My weight goes up by a 5-7lbs!! Then rapidly back down...its all to do with water retention and inflammation. Options are drink loads of water, eat loads of fibre, reduce carb in take (just a touch), naturally water balancing tablets, probiotics, eat: bananas, pineapple, apple, celery......... Am afraid we women as the…

:) Hi there!! First of all you do aaaaalllooott of cardio, so if your dropping weight you may want to scale back on your runs and try adjusting your gym sessions so they are more weights dominated for sure. Try something like the ICF 5x5 programme- its a free strength programme which will introduce you into weight lifting.…

I am 5'3 130 and I have found that it doesnt matter what it says on the scale its all about fat loss. I eat a tonne of food a day, a lift weights- creating my own curves. So if you wanna keep or make curves and stay healthy and fit; eat well lift weights. I have managed to keep my E's this way and gained 2 pride inducing…

Bananas are awesome! Great for water retention too; ) My favorite smoothie is banana, pineapple, yogurt, protein powder plus this amazing ground flaxseed with cocoa

You could also speak to your doctor and switch contr You could also speak to your doctor and they will switch you to a more appropriate pill. This also happened to me whilst I took microgynon then I took Yasmin and taaa daaa bye bye extra pounds. Good luck

^^ great advice. Everything that I would have put

Thanks everyone! I think I was just about ready to go mental yesterday, this morning with your comments I feel ready for chest and back day

Firstly peanut butter is amazing don't cut it out!! Curve your intake to 2 tablespoons a day and then buy only organic no added sugar version....its more expensive but healthier and nutritious....whole earth is a good brand . As long as your exercising their should be no problem with this. The chocolate thing is a bit…

Hi everyone, am 25 going for 26 soon....no babies and unfortunately no fur babies either (am not allowed any in my rented flat) but I love people with fur babies who talk about them so add me please and share the love: )

Thanks guys this is really helpful, just need to start training now : /

Hi am Antoinette, I am 25 and an avid kickboxer. For years I've been meaning to sign myself up for something i.e. a 10k run however it just wasnt for me and a hectic university schedual meant I couldnt commit. A few days ago I came across the London Triathlon and signed up for an olympic race...then I did something really…

Circuit training, tabata, HIIT...are all workout which sound like they would suit you. They can be done at home/ in the gym/ in the garden...anywhere really and they focus on shooting your heart rate up/down for maximum fat/cal expenditure in sessions as short as 15mins: ) its not how long you work out but how hard you…

Hola Gang, I recently got a nike fuel band and as everyone knows they track your activity and calories. My question is simple...do i log on MFP the amount of calories i expended all day through my general activities and my exercise ooooorrrr do i just record the difference between my burnt calories before and after…

Am also a feul bander; p

I do mine in a sports bra and hot pants....they reveal EVERYTHING ha ha ha that way for me theres no escaping the truth

Hummmm It put me as a small frame and said I could go as low as 108lbs- but my goal went is within the ideal range so am taking that as a good sign. I've always felt that at round 113 I feel amazing although I was still like jelly. Thanks for this tool x

I have one blow out a week usually the night of my weigh day or the night after. I go mental, eating and drinking whatever I like but the next day it's back to the diet. This helps me with my moral and I am still able to loose weight. My trainer recommended this to me as she said a blow out once a week wether it be a…

Its he quality not the quantity of the exercise. I do a circuit in the morning usually 30- 45 mins then maybe a 10- 15 min run at night. Seems to be working so far. Sometimes a little adjustment period of letting loose can help you get motivated again. I personally allow myself one day a week to pig out (and I mean pig…

Mines 69, am happy with that. I shall measure again in a few weeks and see if am fitter; )

From my own experience I have found that by setting mini goals instead of bigger ones it's easier to keep track of what is right for you. I was once 180 pounds I lost a bit and got down to 140 and stayed like this for a year or so Ibecame unhappy again and dropped to 130 and now am currently working on dropping to below my…

Oh also be careful about where it is...does it run to your waist or potentail areas which may become stretched again i.e when having babies. This is something i took into consideration as i didnt want mine to stretch out like ive seen on other people

To be honest I have a huge tat on my rib cage that runs vertically from hip to rib cage. Depending on the amount of detail sweating may really irritate when it is in its first stages. I found mine as it was on my rib cage often came out from under the wrap and stuck to just about anything...bed clothes, the sheet...I think…

I practically live on this stuff. My taztziki reciepe is legendary, i use it to accompany turkey burgers or just as a dip with salad. Its simply greek yog with grated cucumber so its also a great way to get an extra veggie in there. If you want the reciepe then just send me a message. Otherwise greek yoghurt also can be…

Feel your pain dude. Basically sounds like you need to up the after burn effect which is your metabolism AFTER you workout so your metabolism is ticking over at a higher rate for a longer period of time. Thing is about cardio and weights they have a limited after burn effect. Also i key thing is that its the quailty of the…

I weighed 131 pounds last year and was soooo unhappy. I undertook a vast training programme and dropped to 113 pounds and felt great. I am also small, at just 5ft 2. I have to say am not that weight now, but my goal weight is 113 pounds or lower because i feel happier at these lower weights as i am a small person. The…

I think like other people have already said just to keep practising to build strength little by little but also may think about some other training as whilst sit up may strengthen the core they do not burn that much belly fat unfortunately. This is something that has plagued my body ambitions. You can do squats make sure…

Well Ive been doing kickboxing for about a year now and i can honestly say that for me its given me strength/ weight loss/ confidence. It improves your cardio ten fold (in my opinion). I think the great thing about under taking a sport like this is that it clears your mind of outside distractions and gives you an hour or…
