I dunno if I feel dirty/gross if I can't work out, but I do feel clean (obviously not physically clean, cos of the sweat) when I do work out, kind of the same thing!

I had a simillar issue with my knees caving in and my trainer told me to practice bw squats using a swiss ball at my back and with a resistance band round my calves.( Like the girl in the 2nd picture here http://www.fitsugar.com/Squat-Walks-Resistance-Band-22554623 ) After doing this for 5 weeks, I've been able to start…

I have trouble with leaning forward too and my physio gave me some exercises the other day to try and counter it. I put a 5kg plate under each of my heels, and keep the front of my foot on the floor. this forces me to push down fully through my heels when raising up and stops me from leaning forward. Since I've started…

I wouldn't bother with the HRM while you're at work. A HRM is meant to measure steady state cardio exercise. You would have burned a good chunk of that 1051 anyway by just being alive for 8 hours. For example I am 30, 5'8 and weigh 189 lbs. My body needs roughly 1600-1700 calories a day just to keep me alive Ie if I was…

I'm in the middle of a bit of a binge cycle at the moment, I'm working with a counsellor to deal with it and I had been doing really well, but I messed up last weekend and I can't get right. One thing I find helps is to do my food shopping online. If i can't see the food, I'm not tempted by it. if I do have to go to the…

Oh add me in too, I've had a few bad binges in the last week and could do with some support

Snap! I once lost 30 lbs, and my knees were still fat! they'll never be any other way, I've accepted it, and wear dresses/ skirts every day (just nothing that stops right at the knee that would highlight them) besides Beyoncé has fat knees and she's fab!

I have one tub of a pretty rank tasting, natural flavour pp, I mix half a scoop of it in with a strawberry one that I like and its fine. The strawberry one masks the flavour, and the Natural flavour crap actually neutralises the sweetness of the strawberry (it can sometimes be a bit sicky sweet in the morning.)

I like the baby food Idea! so simple!

Age: 30 HW: 213 SW:200 CW:192 GW:160 I eat 1550 cals a day for a projected wl of 1lb per week, exercise 3/4 times a week combo of cardio and weights. Overall goal I want to be a size 8/10 (uk sizing) healthy fit and strong...and happy :)

I switched over from weight watchers too, I got to my goal in 2011, and slowly gained it all back, I'm giving mfp a go now hoping to make a better more sustainable change. The first thing I had to tackle when switching over, was my thinking, in weight watchers everything is focused on points and seeing a loss on the…

I do 3/4 weight sessions a week, in the gym and will warm up for 10/ 15 mins with cardio, either using the spin bikes, or battle ropes and sled. if I want to do any additional cardio I try and do it out in the real world by either cycling or walking (If i do it in the gym I just get bored and go pick up the weights, at…

I'm in a simillar boat, I'm BM for my best friend in Sept, she and the other bm's are sizes 6, 8 and 10, when we first went looking for the dresses they had to order mine in an 18 : (

I wake up at 5:45 have 4/5 brazil nuts, pecans or walnuts and a glass of water. then head straight to the gym working out by 6.30, drink 1.5 Litres of water min during the workout and start my protein shake towards the end of my strength training going in to my stretches. After the gym its full breakfast time.

I'm 5'8.5 and My current weight is 192, I got down to 161 as my goal weight in weight watchers a few years ago, and I had to FIGHT my way there. 161 would be seriously had for me to maintain, I just happened to get it that one time as my mother passed away then and I couldn't bring myself to eat! This time, I'm cherishing…

Thanks everyone, thats a good point about increasing cals when coming over from ww. Initially when I started weights I was so hungry I needed to eat all my exercise cals (btw I don't trust mfp for the exercise cals I use my hrm) but thats evening out now. I might stop logging my exercise cals in mfp altogether and just…

Thanks for that, I'll have to go and have a look at how I've set up my goals as I can't remember. Can't believe I might have been double eating my exercise!! that does make sense, as I tend to lose weight on weeks I don't go to the gym (twisted my ankle and didn't go at all last week and lost 2 lbs!) DAMN! I suppose it…
