I really hope the lack of update yet means good things! I think its fair to say everyone on MFP is rooting for you :drinker:

ideally, atleast 1 minute

your bed is only 4 inches off the floor?

I can do a plank much longer than this

no problem, i often have these as breakfast :) Happy baking!

looks like they've changed the start date to 30th Jan

you can put whatever you want in them really, doesn't have to be raspberry, you could go choc chip

1 cup natural bran (unprocessed) 3 tbsp linseeds (flax seeds) 1 cup plain wholemeal flour 2/3 cup brown sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp bi-carb soda 1 cup skim milk 1/4 cup olive oil 1 egg 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup frozen raspberries Preheat oven to 180C (365F) Keep a few raspberries spare to put on the top of the…

It will most definitely work if you've got good nutrition to back it up

great :) i'll add everyone as quickly as I can

i don't think we have to log that one, just putting in weight updates i suppose. I'm planning to do the food logging over here

its up to you, but yes supposedly 10 days of each

accepted :) Will be interesting to see how this goes :)

There will be more team features in a few days, we're just getting in early :)

I log it as dancing, general, and log your time. Its a little relative, the Wii can't really tell how much you're actually moving your legs etc.

LET IT HEAL! Get it checked by a physio, they will speed up the healing process. No pain no gain DOES NOT apply here. I stuffed mine several weeks back at tennis and pushed on through like an idiot. I've now got bursitis in my shoulder as well, so i switched to doing heaps of leg work and now i have shin splints. :grumble:…

I think you weigh the least first thing in the morning after the toilet, before breakfast. I think its also better to do it then, because its a bit more of a constant than other times of the day (for me, atleast) I weigh myself everyday, but I think i just like to have more plots on my progress graph haha, i just look at…

I'm the same, keeping my diary open keeps me in check and more likely to opt for healthy choices because a) i don't want to have to log something bad and B) don't want others to see me eating bad things, i want them to be impressed with my healthy choices

welcome welcome :) you've taken the first step! There is heaps of support here, everyones very friendly and happy to answer your questions :)

I do, I want to do this the healthy way and actually keep it off :)

this ^^ I found that with soda as well, i hadn't had any in ages, and i had a little bit the other day, it was gross!

Your body takes a while to adjust to anything new. Are you eating any fruits, veggies and leafy greens?

I always assume when someone says muscle weighs more than fat, they mean that of the same volume (area) of fat vs muscle, the muscle is heavier as its more dense than fat. Obviously 5 pounds of muscle weighs the same as 5 pounds of fat weighs the same as 5 pounds of feathers and so on...

I used to waitress at an all you can eat buffet, so I've seen lots of "trying to get my moneys worth" people, but honestly, they leave feeling dreadful and sick for the rest of the day. I don't see how that is getting a good deal for your money. If you try to make good choices while you're there, you'll feel much better…

Adelaide, South Australia :)

So would this also apply if you were sick for an extended period of time (months) and lost a bunch of weight from not being able to keep food down?

thats awesome!

ME: 1 LNS: 0 soooooo tempted :)

Yeah I can exceed 5 minutes (while chanting "happy place, happy plaaaaccee", the more you do it the easier it gets to go for longer... sure does burn. I can't do the side ones for very long though...
