personally i would trust your HRM, like u say its the only 1 that actually marks how hard u worked (with the wind, hills etc) so even though it seems a lot higher than mfp, mfp will only be calculating it on a flat surface im guessing :) x

theres no milk or anything in that tho sooo how wud it be like ice cream?

take my advice.... go prepared! theres nothing healthy at the cinema snack place so maybe take little bags of chopped fruit that u can get from supermarkets or a bag of healthy popcorn like the stuff you get from 'pret a manger' if you know that place? x

i've tried a couple of different 1s... i make sure i get them from health food places like Holland & Barrett (in u.k) so that makes me trust them abit more, especially if u go for the 1s with more natural ingrediants. The best 1s i've tried have been the 'Super Green Tea Diet' (which has alot of other things in like…

bump! any suggestions for alternate biscuit mixes tho cos dont think we have tht 1 in u.k?! x

bump :)

wish they had these in the u.k it sounds like exactly my type of taste and 50-cals each!! :o woow... x

I had a weight watchers soup for dinner today and if u have it on its own without bread then the whole tin was 90cals! soup would be my advice on low cal, v filling food xx

I can relate to this... i got all my fave winter/autumn clothes out from last year and they arent even close to fitting me well now cos there much too loose! i much prefer loosing all those inches to the number on the scales :) well done u! x

I've found that Omlettes are reeeally tasty and v low calorie for any time of the day, especially if you were interested in trying just the egg whites... i don't even notice the difference and its even more low cal! If you fill it with lots of diff veggies then its really filling too :) In the evening I love to just have…

thankyou so much I really needed to hear this. :smile: I just get so down on myself when I feel quite bloated 'cos I hate that feeling and I need to stop giving into my cravings... but I'm a university student?! its so hard not to when every1 else around u are lol :heart: Emma

im in york too! :)

hehe thanks, I've just heard that the bulk of your carbs for the day should be in Breakfast and Lunch? but I'm glad you all think it's not that bad :wink: :heart: Emma

oh right haha thanks :smile: yeah i was more just wondering what you think about having a high amount of carbs in the evening, before exercise (meal came out at 68g carbs) :heart: Emma

? do u think that portion is way too much or sumthing?

right this has made me feel abit weird lol... alot of people who're 5'3'' and around 144-148lbs are saying they're size 8-10 but i'm about size 10-12 on top and 12-14 on bottom and i've been like that for the last year and don't seem to be going down from a 12-14 on bottom and now that i know other people are different i'm…

depending on what mood i'm in these are my 3 favourite breakfasts: * 1 (or 2 if im particularly hungry) slice of wholemeal bread with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter = 250 cals for 1 slice, 350 cals for 2 * 2 poached eggs on 1 slice of wholemeal bread with a very thin layer of lurpack light butter ((2/3 teaspoon perhaps)) =…

hahaaa i no EXACTLY what u mean, this always happens to me! not a very sexy look is it haha - rewarding afterwards tho :wink: :heart: Emma

i logged it as circuit training - general under cardio too and im 150lbs n its about 220 calories a workout for me :) hope this helps :heart: Emma

thankyou for your help... unfortunately it ended up being 640calories for the whole meal! 100 carbs and 11 fat... i had no idea it'd be that bad i wish i'd looked before i had it :cry:

oh and about 40g mature white cheese :heart:

1 tin of tuna 1 tin of green giant sweetcorn 125g penne pasta 3/4 pint semi-skimmed milk what do u think? :heart:

ooh thats strange cos i did it on youtube using this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji22Z7gglHA&feature=related so its strange that u werent able to :noway: once u've tried your DVD could u let me know if u think its worth buying rather than using the youtube videos? cos i'm not sure whether i should or not :heart:…

yeah the only weights i had around the house were 6lb weights for my 1st day on the shred yesterday and im paying the price today! so i'd definately suggest 3lb for at least the first 5 days depending on how much ur strength builds up... i'm loving it tho :love: hope i see some change in the inches soon! :heart: Emma

well i did my 1st day on level 1 yesterday and boy am i achiing this morning! and seriously, after the workout i couldn't believe how much i was sweating! i no thats grose but woaah i was suprised - i felt great after it tho, and i loved the way jillian keeps u motivated and is always talking to u which was great cos there…

hi everyone - i've just been reading every1s comments on this 30 day shred and had a look on amazon & youtube to see what all the fuss is about and it looks amazing! Even better that you can get the videos for free on youtube! Although its only £7 on amazon so might get it if i like it :wink: this might be a daft question…

Hahaaa well bearing in mind i have an unexplainable bruise on my leg i must've fallen over abit too! :bigsmile:

yeah i'll be honest i haven't invested in a measuring tape yet, think i will cos your probably all right. I haven't been able to exercise in the last 5 days because my gym membership ran out and if im 100% honest i've been lazy... and now i've got the news that i'm having surgury on my foot so thats probably wats caused my…

to be honest, thats good advice :wink: i can be really hard on myself lately... i just cant help wishing i was slimmer tho but i no i should just concentrate on living life - but i know id be much more inclined to do so if i was more confident in my looks. doesn't help seeing all the size 8/10 girls out there lol anyway…

yeahhh iv had about 8 glasses so far... any other tips? Like on foods that are good for detoxing? I had lots of fun thanks :) suffering abit now tho! x
