I used to love a fried egg sandwich or when you have a fried egg and eat all the white and pop the yolk in in one and it pops it your mouth (very greedy but so so good) but since I had my last baby I hate egg yolks. Being able to still eat the whites gets some of the goodness without throwing up. What sucks even more than…

Because I don't like the yolk. No other reason. You can buy egg whites only so no need to be wasteful if you don't want use the yolks to make egg pasta or pastry.

I am starting New rules on Monday. I am meeting with a coach at the gym this Saturday and going to get him to take me through any of the moves I need technical help with for stage 1 workouts A&B. The from Monday I am going to be doing it. I was going to start 7 wks ago but I bottled it. I am now in a much more confident…

That was my exact thought to. Awesome job OP

I believe Its of lean body mass not body weight and its 0.7grm to the lb (everyone rounds it up), if my understanding is correct. So for me my LBM is 115lb which equals 80 grm of protein. I eat egg whites and chicken to get the most of mine in.

Thanks for the advice. I'll put my foot down with the fitness coach on Saturday and tell him no Smith machine. Is it sad that I am so excited, was going to wait to the end of the month to start new rules an then I stopped and thought what exactly are you waiting for. I can't wait to get going and my bubble fully burst…

no, this is the smith machine, minus the option of the free bar at the back. the other picture was the squat rack they have

Im in the UK so not 100% on the gyms you guys have over there. My gym is ok apart from this. If I can use that squat rack instead I will get the coach to show me how to do it safely and I will put in a request for them to get a proper rack. In the 7 wks I have been going today was the first time I had seen anyone using the…

Its kind of like this one, not 100% it has the pegs sticking out on it though.

I have someone who agrees with the ears. He loved them till he snapped them. Hope the pic works

Hi From Bedfordshire here, you can add me if you would like. (I tend not to just add people as I don't want to be presumptuous, typical brit lol) I log in every day. I would like some UK based friends so please fee free to add :happy:

If you are using your shoes for training (as opposed to leisure wear, see rebook slippers) then they should be replaced every 6 mths. Although they may look pristine on the outside they break down on the inside and do not support the foot correctly anymore. At least, this is what I was told by a few different people and it…

That's spot on actually and it is definitely cardio as my heart is banging through it and sits around 170. Though the gym guy had me doing 15 reps at lower weights and I changed it to 10-12 at higher weights it's still what I would class.more as resistance training I am doing now than weight training if that makes sense.…

I don't know anything about your specific injury but I did 30 day shred and about 14 days into it I hurt my knee quite badly and I had to quit. I am also aware of a couple of other people who have had the same issue with knee injury from doing it. My best advice would be to speak to your Dr about doing the exercises and…

^^ This. My cat would not approve. My one year old loves being bench pressed though.

I have a couple. 1a I was was walking around the supermarket shopping and I literally had to hold my jeans up all the way round because they kept falling down. They are now in the sell pile and I only have one pair of jeans that fit in this size bracket (see below) 1b, When I was right at the end of my pregnancy with my…

I still can't get my head round canned chicken :noway: And your post is really not selling it to me either :laugh:

Don't go out with the smokers (alot of quitters think this is a good idea to test their resolve, not a good plan). Do you have a canteen you can go and sit and have a drink, if tea/coffee is a trigger then have a fruit juice instead. I started to hang out with the non smokers instead and it helped. I know that right now…

THIS ^^ That was so me when I first started going and now I am all' yeah i'm sweaty and I have worked my butt off for it' I do think a few people look at me, bright red tomato face and sweating like anything, a couple I think might be eww look at the state of her. Others might be wondering if they should call me an…

I choose Gym. I struggle to get motivated at home and its easy to not do it. Gym, However, I plan when I am going and stick to it. Next week I am going tomorrow at 9:30am (after school run), Tues at 6am, Weds about 8pm, Thursday off, Friday 6am, Sat 7:30am and sunday off. If I tried to do that at home I would get…

I log everything I eat, even down to my 9 calorie fish oil supplement but thats more so I can track how often I forget to take the flipping things lol

I have got the stronglifts stuff and read NROLFW and I have watched LOTS of stuff on you tube re form (including both stronglift workouts) Its a confidence thing for me. That's why I was thinking of dipping my toes in with squats rather than jumping in with both feet. I was just wondering if adding the squats in with a…

Thank you. Yes I definitely use stabilizing muscles as I have to hold my balance and position on a few of the moves. I was thinking of asking the coach to take me through barbell squats (back) they have a power cage and Olympic bar so starting with just the bar and, for now, just incorporating them into my routine/program.…

Cadbury's Dairy Milk is the best. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I can't touch any at the moment. My will power is not that strong. Hopefully one day I will be able to eat it and not devour the whole bar without a second thought, but not today :sad:

This thread right here is why I am going go sleep now and my 'hmmm not sure if I will go to the gym tomorrow' just became a hell yeah I'll be going. Inspirational stuff!!

I did 15 days of it and I hated her and told her to shut up (and other not so polite things) more than once lol

The look on your face in that last picture says it all. Well done to you :happy:

You have done amazingly well. Have to agree, you look hot !!

For me it depends on what it is. With eggs I would allow a couple of days past the BBE and judge it on what the egg is like when cracked open. Older eggs tend to lose the firmness of the white and I like the white to be quite firm so thats the biggest factor for me. I tend to go by look and smell rather than dates.

I love the stone brackets. Even down to the 1/2 stone. I started at 15st 7lb last year after having my last baby (I have never admitted that weight anywhere apart from my head before and I had lost at least a stone before I weighed myself) and dropped 2st7lb. I have been hanging around the 13-13.7 mark for about 6 mths, I…
