You must be my twin!! Im a gummy bear person to haribos are my fav. Im still trying to track each day its not easy i start grazing and dont stop im starting to question most of the food i put in my mouth though so its a little progress

I normally do it as he works away, if he comes with me when hes home we get to the checkout and all these treats appear :| temptation is sometimes hard to resist. I am going to make a much better effort to avoid this and to make better choices, thankyou

Maybe you could try going for a walk or the gym so you have dinner later then you might not want to binge later at night. Or get up early for a run then you are tired at night and have an early night, you cant eat if you are sleeping :D . Its so difficult i to can snack in between meals i get frustrated at my lack of self…

Your weight is totally within normal, i feel the same as you, i over eat alot, its so frustrating. I exercise around the same as you slightly more, i get up at 5am to run then go to the gym for weights in the evening to stop me from eating too early or just generally eating :), i do this 5 days a week. if i eat early i…

Me to!! Im a snacker, it doesnt help my diet. My exercise is great im completely motivated. Food is my problem if only we didnt have to eat :smile:

Aww im so glad there are others the same as me! Its such a struggle and i could easily binge eat on those days i track to a certain point then dont - more through embarrassment of what i have eaten, dont get me wrong its not thousands of calories but it can go around 500-800 over what i should be eating. Pure greed and no…

Ive never heard of xanthan gum? This sounds good though i will google see if its available in the UK. Thanks

on the plus side because of this chat i managed to get through the whole morning without a snack :wink: ...thanks guys!

TOTALLY TRUE.....everyone loves an excuse! Im ruining my exercise by my eating habits....stupid but its life for me for now....not forever :smiley:

Thanks everyone...im on a learning curve with my calories and eating habits that will come in time and hopefully allow me to make the right choices. Oh i dont drink loads but i could help myself by not having that glass of wine with my dinner at the weekend and saving drinks for when im actually going out or have something…

Thanks folks my husband just can eat when he wants - thing is he rarely buys it, its me that buys it when hes home so i need to stop that i only have myself to blame :# I run most mornings at 5.30am then do a class in the evening - as they say you can never out run a bad diet. I have found it much more difficult to get…

[quote="What would you say are the obstacles besides the days your husband is home and the secret pocket munching? [/quote] Its most definitely wanting to join him while he eats a whole tub of ben and jerrys or cheese and crackers - this is after dinner. I dont eat till around 7pm sometimes later so im not hungry in anyway…

I eat at about a 10% deficit to my TDEE. For you that 1781 calories a day at the lowest TDEE number. Something to think about. I know quite a few CF folks calculate their calorie intake this way then tweak it until they get the results they want. [/quote] Thankyou so much i did find these calculations on here so i did it…

Thanks for your reply. I just did my BMR/TDEE and its coming in at 2094 cals per day minus 20% which is 1675 cals per day. My worry is that do you not have to burn 3500 cals a week in order to lose just 1lb. I definately dont burn that in a week :(. I might be confusing myself and myfitnesspal is calculating that i will…

Yeah I hurt myself twice on them and it's knocked my confidence but like you all say I need to keep trying. I'm definately going to force myself to jump and not step up, I am just getting too comfortable with stepping up that I gave up trying to jump, plus I'm a lot faster at stepping up probably because I've done it for…

Thanks everyone, well tonight we were outside and I got someone to hold the 20' box down & I managed! Weirdly though I had to step on the box & do my first jump from the box up not from the ground up and I had a few jittery moments but all in all I did it, still nervous but goofing to work on that. Great advice thanks x

Angus, Scotland - WGA - great box!

Add me to! Ive been doing crossfit since last July x

So pleased to say i got the double unders yaaay! Practice practice practice, ok so i cant do anymore than 15 at a time but im getting there. I watched you tube videos, bought a crossfit rope, which was way too thin to be starting with it was sooo painful when i whipped my legs or bum, so used a slightly thicker one which i…

I have so many goals i want to achieve in crossfit. I really need better upper body strength pull ups - im doing assisted pull ups but still tap my toe on the box and i need to get that box away from my feet if i try i only manage 2 at a big push! Next goal im currently working on is getting over the fear of the boxjumps!…

Me to! I haven’t lost a single pound started crossfit 4 months ago when I stopped smoking I go 3 x week, run 2 x week and bootcamp 2x week. But on the plus side I haven’t put on weight and I have lost some inches. It gets depressing not seeing the scales move but I love crossfit so much I dont want to give it up. I to only…

I go 3 x week but only started 6 weeks ago. I continue to run between 10-15miles a week mainly in the morning, 1 hour of bootcamp weekly and as the weather has been great here just now I bike around 30miles a week I normally have 1 day rest a week – just need to sort out my eating habits now!

Thanks for the replies – I watched a couple of you tube videos on how to and once I stop trying to jump so high and panicking I MIGHT actually manage even one. I can get the rope round twice but like littlelawson8 it stops at my feet. I will check for a good rope im 5ft 2 and using ropes that come up to my head they aren’t…

You look absolutely brilliant well done!

I posted here so i could get replies from others who i knew would have been in my situation. My crossfit trainer has been training in all aspects of sports for 24 years - he entered his first bodybuilding comp when he was 16 so i value his advice and experience. He in no way shouts at anyone or tries to push them further…

Thanks

Bump

Bump for later

So I'm back from my first official crossfit and I loved it though honestly showed me that I'm not as fit as I thought! I'm training for tough mudder at end August so this is going to be great training or it. Thanks to you all who supported me & gave me the confidence to turn up for it :smile:
