gentle yoga will quite often be peaceful, with some meditation at the start or finish of the class and you will be expected to hold the positions for a few breaths, then move into the next one - it tends to be a favorite of the more mature or the inflexible. Hot yoga does take place in a heated room - somewhere between…

Nuts or fresh fruit! I like to chop-up my apples & pears at home and take them in a zippy bag to snack on when I'm peckish! Or popcorn?

Hey I use the recipe tool all the time - I put in everything I used to make the meal then set number of portions to 2 or 4 or 6 depending on how many batches I made, as to sharing recipes I don't know, sorry.

Thanks for the boost guys! I have had a very focused week so far as I have been working from home so there have been no biscuits or coffee breaks with friends to tempt me! Thanks for the support, I hope you are all having an equally good week X

I hope you feel better soon - drink lots of hot drinks! x

Hey gang, thanks for the messages, it's so nice to meet so many new people willing to help and who understand - I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hey! I am also back after gaining back everything I lost :( I have 15-20kg to lose, I am setting 5kg mini-targets, I would love to have a friend to keep an eye on each other? Add me if you think we can help each other Kate

How about fruit squash? Or a fruit tea gone cold?

Now that you have lost 25lbs you may need to adjust your calorie intake. Try re-calculating your BRM or your MFP settings! Shake things up in your exercise routine too...keeps things interesting too! Well done so far though and keep up the hard work!

Never take it off! You look fantastic and you sounds so HAPPY! x

Hey there! I was in a similar position to you...then I discovered BodyPump, it's a group exercise class that's run at my local gym and it's great fun, motivating music and dynamic! It uses a barbell and you adjust the weights for each different part of your body...within a month I have lost 1.5cm on my arms and 2cm on my…

Hey! I think that you need more fruit and veg otherwise your nutrient and mineral intake will be too low, unless you are are taking a multivitamin supplement?

Wow! That's really impressive, and I admire your attitude! Well done, and I hope you are happier now :)

Hey Jasper, thanks for the add :) I'm quite similar to you as I also stopped for a few months recently before picking it back up again (when things got extreme)! I'm looking forward to when this gets easier too! Like you, I'm a student, so social smoking is/was my biggest downfall. I liked to smoke with a drink in my hand,…

Hey! So I am studying for my PhD in the evolution of human nutrition and so I read a lot about the Paleo diet and "early human diets". These types of diets help people lose weight effectively as they are low-carb/and or low-GI. These diets work especially well for men, and their metabolism is different to that of women.…

Hey I quit smoking last Weds (last smoke on Tues) so I have made it 1-week smoke free. I hadn't been too tempted to smoke...until yesterday. I woke up and really wanted a cig in the garden with my coffee before having to leave for work. Then I fancied a smoke when I got off the train in London. Then I wanted a smoke…

If you are in the UK (or not...I guess it works) you could look on BBC good food website and serach for vegetarian or any other health requirement! I personally love a cook book by Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall (yes, he is POSH!) call "veg everyday" it's great and healthy and I find it has something for every occassion. Also…

How about trying some homemade soups? I heat them in the morning then put them in a thermos-flask to keep warm and drink them when I'm peckish between meal, btu if you wanted to bulk them up you could add some tofu, Quorn or chicken or fish (I'm vegi) Personal favourites are: Fennel and Celeriac Soup Spiced Indian Tomato…

Thank-you all for the advice, I am going to listen to what my body tells me and stock-up on nutrient rich foods! It's nice to have your support x

Yeah I agree with this ^ you're body requires a certain amount of food to function, and then extra for whatever else you burn and if you dont eat enough, your body enters a metabolis "stasis" mode. This is a bit like starvation mode, but think more like hibernation. Your body will slow down to preserve what you intake for…

In a G-cup and I normally buy from boobydoo.com shock absorber have a new "jogging" bra released which I bought in ff as it is roomy! It's got both encapsulation and compressing meaning that you get 2diff types of support! I would recommend it! Also comes in a few diff colours and....importantly...it's easy to do up and…
