add me and look at my food diary .... I have only just adjusted (i think) to small meals ... and I am fully aware that i'm still not really eating enough calories but i'm a fussy eater, and so its just taking me time to find good calorie foods to eat, plus on days like monday just gone, i'd burned more cals than I had…

but what type of workout do you do ? .... cardio/resistance/strength ..... i've found swimming to be ridiculously energising the past week ... i'm less jelly baby and more water baby of late .. cant stay out of the water lol .... ... if you don't have time for a gym membership... what about an exercise bike at home ? :)

Porridge is brilliant for breakfast btw - good slow release energy too :D

Try Porridge !! This time last week I was struggling to get up before 10am ( havent got a job atm due to lack of teaching posts) but now i've started going to the gym every morning i've had to start dragging myself out of bed at like 7am, literally roll out of bed, have a glass of water and make some porridge (dunno if you…

Can I suggest some Breakfast too ?? sorry I don't want to claim or even try to attempt a diary bashing here... but I have to admit ( whether it be because i've been going to the gym/pool every day I dont know) that suddenty Breakfast is the best meal of the day after a lifetime of ''i'm not hungry, dont want/need…

I agree 1000 cals is too little... there is such a thing as the 1000 cal diet but you should never do this more than a week and thats pretty drastic at that. Protein and Fiber I think are important.... i've been trying to cram my intake with things like mackerel, tuna, chicken, turkey, even Quorn (which is really tasty…

sounds like a brilliant idea .... :)

I think your being a bit harsh lol , I've been with my fiance for eight YEARS and still struggle to buy for him, and he has the same problem with me sometimes - its not that he's not observant ( and vice versa) ... just sometimes the closest people to you are the hardest to please in a way ... just depends entirely on the…

dont forget the Blender! :P on a more serious note... i'd go down the pamper session or spa day ... unless your absolutely sure of what kind of jewelry she likes/wants.... women can be fairly fussy when it comes to chains/necklaces/bracelets etc..... and a nice bunch of flowers to go with that spa day voucher wouldnt go…

hehe brilliant :D

i'd deffo try this one :P

I'm in the same position after just 6 days lol... I'm simply not really that hungry any more and have managed to switch from things like crisps/white bread (the filling bits of meals!) to ryvita and wholemeal.... i've had bacon and eggs and soup ryvita yoghurt, honey on toast and feel quite satisfied today... and i've not…

as far as dieting goes diet drinks are fine as there are no cals or fat ....the worst thing for teeth though.... have you ever left a penny/coin in a glass of coke over night? ...

Hey I'm SJ from the UK... feel free to add - i'm new to this place too but so far it seems to be quite useful!

add me if you like - your description seems to fit me fairly well lol

I do exactly the same thing haha - i'm new to the whole gym scene and so i've actually typed up (ok sad I know lol) all the different stuff I need to do for my whole 'workout routine' with all the details of reps/weight/speed/levels etc on so when i'm actually exercising I use the rest periods to update my 'notes' on my…

god I couldnt stand in the middle of the gym 'checkin myself out' like guys tend to do... tbh it takes me most of my will power to actually walk into the gym ... the rest of my will power goes on actually staying there and doing the exercises haha

lets play nice guys... we're all supposed to be on this site for a common objective no? ... ..... :wink: :smile:

i've been having the same problem working out what to count and what not to count... my MFP 'caloric intake goal' is 1270 and as an example of a fairly active day yesterday (monday) my finished diary looked like : Goal:1270 food: 1256 Exercise: 1266 Net: -10 Remaining: 1280 pretty much each day since i've started logging…

Helloo :D

Hull, UK (East Yorks) here.... horrible weather today... great gusts of wind and freezing rain showers.... glad I took shelter in the gym the majority of this morning!!!!

nice eyes collegemama

thanks! ... amazing body CalyGirl!

thanks lol ... great smile :D

nice smile :D

still with mine... he's my fiance and we've been together for nearly 8 years.... :D

I met my boyfriend when I had just turned 19 and he was 29 nearly 30 .... at first the age gap was a bit daunting, but 8 years down the line i'm 26 and hes 37... easy to forget about the age gap tbh now....

i've recently been in the same situation but due to several factors the past 2 months i've really turned it around and although theres no actual results yet in terms of weight loss, friends have told me its visible in my face and overall I feel much better and less lethargic for my new routine - are you a member of a gym…

hellooo :)

nice eyes :)
