Ignore them, my experience of people who rain on others' parades is that they are either jealous, in denial about their own situations, or both!

WOW!!! That's amazing, congratulations and thank you for sharing :-)

I use Nike+ GPS, I have done for years - love it!

I've got some chicken, some cherry tomatoes, some corriander and a green pepper in the fridge. I'm gong to cobble them together into a chicken curry!

Wow - that's incredible!

Eggs, eggs, eggs. I scramble a couple in the microwave when i get to work, or have a boiled egg in the fridge just in case i get hungry during the day :-)

wow!!! That's fantastic :-)

I'm in the UK too - feel free to add me!

That's fantastic! great work!!

Hi April, Welcome and good luck. You can add me if you like, I'm online most days :-)

Yup! more so than normal.....

HI buddy, goood look and enjoy the journey!

Can't get enough of it - Sliced thinly and grilled : yum!

Drink a large glass of water before you eat. You'll feel fuller quicker and be less likely to overeat

HI there, I'll challenge you on Nike+, I love the app! What's your user name? mine's the same as my profile here!

that's fantastic!!!

You've done really well! Congratulations, and enjoy the big day!!

great job!!

Me too! And I've managed to get off the sofa and to the gym because I found a gym with TVs on each machine. SO now I watch TV programmes about food whilst I'm running [facepalm]...

I'm an emotional eater too. It's tough. I've always used food to comfort myself when the chips are down. I'm feeling pretty low at the moment but I've found that by focussing on the person I want to be in terms of fitness and body shape, I reward myself psychologically from resisting the temptations. It's like I'm…

Boy can the man cook! (although I probably wouldn't want to work for him)

Hi buddy, I'm in exactly the same boat. Looking to get ripped. I'm currently a bit fat, so I've got a long way to go. I'm taking the 'long-way-around' approach of getting fit first and then worrying about body image largely because the sun has finally started to shine in the UK and I loev running outdoors!

Yes it's 5 sets of 5 reps heavy. The theory is that you work the big muscle groups instead of focussing on isolating individual muscles - i.e. get strong by lifting heavy and then, and only then, add in isolation work.

Yes, it's good for your skin too. I find drinking a pint of water before a meal stops me from over-eating because I feel fuller.

I absolutely love vegetable terrine's in the summer. They are perfect served with some grilled meat on a warm summer afternoon. For example: http://www.rhs.org.uk/Gardening/Grow-Your-Own/Recipes/Recipes/Grilled-vegetable-terrine

I did some 5x5 workouts before and the www.stronglifts.com website and youtube channel has some great advice re squatting heavy and not geting injured. I've scaled back the heavy lifting to focus on cardo for now because I love running outsdie and want to do so whilst the sun shines :-)

I was totally in the same boat. I ate like a beast in my final year at uni - it was comfort eating because i disliked sitting down to study so much. I've continued doing professional exams since and found that taking time our to plan food and menus and then going shopping after a meal not before it has made a difference to…

What a transformation!! You look stunning :-) Congratulations!!

Wow - I really enjoyed reading that. Thanks for sharing...

Wow - well done!! That's inspirational
