Excellent!! I was wondering how to add yoga. Who'd have thought it would be found in the cardiovascular tab!!! That's why I never found it :)

I am seriously considering fully committing to veganism (I am a bit on and off at the moment) so would be interested :smile:

10 kilograms here!! Just started yesterday :) Happy to be added B) Generally haven't been sociable before but thought I might try the sociable approach!!

I have sent a request to join this group :)

Oh and forgot to say...love food...also a foodie

Hey there!! I see you post is a month old now but we are similar (apart from age but age is a state of mind!!) I am 41, 5'8 " (well just under...I am 5 foot 7 and a half!); CW 147: GW 125 I am a distance trail runner, I am just about to get back into the gym once a week for the winter to add weight training for the benefit…

The act of weight lifting itself burns very few calories. A little more than normal everyday moving about but only a very little more. Weight lifting can be effective in pursuit of weight loss in a less direct way. Increasing your muscle mass means that your body will burn more calories generally since moving a 65 kg body…

Standard advice is that if you need to (you shouldn't 'need' to, as it were, if it is just a normal long run but some people find it helps after they have worked hard racing) but pretty much universal advice is ice bath/run into a stream/the sea etc. Hot baths would be fine the next day but can increase the amount of time…

I am not an admin but did you highlight it, right click it and "go to"??? The link has not been hyperlinked (certainly not the one I looked at but I did it by hand and that worked :)

Oi!!!!! Not so disparaging you :wink: If you have got to a certain level of fitness through years of consistency then a total day off does for the main just becomes completely unnecessary and actually turning your legs over (if it is a leg based activity) is better than a day off unless you have overcooked it. A gentle…

Absolutely!!!! Because you are just doing classes, they are short period of exercise and low impact, so long as you are basically well and eat properly then there is no way that this level of exercise is too much. Ignore nay sayers...it is usually motivated by...well not jealousy so much but somehow people infer some kind…

Hey girl! Are you keeping an eye on your iron levels. I have just had to add an additional iron supplement to my day as feeling a bit whacked. Us ultra running girls ramp through iron more than the average girl and particularly if you are eating lean.

Oh well that's annoying. When custom altering my goals on MFP it would like me to alter my macros in % not grammes which requires some calculation on my behalf...sigh:sad:

Although today's food I think may be a little carb heavy when I put in new formula...hey ho!!

I have just had a look at this and am going to try using their formula. I have never been entirely convinced by the 1200 + exercise calories idea. It seems not to account for the needs of people who do actually exercise. I have just done my calculations and am going (as suggested) to give it a 4 week trial. Cheers for the…

Hey there, I am fit and active but have weight to lose. I need to lose about 10 kg (24lbs). Happy to be added :smile:

Cool results girl :) Of course as an aside, weight lifting does very little for your cardiovascular health unless you tempo lift. I think there is a place for both activities. Lifting obvious increases strength and is very good for the ego (which is important particularly in women) but whilst your muscles will grow and…

Forgive me all if any of this is repetitious but I have not read all of the other responses. It is difficult to give any conclusive answer about whether it is right for you to do the 75k as it kind of depends on what level of base fitness and endurance you have. Now I know you have only just started running but have you…
