I'm 24! :( haha

I think if you are working out that much now then yeah, you need to eat more calories. Listen to your trainer, they know best :) I've been eating more calories the last couple of weeks and I've started losing again. That's me having gone up from anything between 1200-1600 to 1800-2000 a day. Some days I hit 2000 and think…

22

meeeeee! haha so many times I have started taking something and then just gone...eh...and kept forgetting. Even now I have an alarm set on my phone to remind me and I turn it off going 'I'll take them in a minute' and end up taking them 2-4 hours later. My advice would be to make it part of one of your routines. I take 3…

Bananas (according to MFP) have 17g of sugar in them. I'm not sure what the exact GI number for a banana is, I think it depends on how ripe they are, but anything 55 and under is considered Low GI, anything between 55-70 is considered medium, so if you are following a low GI diet, you'd only want to have those foods now…

I think its just different for everybody. I recently increased my calories (I didn't know how many I was supposed to be having) to 1,800-2,000 depending on how much exercise I get that day. (I exercise 6 days a week) and I've lost 2lb. I was having 1400-1500 before and the scale wasn't moving. *shrug*

I can't breathe :laugh:

I just started reading and poof, it was gone. *sob*

I think its easy to assume that people are just doing nothing or 'messing around' on their phones because phones do so much now, I personally have my whole collection of music, a timer, a notepad to log my weights on, and a number of other things on there. I don't really take very long rest periods though, I probably…

We take some time for that before we sleep, but neither of us can actually fall asleep cuddling, I think I fell asleep with my head on his chest once, he was laying in bed on his laptop watching something and I wasn't well. Rest of the time, we cuddle before sleep and then in the morning for a few minutes until we need to…

Nice smile! :)

Australia, 2am, 13C, bloody cold. (I'm British so have been colder)

Beautiful :)

Hi Delta! Welcome and Congrats on the pregnancy :D x

Nice :) I have been using it in my tea, haven't seen any sticking to the sides, I stir it really well and I've been using it instead of sugar, one teaspoon of it in the morning, one at night :) is it supposed to make you feel a little bit out of it? I read somewhere someone saying it made them feel really 'dreamy and…

I've only had an issue with this sort of thing once before really. I was on the elliptical and aside from two other guys in the corner was the only one there, he came in (not in gym clothes either, normal work looking trousers, black shoes and a hoody), laid down on the floor right in front of me and started using his…

Honestly I can't speak from experience in regards to marriage because I'm 24 and have never been married. I can only speak from the experience of being a child whose parents split when I was 13 and it being one of the best things ever to happen. My dad wasn't violent 99% of the time, but he was emotionally abusive to my…

Me too! D:

Peas = Evil.

This. Although I don't think eating white carbs for a few days or so is going to pile loads of weight on for you, since you've been cutting them out they might make you feel pretty run down.

Not cheat days in the sense of just binging all day. But I have pizza/whatever I feel like one night a week/fortnight. Rest of the time I'm eating Low GI. I think its okay and normal to let yourself off for the odd dinner/lunch here and there. :)

I've been cutting out fast food and sweets, crisps etc the last couple of weeks. I feel much better, but I still had pizza last week and was fine, I have what I want once a week/fortnight, then the rest of the time stick to a low GI diet, have been on it for a week now, have cut out sweets etc for two and I've lost 2.5kg…

Have a look at the Low GI diet. I have PCOS and Insulin Resistance so I have started eating Low GI and I'm feeling loads better already. Its just swapping bad carbs for better ones, so instead of white bread, white pasta, white rice, you'd have wholegrain bread, wholegrain/whole wheat pasta, and brown rice, and so on. With…

I started strength training in January and I love it. I would suggest starting with the machines though, that's generally what they're there for, people who are just starting out or people who for whatever reason aren't using freeweights. Just use the machines for a couple of weeks to get yourself into it, then start…

I started using the machines back in January, before that I'd never done any lifting or anything before. I only very recently moved to free weights. I mean in the last few days. I'd say the machines were good for getting me to this point, I use the free weights in all my workouts now. I do use the leg press but I do 60…

Hey :) I'm 24 and have PCOS too. Are you on anything for it? I'm on Metformin, its been really great for me. I lost 65lbs since October 2012, but as of these last couple of months its just... stopped, has even crept up a bit, I'm putting that down to my starting to lift as well. I'm trying out the Low GI diet at the moment.

I've been on Dianette but I came off it because I ended up in hospital after AF came for a whole month. I was then put on Yasmin and it was great, cleared up my skin etc, I had periods again, but when I came back to my hometown from uni my doctor there took me off it because I smoked. I quit smoking in June last year and…

Hey everyone! :) I don't seem to be doing quite so well with the weightloss at the moment and it is really getting on my nerves. I work out 6 days a week and don't eat terribly, admittedly last night we had pizza but that is something we do very very rarely, I think I've had three maybe four pizzas in the last year lol! I…

Thanks! I might look into that actually. I found it was easier to hold it longer this time cause I just lost myself in the song that was playing lol! :)
