Should read about your inner transformation not abiuttheinner! !!!

Thanks for sharing. Especially liked your point abiuttheinner transformation meaning more to you.

Hi just one consideration that may help, are you using a heart rate monitor to measure the calories you're burning? I'm no expert, but I've recently begun using one and the estimated calories burned are quite a lot less than the MFP estimates. I'm told using a HRM is the most accurate way to estimate calories burned. I use…

Very well done. You're hard work and commitment is very inspiring. Enjoy the journey.

Thank you. I'm wincing getting in and out of low chairs today! I'll try the tips thanks.

I'm doing a body pump class for the first time in a year this eve. Any tips on how I can avoid the terrible DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) I usually get when starting out?

Thank you all for your replies. In answer to the question about what is healthy,( great question by the way!!!!) for me I would define healthy as near to nature as possible , ie. not relying too heavily on protein shakes, I know many people on here seem to have good success with them. I just would prefer 'real' food.

YUM

Really be proud of what you have acheived! you're looking fab!

If you're in the UK AVOID Holland and Barratts Precision whey protein, its awful! leaves a nasty chemical aftertaste. I'm still looking for a good one in the UK (I want to avoid the hefty postage costs!) A personal trainer at my gym said he reckons they're full of chemicals and not much good for you? I'm still open minded…

Really great, another reason why BMI is a useless measurement! How tall are you btw?

Hi that is referred pain from your neck, be careful. get your posture position checked and see a physio soon! PS i'm a physio so i know what I'm talking about! but I can't assess you over the www. all the best!

Thank you for your replies there are definitely two schools of thought on this one! My gym does not have pads. I did ask my class instructor to check my form and she said it looked ok! I have a slightly protruding vertebrae at T1 but lots of people have this! I'll try and grin and bear it and see if a towel helps and just…

Anyone out there?

I'm not much of a coach, and I'm still learing the jargon... NSV = non scale victory, great to keep one motivated if the scale is not budging but the inches are or maybe you just fell fitter. TDEE = Total daily energy expenditure. ie. how many estimated calories you burn going about your daily business there are plenty of…

Hi I just bought a tub of precision engineered chocolate whey protein from Holland and Barratt - conclusion REALLY DISGUSTING i bought it because it was on offer!

Hi really excellent progress, and there is a HUGE difference. My sister has PCOS and in my research for her, I found out two essential things. 1. Getting enough protein is essential and really helps symptoms. 2. Sugar is your enemy! All the best as you try and battle the dreaded PCOS.

Hi I think that having days like that are more common than you may realise. I really overindulged this weekend and went over by 1000 to 2000 over the weekend. I'm going to try and be healthier today and exercise!!!! I don'y think fasting entirely is a great idea because you may be more likely to overeat again, but I'm no…
