banana, eggs, almond or coconut milk or water, coconut flour (not much at all!) buckwheat flour, protein powder & vanilla roughly follow the proportions for pancakes - fiddling with the amounts til it seems right - they end up different every time!

a good hrm is essential: polar hrm - with gps if possible - rcx5 is great but pricey use gps and pedometer apps on phone then sync everything thru mfp - endomondo is handy for that just got a fitbit and it's fun and motivating but not essential

golf ball!

wake up and drink water first.

fantastic writing! you should write a book.

Marianne Kane myomytv - great videos http://www.myomytv.com Can you do a class or workshop to give it a try and learn the basic moves and see if it's your thing?

try following a program like new rules of lifting (for women) or drop 2 sizes (rachel cosgrove) or any of the others you will find mentioned on here. They will give structure to your workouts, show and tell you what to do, give you the confidence to try new stuff and will give you a good full body workout - they are…

i just ruined a really good day with a handful of jelly babies!

love your writing! wish i could express myself so well, you've told the start of my story and someday i will join you at the body i'm happy with

'oh you are looking so much better, now all you need to do is live on lettuce leaves for the next few months and it will come off so much faster' from someone who loves to give advice but never listens and struggles with similar weight issues and has only ever managed lettuce leaves for a day, and complains but never trains

Check out Rachel Cosgrove's 'Drop 2 Sizes' - tougher than the title and cover suggests. It's a 12wk program with both eating and exercise program laid out. Then check out the 'new rules of lifting' series by her husband

try following 'New Rules of Lifting for Women' or 'Drop 2 Sizes' Rachel Cosgrove

didn't know they were in the UK...off to check if any near bristol!

thanks for that - i'm a total plodder - slow and steady and i think it's time to work on improving my running form

how do you work out which way you run? and how do you switch to running forefoot first...as a novice i'm just out there glad to be running of sorts, but i'm sticking to my super suportive cushioned trainers and keeping my barefoot ones for lifting in the gym

i'm about to give it a go ... i love NRL4W and strength gained but going to take a break and do 12weeks of this for some real fat burning.

you look fantastic! and your 1,2,3 are spot on!

my girls!

totally agree! this happens, move forward don't try and make up for it. don't beat yourself up, another day you'll be under or do a load of exercise,

fantastic!!!!

turkey! and check out 'potatoes not prozac' by kathleen demaisons

New Rules series are books there's loads of info and group here on mfp....that's how i got hooked also groups on facebook for support, motivation and info also agree that Jillian Michaels 30ds is not really a weight workout....it's a great workout esp for doing at home alongside weights at the gym

totally keep at it - i've worked my way up to 10k race and i started just going round the block lampost by lamppost not that long ago!

brilliant time! might have seen you there it was an amazing day for it - i was pleased just to have finished

ran a 10k race after years of watching and cheering everyone else on! a few months ago i could just about do 3k and had never done more than 8k before today

totally agree! or New Rules of Lifting for Life is the more up to date version of NRL4W - think it's a bit easier to follow and also can be used by total beginner and the experts

couscous is made from millet, wheat or barley flour rolled into balls. it is not a grain in its own right, so it is similar to pasta really.
