I get about 6 hours sleep per night. This is my 'normal' sleep. Even at weekends I tend to naturally wake up after 6 hours.

Well, I don't like breakfast so I have a shake in the morning (about 200kCals) Then I have a mid morning snack. 2 crumpets or toast with dairy lea cheese or sometimes I don't even have a snack. I always have lunch, often a pre-prepared cooked meal. About 300 - 500kcals Then I would have a snack at about 3-4pm about…

I normally go over about 300 - 500kCals. Twice a week I stay in my 'fat burning zone'. Once a week, I do a high intensity cardio (often out of breath) Once a week, at home doing sit ups, dips, plank, push ups and working on the floor with my body as resistance.

Yes, Dana is right. Caffein does aggravate it and so does alcohol. Foods To Avoid With Menstrual Cramps This is another way to help ease menstrual cramps, and to prevent painful periods. Caffeine and alcohol should be completely avoided, which to some maybe a hard thing to give up but your body and mind will be better off…

I find those heat in the microwave buckwheat pillows work. I have one in my drawer at work, it seems to relax the muscles there. Wear loose clothing, jeans seems to 'cut in'. I also get very bad lower back pain, so I use a shiatsu massager I bought from a website called Argos. It's about £60 and I find it helps loosen the…

I've made friends! :-)

No Curves Complete is with the weight management programme, food diaries et.c

I'm afraid I've lost 6lbs by eating breakfast. Well in my case drinking mine. I have a protein shake every morning to kick start my metabolism. I can't face the thought of having to eat in the morning. I've lost my 6lbs in just over a month. It's caused me to stop craving for sugary junk at 11am. I don't think eating…

Sugar and margerine butties. Doughnuts except Krispy Kremes. Fruits.. I used to love them and now I really really struggle to eat them. I only can bear them if I blend them into a milkshake, smoothie or juiced. Except bananas and clementines. I could eat them. :-)

If you're fat you could diet.. but if you're ugly.. well it'll have to be surgical.. So I suppose a pretty face! :-D

I have it every morning because I feel to ill / nauseous to eat breakfast. As a result of it kick starting my metabolism earlier in the day (instead of my usual lunch being my first meal) I've lost 4lbs in the past 2-3 weeks. May I recommend USN's diet fuel. The strawberry flavour is best. I don't know if you can purchase…

Thank you! Best answer!

So how do you gain muscle? As I understand eating excess calories is required but how best to ensure those excess will turn into muscle and not fat? or does it turn into a little bit of both? If it turns into a little bit of both, how best to lost the fat after without losing the muscles just gained? Thanks

I go to one in Kent. I love the upbeat music, I love not having to think which machine to get on next. I love that it's women only. (no meat heads) :-) I love weigh and measure day! It keeps me good!! :-)

My favourite is the arm one, the one where you pull down (not sure what it's called) and the Hip Abduction and Adduction The hip abductor/adductor machine allows you to work your inner and outer thighs by abducting and adducting your hips. Sit on the seat of the machine and place your legs between the pads. Spread your…

I don't think you're able to get the curves remixed versions unless you're a curves franchise owner (or very good friends of the owner) who could provide you with a copy. They have bought their rights to their mixes I'm afraid...

I've got a few girlfriends who have used curves smart in conjunction with their heart rate monitor. The calories burned are overly exaggerated. She showed me she burned about 300, curves smart was nearly 600. Furthermore, it only tracks one session. If you choose to stay on the circuit a wee bit longer. it wont' work. All…

I use them. They stop me feeling hungry (and therefore peckish). I notice many 'diet' ones contain caffeine and other 'fat burning' ingredients. Unless you're considering starving yourself during the day until you feel hungry I'd stay clear of the caffeine laced ones. I recommend regular protein shake (no caffeine) and…

Not really in London. I like in Kent. I work near Greenwich

Hi Kim, quick question. What causes you to eat? I feel 'hungry' when I'm bored. I'm 'hungry' when I'm thirsty What's your vice? Perhaps if we get to the cause.. we can resolve the symptom.. eating. :-D

Well I probably get angry once or twice a year. I generally don't get angry. I did when I was with my ex. He hit me so I hit back. I was brought up to never throw the first punch (but always finish! LOL)

It did help me as the main think that stopped me going to the gym was fear. Fear of being looked at, fear of being fat, fear of being slow, fear of everything. Curves felt warm, welcoming and not intimidating.

It depends if you're planning to just lose weight or really targeting your body fat / ripped. :happy: If you want to really cut that fat. You need to maintain your muscle (added protein) you can eat lots of steaks and chicken breasts or if you're like me who don't even like meat then you can eat lentils and other pulses…

You're right with everything except 0.8 gram of protein per 2.2lbs. 1 gram per 1lb will give you diarrhea! LOL :noway:

I use Sci-MX they used to be USN. Their shake comes in chocolate and strawberry flavour. It's probably one of the few ones I enjoy and look forward too. It has egg whites which makes the shake creamy without adding milk. I don't feel like I'm on diet then as it tastes like a naughty shake. I must admit it's slightly…

Nothing beats eating real food. But if you're skipping a meal or can't be bothered to make something best have a shake, it'll stop you snacking or rubbish. (I graze on nuts, chips, sweets when I skip a meal)

I've lost my last four pounds on diet shake. It helps me purely because I hate eating breakfast and it helps me kick start my metabolism. I eat normally for lunch and sometimes replace my dinner with a diet shake purely because I'm rubbish at portion control and would gorge on 1000kCal a meal. Easy. It depends on what sort…
