As opposed to cardio rats who exercise everyday like crazy still eat very little and are skinny fat?? Yes, there is only a small percentage increase in how many calories muscle burns per hour, but that is not the only metabolic increase provided by building and maintaining muscle. After an intense workout with weights…

if your muscles hurt because you haven't trained it in that way much or before, then the soreness is awesome because it means you are building the muscle. If you want to work on the same muscles again, you probably need at least a day break for the muscle to repair itself and learn how to protect you from the same exercise…

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. And just quietly there is nothing too wrong with being heavy either. but if you really want to change that, you can and being here is one step along that road. Before any of us can succeed with the food, time, effort, exercise, heath and fitness goals you need to succeed in your…

I haven't actually come across any heavy lifting MFP users who are in any way competitive about the actual weight that is heavy to individuals. And as someone who has yet to start, I would actually not feel intimidated to post about not being able to lift much to start or even about not being able to lift the bar alone…

@Cynforgiven - had to laugh at you doing so many missions together. but happy to hear you are looking after yourself. Elliptical is supposed to be low impact isn't it? I mean when it comes to knees and joints and owie things? I think it's better than running too much I mean - so go for it. And make sure you are fuelling…

Great Work CynForgiven and your sister! I have a little spreadsheet where I track all my data (yes I do double enter things from MFP and weight watchers and I track some extra things too) - I love data can't help it. Anyhoo, my current average time for a 5k doing wunning/wogging/slogging would be about 55mins Your timing…

I don't see why any of us should regret eating anything?[unless it was poisoned or induces food poisoning] I am about to have some Starburst Babies (jelly babies by starburst) and some chocolate. All food is ok and this will be in my calorie goals and even if it isn't if I go over calories by a teeny bit, the overall…

Hiya I did my last repeat of the week 3 missions today and I should be moving onto week4 next. Slowed down my pace again so I could focus on getting the 5 run drills done, but I did also run in all the free form runs (only a teeny bit though, but some in all of them) so even though overall pace was lower than when I walk…
-
Hi Everyone and welcome IMElektra! I think it sounds similar to me your run paces Vaugirard15 because you ran a teeny bit more on Tuesday yeah? maybe that is the only difference in pace? I am actually surprised by how much faster the km is that I am doing my run drills in than the rest. Because it is only a teeny bit of…

I would like to join as well please, I am keen to do anything that will keep me going and motivated in this health and fitness journey

Yep equipment was at ladies only I wanted to make sure I wouldn't be wasting my time going there to start with.

from what I read about your magic track pants they like looking at you too ;) Thank you for replies greatly appreciated. The strength and conditioning gym is different to the woman's only one :( I would need to get my name on a waiting list for that one. For now taking over a membership at the woman's one seems reasonable…

Hey Hey I love reading and writing, so I think we are all good on the novels! :) I did my second wk3day2 on Wednesday morning, I felt really good and didn't realise but I upped my pace again (after slowing down for the physio thing) . I am not sore in the shins, so that is great but I found the 1 min drills very tough…

Totally awesome! Congratulations
-
Congratulations, you are totally awesome (and bad *kitten*) for doing it in the cold rain and very inspiring. Especially to someone like me trying to get through 5K training now. Thank you for posting and massive woo hoo to you!
-
Fantastic Work and Super Awesome Time too! I'm going through Zombies, Run 5k Training now and have a tentative 4k untimed race and am looking for a locked in 5K to do as well. I would be very happy to finish, never mind breaking PB's. You ROCK! what a wonderful inspiration!
-
Congratulations to you! That is awesome stuff, don't discount your hard work talking about speed or that it's indoors, think of how far you have come! I am also learning to run at the moment in Zombies, Run 5K Training I am repeating my week3 of 8 weeks, but I hope to post like you have in the future. Well done!

If you Google choice scale tests there is an article where they tested a heap of scales from memory none of the body fat/ water etc ones got a higher score than 70% because as stated that is more about trending. Also if you have scales that do both when you do weight try not to use the body analysis mode, as just weight…

It's not the number of ellipses, it's how you use them.... I've recently become aware of how often I use them, now I am going to be paranoid too.......................................................................

congratulations for working your own *kitten* off! you look fantastic and the change is very evident in your photos also a shout out as a 5ft2(and a half) peep starting at a similar weight to you, I am very inspired and motivated to be able to post like you have in the future. Thanks for sharing your success

Hi I think most doctors suggest exercise, getting outside and counselling as first options when people are depressed. If it is due to a trauma that they need to talk about the medication can make you well enough to actually deal with the therapy in a constructive way. There are also lots of different medications, some are…

^^^^ All of what they said... BF hands down. BMI is only for the super average of average... it doesn't work for super fit, super strong and a load of other people Like I go from normal to overweight at a size 8 US clothes and I go to obese at a size 12? Seriously? I am definitely obese now and both BF and BMI would quite…

the software is called mixmeister bpm analyzer it was on a free software download site then you just point it at your music directory and it does it's thing they do say that songs with same bpm can be different - depending on the feel of the song - so I think rock and dance are good and hip hop, reggae and easy listening…

yes, runners world has a couple of recommendations on strengthening your foot - towel exercises or elastic ones and my physio recommended a different stretch after - do a normal calf stretch, hands against the wall arms stretched, facing the wall, one foot back and heel down, then without moving your heel bend that knee…

so glad all is going well (well other than the damn withdrawals that is!) your hubby is supportive, work is supportive, and you have also found support here... it will be over soon and then you can concentrate on your exciting going to have a baby stuff! oh... if you have weird bad dreams - that is withdrawals too I…

I would have just spoken to myself in here each week until someone felt sorry for me he he he (but very glad and appreciative of the company in her thx!) yes I am doing Les Mills PUMP, its sort of a mix of cardio and weights because you use (relatively) light weights and do a lot of repetitions to music. I don't think that…

I haven't decided what I think about Crossfit yet (just so you know) Huffington's earlier CF bashing post, was also kind of a repost, I think I read the original and then read HP one it was like a glitch in the matrix. Totally agree that CF idea is based on HIIT and Strength Training The combination of both actually has…

with you on this... I am an apple hater. They even put me off the fruit a little.

I'm also keen on getting some sort of USB port in the implant, so you update and add your own apps... and maybe open source code, so that you can tweek it the way you like too. Oh... and the implant needs to be able to read danger signals pre-injury and if you're a cross fitter, tell you to stop after DOMS is a certainty…
