well done on competing and finshing.....huge achievment regardless of your position in race

I'm from good old Aberdeen :) Feel free to add!

book a trainer appointment or ask one of the staff at the gym for a coulple of pointers.....they are there to help. Also you should try out some of the classes at the gym, so much more fun then just going yourself and I find that I'm too embarassed to be the one that stops in a class so push myself further!

will send you an add.....always looking to support/be supported!

21 from Scotland :) feel free to add!

Hey, I'm on my 3rd week of 5:2 and also from the UK - Aberdeen :) Will drop you an add, always looking for more supportive friends! Fast day today aswell!

Feel like i've ditched FB for MFP....its becoming such a natural part of my routine.....considering fully ditching facebook but then I think my friends that I see daily are on their. Feeling torn between supportive MFP friends and my FB ones!

Welcome!! Hope you find MFP as helpful as I do with tracking etc :) I hear you on the pringles thing.......why is it impossible to stop after a few?! Feel free to add me if you would like, I log everyday! :smile:

Yeah......I would probably log around the 500 mark or just over for one of those classes. Anyone know about Body Pump? Doesnt mention cals?

I'm doing the same :) fast days usually mon and wed - will send you an invite :)

my thighs.....totally becoming more toned and smaller its great!

Sorry to hear what you are going through and feeling. I can understand to some extent as my sister is a "recovered" anorexic but still has the odd struggles here and there. Theres a group called Body Gossip which I beleive she reads and follows on facebook and she find has helped alot - heres the link if you want to have a…

I always have a fresh orange and lemonade or a blackcurrent lemonade

I spoke to my instructor for each les mills class i did to get an idea of calorie burn so kind of went on that.......but just looked at the link from Les Mills and that quotes a higher burn than I thought.......tough one!! I agree they should be in database though!

I was recommended by a trainer to have protein shake straight after my work out. Find it works for me, fills my hunger and feel my repair. You need to see what works for you though......

I'm doing my first 5k in June........terrified! Barely made a 1k run on Friday haha!

"No one ever drowned in sweat"

I enjoy exercise and want to lose weight....... Problem I notice with some people on here is they seem to log massive calorie burns for some exercises when they probably don't actually burn as much (like posting 900 calories when i know its probably half that at 450)......if you did that then ate your calories back you…

With the start of most diets you usually lose the most in your first few weeks then becomes more steady. I agree with the above though use your measurements too :) I gained weight 2 weeks ago but dropped half an inch on my waist.....

get a better sports bra......I'm a G and my girls do not move a mm out of place when I exercise, its all in the correct support and fit!

21 :) always looking to find people at similar age!

DO NOT USE ADIOS!! (not only because you should do this healthy and by exercise / food) but because some one I know tried this and they "leaked" from their bottom - woke up one morning with green and weird coloured stuff coming out of them. Apologies for how disguisting this is for anyone who read haha!

The only thing that worked for me was not buying the snacks and having juice/water to hand

SCOTLAND :) 9.52 am sitting at work!

Firstly can I say 11.5 lbs in 6 weeks is great thats almost a 2lb loss a week! You must be doing something right. I'm currently trying out 5:2 diet to kick start loss again as put back on the weight i had lost! Could try that....but dont be discouraged by what you have already accomplished!

welcome back :) feel free to add me if you would like !

My gorgeous sequin LBD - stunning and so classy! Got it for my 21st (early present) about a stone lighter so can't wait to wear it!

All I can say is alot of this advice works, spent the last 3 days with my foot up - ice , massaging, stretching etc & my insoles arrived and it really is feeling alot better today. Still a bit sore but nothing like it was 7 days ago.... Thanks for all the tips / sharing guys! Hopefully I'll be able to keep on top of it and…

I think I am one of the lucky few who can never eat after a night drinking hangover or not. From my friends I know hangovers require calories.....don't worry about it too much, as long as you had a good time when drinking :)
