  • My seedless grapes had seeds in so I had to spit them out like a wild beast. Also my iPhone 5 autocorrects ill to I'll when I don't want it to. :-(
  • How many negatives can you do. Are you doing hands at shoulder width palms facing forward? I started be able to do 1 ( proper pull up) after two weeks using negatives I could do 4 full pull ups un assisted. For the negative ones I focused on coming down as slow as possible. Is weird but the first set is my worst then by…
  • In response to do you have to keep up with Mr T. I hope not as I had to add an extra minute or two between a few of the breaks and when we were doing the level one drills ( I'm just finished with day two) my arms were killing me. I even fell over on one of the basket ball things as I sunk too low. So much for the Jelly…
  • Just to chip in. I'm from Erdington Birmingham. Not found anyone closer than wolves of Halesowen so far I'm on a mission. Perhaps I should knock on my neighbours door and introduce him to my fitness pal lol Ben Feel free to add me as a friends I'm always looking for new ones now that I'm finally committed to logging and…
  • By century I meant recently lol
  • Hey I started today too. Maybe we can keep in touch over this forum. The fit test was a killer! I've got back out of shape century so I'm seeing this as my way in. The only problem I'm seeing with the nutrition is being vegetarian but I'm working on upping my fake meats lol. Good luck with it I'm looking forward to day two…
  • Hi peeps. I started the fit test today. I'm a vegetarian/ vegan and am struggling with the protein but I think I'm eating pretty clean. I took all round photos today but every day I plan to take a frontal photo for a sort of video log at the end. Don't be disheartened though as you are improving your cardio and killing…
  • Bump for obvious hilarious reasons. Still laughing at ain't nobody got time for that, I use it daily, in my head, because I'm strange.
  • Hey people. I'm starting on Monday as I'm working early shifts this week so a bit tired. I'm hoping its going to help me lose the 16 pounds over the course of the 60 days. I did half of p90x but gave up even though I was seeing great results. My only down fall is that I have a holiday planned halfway through. The best…
  • Sounds interesting a bit like a virgn Bloody Mary. My morning starter has become Cinnamon porridge oats a banana and a berrocca. And I'm set for my 4am starts this week!
  • bump will read later. birmingham here. i have about a stone to go before im happy with weight again write more later Ben x
  • Hey everybody, after two weeks of cycling too and from work I'm pleased to say I'm really enjoying being back on a bike. That said my thighs are rock solid but in a kinda good way though i know i will be resting them tomorrow. Yesterday In my work break I cycled 2 miles to the post office only to find I had no address for…
  • I think purely from what I have seen in magazine and stuff I think flat stomachs not showing abs look the nicest on men and women (That coming from a gay man, does my opinion still count lol). I have no idea what other men think is sexy but I think that abs and too much muscle showing through the skin is a bit over the top…
  • I go by about a teaspoon full rounded of butter is about 10grams which is what I use per slice of toast. Possible to get two slices out of 15 gramms too. Table spoon i always use 3 teaspoon I am also in the UK and understand the dilema. one cup is 8oz or 250 ml but a cup of vegetables??? whats that ha ha! Good luck. ps I…
  • My other favourite is choosen/chosen. I too am an advocate of good grammar but unfortunately my brain lets me down. I am terrible at sentence structure and spend hours arranging and rearraging all my courswork for university lol. I do think that the English language is fantastic and should be respected. Saying that it…
  • @LisaK, Thanks for that I'm looking forward to saving a little bit of the planet too lol @Gwynh, I too love the rush from cycling. I like it when I have the energy and the roads are quiet. Top gear all the way to work at 5.30am this morning. Shame it was only 1.3 miles lol but hey its another 75 calories I burnt in 5…
  • I haven't read through all the posts yet but last week I picked up a mountain bike which I will also be using for work everyday. I am a total novice but I start my new job on the 26th and intend to cycle at least one way a day to work (5.0miles/8km). So my goal each week will be 25 miles which isn't to shabby for a newbie.…
  • I fail miserably. I figure that I'm best at not drinking anything unless it is a planned night out. I can't do 1 or 2, only several. So my way round is to have one really good time once in a while instead of my old ways of drinking anytime I had an excuse. I do find that partner and friends get dissapointed when I don't…
  • I'm incredibly judgmental all the time. Only in my head. I don't ever say horrible things or laugh at people. I got terrible when I was doing so well with my weight loss. Its hard to remember all the hard work you put in each and everyday. Sometimes its really difficult and sometimes it feels like nothing, its important to…
  • Got a mountain bike at the weekend and have given up using car for work. Figured I could use the bike instead. Hoping it will burn a few extra calories. I'm not weighing myself till the weekend but i feel a tiny bit smaller belt-wise! Finally feel on top of things since the holiday. Can't wait to get back down to 12st as…
  • I'm back after eating back more than a stone. To be fair I don't look much different but the jeans are getting tight. I've always blamed my job which involves sitting down for 9 hours a day, so the good news is I start my new job on the 26th of this months which involves being on my feet all day everyday meaning i will be…

  • I'm a musician. I can't professionally call myself a songwriter because I haven't had anything published yet, but its what I do. Piano Guitar and vocals and anything I can pick up and blow pluck or strum. I don't think you are allowed to advertise on here by I have a myspace page and a reverbnation page if anyone wants a…
  • Fair does I'm in. I weigh 174lbs today and I want to reach 160-165 by July 4th. That would put my BMI btween 23-24 which is comfortably healthy. I lowered my body fat earlier this year when i did half a round of P90x but i have no idea how much. Body fat calipers are hard to do yourself. I couldn't commit properly so i…
  • Back again after posting once last time. I am a season ticket holder for the wagon. I always fall off and get back on. This month was pretty special though as of Saturday I will have completed my first month of no smoking and/or nicotine for the first time in my life. I know it only been five years of smoking but a big…
