flask of chicken soup is instant. Something makes me think you dive on the cold side of the Atlantic, where just getting changed burns calories!

Try some third world squats to loosen your back up during the day. Add a few lunges and some burpees to get some cardio in. [I kid you not - my auto correct swapped "burgers" for "burpees" above

Beautiful dog! Don't let two days get you down. I think the key is a gradual improvement with a few small changes in the right direction, like eating every 3 hours (so your body doesn't go into starvation mode), eating more protein (so you feel fuller) and cutting down on carbs. I got a polar7 monitor so I get an…

I most definitely neither count nor track during vacations or Christmas, otherwise my wife would kill me! I try to sneak in some extra cardio to make up for the excesses. I have also been known to claim toothache to avoid being force fed sweet things (!)
