Hi, I ride many miles, generally I do a 1200Km ride every year. Unlike many colleagues I use Lidl cycling shoes. I have had different shoes and have found these cycle walking SPD shoes the most comfortable. The reason for hotfoot is usually that the shoes are too tight. This could happen with different shoes if the fit is…

Any Cardio, Studio Cycling or Spinning burns the most calories. Stay away from anything from McDonalds, KFC, Pizza places. Just a coffee from here is laden with calories. Try having Americano with skimmed milk rather than cappuccino etc. when having a coffee. Never have biscuits or cheese until you know what you're doing.…

Hey, I got a better idea - meet for drinks after the meal. :laugh:

just do what's best for you, and don't need to apologise for what you eat or don't eat.r its nobody elses business. don't give an excuse for refusing a burger, tell em once why you choose not to pig out and that should be enough. You could suggest a night out in a place that does do the food or meals that you can include…

Its about sticking to the regime, if you keep using the site accurately it should work through. I like to give a blast on the exercise interspersed with recovery and nil exercise. Last week I did three days of cycling, 200Km per day and ate everything, cooked breakfasts, family bag of jelly babies , licorice allsorts, but…

weight maintenance Yes, when i reached my weight loss target I continued logging food but there was little point as I had already trained myself to new eating regime. So, I now just put weight in and if it starts going up I can start logging again.:smile:

I think it is entirely fair not to go, they are being inconsiderate to normal eaters. We don't all want to gorge ourselves in fat. Think like this, We invite everyone to the pub, the muslims can't go due to alcohol, - if its a few friends and they want to do this then ok - could be a bit rude. However an employer should be…

Ok, you look like you are there, on the thin side... what is your BMI, and where does that lie on the scale. The photo is a bit dark so I lightened it up. and your overall body is just right, you don't need to go slimmer. You could do with getting a bit of muscle on your arms by going to a strength building class. The…

If you are doing a workout involving muscles, rather than cardio its recommended that some protein intake is made, eg meat, milk, soya

Full fat - still need to count the calories. Bananas are the No. 1 food.

I recommend a small banana, or the yogurt thing. I usually drink during the workout with a flavoured drink. Its recommended that you have a sports drink, but I just have a diluted cordial drink, e.g. orange squash.

Welcome, once you get into it its a breeze......... no more false hopes just yourself to check yourself. good luck

Hi, Believe in toast. Yes I do........... The attitude is so important and the retraining of bad to good eating. There is so much stuff in supermarkets which is just so bad and you have to literally fend it off to get to the good stuff.

My advice is that those extra calories are ok to eat or not depending on how you feel. I eat some then I don't feel so chained to a calorie controlled diet, and therefore it make s the diet easier. It enables a treat. If you stated that you wanted to lose 1lb a week you would have a limit of x, if 2lb a week it would be y.…

Hi, firstly are you counting absolutely everything, no little snacks even just mouthfuls, or sweets. ok.... What I suggest is you give your body a shock, i. e. you have a day full on exercise whilst not changing diet. So, go for a run, and go to the gym, do a gym class. Follow this by a normal day, then do it again the…

A small breakfast to get the metabolism working, then a little rest then out in the morning. You don't want to run out of energy so you need something to start you off.

Even if you go over on calories at least write it down, then you can start thinking about it. I find that if you don't include it you just eat more of it cos its not counted. When you look for the exact type of Yogurt for example its more fun and the time it takes is time you're not eating. For me this dieting is one day…

Hi, Are you counting everything, if yes then just keep on trucking....you'll get there:smooched:

Yea, just go over this time if you are still under the 2000 or 2500 that you are allowed for a day with no dieting then at least you wont put weight on, better to count everything and learn to manage better low cal foods. I would go over by 100 to 200 max. However you could consider some exercise, I just started running,…

That body sure is a challenge

I have done it twice, its easy, I estimate it burns 267 calories:happy:
