Love both of your stories! and can't wait to have some of my own. Perfect NSV's!

I think you are very brave for asking here, and also very smart, because you can pick and choose the best ideas to fit your situation, so well done for that. I agree with those who say not to single her out in relation to the kind of habits your family have for fitness and health. Those who are slim now, may not be later…

Everyone is doing so well, it's awesome! @cynforgiven - I see that you said the app will now log straight to MFP via runkeeper? I actually run endomondo in the background while I am doing it and that logs straight through. I will look into runkeeper though - I think another app I downloaded (on how to get to 100 pushups -…

They have several hawt versions that were released after the latest two movies that I have seen for sale online.... I wanted my sister in law (super model gorgeous with no idea that she is!) to wear one when we went to see Into Darkness. I didn't even contemplate it - I wouldn't even look ok in the engineering uniforms. Go…

First Up! You are totally Awesome! Congratulations! Ed has an awesome story like you do, and he posted about his surgery on his blog - and I have seen him be very supportive of others here, so I am sure if you have specific questions he would be happy to help you. This is his thread, it is a sticky in this forum…

big hugs from me too, it's very tough when life gets in the way of things we would like to be doing. No matter what the reasons or motivations. I splurged the other day and got Nia Shanks Beautiful BadAss Blueprint - It Includes a Strength Training Guide with Barbells, A Body Weight Training Guide, A Cardio Fat Burning…

Be careful with those deadlifts Stef - but in the case of annoyance - choose the cussing option! on all the cussing (especially saving them up for a special deadlift @scrappin') I will have to study some Dexter episodes and take tips from Deb - she has the best pottymouth! I'm like @RoxyLola at the moment with loving DOMS…

ooooh... there is one I can pay for? that is super exciting, I would love to get a comparison start point and then have it all done again in x months or x kilos. I have only used my ww scale once on the body analysis mode for a start reading - that was nearly a month ago, I should do another check to see what it says now.…

I got so gushy yesterday forgot about the cricket :) definitely a usual sight for me I quite like the game particularly one day games. I believe they created 20/20 games to try to appeal more to the US audience I think that makes it like a long baseball game. I went out again today my PT was upper body work so legs not…

a) I have borderline pd b) I have a reasonably large tattoo on my upper back c) I have self harmed in my past people who self harm are not doing it to "enjoy pain", and there are as many reasons people use self injury as a coping mechanism as there are people who have mental disorders. there are a lot of people who get…

Carrots are my go too food when I have sugar cravings - sweet enough and I assume that the glycemic index would mean I am getting the fix quickly. So It depends on what your goals are... Mine are to stop myself from having a total stuff everything I can into my face moment when I feel super hungry and weak (evidently blood…

Hi, sorry about being MIA - am back in form now. My cold didn't last long, almost as if it was about to be a cold and then decided not to stay, so that worked out well. Felt like I hit a motivation slump yesterday but am focussing on trying to ramp that up again too. I went out on Saturday morning and did my first 5km in a…

I like (and require) opaque (footless) tights/leggings especially with skirts because my thighs chafe like crazy and did even when I was thin and young (like 20 years ago). But stockings have always been annoying on and off - ripping all the time, washing weird, never remembering what the back or front is and then feeling…

I am not sure where you are, so not sure if this would be available for you. I used Berlei Electrify Underwire - it says 50% less bounce and 10% extra if you cross over the straps - I cross over for running but when I do weights I leave it uncrossed as it does feel quite restrictive when crossed over. Also a friend of mine…

Hiya, you can already seen a difference in your photos and I agree that you may not want to focus on losing bodyweight. Especially if you are doing an intense exercise program, it would be quite important for you to make sure you give your body enough to sustain itself while kicking butt in the training you are doing. I…

Have Reported for Duty :D

One of my favourite go too quickie meals that is great for leftovers (and I have to credit weight watchers for the recipe) is a filo pastry quiche. The first time I made it as instructed but have made many different versions now, depending on the veggies i like or the protein I want to add to it. I usually add a mozarella…

I have actually never heard about foam rollers... but still a noobie noob, will check what they have at the gym and see if I get DOMS over this weekend. Next PT session in 1hr!

Then Lots of Home Delivery Meals (Pizza, Lots of Indian Food, Chinese) At least one large bag of Kettle Crisps a week (and we would each get one not share) Lots of Chocolate - Big Blocks at a Time Beer glorious beer.... Bacon glorious bacon.... Entire bags of lollies (starburst jelly babies were a fave) Full Fat versions…

If people come out of BodyPump class and they are not sweaty or shaky then I don't think they are working with heavy enough weights. The idea is that you should be adding weights every time a track is easy for you (but you also need to lower weights if say the next version's track is twice as long or has way more reps for…

I don't think there is anything at all wrong with trying to identify how much calories people think any exercise burns or how to track it in your diary. You are clearly here to be healthy and querying things on your journey without just following something you found (like the OP has done), is useful not only for herself…

Hi i think it depends on the routine really. My calves are always very defined (well relatively compare to the rest of the lard). I used to cycle a lot when I was young not sure if it's related to that or just genetics. I have a pretty small foot too (size5/6 US ladies) but my calves are 40cm at their widest and I am…

Hiya, this thread is old, but there were quite a few answers added the last few days http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/530482-weight-watchers-whats-your-experiences?page=2 I have been doing both for the last 10 or so weeks (ww two weeks longer than MFP) put a bit of detail into my other reply. ta Q

No updates from me trainig wise, I got a cold and missed a gym session - made me want to cry :sad: . Just wanted to say everyone is doing really awesome, I love reading about all the lifting work everyone is doing, it is really inspiring.:drinker: Hope all the injuries get better quickly and the menopause thing - only have…

I assumed I wouldn't then the first time I did a lunge track in Les Mills Pump I regretted it, so after that I did it with shoes. I think it's good to do some activities bear foot and some in shoes in general it toughens your feet and shins in different ways. (i think that is why there is such a strong movement in running…

Maybe let your spin teacher know? that you are all for the class, but you need to take it down a level so your quads can recover from your lifting? You would still help your cardio endurance, but you are not spinning like some to shape your legs, you are spinning to increase your endurance, so you don't have to push your…

a lot of this thread is super old, and even those old replies some people are referring to years ago when they went to weight watchers. I am on weight watchers now, and I am tracking my calories. I actually ate less before I started to track my calories (just using ww points) but now I am doing both and listening to both…

Hi Runner 5s I've been ill the last couple of days so pretty much lying in bed feeling sorry for myself. Just a cold though (I can be a bit melodramatic!) Will probably be doing a mission - or just a long walk tonight and get back to things over the weekend! Take Care Q

I grew up Muslim too, and we ate breakfast and dinner throughout Ramadaan and then pigged out on Eid. I believe this played a small part in my issues with eating. As for the naming convention arguments--- And the literal english interpretation of the term doesn't make sense, but that has nothing to do with whether or not…

Hi I have just started lifting, unfortunately super weak so need to do some accessory work to build up my strength in general while working toward the big lifts. I am doing the Starting Strength program, which is very similar to Strong Lifts. I also borrowed a friends NROLFW and read that, but like others have said seems a…
