Morning all, I am in a wee village called Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire, originally from North Lanarkshire. Lovely to meet you all :smiley:

I would highly recommend a foam roller. I struggled with calf problems and shin splints and since using this have had neither. If got time use before running and then afterwards & 10mins in the evening. Look for Videos on You Tube for decent exercises. It will hurt to start but will be worth it :)

Hi, I am from a lovely little village in Aberdeenshire called Cruden Bay. Currently following WW but tracking calories and on here for support and advice. I have a bout 3st to lose :(

Hi Karen When I say low I am meaning in comparison to what I had been consuming. I am aiming at 1200cals a day but not going to get upset if I go over by a couple hundred as I know it will still result in a weight loss. SW is completely different (in my eyes) to other clubs. They do not have products on sale in the shops…

Morning all. So far so good. I got shin splints doing the C25K, did go 2 physio, rested up tried again & same thing happened. I've signed up 4 metafit classes which looks similar 2 insanity (which I also have in the house) so will get back on track. Also have the treadmill so really have no excuses & I live 5mins from the…

Thanks Guys, just the encouragement that I am needing. OH home today so going to be going a shop. Just making out my shopping list. Jackielou I never got any message through from you? Had a good day so far, absolutely freezing though. Think I turned the heating off this morning as my bill is going to be mahoosive. As long…

Well on SW you could eat pretty much anything on the Extra Easy plan but although I lost weight I think I could have lost so much more as I am terrible with portion control!!! This is why I am still following the rule of SW but tracking on MFP to make sure I keep the calorie intake low!!

Honestly it is not the diets that are the problem - I just like my food!!! I am ok when there are people around and that was when I was doing really well but OH started a job offshore and it was a case of of no one sees me eating it then it wont matter but of course it did as I ate it and am now stones heavier. I dont…

I do the 30DS and I just take it at my own pace but by the sounds of it you should be OK ie, Zumba, power walking numerous times a week - surprised you can find the time to do the 30DS :wink: Hope you enjoy and it is only 30min workouts including warm up/cool down :happy:

Forums at the moment cannot be accessed through the app. I find this a downside to the app as I am a member of a group but I have to log onto the net to take part in discussions. I have posted a comment to MFP re: this. Maybe more MFP followers need to put the request through. I used to do WW and ate limitless pasta - like…

Main Ringtone - Elbow One Day like this BF - Foo Fighters statues ring tone - high pitched notes email - door bell

Now this sounds like a good idea. Do you just put all in one bowl initially or make them individually them mix?

The Walden Farm dips etc sound lovely but I am in Scotland and it looks to be an American thing. If anyone knows of any UK suppliers please advise. For sweet stuff I would say sugar free jelly with sugar free dream topping which I think is the equivalent to jello & cool whip :happy:

I have just this minute finished typing up the story of Rainbow Bridge! For others unaware of this please read on.......... Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of…

I know exactly how you are feeling. I had moved away 200miles and had to leave my baby behind as I was moving into a flat and worked all day so she (Shari) stayed with my mum. She let me know on Wed 26th Jan that it was her time and she was going to have to be put to sleep. She had gone downhill fast and thought it best…

Hiya everyone I am Alison and I am originally from a town called Wishaw in Lanarkshire about 30miles outside Glasgow. I am now based in Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire. I have been an MFP member for about 1.5yrs now and I did lose nearly a stone but fell away and back to square 1 again. It would be nice to have some locals…

I feel the same, I think that I would purposely leave things off or change the quantities to make it work that so that I was within my calorie goal! For this reason I am keeping mine private!

I'm in - start weight 177.5lbs. I would like to lost the 7.5lbs by xmas. I will start on the next challenge :-)

My meal would be from the local indian and it is a Chicken and Doner Calazone with everything on it - it is massive and could be eaten over 2days so a little more than a 1 day cheat meal but totally worth it but also the reason that I am using this site!!!!!

I would chop it up and make a stir fry. Frozen stir fry packs are good for quickness and some are pretty tasty. We miz up an egg with some water and por into the veg and turkey with some dark soy sauce (add spices/chillis to you taste), serve accompaniment of your choice (I use rice noodles and stir fry these seperatley…

Wow its like I have written some of these comments. I do well until tea time then I might have something a bit naughty then think what the hell might as well eat what I want for the rest of the day and start again tomorrow - it never works. Going to have a nosey at www.fat2fitradio.com and see what this is like - I also…

I have been taking Green-T-Ext (I got this from EBAY along with caffine tablets after reading up on it) and have been taking for about a week and a half now but was away for the weekend so stopped them and back on again. What I will say though is that I got a very sore head with them and after reading up on side effects it…

I love peanut butter but have stopped eating it cos it is too fattening. I live in scotland, can I buy it here as never evenheard of it!!! Thanks

Thoughts are with you all and everyone in the area that is due to get hit. I have Sky News constant on my computer so will keep checking and fingers crossed that it is not as bad as everyone is expecting. Take care and keep safe x

I try to log everything in the morning when I get into work, that way I know if I am able to have a wee treat or snack. Usually do not know what having for dinner but I have the app on my phone so when I am preparing dinner and cooking it I update as I go. I find that by logging everything I am less likely to eat more than…

Probably best to disregard what I have said as it seems the P90X would be the more successful. I am not the fittest of people so I am quite happy to play about on the Kinect. I have wasted so much money on buying DVD workouts and equipment and I get fed up so easily that I end up giving the stuff away so lose out big time.…

Hi there I have not tried the p90x (dont actually know what that is!!) but I did get the Kinect last Wednesday complete with Adventures, Sports and Dance Central. Played a little on the Wedneaday night then the Thursday night we played for a couple of hours, on the Friday I felt like I had been put through the wringer…

I perhaps should just have mentioned that I am only having this in the morning as a detox thing, I am not doing it as a permanent thing - I like food too much and feel sick if I have not eaten anything. I have heard of the maple syrup thing and I know a lot of celebs use that but that is all fine and well if you have not…

Thanks all, the watch I have is a touch sensor and you just touch the side and the calories come up after about 10secs. I have never thought it to be that unaccurate but I was just wondering what other people thought. I might try that Polar one that was recommended - once I have the pennies!!!

Hey don't stress yourself out about it, that won't help at all as I've heard through the Biggest Loser that this can cause weight gain!!! Main thing is that you had a good time AND lost a wee bit of weight. By the sounds of it you are going too be to busy to eat never mind anything else. I don't know what the job is but if…
