  • Well I have started as a trial 30 day shred again, I did my workout about 3 hours before aftaar. I was actually ok, I didn't feel thirsty and as I have been doing a lot of cardio before ramadhan I found it really easy. I am planning to do the workout every other day though and keep on this level 1 longer too.

  • I was doing Jillian michaels ripped in 30 before ramadhan and completed the 30 days. I am currently walking 15 minutes fast pace twice a day now in the garden but I am getting bored of doing that. I was thinking to myself yesterday that I might do 30 day shred (I've done this workout before) before aftaar as people have…
  • Yes french toast, some people call it eggy bread.
  • Yes it is 't the end of the world, I did a 15 minute brisk walk in the garden and ran up the slopey bit each time lol as well as some crunches and deadlifts. Aaaahhhh i can enjoy my evening meal now without fretting now. I always have calories left but i would rather that than go over. Anyway all is good.:)
  • We add sugar and a bit of milk and a bit if sunflower oil on pan to cook it in.
  • It is ramadhan so i am fasting, when you break your fast thats when you can then eat something after hours of not eating, to begin your fast I say KEEP, when we wake at dawn to eat something before our fast begins, it is actually the literal translation of how I would say it in urdu maybe its not the appropriate term but I…
  • The brands are correct but the quantity of ingredients I made for 3 people. I will be doing a little workout or its going to be on my mind all day. My breakfast is usually a very satisfying 250 ish calories! I suppose a one off won't kill me but blimey that really rocked me!
  • Hey there you kook amaaaaazing! ! How tall are you? What exercises etc did you do?
  • Yesterday we had spinach cheese filo pastry samosas (baked! !!), pakoras...just 1 for me though. Daal, chapatti and fruit chaat. Today is fruit chaat (we have it everyday in ramadhan), lamb pulao, raita and homemade chicken veggie spring rolls.

  • Yes I noticed that you do get full pretty quickly. I have a huge dish of fried foods fir the family and seriously I don't even get tempted I may just take one buy don't feel like I want more. Alhamdulillah Discipline is important at the table!!! How long are fasts for people here? Here in UK it is from 2.12am till…

  • Ramadan mubarak!!! I am fasting too but trying really hard to log calories, it's so difficult since ramadhan food is not the same as we eat year round. I am avoiding or taking only very small piece of the snacks foods. I keep my main meal on priority and only if I really want a small help g of the finger foods. At suhoor I…

  • It is my first ramadhan where I am counting my calories only. I just tweaked my brekkie log in again, I know it will be filling enough and I do want to save enough for breaking my fast. Yes the first few days will be trial and error I suppose to see what works. I will be staying g away from fried food anyway but I will be…

  • Oh thank you I did think this would be the right way to go about it but as I am relatively new to all this I thought best check with someone first.
  • When I am cooking for the family I have been known to grab a couple of cans of tinned beans and do some bicep curls etc and squats in between stirring the pot lol leg raisers, side lunges anything I can do safely in the kitchen. Since I got into loosing weight and MFP I always seem to have my core engaged, it is all those…
  • Excellent job. You will look even better in another 22 weeks. Keep up the good work!
  • I am not sure, I do log Jillian michaels ripped in 30 as circuit training but as this is all on your feet walking jogging running I am not certain where best to place it. :/
  • I just ate pizza , I didn't feel guilty but was scared I don't go over. I don't eat fast food so I felt like I deserved a one off treat.
  • I am Asian and we eat those kinds of foods anyway but in restaurants that is no where how real indian/pak food is like. It is restaurant style rubbish and people think they are eating Indian when really authentic Asian food tastes so different I hope you find something nice to eat on your outing with friends
  • Lol. You don't swallow air you just don't eat till you are full and that would be enough to breath comfortably and not feel stuffed.
  • Hi I too will be fasting and this will be my first Ramadan when I will be watching what I eat. What I plan to do is eat healthy nutritious foods at dusk and water too and the same at dawn. I don't think you should stress too much about Ramadan as it's only for a month and after a few days I am sure you will work out the…
  • I do ripped in 30 by Jillian Michaels and if my toddler is happy I then do a biggest looser power walk they are about 15 minutes each. Lol at your little ones Thwing things so funny but I imagine not so funny for you!
  • Oh so once you are in the maintenance zone you eat more calories?
  • Oh yes definately still helpful I just did a 15 minute power walk and wondered how to log it.
  • I imagine those chest am straps would be annoyingly uncomfortable too during a workout when you are all sweaty. I think I prefer a watch
  • It seems that it is a heart rate monitor I need then from replies I am not wanting to count my steps daily just calories burned during a cardio workout.
  • Oh I can definately see the difference, you have done amazingly well and I hope you reach your end goal and come back with more pics. Great job! !!
  • I made a lot more than the recipe so I adjusted it . Thanks for the tips.
