I am just starting out with powerlifting but I am in too high a weight class, so perhaps I will have to drop maybe 10-20kg :( Looking forward to hearing tips on how to drop fat without losing strength gains

I'd love to join - i'm starting an 8 week challenge today as well so i'd love to add some new friends to support me and help support you too!

That is very impressive! Well done to you! I squat currently 70kg (154 pounds) free squat 3 sets of 10. After that I'm wrecked. BUT factor in... I weigh 78kg (171 pounds)... so it's not quite what I weigh.. I don't see any guys at my gym being impressed with that LOL. I believe you should think about the weight as relative…

Hi there, Good question, i've been using BCAA's for a while now. I don't think that they make as much difference as something like Creatine or L-Glutamine but it can't hurt :) Check out bodybuilding.com for more research.. I think they prevent muscle catabolism ?? breaking down... but i can't be sure that is or isn't…

Feel free to add me. I log every day and I juice/fast every now and then. I am thinking that I need to go on a cleanse soon, its not long till my birthday and I really want to drop some KGs quick, and nothing is happening, even though i go to the gym 5-6 times a week! Any tips for juicing?

I agree, it is super hard on the weekend. I'm really lazy so if I don't have something pre-prepared, I'll binge on junk. My first rule is that I don't buy junk. No biscuits. No chips/crisps. No chocolate (i buy Cacao powder & would have to make brownies from scratch). No processed junk. So it's hard to get a quick fix. The…

Feel free to add me. I think its great to support each other through our fitness journey :)

I agree. I make my diary visible for a few reasons. I look at other peoples diaries for inspiration / food ideas. I want people to check my day to give me tips on what i should/shouldn't eat It gives you accountability for what you eat/ exercise I think it helps everyone to get and give feedback. If you hide it, you may as…

Hi there, I think that there are a few nutritionally correct juice combos on MFP I would either use those, use some recipes that are already programmed (like Mean Green juice from the Reboot website) Or i would just log the food that you are juicing and see how that goes- obviously the fibre would be removed but all the…

Hi Guys, I am on Day one of my juice fast and I wholeheartedly commend you both! I am looking at pieces of fruit and veg thinking i should EAT something... I'm even looking at muffins, donuts, junky food i wouldn't normally eat and considering it. Does this happen to you? I am having mad cravings for some pasta! I've made…

Feel free to add me! I am on every day!! Support network is the best for being healthy long term x

I can't wait to start! I have just started run-walking so when I can't continue to run, I'm still moving. Any other tips I could use? Kind Regards, Bel

Good luck with it. I'm about to start a juice fast soon so can't wait!

I find the same problem as a vegetarian, and also as a lecturer I can't just eat whenever I like. For breakfast I eat oatmeal with soy milk which is filling and a slow release of energy. I don't eat dairy but I do eat eggs and I find if I eat eggs in my salad, or snacking on a boiled egg in between classes/meals. Also, for…

Wow! You look amazing! congratulations and stick with it!!!

Happy Birthday to you! what an awesome reminder of how far you've come in your journey!! So proud of you!

Is there any way you can download a class? i'd like to watch the Les mills classes for exercise at home / at work. Are these available anywhere?

Hi everyone, Its great to see so much good advice. I have a problem that once I cover 5km... thats it for me, I pretty much hit a barrier and I can't do anymore. My body says I couldn't do any more, my brain says 'you've done enough' and my muscles the next day tell me the same. Is there any way of beating this…

What a great post with lots of good advice! Have you lost weight with the green smoothies? Do you need to freeze all the fruit/veg? or just the fruit?

Hello there, I hope I can be a motivating buddy too!! Good luck with your fitness goals!

Hi there, I just started using my fitness pal and I'm wondering if any of the juice fasts worked for you? I'm looking at starting one tomorrow (always tomorrow, never today) and i'd like some recipes to use. Any advice? :) Please feel free to add me as I need some inspiration. Mant thanks! Bel
