SHBoss1673 Hi, I've drank a lot more water today and I'm going to see how it persists - but I agree, if the headaches don't stop, I'll make an appointment with my doc after Xmas and get checked out. I spoke with a couple of personal Trainers I know and they both think I've maybe been over doing it a little with exercise…

Hi, I was never big coffee drinker. I tended to make maybe 4 small cups a day - but never finish them. My dad gets mad cos I leave half empty cups on the side. I've reduced it so I'm having 2 'half' cups lol I'm gonna try the water thing. It seems to be the most common suggestion ppl are telling me, via text, in person or…

Training with Tony - Hi, I have reduced my caffiene intake, and I have reduced carbs and increased protien - but I haven't cut them out. Should I put the carbs back up a bit more. Is it about finding a balanced level of carbs that's good for me? I eat alot of veg - I've been making home made soups up alot cos I'm skint,…

The water intake is something I've actually increased on and I've been drinking water with lemon juice too, to improve my skin. Wonder if I am straining - maybe it's from the 'sit ups'. I'm not very good at them, but keep trying when I get chance cos I want to improve my stomache. I thought I was doing them ok though. The…

I'm back on track with my workouts now. I had a terrible week in that my whole body lacked energy and was aching. I just wanted to sleep all week. However, after a good break I went yesterday for a short session before popping to my friend's and managed to jog more, and I went again today and did ok. Still not as strong as…

Hi, first of all, I wish all the best to your friend. It's so sad when weight and food become an obsession. I had some trouble throughout my highschool years where I would hide food in a bag that I'd not eaten so my parents would think I had. I lost a lot of weight and got referred to see a specialist via the hospital -…

Looks like KatWood could be right. I've cut back on the workouts this week. In fact, I didn't go all last week other than Sunday and Monday, then again this Saturday - partly cos I'm feeling so totally drained and run down from working my late shifts - and today, one week later, I've lost 2lb. That's good enough for me. At…

KatWood - thank you for your in put. It does sound odd that I should eat more - but this calorie thing on here actually set it to that automatically so I've just been sticking to it. I'm not perfect and some times I go over - but then with the workoutrs it works out within range, if that makes sense.

It's def only 1200 calories, although I admit there's days where I crave chocolate and I do add it all into my food diary - but I also go to the gym too and have really good workouts. In terms of burning more than you eat, you must burn a hell of a lot of calories lol How long do you go to the gym for at a time? Are you…

Hi, in response to the coffee thing, I used to think it was good for slimming but it's not. It keeps you awake if you have too much - which I've done in the past in boring office jobs. It also dehydrates the skin badly. That's why I only have about 3 small cups - and they are small. They're like childrens size cups lol.…

Hi Hepy, you give some real good advice on some aspects - eg, I've heard of food diary, but never thought about dividing up my total calorie intake between the meals. As for exercise, I'm at the gym for 1.5hours around 5 times a week. I spend anything from 30 mins to an hour on the treadmill and the rest on weights or…

KatWood - I need to lose it to get back to what I used to be - it's been my goal to get back to my old size and weight by Xmas for personal reasons and if I don't make it I just know I'm gonna be gutted. I can survive missing it by a couple of pounds or maybe 4lbs, but I just can't be the same weight at xmas as I am now.…

What's P90X? I've never heard of it.

Hiya, I did used to eat every 3-4 hours when I was in a routine, but with me not normally getting breakfast till late - it's uaually around 11am after I've been to the gym and showered etc, I tend not to have anything until tea time f I'm home, or if I'm on shift, and I have an afternoon break at say 3pm or 4pm I'll have a…

Having been really demotivated after some really hard sessions at the gym for the last two months and not losing ANYTHING, even though my measurements have shrunk a little - I really need to this month!! So... it looks like the annoying food diet plan's gonna have to come out. I'd not wanted to 'diet', I'd wanted to keep…

I used to but it became an obsession with me. I'd weigh myself 12 times or more a day just to ensure I'd not put anything on. I was younger then, but remember the pressure I'd put on myself so these days I try to weigh myself weekly / fortnightly - although this last month I've not weighed myself at all. Just be careful.

I'm dreading having to say the words 'I'm thirty' lol But dreading saying it and looking unhealthy too. I look younger, so would be nice to be a hot 30 year old instead.

I'm turning 30 next and dreading it. But I want to look the best I've ever looked for it and have an awesome party so I can wear whatever I want and look H.O.T.T lol I've a few months off yet so plenty time. The problem is, once I've lost it, I need to keep it off! Good luck

Oo, thank you. I've never heard of that site so I shall check it out.
