Hey, just came across this group and thought it was perfect! Thanks for setting it up! I've only been on a low carb diet for a few weeks, so far things are going well except when I go to my parents house. My mum makes curries and rice most nights, indian food is pretty hard carb, but been trying to modify best I can.…

You could maybe try and fit in 15 mins a few times a day. On the days I cant fit a trip to the gym or a classs in then I do 4-5 mini workouts. Either find something online or just get up and do a series of exercises for 10-15 mins. My trainer says that something is better than nothing so why not ive it a go even if you…

Definitely something I'm up for, specially as I will be going home to my parents. Need all the help i can gt for those 2 weeks! Xxx

Ooog, sorry forgot to say, maybe you could try swimming! that's meant to help too!

I've got messed up knees, basically genetic condition I was born woith so find the pain sometimes effects working out. For me, I've been told low impact on a bad day can help as long as its not really painful, but if thee is any swelling RICE and no exercise! Squats wise I have them as "homework" from my physio (1/4 ballet…

It ca get pretty confusing with different sources giving different info. I've found that for me personally 1200 works and I lose weight as long atIeast 5-6 small meals, instead of 3 usual meals. Basically it keep metabolism high and the constant food supply so I'm guessing that prevents the body entering starvation. Not…

I'm a student too so know the challenges of healthy and "good" food. I generally buy chicken in bulk and freeze it in small zip-locs so i can use portion at a time. Salad and veg wise, i get as much fresh as I can but frozen veggies are also pretty good and work out a little cheaper. I dont buy pre-packed salad, if I buy…

Thanks, I just googled it and didn't get anything particularly useful/trustworthy! Just thought I'd put it out there and see> Thanks

Hey welcome to MFP, well the forum bit anyway. I'm sure you'll get lots of support and motivation, I'm really enjoying it and am sure you will too! Feel free to add me if you like!

smoked salmon!

I've been having the same problem, so decided that I would remove the junk food from my reach, we still have it in the flat because my bf still eats it, but its all on the top shelves! lol!

Chicken and sweetcorn/noodle soup Stock Chicken breast (tiny dice/mince) Sweetcorn Noodles (optional) Cook the raw chicken breast in the stock then add sweetcorn/noodles or anything else you fancy, thicken with a little corn flour and enjoy. We sometimes put chilli sauce in too, but thats really coz my bf and I love chilli!

Congrats on you new baby boy! WELCOME TO mfp, this place is great to find support and motivation! I know the challenges of losing weight with PCOS, I have it too, so feel free to add me if you like! :)

I AM NOT AN EXPERT but have read A LITTLE about these weight loss tablets: Alli is a weight loss drug which basically works by stopping you from absorbing dietary fat. But in order for it to work you need to eat VERY low fat diet. It has quite a few side effects, the post above refers to the diarrhoea which can be nasty,…

Found this challenge this morning and decided to give it ago! Did 2 lots of 100 and one lots of 200, which was a lot harder than i thought it would be! But its done! Looking forward to joining in more of these challenges....thanks!

Welcome to MFP feel free to add me! Good luck with your journey!

I would take her to the doctors to make sure everythings ok, and if it is I would just put food in front of her and say thats what she's getting! If she is really hungry she il eventually give in, she may just be figuring out how far she can push you when she wants her own way. We had a similar problem with my nephew and…

I always find that once I've set the time I want to workout for, covering the timer up really helps! But other than that I find that if I get music that I love or that reminds me of stuff I've done or family/bf. I end up thinking about that rather than my workout. For example, last year I went to Afric to work with…

No carbs after 3pm has definitely been working for me! if i need a snack before bed i have a few nuts or seeds but i try not to eat after 8pm so drink water or fruit tea

I had my scales confiscated because I started weighing myself obsessively daily, and between you and me more than that. Eventhough I know that was irrational and stupid I still did it! I now get weighed every 2 weeks, and to be honest its working uch better for me. I only get weighed at the gym and its making me want to…

I've recently tried both of them! I have to say I lvoe both of them. 30 DS is great but I dont always feel I have had a proper cardio workout. BL cardio max is great because it gives me that with a bit of strength as well. I only thing I dont like about The BL one is the lack of ab work. Overall they're both great but at…

Salad? Maybe add some pasta or cous cous or noodle to the salad or meat

Be clear with what you want them to do, do you want help with form/tecnique, do you want motivation??? Tell them your strengths and weaknesses and ask what they would advise. To be honest the answer really depends on what you are looking for? If it is a one off session are you wanting help on changing your workouts...new…

Hi! Welcome to MFP! When I read this post it reminded me of how amazing MFP is, because I've got and had similar feeling to you about trying to lose weight...not wanting to fail....doing it alone. I think the most important thing and something you should be proud about is the fact you wanting to make a positive change!…

I AM NOT AN EXPERT but 57 isnt something to worry too much about but the 43 is a little low. Have you tried taking it a few times in the space of 20mins? try that and right it down. If they're all similar then try different times of the day, just o see how your RHR varies. If you are worried try and see a doctor,

THis happens to me all the time! I have a large exteneded family some of ho think it is there soul purpose in life is to feed the family and because I dont tell anyone I'm trying to lose weight it can get pretty tricky. I generally have a few excuses: I've just eaten.... I will have some a little later.... I'm not feeling…

I've had this before and have in the past given up as a result. I know how disheartening this can be! My trainer toold me that our bodies aren't mechanical machines! The body needs to get used to each weight loss you have! Basically, if you lose more than a couple of pounds then you are apparently less likely to lose the…

Hello! I'm prety new to MFP! I am the same with getting bored and losing motivation but I've promised myself that this time is going to be different! Feel free to add me!

Thanks, Water is one thing I quite often slip up on but reading this has re-emphasised just how important the water aspect is.

Although it's diet coke it's still not good for weight loss, though it is the lesser of 2 evils. My trainer told me that although it has no sugar it has a whole load of chemicals which are no good for your body. The sweetners are in some ways more damaging than sugar itself. He made me give it up cold turkey! I'd be lying…
