Muscle Soreness : it is important, no VERY important to take 10 minutes to stretch before and AFTER exercise. Google some stretches or even Youtube some videos as you should never bounce, just gradually push the stretch deeper. I played American Football and found that a 'Diorlyte' (a UK brand of salt replacement for…

Keep em coming !! Also, add each other. You are MUCH more likely to succeed if you involve the community rather than striving away on your own

Bump!!!!

my pleasure x x

If you lose more than two pounds a week, although great, you are setting yourself up for a fall later on. Sustained, small losses stay off. Whereas big losses can go back on and more! Just look at the the idiots who are having meal replacement shakes? Massive initial success followed by tiny losses, disillusionment and…

interesting stuff Cheers folks

Im not into meal replacements and shakes etc, but the tablets interest me?

thanks for this. I've been wondering about protein

go for a 30 minute walk to begin with? Set out from your house and walk pretty much as fast as you can for 15 minutes then turn back and try to match your pace on the way home. Increase the time by 1 or 2 minutes each time. You need to build up. You cant dive straight in!!

rather than a rest day as such i try not to do the same exercise two days in a row? So I go for a 4 mile walk on Saturday night, I go to the gym on Sunday , swim on Monday, gym on Tuesday, swim on Wednesday and so on. If i gym two days in a row,, i find i ache more and have less energy to do my list? Hope that helps?

thanks for the replies

I used to play American Football and ached terribly for days after training & games. I then found Diarylyte. Which is packets of salts that you mix with water (or squash) to replace salts lost during an upset stomach The aching was much reduced when combined with warm-down stretches. The salts replace the salt lost when…

Just weigh yourself at the same time on the same day. For instance, i weigh myself when i wake up on Saturday morning. This will tell you how much you have lost over the week. You can weigh as much as 7 lbs difference between your lowest weight and highest weight of the day. Dont peek in the week, unless you think it will…

you need songs with a good beat? Any old pop will do? I like: M.I.A. 'Paper Planes' Bedoin Soundclash 'when the night feels my song' Carter the unstoppable sex machine 'Sheriff Fatman' Dolly Parton '9 to 5' ....now THERE's an eclectic mix!!

Does anyone else read these in the local accents or just me?? :) Staffordshire calling in....

Hi all, my name is Gideon and im on MFP to lose a bit of weight and change the way i view food. I need to get my blood pressure down and feel good in my clothes again. Check out my profile as thats got my story on already! Im happy to share tips on steady weight loss.....fire away!!

I would advise getting a friend or family member involved with you. Little competitions between yourselves add to the fun. For instance : two week weight loss challenge by % of body weight. Loser treats the winner to a night at the Cinema with the winner choosing the film? might sound a bit trivial, but it can be the…

Have you considered your portion size? I have bought some smaller dinner plates so that it looks like i have a lot to eat. Fill half the plate with your 'food' and the other half with your vegetables. Another good tip is to drink a pint of water 30 minutes before your meals and drink another pint with/after your food.…
