Thanks for all the replies guys!! Ive been drinking smoothies every day. I started out simple the first day as I was running late and made a mango, pineapple and kale smoothie. It went down the sink. The kale was literally making me gag. The next day I was running even later (so understaffed Im working 60+ hrs per week so…

Ahh cool thanks!

Do you feel like the veggies overpower the fruit in terms of flavour? I'm worried that I make a smoothie and it just tastes like spinach and broccoli and it overpowers the fruit in there. Thanks!

A conversation I've just had with hubby: Me: Babe can you get me my water from the fridge please? Him: Get it yourself you fat f**k Me: Can you roll me off of the bed then please? Him: You've got more rolls than a bakery I believe that honesty is best in these situations and although we do laugh and joke about being fat we…

Ahh right okay so hypothetically if I rode 4 miles a day and then came home and did some exercise and a bit of weight training that would help lose weight AND tone me up? Sorry this probably sounds really stupid, Im just new to this

Yeah thats the thing, Im strapped for time as it is and eating early on a morning tends to make me feel sick but then I find I am super hungry at work if I just skip altogether so its a lose lose as I then cannot eat until around 1.30pm so I thought if I can manage to drink my breakfast then that might make things easier…

Thanks guys!! Bought my bike today and pick it up Thursday! Woohoo!!!

Thankyou!! Im so excited to start! :)

Hey thanks for that! So do I need to do strength training alongside everything else? There is SOME that I do without meaning to (carrying 3 year olds up and down stairs, lifting children up and down onto changing table, carrying heavy-ish boxes, lifting heavy toys and boxes) but this is all just general stuff so I am…

Thanks for all the tips guys! I plan on weighing out everything before adding it of course and counting it into MFP. Just wondering, using veggies like spinach and kale, does it add a flavour to the smoothie? For example if I made a mango and pineapple smoothie and then added kale would that alter the flavour? Thanks!!!

Ive got some kale and spinach nuggets in the freezer so think Im going to try less fruit with some greens and protein powder! Thanks!

Hey thanks for replying! Based on all advice given to me I think Ill do less fruit mixed with some leafy greens like kale and add protein mix :) Thanks for the advice!

Hey thanks for replying! I am thinking of doing less fruit with some greens like kale and spinach with some protein powder. Thankyou for the advice!

Hey thanks for replying! The only reason I want to have something in my stomach is because my job only allows us to eat/use the bathroom etc. At certain times. If I dont have anything at 8am, I then have to go until 1.30pm before I am allowed to eat. Same again for evening, not allowed to eat until 6.15pm when I get home…
