I am on my second go round losing weight - Spin is great it was the first class I went back to and even at 260lbs I can make it through a whole class - the trick is you sent your own resistance and speed so you are working to push yourself - I fit 2 to 3 classes in a week on top of my other exercise - you will need a towel…

Hi I am a fan of Myprotein when I am using it to blend with frozen fruit and hazelnut milk in the summer When I want something quick PHD diet works for me as it mixes thick and tastes like a a McDonalds Milkshake If I am going to have something twice a day I need to enjoy drinking it Lucy

Hi My Protein are great lots to chose from in the range I use the pure 95 whey which is really good unflavoured I blend it with fresh or frozen berries and hazelnut milk this way I avoid all the sweetners It also looks and tasted like a McDonalds milkshake They also do Pea protein which my trainer recommends Lucy

Hi I make my own shakes as can't stand most of the over sweet flavours I blend the best quality unflavoured protein powder I can get with frozen berries and a little hazelnet or almond milk comes out thick like a McDonald's milkshake For a change of flavour I add cinnamon powder or some 100% chocolate I have found and if I…

'Irriversable' there is a really disturbing rape scene although the premmis of the film that starts with the ending of the story was great. and Baise Moi another truly disturbing film mainly becouse it plays like real life..... Lucy x

I have been in the same spot and also had a major fall off the wagon, Talking to my trainer I realised that I needed to look and the macros rather than just the calories and it turns out I was not eating enough fat for my body to feel safe losing weight I know that sounds strange but your body needs fat to survive (warmth,…

Hazelnut milk and frozen fruit Makes a thick shake Lucy

Hi I can really relate to this About 6 months ago when I had lost 70lbs my trainer put that amount of weight on a bar and had me dead lift it (at the time we had not done alot of lifting) I was shocked as to how much it weighed Since then every 10lbs I loose we add it to a bar at the end of a session, now I know I am…

Hi I weight everything - it has made a real difference to my weight loss I even weigh veggies and salad and every ingreident I put in recipies... I measure liquids to the mill log everything good or bad What I have found is that by logging everything it keeps me honest and I have also stopped nibbling when I cook becouse I…

Having struggled with different flavoured powders for months and no matter what anyone says they taste from tolerable to vomit inducing I can recommend the following which I have every day and love - it also fits nicely into clean eating and avoiding artificial sweeteners which continue to cares a problem with insulin…

Mine is Frozen Berries Unflavered Protein Powder (isolate 95) Hazelnut Milk Coconut oil in the blender and comes out like a thich mcdonnalds milk shake... What a breakfast

Hi The simple answer would be NO however there is more too it then that... I have learnt that it is not just the number of calories but the quality - look at the balance of protein, fat and carbs I lost my first 80lbs on 1200 cals in 8 months then it stopped (well slowed down to be more accurate) it took me a further 3…

Hi I have had the same problem andmy other half bought me Sennheiser PMX 680i Rugged Neckband Headset for christmas I would never have anything else - they stay in place never rub and the sound quality is great... Lucy

Hi Everyone should share this link...... One of my favourite films is 'If these walls could talk 2' It's hard to rationalise that this is still happening in the 21st Century - it's time that we stopped sitting at the back of the bus Lucy

Hi I swear by MFP - it has made a real difference to my journey... Lucy

For the past 11 months I have been using Protein shakes in the morning as a replacement for Breakfast a meal I never have time to eat because of my job... They have helped in 2 ways:- 1) Increasing my Protein has helped with building healthy muscle and my training schedual 2) Having Protein for breakfast stops me getting…

You are doing relly well!!!! I would agree with alot of the other posters espically TOM issues I had a really obvious pattern to my loss over the past 10 months including not losing the week of my TOM and the mid week of my cycle then dropping the other 2 weeks. I would also say look at you micro nutrient balance 1200 -…

Hi I am just the other side of the Bridge in Bromley/south London area Add me if you like Lucy

It is quite complex to work out and is not just based on age,,,, My PT did mine and I needed to measure my resting HR for him when I first woke up in the morning to make the calculation work.... I am a 42 yea old woman and my max heart rate was 176 however I do have a very low resting heart rate between 45 and 55 The thing…

Talking books - I get into a story and the time just passes..... I have been known to keep going for longer just to get the the end of a Chapter.....

Hi I use PHD Diet Whey as a replacement for breakfast (partially as I tend to eat breakfast on the go and also to give me a good source of Protein - this helps kerb appitite) I use the diet whey as it is not loaded with unwanted carbs and cals. I have been doing this on the advice of my trainer since I started this journey…

Hi The month weigh in thing is a bit of a psychological check for myself.... Losing weight (although important) stopped being my main goal around November as I started to love the way my body was feeling the fitter I got. I have struggled in the past to only weigh once a week but have stuck with this, my concern is that…
