Hi if it's bothering you and you want to check it out, I would see a physiotherapist first and then they could refer you to anyone else if required. I don't have experience with what you described sorry. But sometimes it's good to just check things out just in case it's something that needs follow up.

Well I am pretty sure you look just as hot with your big but boring moves too! That is exactly what little miss insecure (ie me) needed to here after my mirror paranoia. I look forward to looking at myself lifting heavy stuff after 9 months (or however long it takes) and thinking I look hot! thanks for the inspiration!

Congratulations on all your hard work! I agree you have a beatiful family, beautiful in both pictures. It's wonderful that you can now participate in more fun stuff with them and what you have achieved for yourself and your family. Hope you are taking time to pat yourself on your back for all you have done already, even if…

Hi, I have just started my weight loss journey, 4.7kg down and have had basmati rice a few times and I have sushi all the time with white short grain rice. FYI I have also had baked potatoes with butter and cheese, duck fat roast potatoes, candy, chocolate, full sugar rasberry soday, wheat beer, beer, vodka, and I tend not…

I'm embarrassed too... Checking form in the mirror makes me want to cry. It is totally demoralizing. But I'm doing it anyway I want to lift heavy and I may feel embarrassed and ashamed worrying about what others are thinking but I leave feeling awesome and empowered and I know who I see and what I think others see is only…

Hi I'm a noob so can't help much, but I did just watch a YouTube video with Nia Shanks saying that the first time she thought her shoulder development was what she would like was when she started learning to do hand stand push ups. She also has videos on how to work up to it. From what I've read she advocates similar…

Same with me! It hardly happens to me any longer now that I am eating a bit healthier (less processed stuff and way less take away, making food from scratch instead of from jars. Also (and I do still drink it so please don't think I am saying don't have any at all) I find that diet coke (and therefore I believe any diet…

don't try to compete with others when you start out. all you need to do is beat yourself (as in better your last work out) not smash your face up :tongue:

If you are already pretty strong, you may well not hurt tomorrow, but most people wake up with significant DOMS after their first PUMP class. Years ago my first one, I remember not being able to step down the two steps in our back yard, this time restarting fitness I was in agony for 2 days after. If it isnt challenging…

You are doing so well vaugirard15 I've seen lots of posts about runners having flat days. I agree its good to listen to your body we're doing this to improve our quality of life no point in stuffing that up. I got no blisters today but I think it can be a combo of socks and the fact that I had a significant incline most of…

Congratulations! You could probably get a way longer dive out of a tank now too. Great Work.

The toddler is hilarious! :laugh: and you are fantastic, congratulations :flowerforyou:

Congratulations on 'getting it' at such a young age too! You should be really proud of your hard work and commitment, Well Done!

I too did it years ago (and another variation with a different soup) but pretty much the same thing. So has my mum and lots of other women she was friends with. I think it's fine to do it if you really want to. But it is essentially a super low calorie diet, the combinations of food and the soup itself doesn't really do…

Hi, I'm in Australia... and freely agree that some GPs are very good at helping people in specific areas, but some can be bad and have no idea about a certain area or medical issue. I GP-shopped a while before I settled on a practise I go to when needed. Having said that I never spoke to my doctor in relation to how or…

Hi, I am in the middle of a kind of Couch to 5 K one now (Zombies, Run 5k Training). It is a Phone App, and has a story line going on in the background. I am very overweight and have a background of zero exercise (including the walking). I managed to do a few weeks of the program going from 5 10 second runs, to 5 30 second…

Don't forget the dreaded Pastri-llini and Pastizzi-tler and Mao Zedoughnut The list of ebil pastry chefs who cause obesity epidemics may never end... You smash one's hands or cut their hamstrings and another one rises in their place... and well really how can we not blame the poptartarazzi if they weren't feeding us the…

I hadn't read the revised and smaller Marilyn Monroe sizes, apologies to her. and I wasn't trying to compare myself to her or to say I wasn't obese just that to me at the time, I wasn't flabby or disproportioned and definitely not unhealthy and surely this would not make me some sort of unique specimen. There would be many…

with the lactose intolerance and chocolate binging and wanting to try a keto diet to help with your disorder. Maybe you should look into chocolate substitutes that are high in protein and then if you really feel the need to binge, try to control a tiny part of it by choosing something that will help with your chocolate…

and seriously, the mirrors at the gym are <<<<FAT>>> mirrors ... my mirrors at home are actually quite friendly. I thought I looked pretty kewl in my shiny new gym gear :embarassed: (50% off all items already on sale at a clothes store!).

Not comparing myself to Marilyn Monroe but at obese weight as I mentioned my waist was 73cm 33inches is 82cm So as you say quite small well 10cm less than that is obese according to bmi calculations and she was only 3 inches taller than I am.

I survived my PT session ok. She didn't say or do anything annoying or against what I am trying to accomplish. And actually said she is excited to have a client doing something interesting. Overall she thinks that I am overthinking in the deadlift and squat and so I need to build up some confidence in those so we can…

:explode: :angry: :explode: did you actually look at the site I mentioned to check the variation in size at that weight? at that weight I was a US size 10/ Medium (Australian Size 12-14 http://www.onlineconversion.com/clothing_womens.htm) Marilyn Monroe was supposedly a size 14 Right? do you think she was obese too? YOU -…

Hi, I belong to weight watchers here in Australia and when you use cooking sprays - as long as you are not coating it in oil it's zero points (so negligible calories) I think the idea is it is used up when cooking. If you are spraying for a while though, I would try to guage how many tea spoons it is. The other thing that…

I kind of have an issue with hearing about the 'obesity epidepmic' is that BMI is used to determined who is obese and who isn't. Have a look at mybodygallery.com I am 5ft2.5 for someone my height 75kg(165lbs) is obese. You can enter those stats for comparison. There are clearly people in that size who look to have a lot of…

LOLs - thanks for that. I am very particular about my penmanship but I think I may forgive myself if my letters are not well formed! and thanks for the other links @DaniH826. Fingers Crossed PT is amenable to being told what I want as opposed to telling me what I want.

^^^^ bwah ha ha ha I'm a cat lover too! - We have Arya Stark a British Blue Shorthair who recently turned 1 (in my pics). She is totally awesome. She is fascinated by water, to the point of sticking her head in at the edge of the shower curtain when we shower. And waiting under nearby taps for us to turn them on so she can…

I think what people mean when they say this, is that they have a tough time sticking to an alotted amount of calories, and even if they know, they can eat way more doing lifting, they also know it will give them the hungries, and they are not yet ready mentally to have the hungries and not stuff their faces full of…

Hi Everyone, hope it's ok to pop right in. Total Noob here. I was going to do Les Mills PUMP for 90 days then start lifting heavy, but have done some research and taken feedback from MFP forums on board and am going to start my program tomorrow. I am going to do Starting Strength, which from what I can tell is very similar…

@Vaurgirard - re- Starbucks Cups - there is a new(ish) fantasy TV show called Sleepy Hollow, where there version of Ichabod Crane comes to the present. (found it) Ichabod Crane: That building used to be a livery stables. Lt. Abbie Mills: Yeah? Well, now it's a Starbucks. Where they make coffee. Ichabod Crane: And that…
