click on the goals tab on the home page, then change goals down the bottom. You can alter the macros there. [/quote] Thanks Emma!! Wow, I didn't realise they measured protein so low and carbs so high. I'm going to set mine to 40c 30p & 30f

"For anyone who has set their own numbers (not the MFP ones which are really low in protein) how did you decide on your split? [/quote]" How do you change this??? :)

I think I did yesterdays one instead of today's, haha, duh! Nevermind, at least I did one! Quite good, once I got into it!

Day 2: *Rest day* Usually Sunday and Thursday Workout type: Dog walk (35 mins) & Warrior x Fit workout (30 mins) Calories Burned: 312 + (since yesterday): N/A Will log my rest days separately from my full on workout days! :) Bought a pedometer yesterday and it's great, I can tell I burnt off 10.4g fat on my 35 min…

Nikki...what have you got me into?? Tried warriorxfit today, holy crap, I ache. I thought when I started, god this looks really easy, but it so isn't. Feel good now that I've done it. Took me ages to work out how to work the thing and log my reps etc. Got there though. Thanks for the tips ladies x

Forgot to add my starting weight in!!! Oops - 205lbs

Workout type: Cross Trainer Calories Burned: 602 + (since yesterday): 2 cals I do other things like dog walking in the day but with this I can measure calories burned better, at least until I get my pedometer! :)

I use Isopure, it's carb and sugar free which suits me. I mix it with milk, banana, peanut butter,chocolate powder and Ice. I don't think it tastes all that great, but I don't think any of them taste that great. Mixed with other stuff makes it easier to swallow and I add some sweetner if it's needed, but a banana is…

Whatever you want it to be.....as long as you work off more calories each day than the day before it can be by whatever means you want! :) The object is only to burn off more calories than the previous day.

Weird, I am just wondering the exact same thing! I am off out to lunch in an hour with a contact and the restaurant is not a chain, it's a Lebanese mezze restaurant. I have no idea what I'll have and am already wondering how to calculate the calories. Salad and some hummus with lebanese bread is possibly all I'll do...and…

My shorts nearly fell off this morning taking the dog for a walk...when I put my phone in the pocket! Embarrassing! Also, (but this probably isn't a victory!!) my husband asked me, after I bent down in front of him wearing a low cut top, if I wanted a pair of his socks to fill my bra now!! Cheeky, but I guess it means I'm…

I hate my calves too! I feel really self concious when I'm wearing a short skirt or dress. I get on the cross trainer every night and my legs are really toning up, slowly but surely.

Wow!! Well done, keep it up!!

Wow, you now look like the other pic's daughter!!! You look fab, well done, that's some achievement and you should be very proud!

Smoothies? With meringue for desert? Put them in some sugar free Jelly (Jello)? mmmmmmmmm

http://www.bassettsvitamins.co.uk/products/adults.ashx I take these Bassetts ones, Daily Energiser, plus a B12 because I'm a vegetarian. I take the Bassetts soft and chewy ones because I hate the taste of the other large multivits you get.

Last year my club membership cost me 10,000 dirhams ($3000) and when it came up for renewal I gave it a miss. I bought a cross trainer plus kettlebells for much less than the 10,000 and I use them almost every night...and they'll last longer than a year! You just have to get yourself into a routine. I get home from work…

Yep, I really want a gorgeous Diane Von Furstenberg dress I've had my eye on, for Christmas....but I have to work flippin hard between now and then to fit into it....preferably in a size 14 (I'm UK18 now)

I kind of like the anonymity on here, I can say things I wouldn't say in front of my friends "on the outside", and am glad that none of them are here, or if they are they don't know who I am. But I'm quite a private person when it comes to my health and emotions, maybe that's just me though, it's definitely a product of…

Thanks all. I bought Isopure zero carb, sugar free powder today 290 Dirhams!! That's $80 US......this better be nice......and I'm going to make shakes after my workout each day, plus the protein bars krypt5 sent me the recipe for! I'm all good, thanks again!

I think it might be because you are losing weight and it's not fitting you snuggly anymore!!! That's good news!!! :)

I either make homemade veg soup which is filling and ridiculously low in calories and fat (don't use oil or butter just chuck all veggies plus seasoning and stock cubes into pan with boiling water and cook for 40ish minutes!), or baked potato and Chilli! Both great lunches and easy to heat up in micro! :)

Thanks everyone for the advice!!! Yeah, if either of you have any recipes that you have tried that would be great.... I love the sound of your protein meringues, haha they sound lush!

You look amazing, well done!!!!

Great post!! :)

Cool, so what you are saying is that I should just continue doing what I'm doing and eat after exercising! I too cannot workout on a full stomach, it's no fun and I usually have a much better workout when I've not had anything before other than some water. Thanks all!!!! x

Sure!! It's going to remain open and everyone is welcome!! Of course you can. Add everyone as friends if you like, then you'll get reminders and more support...it'll be a bit of fun! :happy:

Well done, you look gorgeous!

If all of us HAD actually listened to our bodies, we would not be in this situation....we would have stopped eating when our bodies told us we were full!!!! :)

A very clever friend of mine once told me that if I did plateau, simply to up my exercise a little and be patient, and there was no need to start eating more! The extra exercise will jump start things. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint. I was frustrated at first that I was exercising and eating right and losing only…
