I've been reading the primal diet, sounds quite severe but the idea seems quite sensible really. Will read some more and see if I can follow it for the 21 day challenge

I'll check out mikes apple and also look to experiment with different forms of pasta and see if there's any other alternatives in my local shop. I've never tried quinoa but will get some this weekend. For years i've suffered with bloating and stomach cramps but just assumed that it was due to over eating but after a week…

I normally just eat as quick as possible to finish the pack, could do with exercising this technique too

Hi, really late update from last week - sorry , 8.7 miles on 25th and 3.8 miles on 26th, (I'm gutted 1 mile off meeting target - i think!)

What exercises do you do for your weight training, do you use free weights or machines? I've been looking for info online but there is so much to look at! Any help would be appreciated
-
I've been running for years but have never done any weights but started at the gym this week as my hubby insisted that I needed to 'lift' to help my running and weight loss. I just use the machines as not sure what I should be doing.
-
I'd like to join in, I have an annual target of 1000 miles so this will be a great motivator. Re mileage do you only count full miles? 1/1/13 - 5 miles 2/1/13 - 3 miles Happy to accept friends, happy running everyone

Yes another one starting over in 2013, I've been saying it for the last 5 years and I'm still trying and not giving up on being slimmer and healthier. All my previous attempts have been focusing on diet and they've all failed, this time I'm going to focus on training and fuelling my body with less high sugar rubbish. I…

Mfp did say I should eat 1200 cals when I joined, for me daily that was too low and found it hard. I didn't lose weight well and ended up just using mfp as a food diary. I usually eat mainly healthy food, but since starting the alternate diet I end up eating more rubbish just because Its allowed. Confused!
-
I've been trying to lose weight cutting my daily cals since I started on mfp in oct 2010 and i only lost 4lbs!!! 2 months on the alternate fasting and I've lost 7 I'm about 1inch off my waist to getting into my pre baby jeans (8 years and 4 stone later) and I'd love to do it for Xmas
-
I'm sticking to 600 cals on down days and approx 2000 on up days
-
Well done, you've done amazingly well, good luck with your next challenge
-
@clairerose, I've read the add book and I try to eat 500 cals but it's mostly about 600 cals on down days. That is hard enough
-
Hi, I'm fairly new to the Alternate day diet. I'm on my 3rd down day and finding it quite easy so far. Amazingly not feeling too hungry and not pigging out on the up days either. I started as a friend has lost about 20lbs and I've been losing a few pounds then gaining them back for about 18 months now. When do you normally…
-
Well I did it once on the day I recd it but then spent a few nights out in a row so have started at day 1 again today. So far I like it more than 30DS, i'm not as fit as when I started the 30DS but if i get the results i got with that then I'll be very pleased. I might need to buy more weights though as I only have 6lb…
