I have 2 speedo endurance swimming Costumes and one is well over 3 years old and showing no signs of wear despite several swims a week. Do you really need the bra if you are just in to do lengths? It's not an issue I have but have you tried without support? As for hair condition first, wear a cap and wash afterwards with…

Welcome :) how active are you? Do you want home workouts? Or can you go to classes or the gym? And how's your diet? It took me a long time to prioritise me after each of my children, it's a mental state as we'll as a physical one.

I'm the the UK

I'm going on Sunday..they have refused the last few days because my iron was too low (they require 14) but I have been taking supplements so we will see.

The question remains however, if you are using MFP as intended and eating back exercise calories how many do you eat back after a lifting session? I go with the MFP guesstimate which is far lower than my HRM. Once I hit my goal weight and am fit enough to be training regularly I am going to go with the calorie guidelines…

Alcohol, even 1/2 a glass of wine has always made me feel really ill, so am totally teetotal and have always been, At uni I was always the one who made sure that they got everyone else home

I looked up about body fat % when breastfeeding.. Most research seems to concentrate on weight rather than fat loss per se.. http://www.livestrong.com/article/512606-breastfeeding-body-fat-percentage/ http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=119734041&page=1

20-22% that is what i am aiming for myself

My guess would be no..but will do some research..

That's so exactly it isn't it..so important to find out what and why something is wrong and how to fix it..and sadly not all Drs and Physios are as good as they should be.. I have a ton of energy..might have to do a fast 20 mins on the treadmill tonight :( dull dull dull

According to a friend of mine..it's not what you eat between Christmas and new year that counts but what you eat between New Year and Christmas.. For me I am not in control of what I eat when I am away from home, but I am in control of how much of it I eat and whether I can fit in some exercise too..

You need the rest otherwise your joints give in and you throw the DVD out of the window..

vegetarian proteins include | beans and lentils Beansprouts Whole grains Seeds Nuts Houmous

Thank you, thats ythe thing barbells are part of the vast majority of full body workouts..Am thinking I am going to have to develop some fusion of dumbbells and bodyweight but I don't really have the knowledge to do it

I have endo too and for me the biggest factor is wheat the secondary is sugar. I would not be changing the diet of your daughter pre puberty. If the endo is genetic it's too late to change her genes but you and she can work out what helps and hinders if she develops problems. I have a DD too and really really hope she…

I am up in NE Scotland..log on most days and can be encouraging :)

yes, always..really helps with portion control

i really try not too, but fat free yoghurt or nuts usually

Mine were all started on real finger foods at around 6 months.. Google baby led weaning if you are interested.. None were particularly interested in food until a year or so but are healthy specimens nonetheless. Some great stuff from LLL http://www.llli.org/faq/solids.html

Yeah I kow HRM are not great for calorie counting when doing weights..but I need a ballpark figure as I know I ned to eat more on lifting days..

I think you get to a place,decide if you like it or not and move up and down accordingly. BMI is a good start. I am 5'6 and targeted 62 kg, but at 63 still feel quite flabby, so am now trying for 60... I think I could go down to 54 without going into the underweight section..but that feels far too light.. And I Want my…

My goal weight was 62 kg, but I think I am dropping that to 60 now.. And I want that weight to be muscle!

I did a strength training session this morning, with about 5 mins cardio either end for warm up cool down...342 calories according to my HRM :) I find HIIT very hard can do such short periods..30 secs or so..

Thanks all, have started the New Rules programme, though currently battling trying too hard and injuring myself..but thanks..seems I am on the right tracks..off to tread that article now

Have been away for 10 days..was logging before that and again now :) Goal weight is 62 kg and I am 5'6

Have been away for 10 days..was logging before that and again now :)

Thank you, so I just keep at it! Does dietary fat make a difference?

No, any day you don't lift you eat the lower, 1850 amount.

I was an A cup until 3 babies and BF, now with weight loss we are heading back that way :( got to look out the padding for my Christmas party dress..however at least they don't cause me problems when working out. Interestingly my Mum was very flat until she hit the menopause and now..big boobies..without massive weight…
