Last time I spoke to the dr (I'm uk based so it was the nhs) they weren't really concerned as it doesn't prevent me from doing anything - they were more like "well we got you walking again our work here is done!" I have no idea how to get referred to a sports doctor! A private clinic I guess?

Also a vote for c25k, and also the trainers. You mentioned that you have tried a few brands, but even within brands you get different types - I have Nike lunar glides as they are the right level of support for me, but most of the other ones they make just don't work for me. So a gait analysis will really help you get the…

OP I do the same- I batch cook at the weekends and assemble 150 cal "snack bags" so I save time in the week. All the meals are in Tupperware with the cals written on them, so I can just quick add as needed. I also get no mob signal at work so can't search for anything. I don't track macros tho so it's quite easy my way. My…

My profile pic was a S.H.I.E.L.D logo for a while....so I'm probably less of a 'closet nerd' and more just a regular one!

Bump *runs to supermarket for ingredients*

Strawberries, cut in half, add some (really good quality) balsamic vinegar, leave for an hour or so, serve with yoghurt, creme fraiche, ice cream...anything really. Sounds odd at first, but its really good, and super low cal depending on what you have it with.

My knee gave out on me in the week...but made it through the workout today, go knee!!!!

Hey, I log every day (last 4 days away tho! Hol :) yay) would love a few more friends! Cal goal is 1900 with exercise included. Good luck!

Cyrus beane - scandal Can't believe scandal wasn't mentioned before! Faith - BTVS Sam axe (aka chuck Finlay!) - burn notice And Oliver Queen - Arrow....if for no other reason then the awesome training montage at the beginning!

Log in advance if you can, especially if eating out - avoids any surprises later!

Added another 2.5kg to my leg extension - after months of being stuck! Yay!! :smile:

1) your too clumsy to ride a motorbike, don't do it 2) trust yourself more - every decision you make is the right one if it's right for you at the time 3) pay more attention at uni, it's so awesome you don't want to miss any of it

Bump!

Check if you gym offers any help with programme set ups/teaching how to use the weights/machines. Mine does this at no extra cost, so I can get a new programme done every 8 weeks without cost. I did a session with a personal trainer though when I wanted to start free weights, which I found helped a lot.

If you have pastry - a sausage roll?

I *think* mine is open! but I probably use far too many calories on gin then you should aim for!

I made something similar that I had in the fridge for 3/4 days and they were ok, but good advice from peraverde in freezing them!

Nachos will ALL the toppings I can pack on! Haven't decided on dinner tomorrow.....this may have to be a plan now!

Bump!

Thanks! Still new to all this, loving it tho!

If I need a white/creamy sauce, I usually use a bit of soft cheese (philidelphia etc) and a bit of milk. Easy! And if you use a flavoured one like garlic and herb you get added taste.

I'm in a similar position to you - fractured spine/compound femur fracture/multiple pelvic fractures....now I have more metal in me then wolverine! My limitations are no impact, twisting not a problem tho, but here's what I do fine: Treadmill - uphill, currently a brisk 5.5kmph Stepper Cross trainer (if ur in the USA, I…

Thanks all! Im fine with weights, only thing I cant do is high impact - so no running for me! Never thought about interviewing PT's, but it makes sense!

I use the machines only as well, I want to start on free weights tho, just want to build some small amount of strength first.
