NUTS! Brazil nuts or almonds, just a handful pack a lot of mono fats and protein. They are very filling but light too, so you won't overeat before lunch. they're easy to store and you can keep them in your desk drawer. Be careful though, weigh them out and mfp log them as they pack a powerful calorie punch.

I do dumbell presses on the floor on my gym mat and a large towel to support my back, some other good routines on here which i'll be using! Nothing too heavy though as run a risk of fatigue and heavy object to the head as youre unsupervised! Thanks all.

Who are 'they'? Grazing can help even out your blood sugar levels and prevent hunger pangs. Find what works for you, 3 large meals or 6 small ones. it also depends on when you get your breaks, not everyone can eat whilst at work so you only get a lunch break. it doesn't matter in terms of weight loss, what impact it does…

Exactly this, DOMS is good pain and actually eases with repetition of tearing the same tissues. Pain around a joint could be muscle or tendon strain and this needs to rest and heal completely before attempting further training. One way to tell, could you do a full push up on it? If not, then rest. Its not a race, better to…

Flaxseed is a good additive to shakes and yoghurts. High in iron and omega fats too.

If you're consuming nuts, seeds and leaner protein based like chicken and fish then your sats should be way below. Are you monitoring this right? Your fat is total fat calculated so will include poly and mono fats. You may be 'over' your fat but not all of this will be saturated. Maybe lower the frequency of beef, as red…

http://www.amazon.co.uk/PhD-Belgian-Chocolate-Flavoured-Protein/dp/B003AX6DRS PhD Whey is my choice now, after using H&B and the myprotein and getting a lot of bloating. They do lots of flavours and have added flax so ups my fibre too. I have it in the am before cycling and after an intense workout or weight session. Its a…

Welcome back Jenny, good luck on your weight loss journey! I log and try to offer support every day so I'll add you.

It is possible. Is it healthy and sustainable though? NO! You will put every pound back on when you go back to the diet that caused the weight gain. If you're studying then this should be your concern right now, you can lose the weight later on when this important time in your life is over.

Some REALLY great advice above, one thing I want to reiterate is the scales. I was eating almost 400 additional a day until I got the digi scales. So I was eating back half my exercise cals and MORE. Good luck with your journey. :D

Great work! Very inspiring pics.

You can get low cal Creamer too to make your coffee appear more indulgent. Or cheat by adding rice or almond milk instead of full fat cream. It tastes a lot 'thicker' and more like high fat content coffee. You can also have a faux protein laden mocha if you add Choc protein powder to your coffee, best done in a blender!…

Body brush and slather yourself in almond/grapseed oil every day.

Muscle does not weigh more than fat. 1lb of muscle ways the same as a 1lb of fat. It is less in mass, so you can weigh 140lbs and look entirely different depending on your body composition. Muscle takes up less space and is dense, compared to fat. If you want to remain the same weight, work out your TDEE and start lifting.

I eat straight after a workout, whether am or PM. If you're struggling with your allowance, try smaller portions.

I want pancakes. Can i eat them and blame you, since you're to blame for your own making of and eating of the food?!

i would avoid creatine, unless your target is to increase your muscle and lose bf% to that of a female athlete. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/buffmother1.htm PHD Diet whey is pretty good, it contains CLA and L-Carnitine, green tea extract and Flaxseed. It's a good all rounder. Amazon sells it for 20 nicker, cheapest one…

Work out your BMR, then your TDEE, then calculate what you should be eating and eat it. Quick fix fad diets leave you yo-yoing between weight, not getting proper nutrition and constantly reinforcing bad habits. If you want to 'get fit' then start training (cardio, strength, based around whatever your goals are), please…

Firstly, great that you’ve decided to start lifting! It will completely transform your body if you follow it right, eat enough and log log log everything. What you lift, reps, what you eat, macros etc keep a diary of it all or use the app. I personally log on an excel sheet! The 5x5 routine is a great place to start, I’m…

I already pack miniscule tupperware packs with healthy snacks for work and days out, it's a gimmick I know but it feels like a little treat to me! I binned anything with more than 12g of sugar.

QTF. You end up performing less well on one or both workouts. I do Cardio on my non Strength days. usually 45 minutes intense or as long as i want on steady.

Once you have them, they’re with you for life. They will fade over time and become less noticeable, massaging oil into them every day will help soften them. You can use generic almond/Grapeseed oil from health shops. Avocado oil is really good for scars too.

For inspiration or to find a good artist you could head to Tattoo Jam. http://www.bigtattooplanet.com/forums/conventions-exhibitions-other-events/26183-tattoo-jam-october-2013-a

I like tattoos, no matter where they are on the body :D Providing they're well done and suit the person's look. i have a half sleeve planned for the next few months, an homage to Tank Girl, not looking forward to the underarm part... Least of all looking forward to the swelling and rest I'll have to factor in.

Wax. Shave? yeeeouch!

For those using spinach as a way to boost iron, give this a read. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/drawback-using-spinach-iron-supplement-7894.html

Anything by Salter.

Flaxseed in live yoghurt.

I put mine is as Boxing 'Turbojam', it's pretty accurate. Enjoy your class!
