To me meat is meat As long as it's raised, transported and killed humanely I will not put more value on one animal or bird over another Problem is that many of the intensive farming and haulage practices are not particularly humane - hence why I'd rather raise my meat myself or shoot wild game I'd even eat my own horse/pet…

Simply because I've added running into my morning routine in the last month and everything I seem to see online states that you should have a snack before morning exersise But I'm happy now that I can just continue with what is obviously working fine for me - sometimes you just need a little support/reassurance

horse meat is nice we eat a lot of pheasant and rabbit - plus the odd hare and venison (all wild - kill it cook it eat it ;)) I also love meatier sea food like squid and octapus - plus I like kid but you cant really get it here - thinking of raising a few though for the table

i use endomondo on my galaxy S3 for running - love looking back at my progress :) also just bought the pro version to help with interval training

the catch is chemicals but if that doesn't concern you (and I'm offering no opinion here as to if it should or not - I'm not your mother ;)) then enjoy :)

I like it as it is but for breakfast - whilst my porridge is cooking - i eat a pot with 1 banana choped up, a few blackberries, a few raspberries and 1.5tbs of micronised linseed - all mixed up - yummy!

not to that one - but plan the one local to me in 2014 doing a few 10k obstical courses before then - got my first one on 20th Oct in Edinburgh - figured I'd be better working up to a tough mudder than going straight in - esp as i'm pretty new to running

go for it - If you need to walk for a bit then so be it - just make sure you keep moving and dont stop you may find that the energy from those around you carry you forward anyway - dont underestimate the power of that/adrenaline Good Luck :D# ETA - did you get proper gait analysis for your running shoes/get a professional…

dont worry I eat plenty :D I'm on maintainence not weight loss ;o)

thanks guys Think i'll just keep going as I am as it seems to work for me :) I also have to be careful when I eat before an evening metafit and rebound classes - I can't eat within 4 hours of the class or I get stitch/feel sick - but can easily eat afterwards ;) I just tend to find I have the most energy when I am hungry -…

thanks from replies :) I do eat a big breakfast: 1/2 cup oats and 180ml semi skimmed milk made up as porridge plus 1 pot greek yoghurt, 1 banana, berries (usually blackberries and raspberries) and 1.5 table spoons of Linseed all mixed up so two bowls of food - plus green tea (and lots of water) its just that I like to eat…

what motivates me is the feeling afterward a work out - at the time I can't say i especially enjoy it - I just work through it and push myself harder so its not enjoyable - its hard work and can hurt! but afterwards I feel great :D I also find pinterest good - especially the motivational quotes - they keep me going ;) I…

I was adicted to refined sugars - to the point I'd hypo and faint - even had tests to diabetes but was luckily negative - I'm just highly reactive to it so.... cutting it out sucks - you'll feel crap - shakey, faint, weak, crave it all the time, you'll hate your 'diet' and will think of sugary things all the time Deal with…

This is what worked for me: 1. Move more 2. Drink more water 3. Eat at a calorie level thats suitable for your activity etc - and not where you will be starving yourself/slowing your metabolism 4. Cut out crap from your diet even if you can fit it into your calorie allowance - including alcohol, 'diet' anything, refined…

i dont own weights my weelky workout is as so: Monday - 4m trail run (fields and hills) Tuesday - Metafit Wednesday - 4mile trail run plus interval training (in addition to run) Thrusday - Rebound Class Friday - 4mile trail run and Metafit Saturday - rest day Sunday - Longer run - 6miles+ again trail running with hills my…

Thank you hopefully will do First time ever I'm confident to wear a bikini :D

Thank you :) they say horses don't lose any fitness in two weeks - so it's interesting that humans lose quicker - I do have someone riding her though as I have Scottish xc championships a week after I'm back so want us both on top form for that :) I wake early anyway - and husband likes a lie in whereas i get bored lol -…

Thanks The more I hear and research I'm 99% sure it measured me way too low! I'll get it done again tonight out of interest ;)

Thanks for concerns guys I am seeing my doc for my depo soon so will discuss with her and double check I'm doing ok :)

Thanks guys I actually put a similar thread in the fitness section and they said the same thing I feel full of energy and healthier than I have for years so I'm not going to worry and going to carry on as I am maintaining my healthy weight It was just a shock to get such a telling off from a pt!

none - but when you get a slating/lecture from a 'professional' you do tend to panic a bit!

we so need a 'like' button on this forum ;)

she did it to me straight after a 1hr rebound session (35mins intense cardio - 10min warming up/cooling down - 15mins abs/derrier work) I'd also just drank 1L of water at the end of the session

thanks guys - I'm going to go with you (and what was my gut instinct) and just carry on as I am I feel better than I have for years - with more energy than I have for years - so I can't see that I am unhealthy :)

thanks guys I felt awful when she had a go at me - I'm in training for a 6m assault course at the end of oct and she basically said that I was too skinny to get fitter and was talking about needing to put weight on - this is me 3 weeks ago today at a photo shoot and at the same weight I am now - I'm hardly an anorexic…

an electrical pulse machine that you hold.... she also had me input age, height and current weight when I use this one - http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/ I come out at 18.9%

thank you these are the opinions i was hoping for ;) I felt awful when I was basically slated by the PT :(

thank you - i dont know about periods as on depo (didnt make me weight gain ;)) and have not had one since starting it (9 months ago before my weight loss)

it was a PT who tested me and basically had a right old rant at me stating that it was very unhealthy and I should be at least 18%... So I was wondering other peoples opinions... and tbh after being over weight for so long - and now maintaining a good weight for 2 months - I was not liking the idea of having to put some…
