It is the second time I am doing it and I love it, I have already lost a couple of kilos since I started it three weeks ago. It is working for me but I understand that it doesn't work for a lot of people. Basically, you choose two non-consecutive days to have 500 calories, while the other 5 you will eat your TDEE (I eat my…

I would like to join as well!

The watermelon I brought for lunch... :D (I'm following the 5:2 and today's fast day.. :) )

This. Sometimes I have one frozen waffle with honey and PB... I try it eat it at least one hour before running. You need to try and see what works for you... I've tried everything from protein shakes (horrible), yogurt (not good), to proper meals and for me, my happy place starts with my waffle.

Maybe sign for a 5km race? Just focus on finishing it, at your own pace (mix of running - walking), the fact that you'll be among others will keep you motivated and it is an exciting way to exercise. I also support the advice that 6 days is too much.. I used to train 6 days, just running, I'm in my late 20s and I noticed…

- red capsicum because it's a bit sweeter than the green cousin - broccoli! I would eat it every single day! But not raw.. - Jicama is an old time favorite. I love it with lime, salt and chili powder - Avocado!!

Make time! If you feel like you have no time to work out, wake up early and work out before work. Or divide the workouts, or work out before going to bed.. or during lunch.. etc. If you feel like you have no time for cooking and you end up eating fast food: either make better choices or cook on the weekend for the whole…

Usually when I've been eating too much junk food and alcohol, I realize that my body needs fiber... So I just add some fiber to my diet (I love chia seeds on my yogurt!) and my body does the same.. I tried once the master cleanse and my body hated me and I hated the world. Once I did a juice detox... Nothing much there...…

Usually 1 serving of greek yogurt with a bit of muesli, chia seeds and lin seeds. And I eat a low fat frozen waffle with some peanut butter and strawberries on top. I also have an iced soy latte after my work out :)

I go before work so I get ready at the gym: - Bathroom bag with: shampoo, conditioner, razor, hair cream, lotion, perfum. - Make up bag with face creams and all - Shower shoes (flip flops) - Clothes for the office (including underwear) - workout gloves - hair band - water bottle - Polar HRM - My day bag which includes…

I fit my protein smoothie into my calories for the day, regardless if I did strength or not.. My trainer told me to up my protein intake every day so I do that with the smoothie. The only difference is that during strength days I add soy milk and oats on the smoothie, while on rest/cardio day I do it only with grapefruit…

Allo! I follow the same strategies!! I am in Singapore, and before that I was i nSwitzerland, when I started using MFP. And I think I had a harder time in CH for this than in here... The food that I buy in the supermarkets I can scan the code and it appears in here (I don't buy "american" food too often, but I must admit…

Obesity Index: 23bmi Below average You have a lower BMI than 70% of females aged 15-29 in your country (Mexico)** Global Above average You have a higher BMI than 61% of females aged 15-29 in the world Did you know? If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 7,012,630 tonnes from the total weight of…

THIS. If you were eating at deficit you'd be losing weight. The "starvation mode" only happens when you get to a really low point and it's all about surviving with the little of what you have. It doesn't happen when you are still overweight. Sorry, but that's not true. Count your calories. Weight your food. Every single of…

Oh yes, totally a fan! I'll try to have two or three (and sometimes 5!!) glasses once a week... I plan a weeknight out and we try different types... I'm more a white fan, but I found that sometimes I'm the only one... I can do red, and I'm pretty good at drinking going to sleep and not appearing hangover the next day…

Circuit training with my trainer... And around 30 min walking from and to work...

Wake up early, go to the gym at 6am before doing all your things.. All I read is wa wa wa I need to lose weight but it has to be fast, and it has to be easy as I have no time whatsoever... Make time. Wake up at 5am and go for a run at 6, if you are like me, you can be back to your place and get ready for work at the same…

Water gain? When you try new exercises and your muscles retain some water as they recover.. I'm not expert, but some people have told me that I'd expect some gain after a strong, muscle focused, workout that I've never done before.. Maybe it's that? And maybe someone who really knows more about it could explain it.. I…

That sounds incredibly boring, and I'm pretty damn sure that you won't be able to eat the same things every single day for the rest of your life.. And you are missing the wonders of Asian food, REAL Latin food, the yumminess of French cuisine and the awesome curries from Moroccan food... I do believe that eating chicken…

I don't think that your is accurate.. I'm your same height, I have the same BF (according to gym test) and you weight my goal weight that will put me around 16%! So if I were you, I'd check again! :)

In higschool, a friend told me that he heard the teacher talking about it. I said that she must be wrong and I bet 20 pesos that it wasn't true...

Sounds perfect.. Thank you!

I don't remember as much as I used to, but in my family there is this quite unusual experience. I was playing outside with my sister, maybe we were around 10. We were visiting some neighbors and my mom was inside with all the grown ups. I was outside with my sister, two more toddlers, the toddlers nannies and our dog who…

Ehm hi... I'm Andrea and I used to believe about fast / slow metabolisms. That was my main excuse why my sister was skinnier (ok, she still is) than me. We have different bodie types but she used to eat a LOT and being skinnier than me. So I'd cry around saying how unfair it was and why I'd not have my mom's genes just…

I love making a huge scramble thingy with four egg whites (I don't like the yolk vrey much unless it's on huevos rancheros!), a red pepper, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, a bit of salsa taquera (or shirasha), onion and garlic.. So good.. I try to eat this for dinner two or three times a week (Low cal too so it's perfect for…

Sometimes I have those too... I try to drink extra water and maybe a couple of smoked almonds. Sometimes it helps a lot!

I'd recommend you to go to the 5:2 groups as this is not a very loved subject in the forums.. But other than that, I still don't need to worry about age related diseases, but I must admit that my skin looks better now than before! Not a single spot, not even ToM related! I even use less makeup than before for this very…

The second one is my best bet. I just leave my diet out of everyone's business... I made the mistake once that I did a juice detox and a friend t hinks that I do that every single day and that's why I'm losing weight. Oh well.. People do crazy things to impress other people, and every body is different. She might be losing…
