  • Whilst I think she may have been trying to spare your feelings, a small voice in my head is asking 'why post about it on fb where you're gonna see it anyway' and then you have (possibly, in her eyes) two issues: 1. That she was socialising with the friend you're no longer friends with and 2. She lied about it, knowing…

  • As I'm skint and don't have much room either, I bought a selection pack of bands. There's 5 in total with varying degrees of resistance. Some of the moves are fab with them, but deadlifts, rows and bench presses tend to be a bit meh IMO. Perhaps I'm not doing it right? Because its low rep, you might get bored with your 5…

  • Thanks for that- I do use my HRM, for my DVDs and running. I spot use it for walking to check I'm still burning something similar and I need to do another spot check with it when I'm gardening (I don't wear it habitually for those activities). My portion control is probably fairly successful, although I do use my recipe…

  • I love baking so I feel your pain! The one thing I like, as I think someone mentioned, is that with homebaking, I can input all the ingredients here to get an accurate calorie and nutritional info, which has actually put me off buying premade things. It's good that since starting MFP you say you now eat things over a…

  • Had a quick look, your overall calories don't look too bad IMO, I noticed on sat you had KFC and that made me wonder if changing your settings to log your sodium would help, as if you eat processed / fast food there is normally a lot of sodium in it and this can cause water weight.

  • Love it- why do you think in medieval times monks used to (and still do) make their own wine or beer and drank that instead of water (I'm not sure they still do this!). I'll try to get my 8 glasses of wine in today for sure!

  • Yeah, I probably am to be fair! Finished the burn phase today and looking forward to starting the push on Monday. Gonna stick with the bands for now, I have no money or space for weights at the moment! I only went up to the 3rd of my 5 resistance bands in burn, so hoping to push it a bit further in..erm...push!

  • I'm sorry you had a negative response to this accomplishment from your friends! Perhaps you could ask the one that made the comment about running it a few years ago if they've done any distance since? I've had great support from my friends and family, I find talking about how I feel when I'm running helps them appreciate…

  • I think it's an individual thing. I used to exercise on empty but found myself feeling lightheaded, however, when I was doing c25k, I had no problems about setting out straightaway for a run then coming back and eating. For other exercise, I have my breakfast, allow it to settle, and then workout. Like I said, I think it's…

  • Hi! I did the 12 week programme before Christmas, and it is an AWESOME workout! You get either 10 or 14 DVDs and a book and programme to follow. You can do a 9 week prep schedule and then depending on how many DVDs you received, choose from the 12 or 20 week programme. I think there's a 5 day 'fuel the fire' starter thingy…
