This is wonderful news and really positive attitude without meds. Really proud of you too for investigating your hormone levels. They play such a massive part in physical appearance and mental welfare xx

Hi, is be happy to support you.

Hello. My lb is now 17wks+1 and is exclusively breastfeeding. He also likes to cluster feed at the moment between 11pm and 7am. I'm using MFP to try and eat enough at the moment and be as healthy as I can for myself and him. It's getting easier to do. My milk production definitely increases if we have a good day and also…

Yes please!!! My journey is slightly different this time round as I write nursing my firstborn who is now 17wks+1. Four or five years ago it was just me recording every eb of a very active lifestyle on here. How life ha changed since! I'd love some extra support please, including that from other breastfeeding mums and/or…

Hi Everyone, We learnt last Sunday that I am pregnant and we are due on 20th November. It's a pleasant surprise. It has been a long time since I have logged on MFP but I am going to try for the sake of my health and the health of the pregnancy. I am big at this point but hopefully monitoring my nutrition will avoid further…

Excellent, thanks again. I'm excited to actually have this to hand now - it feels like Christmas came early :smile:

Luckily I have access to a Saturday morning Olympic lifting club through crossfit but with the amount of ideas and motivations rattling around in my brain it gets thoughts jumbled. Having quality information to reference helps declutter that when I need a moment peace from work in the week and gives me a welcomed break

I'll add it to my Christmas wishlist and hopefully Santa will be on my side when he see's the effort I'm making

I do the classes but annoyingly forget how to put all of the moves together by the next class - was just looking for a default reference guide though I guess like a default list to learn from. Something like that anyway. I'll keep looking. Cheers guys. If I could go more often then I would but I'm not that organised yet,…

Hazarding a guess here that she might not realise how many calories she's burning up through all that exercise, or what difference it is making to her lifts and times in eating at such a deficit...

Hi, I'm Helen, I read your post as it caught my interest - your activity is my goal. I crossfit but had fallen off the wagon in not fueling adequately and making poor food choices. Coach recommended I look at following the zone diet and I can see the huge benefits it would bring so that is what I am working towards now.…

You look great, good on you for recognizing what you really needed and getting it sorted out x

Just wanted to say that I was looking through my profile history I'm sad to see the people who have removed me as a friend. Sorry if you were one of them and I let you down. Equally though, good on you for recognizing the quality of your 'friends' when you need quality friends to keep you going on strong!

olives, or ice cream, but not together!

Goals are great , but just be satisfied with making progress on getting closer to each one, and then make a load more goals when you achieve the other one's if that's what keeps you on track!

I would define healthy as having a balance of energy across the different aspects of my lifestyle and to feel that I am making improvements at managing that more effectively with each effort. I include food and exercise as part of this, and in managing stress and anxiety both from everyday situations as well as stress from…

sweet potato crisps! home made, delicious (imo) AND ANNOYINGLY MOREISH!

Definitely!

If you are going to use a scale use the same one in the same conditions repeatedly: weigh yourself at the same time and day weekly/monthly... wear the same clothes (or none!) same surface that the scale sits on (same room same floor) replace batteries every (12) months Or go for Non scale victories (NSV) by noticing: -…

Do the opposite of what you're doing. I used to do what you are doing now and felt the same frustrations. Time and time again finding a new exercise to enjoy, another diet, and new fad, something else temporary. What worked was doing the opposite though. I slowed down, worked out less, decided how I liked to have fun - and…

Hello, I crossfit a couple of times weekly and am working towards paleo, although perhaps you wouldn't know that from my diet at the moment lol. Other athletes that I workout with suggest following the paleo diet gradually by replacing one 'normal' meal per day, then two, then all three, and eventually snacks too as…

It turns out that I wasn't so far off the wagon - I just needed to remember to rest as well as exercise and that is bringing rewards again already. Keep going and stay focus if you are reading this! Good luck :smile:

Bump?

What's stopping you? If you just want to see what you would burn in a normal day then try it. What have you got to loose? :) Your HRM will likely ask you for your set up on first use and will use this as a baseline for future workouts. Follow the instructions. They are there for a reason - to help you get the best results…

I have a little experience doing crossfit over the last couple of months and am building my strength gradually. I found this article and thought it might interest you http://www.crossfitlondon.ca/wp/zero-to-10-handstand-pushups-hspu/ The first time I stepped in the box I was amazed at how little strength I had. Sure, I…

It turns out that there are a lot of us 'apples' about! I carry my weight mainly on my stomach too. They say that success is 80% kitchen and 20% gym so have a great time working out and an even better time working out how to fuel all that fantastic effort. Good luck and enjoy it! :flowerforyou:

First thought - I've been there - Hi :) - get rid of those treats - either eat them in moderation (planned and incorporated gradually), or bin them/give them to charity, and don't replace them. Second thought - if you want it that badly, then work out for it. Find out what the nutritional content of what you are planning…

I try to eat it in moderation, as opposed to replacing what I like or going without. Goal setting helps with this - keep your eye on the prize! I'll have a Freddo (small chocolate bar as a treat) and don't expect to ever truly go 'without'. That said, my nutrition is so much 'cleaner than it was this time last year. I…

I like the coloured sun stick ideas and will try and find some online. Some how they just don't appear in the shops over here and I have no idea why it's easier to get hold of a lower spf than higher - I guess you would have to apply a lower factor more regularly so they can sell more but that's me guessing. The cycle hat…

What are great thread - bump to reference again and again!:smile:
