I try to plan a week in advance. I managed this last week and didn't fail, this week I forgot and its been such a challenge to stay within. I find its a bit of a game once I've logged my week, wake up on a morning, and have to eat whatever is on that list - by my last meal/snack I feel like I've succeeded at completing…

I'm thinking Beetlejuice, considering black and white vertical stripes are in every high street store right now! ... or Alex from Clockwork Orange. Really need an excuse to wear my pork pie hat! :P

My personal trainer said that working out for more than 45 minutes per day risks burning muscle instead of fat. Not sure whether I believe, or want to believe that, as I'm quite happy doing one or two hours in the gym a day.

That would be amazing! I find the bread just crumbles anyway :/

Subway chicken salad bowl - no cheese or sauce. And if I'm out with friends and really can't resist the pizza shop, I opt for a chicken doner in pitta with no sauce.

My father eats up to 4 eggs a day, and on his last medical the doctor had commented that he'd never seen somebody with such good cholesterol levels that had never been on medication to lower it so I try not to think too much about it. I scoop the yolk out, mash it up with some paprika and put it back. Sort of like devilled…

I went on a school trip, when I was about six or seven, to an aquarium where little sharks were in an open top tank with some rays. My friend and I were leaning over to touch the rays, when I was grabbed by the back of my collar. As I fell back, I noticed a large splash where I'd been standing - if this random lady hadn't…

I've never had a problem with cellulite (apart from it being on my saddlebags) despite, having really big thighs, until now. I've recently noticed it moving round to the fronts of my thighs though? I'm hoping its the muscles toning/changing shape or whatnot thats causing it to move round. I drink plenty of water (about 3…

A girl I lived with last year used to insist on using all my bathroom items:- shower gel, shampoo, facial cloth etc. I once went in after she'd showered to find my lady shave in the cubicle amidst a wig's worth of thick black hair. Considering we also lived with her boyfriend, I don't know hair she was letting grow that…

I realised I looked like a stick man in a bubble. I've worked too hard at the gym all summer to not put the nutritional effort bit in too. I can feel the muscles underneath the layer fat, I'd just love to see them too! :(

I occasionally try to use everything up in my cupboards, fridge and freezer to: a) save money b) avoid having to shop every day (temptation!) c) uses up all the rubbish in moderation, so next time you fill up the cupboards everything can be healthy! Last week I made a list of everything in my cupboards first, with calories…

Hey, I'm 22. I'm going into my third year of university in a few weeks :)

I'm glad I saw this! Can somebody clarify what a shin splint actually feels like please? I'm totally unsure whether I have shin splints or something else - I run five days a week for 30 minutes (on a treadmill?) and my shoes are specialised for running. The pain is in both legs, like a pulling pain on the inner side of my…

I'm at uni and try to stick to vodka and diet something (usually coke) or soda when I'm out :)

Hiya :) If I won the lottery I'd buy the rights to the old plan and put it out there again. I tried their new plan last year and gained a stone in a month. I can't do Slimming World either - I think my metabolism must treat fruit as though its deep fried chocolate! :S So happy to have found this page! I'm always messing…

That makes sense - my arms, chest and back are always sore after lifting, but my legs feel useless (I need more to squat, I think). So I can do my lift days, then in between swim/run, maybe? Thanks :)

They received a real bashing on Panorama the other night :( I started using Maximuscle maxi milk shakes last week after gym sessions, and two days ago switched to Maxitone Definity (bars and shakes). I can't tell, in such a short time, whether its having any impact on my performance or changing my muscle strength, but I've…

I've damaged my knee in £75+ trainers, but the gym won't authorise anyone to use cardio equipment or do classes barefoot :( I don't use my protein shakes as a means of building muscle strength. Mine are low calorie and low carb, but high protein (I always, always feel full after one) and super sickly (never crave junk food…

I've seen a huge difference since I started taking supplements, and they've just told me they don't work.

I thought it was just a niggle that might go away, but probably not if its taking so long. I'll definitely get to a physio then :-) Thanks everyone :-)

Hello! :) I'm Elisabeth! I tried Slimming World a year ago, and, although I had more energy and looked so fresh and bright, I didn't lose any weight. Truthfully, I don't think I put as much determination into it as I could have. I've been calorie counting for a month now. I'm well within my calories for today, but I've…
