Should have also said as soon as you can do it with relative ease put the weight up! :) x

I think you've been very brave and it's other peoples problem if they don't like the way you have gone about it! Well done from me and you have my support any time you need it honey!!!!!! :) x

I used to be a bodybuilder and am just getting back into it after a long break because of illness. As people have said above you need to lift heavy for you! You may have stronger legs than arms being female, so you can do more on your legs that upper body to start. My suggestion would be to start with a 20kg free bar…

If you do weights properly it can not only use up more calories than cardio by far, it also carries on burning them for a longer period. By far the best way to go to see change rather than just feel it!

Their problem honey, just let it go! My daughter is naturally tiny, and even when she was at school I was called in for them to ask me if she had an eating disorder, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr! She actually ate like a pig lol! She loves her food. She tried to join a gym to keep fit and they wouldn't allow her to join because she was…

WAY TO BLOODY GO SKELLY MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!! ;) xx

The protein levels on here are too low, unless you've put them up ;) I have. The things you want to get in are: Chicken breast no skin (as said above) But any lean not fatty meat, fillet steak is good if you can afford it ;) Salmon (is better than chicken) and other fish in general Sea food low fat soft cheese Cottage…

Grandparents do have the right to see their Grandchildren full stop, and you can take it further particularly when there is no reason other that mallice involved. Here is a link that I hope will be helpful:…

OMG you star!!!! I have just been looking at all things PMDD I'm sure that is what I have! I get particularly legs and feel generally stiff and achey all over too. And I am irritable, I get soooo cross with the dog for following me round, but she does it all the time and it only annoys me at this time. I feel very low in…

Got to go with this one!!!

OMG guys thank you so much this is so brilliantly helpful, I will look up all of it now with eager excitement!!!! I should have said sorry no I don't take birth control I am not allowed to because of a past health issue, I can't get pregnant anyone so no worries on that front lol! :)

I couldn't agree more, I've been sucked in when people have been less than civil and retaliated which is so silly! I am definately better than that and my postive self is back here on this wonderful site and won't get sucked in again promise!!!! :D

Hi there, It sounds to me like you have damage your sternum, it is common to pop your pectoral muscle off your sternum particularly if you go passed paralell on your dips. If it is this you need to rest it. Some years a go I popped my ribcage off my God is was painful! I would still see your Doctor but while you wait don't…

I have alreay commented on osessive behaviours sometimes being beneficial above, so I won't go over it again. But in answer to your last question The Western World has an obesity problem for two reasons, one is that most Government guidlines are unfortunately wrong. Two; people generally have information and know how to…

I think you're right, I had never been over weight until I got sick, but it was for a reason if you know what I mean. I'd never had to think about food before then. But I have always eaten in the most part a healthy diet. I agree you would be punishing yourself for enjoying yourself in a way, but I guess you make the…

I have been working in this industry for many years as a sports nutritionist and gym instructor and nutritional researcher to the armed forces and general public and there are direct correlations between obessesive calorie counting and wieghing daily to forming obsessive tendancies in eating behaviours with negative…

Couldn't agree more, my before bed supper is the best of the day I love it! Plus it feeds my body all night and is a healthy way to go for sure!

Me too I obsessively go to the gym, and I obsessively eat a certain way, to a certain extent you need to be obsessive in areas to achieve what you want. I am also obsessive about my career. But I am prepared to admit it as you have lol! To say I do this that and the other religiously and I feel bad if I don't do it but i…

Weighing yourself everyday is a complete waste of time, and is obsessive whether you can admit that or not, it is exactly the same process as eating chocolate everyday and having to an obsessive urge to do something of no benefit you do not need to do. Weight fluctuations happen to every human being on the planet daily,…

Love it!!!!!!!!! :) xx

Hi it only shrinks when you over cook it, just remember it continues to cook on your plate :)

This is a contenious issue on MFP there are basically 3 camps Those that don't eat exercise cals but eat all their pre exercise cals Those that eat all their cals pre and post exercise And those that starve themselves So you'll get a mixed bag response. Personally, I feel it is a variant that you need to establish for…

Awwww don't cry!!! Give us some more info if you don't mind. Like what have you tried? How much weight would you like to lose? Do you do any exercise and if so what do you do? Very pleased to help if I can :) xx

Absobloodylutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With you on that one!!!!

I'll do one more: Stepping on the scale can be disheartening when you haven't lost any weight and you want to, particularly after an indulgent weekend (“I gained five pounds since Friday?! I can't think why!? ”). But it's best to face your fears, because as it turns out, weighing yourself regularly on the same day and and…

I think it should be changed to this: Experts have gone back and forth on whether eating late leads to weight gain, but a recent study published in the journal Obesity found a solid link. Northwestern University researchers looked at the eating and sleeping patterns of 52 adults that were carefully picked out of the whole…

Ladies this was a bit silly, when you only have a few in an area it is absolutely not the same thing as being pickled in very deep, wide bad ones, it's very well for people who don't have them badly to say "Embrace them", they can bring a lot of very real problems for people and the way they feel about their bodies, and…

When you are unlucky enough to get a lot of stretch marks like during pregnancy the skin stretches and ladders your skin like a pair of tights, this is permanent. They start off red and sore looking and can be thin or very wide, most people that get them will have a mixture, the ones that develop on the thighs, arms and…
