What vitamins/nutrients are in it that we can't get elsewhere?

I used a hrm and added an exercise. I burn over 500calories doing it. In the session I measured, including 10mins on the stepper beforehand, and some stretching and the class, I burned 680 cals. Now, I take my BMR cals off that before counting how many I have left to eat! In 90mins, but BMR is about 110 cals, so that left…

Fresh coconut water has always been sold on the streets here in Thailand, by the fruit men. I don't like the taste personally, but it is very healthy. Never heard of packaged stuff (it gets poured into a bag here!) so can't comment on that.

Either my heart rate goes too high, I'm really unfit or a sweat a lot, cos according to my HRM I burned 260cals doing Level 1 of this! I weigh 145 (ish) That said, I didn't think it was too hard, I had expected worse. Strange.

Together 9 years, friends for 5 before that. Getting married in July :)

Depends on your definition of it. I don't believe in soulmates, or that there's one person for everyone, but I do believe in real, deep love. If I didn't, I wouldn't be getting married this summer! I love my OH with all my heart, I don't want to even think about life without him. We've been together 9 years and he's pretty…

I think it's more than borderline rude for someone to claim married couples SHOULD be doing something. It implies those who aren't doing it are doing something wrong. He was applying his standards and expectations to others, which is simply ridiculous. While it wasn't directed at an individual it was directed at people who…

You don't need to do the 30 day shred everyday (according to Jillian herself). Incorporate rest days into your routine.

I'm glad I could make you feel better (honestly). But, I'm not personally offended I tend to not get offended by people on the internet, otherwise I'd need to avoid the place and I certainly wouldn't survive on sites like reddit etc! I simply dislike generalisation, especially by things like gender. I had the same response…

Understandable, given how awesome I am. What harm though, I'm sure you can find other like-minded people to comfort you! Enjoy your thread.

Go do it! Do you have any plans for it?

Right, so you really meant women, as a gender, despite saying otherwise in your first post. That's grand, just makes it easier in the future to label you as ignorant and therefore to be ignored, problem sorted.

I want to travel the world! We have a bucket list of about 65 things at the moment! Slowly making our way through them.

So, you really meant 'what is it about my wife'? Why didn't you just say that?

I really can't believe that so many people judge on something as arbitrary as gender. It's really confusing to me. Anyway, people making comments implying girls are asking for creepy messages because of profile pictures is despicable. A member should be free to post any picture they want, within the rules, without the fear…

Bull****. I wear baggy clothes at the gym, or working out in general because it's more comfortable. Football shirts and shorts are my usual. Usually not matching, and I couldn't care less. Not because I'm covering anything up, or feeling bad, but because it's comfortable and I generally don't think about how I look while…

Heart rate monitor. Christmas present from my other half and makes a huge difference!

I would look oddly at someone wearing only a sports bra at my gym, but only because it would be so inappropriate in Thailand (rather than personally caring) and I'd be shocked.

I couldn't care less what I look like at the gym, but I also couldn't care less what anyone else looks like. I think your thread title 'sloppy girls' is basically doing what you're complaining about other people are doing though....judging other people at the gym

The common myth on this site is that when people say muscle weighs more than fat, they mean it weight. which is patently ridiculous. Everything weighs the same if you've 1 pound of it! It's no comparison at all. Obviously when people say 'muscle weighs more than fat' or 'gold weighs more than feathers' they mean by volume…

That this even happens is baffling to me. I don't understand why anyone would make a decision/rule like that based on gender. I understand basing friends on similar goals, people you know etc etc, but not gender. That said, I only have 1/2 active friends so it's never been an issue! Mostly because I don't send friend…

I'm gonna get married :)

I don't worry about it. It's the last thing I want to be consciously thinking about on holidays. But I have gotten into the habit of eating smaller portions, making slightly better choices etc. Eat whatever you fancy, but don't eat too much of it. Exercise wise, I don't gym during holidays, but we might walk a lot to see…

Not sure about the full 3 stone but you can certainly lose a decent amount healthily by then. I'll working towards a wedding too, but closer to my goal. It's a great motivator! I've been in spin class saying 'dress, dress, dress' to keep going! I would suggest that when you go dress shopping not to buy a dress that's too…

I'm in Bangkok, Thailand. I'm from Ireland.

Ok cool. Unfortunately it's not as easy as asking someone for me, but when I'm somewhere where it's doable I definitely intend to give it a go.

Does someone spot you or are you comfortable doing the weights alone? This is one of the main reasons I don't try, lack of a spotter.

I pay money for gym membership for access to cardio machines in aircon( I've no intention of running outside in 35degree Celsius heat), and the classes. I enjoy Body Pump, spinning etc. I use the weight machines a bit too. Not everyone has the same reasons for joining a gym.

I'm too intimidated to use the free weights area. Small area, full of musclebound guys, none of which speak english. Hope that in the future I'll be in a gym where I feel comfortable enough to go for it.
