What other old myths, do you beleive MFP 'push' on people?

Well, if it wasn't so important to drink 2lt of water a day i.e. 8 glasses, then why is MFP advising us to do so? After all, the body is mainly made up of water, not coffee...as far as I know.

What's the verdict?

I grew up on Kefir, and it's good for the digestive system. It contains all the good bacterias, and therefore keeps the overall digestive system healthy. As for PCOS, I don't know. I didn't show any symptoms before my late 30's. Strenght training, and swimming probably helped me throughout my life, though. Who knows? It's…

I am an X shape, which might explain my core strenght. Here's a brief article on female body shapes. www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2010/11/body-shapes-explained-defining-points.html

I was refering to when I was a mature student in 2008 lol Anyway, this might apply to some women. So, here it is :) www.livestrong.com/article/360855-exercises-for-the-endomorph-body-type/

The answer to all your questions, is yes, yes, and not now, because I'm recovering from years of excessive alcohol consumption, from when I was a student. It totally destroyed my physique.

:-) I Speak from personal experience as well. Just seems like I didn't have much of a childhood, because we did PE at school Lol In secondary school, we'd go swimming during PE. I even took up extra swimming lessons at this point :)

Different strokes for different folks

It's pretty much the same PE exercises we all learned as kids, at primary school. We had two hours :)

This is what I was getting at :) www.brianmac.co.uk/articles/article084.htm

No offence, but that's not quite it, either. I can't believe nobody knows the basics. Didn't anyone learn anything in PE? Lol

You need to strenghten your core muscles. Planks, squats, lifting and lots of other things, that I don't know the correct term for. (If, I could draw a picture, I'd show you). Anyhow, I developed fairly strong core muscles in my younger days, by swimming, dancing, walking, and pretending my naval could touch my spine, if I…

Wednesday- a 3 hour relaxed walk, well almost. I did a 200 step jog, until my skinny legs, had had enough. Approx 660 kcal.

So, which Rugby League team do you support?

Makes a change from the 'Why are you fat' post.

It's a bit chilly today, so I spent some time on the stationary bike. A couple of hours = 1545 kcal. Very environmental friendly :) Also, note that I've lost 1kg, since I started this challenge three weeks ago. I'm very pleased :)

Polo is a performance sport. A lot of hard training, goes into it, and speed is paramount. Lean and mean, is the key. It's considered, a royal sport in England, much favoured by prince William, and Harry. Water polo, is a derivative. Anyway, here's how. www.waterpoloplanet.com/HTML_Mike_pages/mr01_Strength_Training.html

Resistance training is just as efficient in water as it is on land. I suggest you search on Google, as There's some epic ways to increase overall bodytone. Failing that, have you thought about aquatics?

Some people use this as a dating site, I think

I'm on my third week, challenge, and I have a confession to make. I felt pretty awful, after the 45 min. CobraFIT class last week, and to be honest I'm not cut out for it yet. Instead, I'll just plod on with what I know, I can do. And here it is: 315 kcal x 3 doing lifts, and squats. Equivalent to 3, 15min sessions. 310…

What's the catch?

General rule: 10-15 min warming up, before a work out, and 10-15 min cooling down, after a work out.

Be careful with rice. Rice, should be eaten freshly cooked. As for veg, it's better to freeze, as it keeps for longer. I don't even use a fridge, as everything I cook, prepare, is eaten instantly.

And?

Nobody makes comments about my weight, as I distribute it fairly well...well, not untill yesterday at work, that is. Have noticed you're getting bigger. Are you planning on loosing weight? he asked. Well, I'm just starting a new weight loss programme, and hope to see some results by summer, I said. I'll take you out for a…
