Very helpful tips! Thank you x

OK... So I have totally taken on board what you guys have said - I have logged everything I have eaten and exercised, rather than not doing. I have reduced my carb intake - and altho theres some junk food in there (mates birthday party so we had take away) I have made a massive difference to my day to day in take! I have…

Hahaha thanks! x

Haha... today I did eat a banana - we shall see what happens! x

I would just like to say, thanks so much to everyone for contributing to this! I have definitely taken it on board - I have upped my calorie consumption... OK so I have eaten some junk food but getting rid of stuff lying around so I am not tempted in future. Although it is strawberry flavoured - I have had 2 litres of…

Its sugar free vimto I have - basically I guess syrup which you add water to.... x

You guys are all so awesome!!!!! Your feedback is brilliant, I know my calorie consumption is 1200 each day without logging because Ive been calorie counting for so long I know what each food is worth - if you look back a few months you will see I was logging regularly. I really do hate water - but I will try to drink…

Ok... maybe I will up my calories to 1500 - just scared! I will also try and reduce my carb intake - but I just find all other food boring! My diary has been offline for the last few weeks, but I am definitely not underestimating my intake... if anything I am bigging it up! Thanks x

I normally have two slices of wholewheat toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and then some meat with roast veg for tea or an omelette. I may have a couple of bananas too. I do normally get my 5 a day, and occasionally go for processed foods but usually not. Water - i cant stand it but am drinking 2 litres of cordial…

Alright guys, ju checking in again... Recap - the challenge is: One week to swim 33795.3 metres (The English Channel) Today I swam 6640metres (332 lengths) Since Friday I've swam 16849 metres (842 lengths) - 49.85% complete Half way there!!!! :D

I'd like to yes! I'd love to in fact. I think I could do it - just would take a whole day! :D

Thanks for all your comments and well wishes! So Friday I swam 284 lengths Saturday I recovered. Today (Sunday) I swam 226 lengths. British Channel Challenge - 33795.3 metres June 10 - (swam 5680 metres) - 28115.3 metres left June 12 - (swam 4529 metres) - 23586.3 metres left - Total - 10209metres - 30.21% complete…

I did a biological sciences degree and am a teacher of science. During normal day to day life, your body respires (turning glucose in food and oxygen into carbon dioxide, energy and water). This means, with every breath you take in, you are turning the glucose from your food with oxygen in the air within your cells. Every…

British Channel Challenge - 33795.3 metres June 10 - (swam 5680 metres) - 28115.3 metres left by length 222 the chlorine made my lips numb. by length 253 my sholder really hurt. This morning I woke up and i'm so stiff. oops!

yea the lack of hair was for less resistance ha ha. I have a cracking bruise on my leg that luckily you cant see under water :) x

No worries... I'll keep you posted! I managed 120 lengths today, did 150 on Tuesday... I think I can do it - just iot is going to take a long time (which I didnt realise until the post - so thank you!) Any tips would be grately appreciated! In the meantime - I have a waterproof mp3 player to help pass the time, and have…

I think your maths is a little off... would take just over 2 hours a day. 282 lengths at 30 seconds a length (or 0.5 minutes) makes in 141 minutes (not hours) which is 2.35 hours. Its gonna be tough and I know it will be.... wouldnt be a challenge otherwise! :D

Thanks! Join in :D Ha ha ha! x

So,.... it's a no! I'll try and drink cordials more and ween myself off it! I liek the idea of having a cup with a straw... I like straws! I'll "man up"... but after this pint of diet cola! My last one! i'll try!

wow 21lbs in 5 weeks! Ive been doing that ages and not got those results! From what Ive read on this feed, I think your GP was right to be concerned! Good luck!

Wow! You've done awesome! Keep it up!!!!

Hey guys, Thanks all for your comments! I think things have become a little clearer now! MFP said for me to lose 2lb a week I should be taking in 1200 calories. Ive been looking and trying to get below 1200 to lose more weight... however now I realise (from scary capital letters) that this is wrong! Im now going to up my…
