I eat a lot of nuts and oily fish but I still suppliment with fish oil. I read that the perfect balance of omega 3 to omega 6 is around 1 to 1 but in todays diet theres much more omega 6 so most of us should suppliment.

Asics gel nimbus, I swear by them but I've just ordered a pair of nike 3.0s I like the idea of barefoot running.

Hetrosexual seems to be the default position for most people, I rang a call centre to change my details, we had our civil partnership back in December and I've changed my name- the call centre asked what my husband's name is, it does annyo me.

Smoked mackerel, sometimes I just open the packet, grab a fork and dig in, same for avocados, I also put coconut oil in my coffee,

Not really a horror fan but the val macdermit's psyco thrillers recommended by my friends who like that kind of thing

I just don't get fast food, I had ribeye steak for dinner last night, it took 1.5 mins to cook each side (rare) and while it wwas resting (about another 3 mins) I made a spinach, walnut , pear and parmesan salad. whole thing including washing up took about 8 minutes. It was healthy and tasted so much better than a burger…

If they really worked everyone wearing them would look amazing imo everyone I've seen in them would be better off hitting the gym

I couldn't function without 8 hours, Day goes get up at 6 leave for work at 7 get there at 7.40 Work till 5 drive home, prepare dinner, work out 7-8 Eat dinner, walk dogs I'm in bed by 9:30, head hits the pillow and I'm out for the count! Think it helps that all exercise/cooking/walking dogs I do with my other half and see…

4 years, and you now couldn't pay me to eat a McDonald's, yuk

Fat2fit says I'm 26% last time I did a measurement I was 32% my scales say 33. I'd love to be 26 but I dont think I am.

I've switched to eating full fat everything, no low fat alternatives. still in my cal restriction but I feel more satisfied and the food tastes better.

I do the one in Newcastle from time to time, they also have pacers once a month which really helps when aiming for PBs

I log what I've done/ how much I lifted by hand ( work out schedule at the gym) for calories sake I put it in Mfp at strength in cardio,I know it's not exactly accurate but I feel cheated working that hard and not logging it.

You can buy huge elastic bands that you hook around the bar and kneel in to assist your pull up. My gym has 3 sizes- thickest (the one I'm using) makes them the easiest, I do 3x5 chin ups as part of my workout 2/3 times a week and when I can get through those ok I'll move to medium band, it will of course get easier when I…

I eat paleo- which isn't exactly low carb, more choosing to eat nutritious carbs ie instead of having grains I'll eat veggies, I can honestly sayit's changed my life. It gets a bit of grief on the main forums but I'd highly recommend. www.marksdailyapple.com is a good place to start if you're interested.

Brilliant results! Who knew eating bacon could be healthy? I bloody love this lifestyle - who'd want pasta when you can eat bacon and avocado as healthy food!

It all depends what you read, I'd call bad carbs grains and legumes and good carbs veg and fruit. Marksdailyapple has some info if you want to read about it. Others will no doubt disagree but it's working well for me

You know when you're thin when all of you're 'thin' clothes that you hoped to get into are now your fat clothes- need to go shopping! That and you have a line on your arm where your bicep is- (I can't stop looking at it haha)

I'm not knocking the mileage at all- nor do I imagine that s&c work would knock 6mins off most people time- I was particularly slow! And I did start s&c to prevent injury (IT band problems) but it did undoubtedly make me faster, I'm currently ramping up my mileage to add to that. No reason why everyone can't train like an…

I'm sure running practice is brill for getting faster however there's no doubt strength work helps, Mo Farah only became really successful after adding an S&C program to his schedule.

Same weight -I'd lost it all by last summer- cardio a little hiit strength work once a week - burpees, press ups, med ball slams, that's it

Haha that's great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFSBGIPMa9A Clip on c&j here

Posted in wrong topic oops

Finally figured out how to post pictures here's my progress one and if I can do it so can you. Ist pic 250lbs 2nd 218 3rd 180 I'm now 173 and will prob keep going until im around 160. I haven't worked this hard not to be ripped.

thanks

Can anyone explain why my photo didnt work?

1st pic 250lbs 2nd pic 218lbs 3rd pic 180lbs currently 173lbs Im 5'10 now a healthy weight but I haven't lost all this to have an average body, I want to be ripped!!! so still some fat to lose and muscle to build

I get horrid cramps usually at night after exercising and in my shins, at the time drinking tonic water eases it but I have found I sometimes need to have a dyoralite sachet to help. Eating a banana every day wasn't enough.

i've found some unusual side effects too- I always have a blocked nose and by this point in the year I've usually been popping antihistamines like sweets to combat hayfever, I haven't taken one yet and my blocked nose is no more. it really is v strange.

Quite an appropriate read this morn, all I can say is "Ow it burns" Had bread yest and this morn, heart burn and bloat is awful- I don't know why I do it it's bloody stupid but OH isnt paleo and brought black pudding bread in and I caved. Paleo curry planned for tea thank god. Owwwwww
