Eat what you like, then go for a jog. Oh and dolphin. It's flippin' lovely

Had some fancy family photos done a few years back and when they came back I looked at the ones of me and my brother. My brother looked like my brother. I looked like someone who had eaten my brother for breakfast.

Feel free to add me. I eat all the food. Anyone can add, as long as you are not weird.

I'm no expert, so my advice is optional: - Operate at a calorie deficit - Do a progressive full body strength training routine 3 times a week - compound exercises like squats, deads, bench, OHP and rows. Alternatively, body weight exercises like some on 30DS will be very beneficial - Do cardio and ab exercises if you like…

So I can feel like this, all the time

Hey! A calorie is a calorie, but a gram of fat has 9Kcals compared to a gram of protein having 3Kcals. There is therefore no such thing as "bad food" as all food (apart from alcohol) has nutritional value, but it just depends on how much you choose to eat of what. - A bit of a big mac is full of lots of the things you need…

Added. Anyone can add me. As long as they are not weird :P

Nah, just need to don an 80's sweatband!

I have it most days: 50g oats 250ml skimmed milk/semi skimmed/water Flaked almonds Cinnamon powder Raisins 2 tsp honey Microwave for 1.5mins then stir then microwave for 1 min in your breakfast bowl. Around 500Kcal, tastes amazing and sets you up for the morning. I'm never hungry before lunch and even work out on this most…

Notts - feel free to add me if you like food and exercise :)

No doubt, weekends are hard. This is about how you approach them as "time off" I suppose. Ultimately, you are in control of what you eat/drink and everything you put in your mouth is your choice. Chances are, you have already decided come 4pm on a Friday that you are going to eat badly over the weekend, so you do. If you…

I often find some decent Nike stuff in TK Maxx, but have a gander at H&M's sports stuff - its decent, honest.

Anyone can add me, as long as they like eating, like exercise and have a sense of humour ;)

Might I suggest a lifestyle change instead of a diet? Diet is what you eat every day of your life, not a finite period. If you treat it like this then even if you achieve your goals you will soon see them slipping away again. I don't disagree with initially changing what you eat to kick start your change, but I'd advise…

Yes - join a sports club - you will meet loads of mates and keep yourself fit with an organised weekly routine. There is loads of boozing, but there is also lots of dancing with it. I worked as a waiter whilst I was at uni too, so was on my feet all night with that. There are thousands of young people all there to work…

I had a massive white fish fillet phase a while back: - Defrost in micro - Stir fry onions and other veg inc garlic, add fish and then add soy, chinese vinegar (or lemon juice), honey, sweet chilli dipping sauce - Consume with your choice of carb. I like wholewheat noodles or quinoa Also try fish pie with a sweet potato…

Hi! I completed P90X in April this year and it totally changed my physique and fitness levels - increased muscle tone and lost a lot of fat (down to circa 12% now). I now incorporate a lot of the workouts into my fitness regime (I'm going to do legs and back this lunchtime!) so feel free to add me if you need support. It…

Couldn't get tickets/wife is due a baby so I couldn't go. I hate you ;)

Great idea - I'll endorse it

They are an interesting fruit - as they ripen they become higher in sugar and lower in starch (starch becomes sugar) due to a chemical they release. This chemical (can't remember the name) also speeds up the ripening of other fruit nearby, so always keep your nanas in the fridge. They are a great source of energy, released…

If you fancy some fun with it (jumping through flames and dodging obstacles!) then there is the Spartan Race in Tamworth on 21st September.... I'll be there with my top off and a red cape on, for Sparta! ;-P

Hang about! How much is 12 weeks worth of these classes worth? An the government just gives it to you? No conditions? Please give back the vouchers in protest and use MFP as a responsible monitoring tool. Only you can help you.

Oh, also, I read a report that showed consumption was very much linked to your partner: - Men tended to drink less when in a partnership with a woman, who brought their habit down - Women increased their consumption So basically, you meet in the middle if the male drinks more than the female to begin with. My wife has been…

I gave up booze for three months at the beginning of the year as part of wider fitness goals. I set myself a three month target and stuck to and it was actually fairly easy, if not a little boring for me. It really helped with fitness, sleep and weight loss. I really used to love drinking and would crave a drink after work…

What are you looking for from it? If it is energy then a complex carb is healthy energy release - porridge or bananas (I mash up a banana with an egg until mush and fry it as a pancake with cinnamon, blueberries etc - nice). If you just want a hit to let you rage through the workout, pop a couple of pro plus or neck some…

I planned a holiday, did it and then told a load of people about it. I have a holiday disorder. In the 1st world we have a major issue of availability of food - and not healthy food. It is hard to eat healthily, inconvenient and takes discipline, rather than not thinking about what goes in our mouths. People choose to do…

I'm from Wolves, but I ran away. Anyone can add me

It's not vanity to lose the extra pounds if it makes you feel bad. You can focus on how good you'll feel once you've lost them and use that as a goal. Visualise how you will look and feel and then work to get there, each meal and workout at a time. As the aboves have said, planning your meals and your shopping is key - you…
