Drinking water is a myth. If you eat a normal healthy balanced diet, your body will get all the water it needs!!

I gave up smoking on 12th april after being a 30 a day smoker for 18 years. I found the patches very helpful, but others have said tablets like champix are better for them. Speak to your GP or find a quit smoking support group near you. I cant view your profile to establish where you are in the world, I'm in the UK so the…

LOL who are you? Judge frickin Judy???

people who have nothing better to do than moan :) GET A LIFE!!!

i use a heart rate monitor to calculate my cal burn, and so far, i've eaten my exercise back most days, give or take a few calories and i lost... mfp's calculations for cal burns are grossly overestimated

whatever!

Yeah? :/ show me where it tells you that in Natures Handbook!

[/quote] True watch panorama from last week. Proved sports drinks don't work unless your a super athlete 3 hours in on a very intense training session. Even then the effect is tiny. Few enlightening things on there. Not saying they are right with everything, but think they may have been with a lot of thigs. Their…

if u dont want to do resistance, try rowing machine and swimming, they are both good for toning, rowing has made a big difference to my toning as i can feel abs under the last remains of fat on my chest/tummy

utter rubbish... there is NO evidence to support this!! (and dont quote me reports that companies like Coca Cola (who make Powerade) or SKB (who make Lucozade Sport) quote, as they are complete CRAP!

over-hydrating can cause death... as the fluid will flood the body, but as someone previously said, it takes a lot.. simple answer is, follow your thirst.. if you feel thirsty, drink.. if you dont.. dont! simples :)

That is fantastic and inspiring!!

sounds to me like he is insecure, and scared of losing you cos when you look sexy as hell lots more other blokes will be eyeing you up, so kick him to the kerb and enjoy the attention of other guys .. one of which will support what you do, not ridicule!

decaf is just as good as normal coffee.. and with no caffeine :) i drink twining green tea with fruit and ginseng as a replacement for some cups of coffee too.. lush

i do 3-4 hours a day in the gym, burning anything between 1100-1500 cals, i get to eat what i like (within reason) :D

confused as there seems to be no definitive answer on this, approx 50% of my diet is carbs, with around a 25/25 split for protein and fats. most of my carbs are coming from cereal for breakfast, and fruit snacks during the day. i've lost 30lbs in 10 weeks thru hard work at the gym and balanced diet.. but i cant seem to…

without MFP i would be lost, but it helps me watch not only my calorie intake but also the breakdown of carb/protein/fat and help to make sure i am getting enough of each... 30lbs lost in 10 weeks... feel free to add me :)

polar ft7

only time i drink water in any quantity is when i am working out, to keep hydrated. i carry a bottle of chilled water with me all the time tho in case i want a drink, stops me buying crap sodas/fizzy drinks

i use HRM, and my daily burn is around 1100-1200cals when exercising. My TDEE is around 2100 cals without exercise, so i use 1200 as my base calories, + whatever i burn in exercise. I rarely hit go over the aggregate, usually only on gym rest days, i;ve lost 24lbs in 8 weeks. its slowed now, but thats the way it goes...u…

polar FT7 :) fantastic

i get rather fed up with some people saying "you're losing too much weight too fast".. i lost 21lbs in 5 weeks, and as far as i am concerned, i look better for it, i feel better for it... someone who trains told me before i started "listen to your body" and i do! i work out almost everyday for between 2.5 and 5 hours, and…

LOL!!!!

everybody hits plateaus, there is plenty of stuff online about overcoming them, usually the best way is to vary your exercise routines, but do search online for adevice :)

i eat a lot of fish (tuna, pilchards, salmon, crab, stuff like that), eggs, or chicken (grilled) .. full of protein :)

fantastic buddy!! that kind of thing is motivational isnt it??

incidentally, i am burning calories at a rate 0f 500-550 an hour on cardio, and 250 an hour on weights :)

can i suggest something that has worked well for me to keep the weight loss rate steady at around 3-4lbs a week? i workout 6 out of 7 days, but i find the key to a) not getting bored and b) keeping the weight loss going is variation. let me explain.. i work on a 1 day of cardio and 1 day of cardio and weights routine, for…
