Ive found personally that my cravings will go away if I avoid all the stuff that I crave... but it does take me 6 months of avoidance before the cravings go away.... it only take one second of weakness to bring the craving back... For example, I have a colleague who brings in doughnuts and always offers around... Ive…

Welcome, Biking is so much more comfortable without the fat.. I can wait till you see that for yourself.... I still remember that first time I went over a speed bump and didnt get the 'Homer Belly' scenario *boing boing boing... never ending* ... it felt like something magical :) Good luck on your journey, Im sure you'll…

I will be starting Insanity again from the 1st January 2015... Last time I got to Month 2, week 2.. but work got a bit overloaded and I fell at the last hurdle... Am hoping to complete it this time :) 1st January: Estimated Start 4th March: Estimated finish Shame there is no one in my area that can keep me motivated tho...…

Thanks guys, youve been a great help :) Will be strapping up, Making sure my trainers are 'fit for purpose', padding the floor, and modifying when needed.... If this still fails, then as jeremy said, I'll drop the 60 days and do the odd video each week :) All your comments are much apreciated :)

Many Thanks for the advice... I have some of those puzzle mats lying around.. Ill give that a try :)

I didnt go to see the doc (Maybe I should have in hindsight). I believe it was the Power Jacks that caused the issue (They say to land softly on the exercise, when I get tired my body doesnt know the meaning of softly lol) I dont really want to miss them out of the exercise as I actually enjoy doing them, but if I cant…

Anywhere you get it would change with the weghtloss. My recommendantion would be to wait till your closer to your goal (then not only will it affect the tat less, but it could also be the treat to congratulate yourself :) ) Good luck with your journey xxx

I completed Day 1 of Month 2 yesterday (still have todays workout to do) My god, what a difference between months.... I wasnt too uncoordinated on Month 1 but by the time by brain, legs and arms get the gist of the exercise im supposed to be doing... They change the set lol Im sure ill catch on as I start to repeat discs…

When you log one of your meals (in your diary as youve eaten it) any of your friends can click on your dairy and copy your meal into their own diary for the day (they can then add it to their own saved meals) Hope this helps :)

I use Runtastic It has LOADS of activities it logs from Running, Areobics, Biking, Inline Skating Plus it uploads to MFP automatically so I dont have to :) And If your phone has Smart Bluetooth It will also connect with a HRM xxx

I have just bought the Mio Alph (only got it in the post 4 days ago :) ) So far it seems to be as accurate as my Runtastic chest strap was (In fact, my chest strap lost my heart beat when I was doing areobics which the Mio has not done yet... Im going to be testing it swimming this morning :)

My Month 1, Day 1 consisted of: Pulling my calf muscles in the WARM UP :embarassed: then continuing through the Fit Test and finding the following day that my calfs REFUSED to move and my Inner Thighs (right in the hip joints) were VERY unhappy with me.... :cry: ... Now is probably a good time to mention that I ride a…

I am just finishing the Recovery Week (Start Month 2 on Monday) If you are starting out I would give a coulpe of peices of advice: 1) with all the jumping Month 1 does, make sure you land gently on your knees (I thought I was, but obviously not.. Am in quite a bit of pain in my knees at the moment.. Hoping it will clear up…

Hiya, I dont recognise the term '3rd shifter'? but im assuming its the night shift when you work 8 hours at a time (please correct me if im wrong) I am a shift worker, I work 12 hour shifts (days and nights) on a 4 day rotating shift pattern (4 days, 4 off, 4 nights, 4 off etc) I feel for you with the whole 'eat whatever…

I couldnt walk for the first 4 days, but someone on facebook suggested I buy some Magnesium Oil.. It has worked wonders :) Im now on Week 3 of Month 1. I have bought some magnesium oil spray to absorb directly in to the problem areas (Calfs mainly) and Magnesium Flakes from Holland and Barrett to add to the bath and soak…

When these guys say your diary is not open, they mean its not set up for public viewing... Most posters can help you more effectively if they can view what you have logged... Thats how they helped me to begin on my journey xxx Hope this helps xxx

I love reading these responses... Im on week 4 of Month one.... Kinda really looking forward to Month 2.. But dreading it at the same time lol Im not sure if sweating more is actually a sign of being fitter than before or just a sign of dehydrating more (can never work that out) Good luck to you all with completing the…

Are you sure your metabolism is slowing down? Have you changed your diet lately? added more Protein, reduced Fibre for example? Changing the substance that you eat has effects on 'movement'

I never had anything hurtful said to me whilst I was overweight But I had loads of friends, family AND work colleagues all start having a go at me to stop losing just as I was starting to feel better about myself. :cry: "Dont lose anymore you look sick" :mad: "Im worried that your becoming anerexic" :explode: That was…

I am very much worse off, financially speaking :sad: I was someone who didnt eat any food that wasnt processed, tinned, or toast I upped my diet with fresh fruit and veg at the begining of my weightloss £££ :cry: Then in the last three weeks I have been working on weight training and Insanity workouts.. Upping my protein…

In for the responses... I too have only just started lifting :)

I own a guitar (Well, Two actually) :embarassed: .. Does that count? Cant play them to save my life :sad:

Atari did it too... I remember a friend had it (I never owned an atari :-( )

Welcome to you both :happy: Hope you find MFP as useful as I have.... Ive been using it for almost a year now and have lost 42lbs.. only 12lbs to go :flowerforyou:

Oh, Yeah!!!! :glasses:

When I first started MFP told me 1200 also... I wouldnt recommend it. A am currently: 5"5' 148lbs and eating approximately 1500 cals per day. The larger you are the more cals your body requires to run.. so you will need to work out how many cals are best for you. For the first few weeks, im afraid its a little bit of trial…

I love to ride too... But my bike doesnt have pedals... it has a 600cc engine ;)

Definitely do it..... It helps keep you motivated xxx

Sure, But warning, I delete friends that dont log in for more than a month ;)
