In my humble experience I would eat something carbs within half an hour of training to replace energy and take a protein drink to aid in tissue/muscle recovery.

So...how was it then? :-)

Was going to say I run all the time and my fastest 5k is 25 mins!! Well done you! You will easily do the 5k on sunday !! :-)

I would stick to wine or beer, mainly for your health. The liver can digest this a lot better than spirits! I have stopped drinking 80% of the time now an use the same rule as I do for food. 80% good...20% bad! I exercise 3-5 times a week. You don't have to give up things you enjoy afterall it's a lifestyle, not a diet…

You look fabby! :happy:

I am desperate to lose 12lbs before xmas, which is doable if my social life remeains not very busy over the next few weeks lol

You must be doing something wrong coz my mate lost loads of weight on the takeaway diet! Maybe you should buy the food and take it home....that could help??

You look much smaller than a 12-14. I am your height and 21lbs more than you and am in a size 12. YOU look AMAZING!!!

I love Strawberry Nitrotech by Muscletech!! It tastes like Angel delight! It is 80% pure whey isolate too so doesn't give me tummy ache :-). It is more expensive then PHD and ON etc but it is the premium range. It does have 20% whey concentrate in it for the nutrients but it is good if you aren't too good with lactose.

Thanks! Doesn't seem worth it really but the results are good :-)

Well done, although I would say it looks a bit big on you now ;-). By Christmas it will be far too big. x

I take my calories from the key machine at the gym. TOday I burnt 469 cals doing running, kinesis, floor work nd weights. I log it as gym session that I input manually :-)

Agree with this. I think it silly to log everyday stuff. I don't log walking to the shops or to school as it's a must in my life as is cleaning :-)

Haha! I love this and totally agree! ;-P

Same here and a couple of times a month I will indulge and wake up with a hangover! :-{

I put this in as 35 mins circuit training :-)

If it doesn't hurt to walk then trade it for power walking on a gradient? Better for you than running anyway, although I too love running. Hope it gets better quickly x

We sell hydroxycut for our clients. It was recalled over a year ago and the certain ingredient, isn't in the product anymore. The reactions based in the news were from a small percentage of the people who tested them so therefore our client removed from the market and reproduced the product. Saying that I would read up on…

thanks all! Have changed my daily intake to 1500 net. Am ill at the mo so have had 2 days off the exercise and will just go for a walk tomorrow instead of the gym. Will see what happens in the next month :-)

It doesn't mean I can't eat more?? I was asking for advice and just explaining a bit about my life, that's all. I don't get what you mean?

thanks guys. My problem is I want to do everything. I love Jillian michaels so do her shred and 6 pack. I love walking so try to do this twice a week and I love the gym so try to do this twice a week too. It changes on a weekly basis but I also have to fit in 3 kids and their sport and school activities etc, oh and work,…

Some days I have only eaten 900ish cals and some days I have eaten 1800. So if i need 2200ish to maintain my weight including the exercise I do then I reckon I should be on around 1700 a day. I may need to up my calories a bit. I aim for 1270 a day if not exercising.

I did my first one on monday and my back is killing me where I have used muscles I don't normally (and I exercise a lot). My thighs ache too. I think it's just moving the muscles in a different way. The more you do the better you will feel but make sure you warm up and down properly :)

but that's to lose only 1lb a week by calculations, I am not even losing that?

Ah right. I didn't want to offend :-)

Oh my god! WHat a difference. I think she has done really well BUT in the last picture in her bikin she looks as if she is nearly anorexic. Sorry :-()

WOW! Your legs now look beautiful! I know what it's like to live with an eating disorder and I hope you are well on your way to recovery and love the way your body is changing for the better :-)

Can I also just add that you will be a lot better off drinking the sports drinks over water in a long distance run. THe sports drink will replenish lost salts, sugars and keep you energised and your tank full. The water will quench your thirst but nothing else, infact it will help with the loss of salts as you will be…

Wow! You are doing really well!
