'Ewwwwwww that looks disguisting' 'it tastes quite nice, want to try?' They will either try it, or say no thanks I've had quite a few converts to different foods through that. They pretty much know they will get offered the food to proove my point, so they havent commented since.

Yes, I get it all the time, its why i dont wear 'skinny' clothes to the gym, cause i know after it, i will be alittle swollen. I think its the main reason alot of fellas 'pump up' in the gym before going out on the town.

I'd rather be thin and heavy than fat and light. (Yes it is entirely possible, i'm almost 2st heavier than my best mate yet my stomach is flatter than hers)

I love yoga Cause i can scratch any part of my back when its itchy. It has improved my posture, breathing and mind. Its not really about calories burnt, but depending on what it is, you are using your body as resistance.

I cant eat back all or most my burnt calories unless i resort to junk food, which I refuse to do (its not uncommon for me to burn 1500-2100 cal in the gym in one day a few times a week, there is not a chance in hell i am going to be physically able to eat 3000 cals of healthy food). I also cannot eat the same amount of…

I love my protein (i dont eat alot of meat so its usually in powder form) It reduces my recovery time so much.

The best work outs are always when you are frustrated or angry

I bought my dad Vibrams for fathersday, so he can use them for kettlebell training he absolutely adores them. I tried them (probably shouldnt have) and they seemed dead comfy (tempted to buy myself a pair now) You just have to make sure you measure your foot properly for them to get the right size. I've never heard of the…

Everyone is loaded with muscle, its how we move in the first place. Go back to your trainers, but you could just do weights/resistance training to build up your muscle, if you dont want to venture into the weights room, go to a resistance class such as body pump. I do hours of cardio quite regularly and mix it with…

I find it harder to work out but easier to eat more healthly in the summer. its one of the times of year it doesnt feel 'wrong' sitting down to a salad or something light.

I admit, i looked too Congrats on the 2 years of fitness, its defintely a habit now, you wont stop it for the world! I'm so happy with all your achievements I bet you are over the moon.

You earned it I do exactly the same, however its to primarily look at my form (I can feel something is out then check it for reassurance or fix myself). Or sometimes its just to go 'my stomach doesnt jiggle and bounce during this, whoohoo' type of thing. But during cardio classes, its you choose between windows and…

Its true, muscle weighs more than fat my *kitten* weighs more than her *kitten* cause my *kitten* is all muscle, baybeeeeee! kidding I had to get a joke in somewhere

I would be annoyed, he is taking food to feed his dogs, not himself? Thats downright rude Make it into a puree with brussel sprouts, and the stench which will come out, he will stay away from your carrots for a while. (Used to have a dog who loved those, but we hated the aftermath)

I've been doing hours of work outs together for a few years, but more in the recent months. (possibly addicted but a few people are similar in my gym also). If you are feeling good about it, I dont see why you should stop it, just make sure you are eating properly. But one thing i've always remembered a trainer said, if…

I love them but I havent done them without being in a kettlebell class I find it hard to put out my own routine, i like classes but they stopped doing them :(

There are a few guys in most of the classes i go too (except zumba but sometimes they pop up there!) Think some of them might do it to try and catch eyes, some do it for atmosphere, or some do it because they need someone to tell them what to do. But I have noticed, its usually the same ones come to the classes all the…

I love it, been doing body pump for years, steadily increasing my weights during it

Heaven forbid you are actually taking care of yourself now! So they were rather you were eating unhealthly so that they feel better about their diet? Dont let them sabotage you, use the energy to work out harder, you will reap the benefits and feel better for it.

Congrats. I am so excited for you!

I am well aware MY accent is the same as the Dumfries accent, cause guess where i am from? (it isnt Dumfries) Calvin Harris is my future to be husband, cause he is famous and will understand me, as he is from Dumfries ;) It also differentiates between place. Guiness is a dessert in a glass. Menus are by and large in…

Its like other places, you get local and non local produce You know you can get a 'fry' that isnt fried, its simply grilled, but its still the same name Not alot of things are deepfried unless you go to a chippie (although some places will deep fry a marsbar) However meat and potatoes are pretty much a staple. The only…

My own readings, being a 5ft 3 143lb female, will be in the higher ranges if you are taller/heavier. Body pump - 250-400 cals for that hour (i burn higher if i've done cardio prior to it) but it depends on your weights Body Flow/Balance - 300 cals putting it intense Zumba - 500-600 cals for hour if you put in effort Turbo…

5ft 3 I am not short, I am undertall

People never believed my old weight, people dont believe my new weight. They always assumed a stone to a stone and a half lighter. My friend is a size 8 (uk) and i'm a 10 (uk) yet there is around 28lb between us (she about 2 inches shorter) But i've put that down to me being a gym freak and her not being one.

Sorry cant help but i'm laughing you out ran your treadmill lol!

Really good Coffee is worth it, then again this is unadulterated filter coffee with freshly ground beans lattes and flavoured coffees are once in a blue moon occurances

Is muscle building and toning up not just the same thing as you will be wanting to strip fat in the first place to show it off? Well until you get to a really low body fat percent. You wont get mass muscle, you will increase your lean muscle since you are a woman, our bodies are a bit sexist like that. Unless you plan on…

I second the it works when you do it ! however you wont think you are working out doing it !
