I started on a treadmil, and I like it, though I love running outside too. I "read" audio books while I'm running its much more engaging, but the added advantage of the treadmil is you can get a passing instructor to fill up your water bottle, have a conversation with the person running faster than you though always in…

I do .. and if I hit it right basically work it out nicely.... but if your achie and its gone beyound just a couple of sneezes and a blocked nose.. take it easy the energy you use in the gym your body may need to start up the healing process and if you use it in the gym you may well just extend your illness. judgment call…

I started at 308lbs and I am a girl and a shortarse one at that. I'm also a compulsive and comfort eater with an addictive personality. Now quitting stuff, not so hard, I quit smoking, quit biting my nails, when you can quit something entirely its hard but not impossible... with food, you have to keep eating, which causes…

when im cutting cheese to add it to a meal, i OBVIOUSLY have to test it, and testing calories dont count. Just like Birthday calories don't count

pilate's helped me a great deal with building up my core, that and martial arts though dancing would probably do it too.
-
No you shouldnt eat it, its bad for you, IN FACT let me take that away from you and put it somewhere safe. .....MA BELLY!

im pretty sure weight watchers allows you to bank a days worth of calories, maybe even two.. personally i tend to zig zag anyway so that each day is different.. also i love going out to resturants, though i do tend to make a plan before hand by looking at their menu and nutritional information.
-
diet coke by itself lol.. red wine/rose the highest volume of liquid for the lowest number of calories i have found.. the only brand of aclohol which includes calories on their product is carling, so i tend to drink that even though it is not that nice.. and my brother emailed southern comfort and they sent him back all…

which calculation for basal metabolic rate does it use? does it take into account activity levels during the day? MFP uses Miffen St Joer which i used long before I used MFP calculating it manually and the MFP values seem to be in line with that and worked for me the last time.

aw hun dont worry sometimes people say things that they never intended to be hurtful they just feel that way to you, she didnt mean it. BELIEVE me i know how that feels and i can symperthise. the other day my mother commented on how people wouldnt employ somebody as large as me, even if they liked me on the telephone. she…

you are so right about it improving the look of your legs, I love the way mine feel and the fact that I can actually feel the muscles working. im sure the stall will unstall itself soon just keep it up and enjoy the legs :)
-
omg you shouldnt feel guilty at all
-
please don't stress about this, remember your not doing this for them your doing it for you. Saying no the first time is the hardest, it gets a lot easier as you go, and the more that your colleagues get used to it, the more they will look to their own health and fitness, and eventually what happens is they will start…

similar things have happened to me and in the past (and hell probably now) i would take them to heart, which would make me depressed which would cause the overeating which would make the first situation worse. thing is to remind yourself your on this journey for you, and that you want to do it, so dont't let the little…

people have sooo many conflicting opinions and they are almost always completely set in stone, you do what you need to do dont mind the "feeders", my brother works in an office where they get pizza donughts all sorts of things almost every day, he just comes home tells me about them and how he said no and managed to resist…
-
sometimes its very hard to get motivated to go, believe me! and I love the gym, my trick is to focus on how good I feel when I have finished and also, its "me" time. I go into the gym, I put my headphones on, I listen to audio books so for me going to the gym means "reading" a couple more chapters of my faverate author…

Love this! How about "fat is the weakest link... goodbye"

!! I hope this was reverse psycology, I hate it when people say things like that. They don't realise how hurtful they are being/can be and how much these things can impact a person. Positive all the way is my philosphy!
-
Yeah, but ya are also pretty so you got a fantastic start :) well, that and being here with so many wonderful people with so much experience and encouragment to go around. Feel free to add me, I'm not really new, but I am new to the trying to learn how to be social and not be afraid of what I look like and if I am going to…

small child at my mums aerobic class 2-3ish is in his pram for the majority of the class but is aloud to come join in when they get to certain bits, which seems to work well. unfortunately 3 year olds attention span not great, what about just doing ten minutes at a time 3 times a day or something, I don't know what tv for…
