My goal is set to 1430 a day, feel free to add me. I make a lot from scratch (although I've been slacking at this the last week or 2) so feel free to ask for recipes. For example my bolognese is made from scratch with very little fat or preservatives and is really tasty even if I do say so myself lol x

I'm not sure about on the actual website but if you have the phone app your foods you use are stored in lists; frequent, recent, recipes etc and there's a "multi add" button where you select several of your foods at once. It will take a week or 2 to build your own database up but once its there the app is incredibly…

The incredible shrinking woman! You look amazing, well done xx

I hated every minute of it including the instructors awful choice in music and an hour of fast repetitive squats made my thigh muscles go into spasm resulting in days of agony followed by needing muscle relaxants prescribed from the doctor (well you did ask :blushing: ) x

I loved reading these tips from everyone. Mine is to try out EVERYTHING, every exercise and class you can get to. Not only does that stop your fitness routine from becoming boring but you might just surprise yourself and find one you love. For me I learned that I HATE kettlebells (never again) but I LOVE running, boxing…

That's so great to read, I'm also going to stop using can I or even I can't (followed by some pathetic excuse) and start with I CAN :happy:

Yep what she said. I'm 5'3 and the only one I have any slight difficulty with is the one where you pull the bar down to chest height (sorry no good at names of machines) where I have to stand up to pull it down to working height for me then I just use it as normal. Even a few taller guys need to stand to pull the bar down…

My little cousin 3yrs old at the time had his face painted as a dinosaur, 3 days (yes days!) Later he finally let his mum wash it off, ha came running up to me and in the saddest little voice I've ever heard said "im not a dinosaur anymore, I can't eat bugs now" Ummm bugs? Eeewww! None of us caught him doing THAT!

Interval training burns loads of calories. I do a circuit set at the gym where I work on each machine (treadmill, row, elliptical etc) unroll I've burnt 100 calories per machine then do some more if I have energy left that easily does 500 per workout for me.

Hahahahahaha I've actually had this said to me twice!

"Can I borrow your hair straighteners and some concealer I have a blemish." A direct quote from my ex immediately after spending 2 hours choosing an outfit for the pub.

I go ridiculously red when I workout, I do sweat a bit but it takes a LOT of effort and a very warm room. I see others who are pouring with sweat and stay perfectly pale, not sure which I'd prefer but let's face it if you don't look a mess in some way then you aren't working hard enough lol

This is exactly it, as I'm sitting here after a workout wrapped up with the heating on full blast. I've also had some nice hot food to refuel and will be having a warm bath to soothe my tired muscles. To the OP please please start tracking your calories and making sure you get plenty of healthy fuel for your body. You…

Now that's a rant I can respect. Also good for you making the effort to be healthy. I work in healthcare and frequently have to record peoples BMI as a measure of "health" I see a lot of "obese" people like myself who are actually very fit and healthy being judged as being lazy or unfit while those at a "healthy" weight…

CHEESE! literally could make myself sick eating it, and my appetite for all things savory goes through the roof. rarely get chocolate cravings but on the odd occasion i have there doesn't seem like there's enough chocolate in the world lol

Those pictures are awesome. I'm doing a 5k soon then a demon run which is very much like the dirty dash but in the welsh valleys. Race for life and hopefully a 10k in September.

Bump for later as I can't read the article on my phone

Once the implant is removed you should go straight back into a normal cycle, it may take one or two periods for your body to get back into its natural cycle but that won't affect your fertility in the future.

I think its just polite to add in a message when you add someone, I'm not a friend collector and like it when people make an effort to interact, that's why I log onto the forum after all :)

My reward for losing my first stone was to get the 2nd holes in my ears re-pierced which is great because I can wear lots of sparkly earrings now to remind me when I look in the mirror. Not sure what my next reward will be, sexy dress maybe?

This might sound really obvious but drink lots and lots of water and maybe check you are actually getting enough food to meet your need for nutrients by eating lots of healthy fruit and veg.

Inspirational words for a new runner like me, thankyou :happy:

I'm definitely doing this one this year. See you there :)

she looks cowing awesome!! clearly the result of hard work!

Um do a squat between each item you wash?

Wow you look amazing. My fat wrists have always bothered me, even at my smallest they've always been out of proportion to my body so I'm really hoping they shrink with the rest of me now.

I have the same problem on the cross trainer, its because you're putting continuous pressure on the same spot of your feet so toes etc go dead like when you cross your legs for too long. I tend to do 10-15minutes then go to another machine then go back to the cross trainer to do another 10-15 which is basically as long as…

I'm glad I read this, I work 12.5hr shifts the majority of which are on my feet, I knew I was retaining water (swollen feet much lol!) but a little voice in the back of my mind was shouting "excuses excuses" for my whopping gain of 2lbs over 2 days. I'm going to wait until I've had at least 2 days off for my body to get…
