I like the fitbit. They're not good after being in the washing machine though :(

best thing for shin splints is rest im afraid

Could be your body is craving carbs. Have a carb day once a week, it can actually help.

Lack of potassium. I started getting this while swimming. So painful. Eat a banana beforehand. Seriously, it works x

sorry my mistake

Forgot to say, up your protein intake. Makes you feel less hungry, and lower carbs. I was doing: Protein 150g, Carbs - 85g and 40g of fats per day, and about 1300 calories

Looks like you're eating convenience foods. Swap them out for homemade stuff, will make you feel fuller. Ive been off plan for the last 8-9 weeks. But I was on 1300 calories and it felt like I was eating a lot as it was all fresh / homemade etc.

Pink - Slut like you (If we could only have one song to workout to, id have this one. Gets me pumped up. I play it on repeat in the gym :D Sometimes its the only song I listen to in a whole gym session <3 The Gossip - Move in the right direction - gets my head in the right place Other Pink stuff like: So What, and Blow me…

I have soup with a shredded chicken breast added :)

I can see where you are coming from in a way... only from the point of view that if someone pisses me off, I take it out on the gym, and usually get a better workout done, but that's all. Bad road to go down if abuse towards you motivates you.

Awesome! Welcome back!!

There are gluten and dairy alternatives out there, and most supermarkets have sections for this. Try almond milk (its quite a nutty taste, but you get used to it and I prefer that to normal milk now). If you want bread, try the gluten free stuff, or try without bread, I dont miss it now. Its not the end if you are gluten…

Im 5ft 3 and 9 stone.I dont know what the ideal weight is, but im pretty happy with where I am at the moment.

You have to get out of your comfort zone and push yourself, and I think you ahve been given good advice. Its worth a go, and if you dont like it then adapt it to what you are comfortable doing. I started lifting and eating properly in November, Ive now lost 4.5 inches off my waist, dropped a couple of dress sizes, toned up…

Hi Tracy, feel free to add me. I keep my diary open and shared. I lost my motivation recently, but am starting again, and will be eating clean and exercising/lifting etc. Would love to join you on your journey x I dont eat exercise calories (I log all my exercise as 1 calorie and focus on getting a certain amount of…

I misheard my personal Trainer when I started doing them, and the name stuck... Goblin squats :D

well nobody should feel inferior, Im well below all that weights. All those big numbers.. im only doing things like goblet squats with 10kg weight, lat pulldowns 25kg, leg press 40kg etc. I dont think I'll ever get to the weight you lot are lifting!!

Today: Half hour lunchtime walk at work (mainly just to get fresh air!) 1 hour class of legs, bums and tums 50 minute Pure Abs class

Just keep trying toup your protein. Once I started looking at my macros, I got my personal trainer to sort out what I needed and we watched what reaction my body had. Took a while to get the macros right, but currently doing 1300 calories, 150g protein, 85g carbs, 40g fat. I have no problem hitting my protein goal, but…

43 here! Wishing I hadnt spent my 30's being a slob!! Feel free to add me as a friend, could be done with some friends around my own age :)

Feel free to add me too. My diary is open :)

Ah id like to do that as im a morning person, but I already get up at 5.45am on workdays. Struggle in the evenings sometimes, unless I go to the gym on the way home first.

How do you guys fit it all in?

I get weighed and then I get calipered on 12 different sites on my body by my PT

Ive gone from 30% to 16 in 6 months. Only 11lbs lost because Ive gained muscle. Weight is staying the same but body fat is dropping. I am lifting now. and no, no visible abs - just a jelly belly..

Im 43 and always happy to have more friends, and to be encouragement to others :) Feel free to add me

Please feel free to add me, Im always on the lookout for new friends, to motivate me and also for me to motivate them. Im 5" 3 and 60kg, I eat clean and have gone from 30% body fat to 16% in 6 months, and still counting :) x
