  • your macro spits aren't the greatest. Macro- fat, carbs protein I am eating to loose weight slowly while building muscle and I eat 122 g carbs per day, 22g fat (Fat macros is really hard to stick to for me. I always end up going a little over.) 148 g protein thats for ME at 122lbs Your protein is LOW and the other macros…
  • I did not read all the replies, but well done for your goals achieved already. One thing I can say which I think has already been mentioned is to lift weights. It will change your body composition and overall look providing you eat right. I am 5'2 and weigh 119. I am eating to get thinner, leaner & stronger… and am lifting…
  • Im doing my first one in May and am interested what other have to say....
  • I have a whole egg, in combination with some whites. There are arguments about wether or not the cholesterol in the yolks are 'bad' for you. But I typically don't have more than 1 whole egg when I eat them... The albumen (white) contains about 80% of the protein in the egg. The yolk serves primarily as a fat source for the…

  • personally I wouldnt cut out fruit, unless you think it triggers you to crave refined sugars. If you try cutting fruit out, up your veggie intake. You could always try it and see if it helps you? Also increasing protein might help, good luck!
  • I use to have a treat everyday... from a small piece of chocolate, to an indulgent piece of cake. To overcome this you have to be strong. Set goals, like you will have a treat only on Saturday. Now when you have a treat, dont have a week's worth in one day! When you have your sugar cravings try and have protein. A late…
  • first of all good for you and well done for your achievements so far! You should be proud of yourself :) Your husband is being very childish and petty. Perhaps he is jealous that you are getting fitter and loosing weight whereas he is not. You cannot let his insecurities stop you going to the trainer. I just dont get why…
  • I use myprotein powder and mix it either with milk or water to repair/build my muscles. One scoop is about 100 cals, so as long as you consider it for your overall daily intake you wont go ver your calories. They dont make you loose weight, however simply, 'the more muscle you build over time, the easier it is for your…
  • hope the surgery goes well :-) if you feel up to it you can always enlist later on :-) Or there will always be more to enter in
  • I'm afraid to stay physically healthy exercise is key. Can you not get up extra early to go for a run or to the gym? I know people lead busy lives, but really you should make time
  • completely agree, if you want 'fuel', you need to eat foods with high biological value, sausage rolls, oreo's all those tasty foods are not good sources of fuel
  • eventually you will be able to resist the temptation, trust me! It gets easier the healthier you are. Like everyone suggested, there are healthy options. I personally loathe McDonalds, but you can eat cleansih there. You could try suggesting different hangouts?
  • your body has its own appetite suppressant called leptin, stay away from additional suppressants
  • dogs.... cats wander the neighbour hood **** everywhere and scratch paintwork on cars! Grrrr, rather I hate neighbours more than cats!
  • The only side effect I had was that my skin broke out more... I was on BC not for acne control, but once I went off the pill my skin broke out more. But through healthy eating, taking appropriate Vitamins its fine now :-)
  • yup its pathetic isnt it!! Always buy 1 get 1 free on chocolate bars, crisps etc. I guess using crappy ingredients and processing costs less than to grow fresh fruit & veggies...
  • As your having knee issues I;d be inclined to go in for an assessment. I run in nike Free's and you have to start easy runs in them as they don't offer loads of arch support. Saying that, they help strengthen your natural arches which is good :) Now I graduated from those to Vibram's... They take some getting use to but I…
  • When I started running my goal was 10K, once I could run 10K I was doing it every other day. Its doable for sure! I dont run it everyother day now just because my toe nails took a beating & I do so many other things that I dont need to run 10K. But I still run, usually 5-8K if I do. I know that if I wanted to run 10 K I…
  • Ok, this might sound odd, but ask the receptionist if he genuinely has a learning disability. Sometimes individuals might lack those personal people skills all together. If he does then a different approach might be required. Are you married? Wear a wedding ring? Even if your not!! lol I don't really know what I'd do? My…
  • like everyone said.... no matter how many sit ups you do, if there is fat storage there they will be hidden by the layer. You could have beautiful abs hidden under there! Its not fair I know, but eat healthy, drink lots of water and keep on exercising!! It really depends on your overall BF% as well. My abs started to show…
  • get proper flea treatment suitable for young kittens, you NEED to treat the mother as she is what most likely transmitted them. You also have to treat the environment
  • Go to a lifting class..... Loads of men avoid it, but its great motivation and hard work! But fun all at the same time. Some people dont ever increase their weights, but I do. In my body pump class a few men go, the instructor is a guy too.
  • I use to find it hard to rest, but your body needs rest in order to repair, rebuild and to get stronger... since doing more weight training I have upped my calorie intake and dedicate at least 1 day to rest. I have a dog, so even on my rest days I take him out twice a day. So I still get minimal exercise,
  • do cardio to shift fat deposits, eat healthy and do SQUATS, LUNGES, SQUATS AND MORE LUNGES
  • your on the right track for cal & vit D... double check to see you are taking on sufficient Calcium though Also I am sure you know weight training helps strengthen bone density... keep it up :)
  • chocolate fondants, or also known as molten lava cakes.... not low calorie, but you could opt for frozen yogurt or something while they eat those lava cakes?

  • I use to have the odd glass of wine here and there, but I am trying to cut it out completely. I have done pretty good. When I do drink I keep under the suggested units and drink 2 glasses of water for every glass of wine. I still enjoy a glass of red wine, but its very few and far between. Alcohol does affect your fitness,…
  • we all have off days, or days we crave bad food. I use to give into these cravings all the time... however now I just push those thoughts aside and drink a big glass of water and make some healthy food. After I eat the good food those cravings always subside, well of course they do as I am no longer hungry! however, I do…
