Its called the thermic effect of food - there is an energy cost associated with the breakdown and digestion of food. Just as exercise burns calories so too does eating. You burn energy digesting food. This is called the thermic effect of food or dietary thermogenesis. Lean proteins are highly thermic, around 30% compared…

Somebody posted this yesterday, which I kept (taken from Articlebase.com MYTH: Eating a diet that is too low in calories will cause the body to go into starvation mode and not burn any calories FACT: Severely cutting calories will cause the metabolism to adjust slightly, but not enough to prevent fat loss Remember that…

Hi from sunny London.

On my off days I walk about 12 miles. I was thinking about doing 30d Shred but I am concerned, from what I have read in other posts, that I will hurt and mess up my C25K.

Wow what an achievement - you both look amazing - congratulations to you both. A weight loss journey and a love story as well - MFP is an amazing place.

I thought my partner was teasing me when he said 5 was out in the summer. I wonder if they will make the 5 like the 3 instead of the 4?

Mine would be: Couch to 5k Walkmeter pt Kettlebell, iFitness Woman's Health Amazing Abs Woman's Health Workouts. Gymboss

Solid. All man!

Amazing progress and also a really good blog. Loved the progress pictures - what an inspiration. I have just finished W2D3 of C25K - the best app ever. Again, amazing job and a true inspiration - thank you for sharing.

But what a great sense of humour you have.

What an amazing achievement - well done you. May I just say what an impressive chiseled jawline you have. Loads of wolf whistles coming your way.

A regular bra whilst jogging. Every day I see the same woman jogging with her puppies spilling out of her vest top and nearly hitting her chin - it looks sooo painful.

Well done you, you have done so well. I agree this site is amazing isn't it, nearly as amazing as your achievement to date.

Well done you for your weight loss so far and well done you for deciding the time has come to give up the *kitten*. I totally agree with @melliebell. I smoked for over 20 years, a 20 day habit and when I decided to give up, instead of eating a bar of chocolate when I fancied a *kitten*, I ate a raw carrot instead. I also…

That is an amazing success - well done you.

How about walking. The fitter you get, the faster you can walk. It works for me.

I went from a UK size 14 to a UK size 4 through eating healthy and walking over 11 miles per day which I maintained for over 5 years . I moved house, gave up walking, gave up on me and hey presto a UK size 12.

That is exactly how I have been recording it too.

On my off days, I walk 13 miles per day instead but part of me now wants to jog a bit. I am really enjoying it and that I never thought I would say.

Amazing job - well done you. I take my hat off to you and wish you well on your journey.

When done to you and your husband. What an amazing achievement, you must be so proud. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Best of luck to you, I am sure you are going to shine.

You look amazing. Well done.

I can so see a difference. I reckon you are going to have one pert bottom there. Well done, I take my hat off to you.

All this talk of wine.........mmm I can taste it on my lips now. ("A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips")
