  • I love, love, love your arms! Your hard work is really paying off. Amazing! Thanks for the massive motivational boost. :-D
  • I'm no expert but that doesn't seem like very much food for someone doing challenging workouts on a regular basis. I think you probably need to eat a little more. I know that sounds crazy, you don't want to get fat, but if you're trying to build a more muscular physique then you need more fuel. Three questions - How many…
  • I don't know much about the 5/2 diet but I think the important thing is that you're still eating sensibly and healthily for the majority of the week. Many people fast on a regular basis and don't seem to have any serious health issues arise from it.…

  • Hey, everyone. I'm Alex, 29, diagnosed with ME/CFS about 15 years ago. One of the things I find most frustrating is knowing my limits and not going over them. It's very easy to push too hard and make myself ill for a few weeks, especially when people around me are encouraging me to do more. I've just gotten over a three…
  • Hey, fellow short folk! I'm 5' tall and 185. Just starting out, taking things nice and slow. Next month I'm planning to start a couch to 5k plan. Wish me luck. x
