I've been making BBC good food Makhani dhal. It's brilliant! http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5081/makhani-dhal You can leave the cream out for a lighter option but even with the cream it is low cal. Omnomnom.

It's a really interesting paper. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature11432.html I think it's all about the composition of your diet rather than keeping it at a particular number everyday. Nutrition and exercise are the key. I think red wine is key too but am yet to see proof! ;)

People have mentioned hamstrings but I get lower back pain from tight glutes (according to a physio). They are often over looked when stretching and when they are tight you feel it in your back. I highly recommend working a glute stretch into warm up and warm down.

Oh I was away for 4 days so I missed my weigh in and I wasn't filling in me food diary. Not too confident on a loss this week but I'll hit the gym in the mean time and see what I can do! :)

I'm late but 149. Slow progress but progress none the less!

Me! I've played for a few years now. I did not think I would be into it when I went down to the first session but I loved it. It's the highlight of most weeks now and I'm just at the beginning of my fourth year. I've made so many friends and gotten much fitter..... although we do tend to hit the pub after our matches!

Back at 150. Back on track! Happy with this week despite having a bad day yesterday. Only time for a short walk due to other commitments. Oh well. Hopefully another good week next week.

I was late for the weigh in AND I gained. Start = 150. Current = 152. :( This week will be different!

I'm in! 150lbs now and would like to lose 10. Really having a hard time with it. I'm a student too!

Day 2 L1 (intentionally skipped one day as I had other training) Done. Struggled most with the push ups and bicycle crunches at the end. Feel good though!

Skipped day 2 (as I had planned) for rugby training. It's 90 minutes and my limbs were like lead after! Glad to see everyone is doing well. Looking forward to tomorrows session.

I'm late but just finished day 1. It was challenging but good! I've an 80s fitness instructor outfit to wear. Think cheesy Jane Fonda gear. Need to tone up a bit before going out in public in it!

Most rugby coaches will say that if you are good enough for your position you are big enough!

I've been having smoked salmon on brown bread with salad this week.

I'm on week 4 and really enjoying it. Couldn't say that I've found it easy but I've managed every run. I'd say try it. I got the android app and it's great.

Oh, can I join?! I'm back into my final year on the 7th of Sept. Only starting my weight loss! I do my weight in kgs, but i think i'm about 150 pounds.

Welcome! For your own foods go to the Food tab and the the 'my food' option and you can type in all your nutritional info there. Good luck!!:wink:
