Tis kinda a sweet craving that I have this evening!

Its full of sugar!! Bad for you.

No you're not! I'm a 38 year old mother of 1 metaller. Been into it since I was 14. Favourite bands: Carcass, My Dying Bride, Cathedral, Pungent Stench, Paradise Lose, Rotting Christ, Amon Amarth... lots lots more - i need metal when lifting weights! Going to Bloodstock Festival in the UK in Aug, can't wait! 7 weeks to get…

Hi, I've been using MFP since last April. Initially I lost 2 stone on 1200 calories and a couple of cardio classes every week however after losing the 2 stone I stopped losing. I've been stuck at the same weight for about 6 months. So I decided to change things up and try a clean diet for February. i didn't know anything…

what is IIFYM?

Thanks Guys, gonna keep drinking it, black. What about Alpro Hazlenut Milk?

Hi, according to the Harris Benedict formula, if you train 3-5 days that would be considered moderate exercise.

Why don't you make your own protein bars? There are some good receipes on pinterest. I made some last week using oats, nut butter & protein & water.

Hi There, Glad I found this group. I've decided to eat clean for the month of Feb. My reason for this is to see if it will encourage some weight loss. I've been eating healthy since last May and I initially lost 2 stone. I took up olympic weight lifting a few months ago and my weight has plateaud since then so I'm hoping…

Wow exact same was happening to me! Finish my jog then need a sleep immediately! And feeling depressed & weary for the rest of the day! My personal trainer recommended a protein shake after the workout or if thats not possible have an energy drink.

Same here. I'm going to have to force myself out for a jog and try counteract some of the damage i did yesterday!!!

wow i was just about to post up the very same thing!!! aaargghhh!!!

I agree, don't reduce your calories so much to begin with, it will be too much of a shock to the system & your body will go into starvation mode. This happened to me & it took weeks before I started losing any weight.

maybe one day workout next day walking until you get stronger?

Hi, I am considering doing the Insanity programme - what happens when its finished? i.e. have people found they put weight back on?

I'm interested in starting it also, can someone tell me about the diet side of it please? i.e. will you have to increase your calorie intake? Are there set foods that you can only eat? Do you have to stay off alcohol for the 60 days?

Personally, I think weighing yourself everyday is crazy! Everyone's weight fluctuates so much each day! I would only check it every two weeks? People become obsessed about weighing themselves, I think it can actually ruin your progress doing it this way.
