  • You look great and a lot younger than first photo. I don't know if it's the light, but there is a little twinkle in your eyes which wasn't there before - you look happier, despite not smiling. I was due to start Beta on Monday, but had a couple of injuries, so haven't been able to complete last 2 weeks, so hoping to start…

  • I'd like to get back into running too and used to quite a lot when I was married (cos ex used to look after our son), I just put the music on and went for it. People say take your son with you and he could go on his bike, but I'm now more paranoid about people seeing me, as well as the fact that my music used to keep me…

  • I've got a stationary bike and you can vary the intensity of it and shows time, distance etc and I can't use the weather as an excuse not to use it - though it is in the back room and sometimes I forget it's there! Some people like to watch tv while using it but I prefer to listen to music cos the time goes by faster (and…

  • Thanks. I have read that some people use foam rollers, but didn't know much about them, so I'll check it out.

  • Thanks for that - though it's Total Body Circuit tomorrow which can be a bit tough Just thought it was weird as I was fine yesterday and before started the dvd today. If anything I thought I would've been sore the day after the workout from the other day.

  • First things first, at 128 lbs you simply cannot have 22 inch calves. Maybe we're getting lost in the conversion but 22 inches is 55.9 centimeters. As to your questions, eating more rarely causes weight loss to increase in the long run. Generally eating less is the key to dropping more weight. If you are eating at or…

  • Hi guys, I was wondering if you could give me some advice too? I'm a 5'1" female, weigh 128lbs and worked out that my body fat is 33 and body fat % is 26 and ideally I'd like to lose between 10-14lbs. I've been give a 1200 cal allowance and try to stay in deficit each day. Please could you advise what BF and BF% should I…
  • Must admit that I've used the excuse that 'I'm to tired' before. Another one I've said is 'it's too cold' - not for exercising outside, but too cold to undress and exercise INSIDE!

  • I'm starting on Monday, so I'm going to enjoy the rest of the week by eating anything I want and eat and drink loads at the weekend cos I've got to 'be good' after that. I'm going to a bbq so I can't not eat the sausages and burgers etc cos it'd be rude not to. I've paid for it so I'm going to eat all of it - don't want to…

  • I drink a bottle Friday and one on a Saturday - that's my weekly treat. I've always done that, whether dieting or not, but don't drink during the week, so I'm drinking 14 units a week, which is supposed to be the max for women. I also alternate a glass of wine with a glass of water so I don't get dehydrated. Don't know if…
  • First of all congratulations, you've done an awesome job, you must be very proud of yourself and especially the way that you answer people's questions in a polite and caring manner is very commendable, as if you were talking to a friend. You certainly are an inspiration to many people out there. I am a 5'1", 45 yrs and…
  • I've joined cos I could do with doing another challenge.
  • Thanks. Thankfully I always have some 0% fat free Greek yoghurt in which I mix with summer fruits to fill me up when I'm at work - for some reason I only want snacks when there, never at home, with the exception of Friday and Saturday nights.

  • Thanks. It was just in case I got a case of the munchies in the evening and knowing that yoghurt wouldn't keep it at bay. Also, I tend do use skimmed milk, but read that almond milk is good for you too, what's your opinion on that and are there more cals etc in it?

  • I'm in too, could do with some motivation. SW - 8st 10 1/2 lbs (It might've been more but can only see up to 1 year back) CW - 9st 2 1/2 lbs GW - 8st 11 1/2 lbs (for May) I'll be weighing in on a Thursday - just in case I go out on a Friday night. laugh Thurs 1/5 - 9st 2 1/2 lbs Thurs 8/5 - 9st 1 3/4 lbs Thurs 15/5 - 9st 2…
  • Thanks for the advice for both myself and OP. I think I might up my protein a bit and check the TDEE for advice re cals etc. I've just had some sausages and fries (thought I deserved it after spending 10hrs gardening this weekend!) and still got 1100+ cals outstanding. Thankfully all the hrs spent gardening is a one off,…
  • For the food I tend to eat most of the time I try to apply the 5% fat per 100g rule (from a diet I did several years ago), though on the odd occasion I might treat (or if I've had a crappy day) myself to a pizza or spinach & ricotta tortellini with tomato & mascarpone sauce. Even the peanut butter (which I do measure) is a…
