  • There's a video of a woman getting out of a wetsuit on their website if you scroll down so i guess it can be done: http://www.theundress.com/
  • I wear 28FF /30G bras, I'll let you know how it works when mine arrives :)
  • I don't go running personally myself. but I would wipe myself dry with a towel and apply deodorant before getting into clean dry clothes, much better than staying in sweaty clothes all day. Then have a shower when i get home depending on where you are/schedule etc. not everyone showers every day, and sometimes it's just…
  • I don't have a car.... you might not want to be wet/in sweaty clothes on the train/bus/walk home or you might not want to change into a bikini in front of everyone at the beach.
  • likewise for yoga in the park etc or a run before work and there are no facilities to get changed in.
  • @BFDeal great idea for people who exercise outdoors where there are no toilets or changing facilities as it can be used to change from regular clothes into exercise clothes. or from a wetsuit/swimming costume into dry clothes as there are often no facilities on a beach.
  • This looks like it might be helpful/beneficial to you :) http://fitbottomedmamas.com/2013/10/review-the-dia-method-postnatal-fitness-system/
  • Bulk Powders whey isolate 90 from bulkpowders online, high in protein and better carb/sugar content than MyProtein. NG156299 gets you £5 off new member orders ;)
  • start taking your measurements instead. tape measures and photos show exercise change, not scales.
  • as soon as you can: Wear a menstrual cup. seriously, no leaks (holds 2-3 tampon's worth) no smell, no chafing, no string, no TSS risk. :) haven't missed an exercise day during my period since! there are over 30 different brands though so don't automatically buy a mooncup/divacup as they happen to be lower capacity. I admin…
  • there are over 30 brands of menstrual cups in a variety of sizes, capacities and colours. the smallest is 40mms by 40mms which is great for lower cervixes (that might be why there doesn't seem to be enough space for tampons?) many many virgins even use 'large' sized cups if they need the capacity. 'tightness' is all about…

  • because the majority of people who have success on here ignore what MFP tells them to eat and eat their TDEE minus 10 or 20% instead. you always need to eat more than your BMR, which is usually more than 1200
  • what everyone else said. I use this which tastes great: http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/shop-by-category/protein-supplements/whey-protein/pure-whey-isolate-90.html NG156299 will get you £5 off orders too :)
  • I make my porridge with 50g oats and 300mls milk which is 335 calories and 45 carbs. if your sachet is less than that eat something else with it (fruit, toast) to stop you feeling hungry and snacking later on! always look for entries with the highest number of confirmations, select raw for vegetables etc.
  • Buy the book 'the new rules of lifting for women' :) that's everything you need to know
  • drink lots of water and try to avoid salty processed food eat normally but have a treat snack wear a menstrual cup (seriously. life changer) exercise as normal, or take it a bit easier if I'm feeling very wiped out
  • not as tight as you can, taught enough so the band is straight all the way round with a finger under the tape measure where the ends meet
  • 5ft 5.5 inches 9st /126lbs 35-26-37
  • I've completed it several times, with heavier weights each time round (once you can do the advanced moves) have a towel on hand to keep wiping the sweat off, drink a litre of water afterwards and do extra stretches and warmups (I combine several of the ones from her other dvds) it does get easier even if it doesn't feel…
  • what exercise are you doing to burn over 600 calories per day?! stop using the mfp exercise database as it massively overestimates and get a heart rate monitor. or you can go here and calculate your TDEE -10, 15 or 20% to get how many calories you should eat each day to lose 0.5-2 lbs per week. this number includes your…
  • I Batch cook meals and freeze portions in containers when serving up dinner so I know how many portions each recipe of mine makes. My portion is smaller than my OH's so I log 0.75 of 1 portion in my diary :)
  • I create a recipe with all the ingredients in it (we batch cook meals and freeze portions n tupperware all in one go so I know how many portions each recipe makes for us, my OH has 1.0 portion and I have a smaller portion so I put 0.75 of 1 portion for me in my diary)
  • in the UK, chickpeas, beans and lentils count as a vegetable portion (3 heaped tbsps) but they can only be counted once. so if you had 3tbsps each of chickpeas, beans and lentils in one day it would only count as 1 veg portion. :)
  • The UK guidelines are 7 a day (so 5 veg, 2 fruit, or 7 veg) a serving (uncooked) is 85g I probably get between 5-7 a day depending. we usually have 3-4 of veg on the side with dinner, plus 1-2 in the main dinner meal, 1-2 in homemade soup at lunchtime, plus any fruit I have during the day (raisins, apple, banana, satsumas)
  • stop eating only 1200 a day, eat more and you'll lose weight. read this and you'll see what I mean: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1235566-so-you-re-new-here then go here: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ and work out your TDEE -20% here: (this is the number of calories you should eat per day to lose…

  • what about just some balsamic vinegar, or olive oil, or soy sauce, or mayo? or you know, stop having salad and have mixed veggies like peppers, carrots, celery, cucumber, cherry tomatoes with hummus to dip in, 1-2 boiled eggs, some cheese and 2-3 crackers. or homemade soup and bread/crackers. you don't need to have salad…
