I made a tortilla wrap filled with tuna and lots of veggies today. Leftovers are always a good option. I had lasagne last week for a few days.

If you don't have a cheaper supermarket near you, you could order online instead. Quick, easy and you don't even have to get out of your sweats!

My grandad used to eat beef fat on bread. He called it dripping because its what comes off when you're cooking it. Bleugh.

Any kind of offal, green chillis, cauliflower and any fat on meat that isn't crispy.

I think it depends on what you've agreed with your trainer. They all seem to work differently. For example, my friend is a trainer and also ex military and BB competitor. He expects to meet his clients once a week and for them to stick to the plan he gives them for the rest of the week. His ultimate aim is to get them to…

I did squats in the rack with plates on the bar for the first time. Failed on my fourth set but was determined to finish so did my set again, and I did it!

Hi Teri, I don't think I'm qualified to be a mentor but I've learnt a lot using MFP and happy to be your friend! I'm also 27, in London and called Terri!

There are plenty of better core exercises than sit ups. And lots of variety depending on what you enjoy. Compund lifts are great. Or if you prefer bodyweight stuff, try things like electors, crunches, mountain climbers and planks. The easier they get to do, the more complex you can make them.

The good, the bad and the bacon.

My Grandma used to give me "dippy" eggs and soldiers!

Prawns (shrimp) are the most "fattening" (hate that word) thing you can eat.

Psychological. I leave meals in the fridge for a week and they're fine. Never poisoned myself.

This has happened the last few times I've used the app rather than the website to build a recipe. Annoying!

I do them with my lifting coach so I'd say strength and pretty sure they burn very little, even though they hurt like a mother f****r!

I sometimes have a smoothie for breakfast if I need it to go, but other than that I wouldn't replace any meals. If I can get the same nutrients in proper food I'd rather chew it. I have got something similar to a nutribullet that I use to make soups in the winter. I always put something solid with it though, maybe some…

Nah, don't reckon so. Maybe 30-35 for me.

What?! I don't think we have those in the UK :cry:

Do it! I've just started a few weeks ago but I'm already loving it. Read lots and learn from people that know what they're doing so you don't injure yourself. I like feeling like a badass, with things like kickboxing or basically anything with a shouty instructor telling me I'm a Spartan, so it suits me perfectly. Can't…

This is the diet promoted by Freelee the banana girl right? If you look around on some forums that aren't moderated by her you'll see some of the horrible things that people have experienced doing this diet. Freelee deletes anything remotely negative from her pages so you won't get a balanced view there. Just search hair…

Getting there slowly. [/quote]

Trolls be trollin' I once knew a guy that smoked 40 a day for 50 years and didn't get lung cancer, so clearly the two are totally unrelated.

This. Why put something that can change so easily?

Actually seeded female tennis serves for the last season were pretty much on a par speed wise with men. It's the sport with the biggest overlap in performance between genders.

Vodka and soda water for me, 60 cals.

Use the scoop from a tub of protein powder. One scoop of whatever flavour protein powder you like (I use banana), a scoop of oats, a scoop of milk and one egg. Tastes yum and you can put the oats in a blender first if you want the mixture smoother. I put maple syrup on mine. Makes 2 pancakes, very filling. Usually comes in…

I have just started lifting. I was unsure about form etc so I read all the forums on here and did my research and have got a trainer once a week to get me started (she's also a competitive lifter so knows her stuff).

Sounds a little too Freelee for my liking. I'll stick with my tub of Ben and Jerry's a week thanks. EDIT: Boom! I didn't even read as far as the following Freelee stuff.

Yes definitely smaller stomach. Also well done for remembering to wear the same thing to compare.

Personally I would say no. I pushed myself further and faster on my run last night and I'm not sore this morning. I just take it as my body becoming more efficient in my workout. I'm sure when I go to my first ever lifting session on Thursday I'll be sore as hell the next day because it's new for me.
