I don't understand their 'no judgement' policy when they are judging so many people from the start!

That's why you don't take food advice from a fitness instructor!

Can I join in? I've missed January but the end date fits right in to my trip to America on 17th May! Training: Stronglifts 3 times a week Live Fit 4-5 times a week Today Live Fit Phase 1 day 3 Wednesday Stronglifts week 3 day 1 Live Fit Phase 1 day 4 Current weights Squat - 42.5kg Overhead press - 15kg Bent over row -…

5am weekends to get to the gym for 6am. Weekends I go after 9am unless I have an early class. It's quieter at those times

The women only gyms I know off are those circuit type ones, so I've never wanted to try. Couldn't do my strength training in one of those. Could just be a UK thing though, never hear of any other kind. I go to Anytime Fitness which has 2 power racks. So far never had a problem with access. I go at 6am at weekends and after…

Same here but only 3-4 times a week

Depending on where my scales are in my flat I can be 40 lbs lighter.

At ours we have appointments in advance but usually a week or two then we have emergences and 'sit and wait'. It's not easy getting appointments in the UK

Are you all going for 2 lb loss? I'm 5ft 2in ish and sedentary I get 1360 calories for a 0.5lb loss but my TDEE can be to 3000 calories. I can easily eat at 1800

An active job and only 800 calories. I have an active job and no way I could go through the day on that little, I can burn up to 3000 calories on a work day that's a big deficit.

Wow a weight limit! Than. God we don't have that in the UK. We'd have very few nurses if we did

as the next nearest anytime fitness gym is 22 miles a way I think I'd only be using this one. I shall wait til it opens and have a look around

Oh I won't do crossfit at there prices, I did look into it when I first moved here as it's local. I'm in the UK there is only 1 anywhere near me. Plus it is sessions so I can't just turn up and work out. Neither of these gyms are local both require transport. Another 'local' one is 3.6 miles away. No option will be cheap…

That's a new one for me. I use a treadmill on each gym visit. I actually like running outdoors in the rain/cold than in the hot sun.

I complain about expects of my job all the time, am I not allowed to?

Really? What else are we to wear, a chav tracksuit?

I'm not too bothered about classes or a pool. One gym I'm thinking of is very much a bodybuilding gym. The gym who runs it has his own protein and sponsors the UKBFF shows. Now that isn't what I want to get into but it has the equipment to get me to where I want to be - healthy/toned/strong etc. I would have to get…

I don't get that, anything that comes from my Fitbit is under 'Fitbit calorie adjustment' I don't have any other activities. EDITED as I wasn't making sense

Takes no more time than putting each item into a bowl, I don't see the issue.

Someone who has to wash their hands over and over again, someone who has to the locks on the doors multiple times etc

But it's not hard to weigh food.

Does anyone actually do this?

but I don't like yogurt :(

Work days: Brunch (10 or 11am) - salad with dressing and mackeral (400 calories) Lunch (3 or 4pm) - veg and chicken + soya sauce (500 calories) Dinner (after 8pm) - ready meal + slice of bread or chicken + rice (something quick) (600 calories) I aim for loads of protein for breakfast & lunch to keep me going for 12.5hrs.…

Not just me then

Did you calculate 1500 from your TDEE or using MFP? If using TDEE (- 10 to 20%) then that accounts for exercise calories, MFP doesn't and expects you to NET your GOAL. I would say eat as many back so you NET 1500. If your are set to sedentary you probably aren't being a teacher.

Doesn't matter where the calories come from.

How is that gaining? That is 1.5 lb a week which is fine, please don't expect 3+ lb each week

The bolded should be weighed not measured, basically everything you eat should be. Cups should not be used.

Ignore I'm always late to the conversation.
