That was my every day breakfast as a kid....2 Weetabix with a spoon of golden syrup on top of each, cold milk and enjoy :-) They're made down the road from me and with the wind in the right direction you can smell weetabix with warm milk everywhere!

I like it...I think...looks flipping tough!

Widen your hands somewhat...narrow is tougher and wider easier. I'd go to Step 3 or on knees with hands wider than shoulder.

Popcorn?

I use squash as hate plain water! I like mine quite strong so would be worth measuring just how much a serving is when you next make a glass up.

MFP has converted them to calories as such? So fat having 9 cals and the others 4 reduces the amount of the others? So calories rather than volume...I think!

For some reason certain brands really mess up my system. In the UK "MyProtein" just gives me terrible cramps and wind and bloating yet other whey proteins are fine. Trial and error I think and maybe have half as much and see if your system takes it well?

Wait a couple of hours and come back - this thread moves fast!

I'm into week 10 of P90X having previously been a cardio junkie. I'd say you could easily forget the Kenpo and Cardio days of P90X and run instead. The Plyometrics is a good tough workout so would keep that in the schedule. Plus on anything but the Legs day a short run before/after P90X would work fine. I find the legs…

Sugar on veggies - ewwww...nasty! When you bake them like a jacket potato do you also eat the skin?? I love that part of regular baked potato when it crisps up but not sure sweet potato does the same? Those who "noodle" them...treat just like courgette?? Thanks :-)

You could seriously be onto a winner with this!

Portions generally smaller when eating out - which is still less a regular occurrence than in the US. Choice of fast foods and coffee more limited. As ever though we follow the US and these things are changing along with waistlines! Oh and refills not so common...otherwise much the same except our bacon is better as is our…

I decided to have a go at what I think is HIIT this week! Sunny here (yippee!) so my gym (aka conservatory) far too warm for the Insanity session I had planned. So got my skipping rope out and after a 5 min general warm up did 10 x 1 minute hard skipping with 1 minute rest...kept moving in the rest and for the first few…

I don't think the label includes any additional ingredients rather than it being just the veggies. Edit - must read the small print "when cooked according to instructions"!

I love chocolate and I love chips (fries to most of you)! Once when at the seaside (Blackpool) I ordered a cone of chips and smothered them in salt, vinegar and HP (brown?) sauce. The guy on the counter looked at me weirdly as I did so and only when I'd walked away and eaten the first one did I realise it was chocolate…

Just catching up and found once again a juicy nugget like this has just been passed by...this thread makes me chuckle :-)

I broke my leg in 2003 and was terrified about gaining weight as my 80 miles a week running meant I could eat well. I was able to swim though - initially with a pull buoy and then full stroke and just used my running determination and energy in the pool. Kept a much closer eye on my calories and actually lost weight as I…

Personally I'd do both but with the basis being that the weight loss will come from eating at a deficit. The exercise is a bonus for health and can allow you to eat more than you could without it...

Whatever her name was on breakfast news - Fiona something?? She was very infuriating indeed. It's not Horizon and will be interesting to watch bearing in mind all I've learnt on MFP about sugar being the devil - NOT! I do agree though that it is stuffed into way too many foods labelled as healthy and/or just foods you…

PS. Being a bit too driven I followed it to the letter BUT wouldn't do that again and nowadays mix month 1 and 2 or T25 to have easier days...

Truthfully...it's tough and a big jump. Longer workouts and tougher exercises. If I had written the programme I'd make it 90 days and month 2 would alternate between the same session length with tougher exercises with longer sessions with more month 1 exercises. I also got injured in month 2 and took ages to finally get my…

Had to google DILF and wish I hadn't - I'm getting old!

My go to is: 1 scoop chocolate powder, mix with milk to make a sort of thick gloopy texture then nuke for 45-60 seconds, depending on how gloopy it is. Makes a kind of warm souffle/mousse type dessert which is lush. Sometime sprinkle some PB2 on top as that makes it slower to eat and feels more filling (I'm a piggy and eat…

I used to do that too - usually a couple of small gummy sweets. Stopped doing it for a week and never missed it after that. Now feels weird to even contemplate it.

Isn't that Laughing Out Loud Out Loud Out Loud Out Loud (and repeat) though?! PS The loose/lose drives me nutso too!

Ah ha - got it - cheers!

Dumb question but have often wondered what the * denotes?

I love catching up on this thread but tend to kind of speed read and then see a one liner which grabs me so read further waiting for the comeback, the questions and the detail. Makes me chuckle how some just seem to get passed by... Point in question: Tell us more!

I'm such a runner - now ex runner as never fully recovered. OP - when it impacts on the quality of every day life then it just isn't worth it. Swim, bike and maybe return to running as a triathlete! Good luck and heal well.

That's a really good call and where I'm heading at the moment. Still 3lbs to lose until I'm at my goal but then want to try maintenance and lifting for a while to see what happens... I know that otherwise as I'm feeling satisfied with losing I'll keep plugging away at that, so need a new goal.
