Feeling a bit down today, weighed in to find that I've put on 5lb in the last 2 weeks, I know I haven't been making the best decisions, I've even skipped logging meals because I know they'll be so bad... I feel like I'm just sabotaging myself and it needs to stop! I'm determined to log all of my food for the next week and…

@kah68 That sounds super interesting! Radiology is a really fantastic resource! Friday fitness: Today is going to be a long day in the lab, so whenever I can I'm going to aim to do a set of bench push-ups, dips, squats or lunges, it's not much but better than nothing! Hope everyone has an awesome Friday!

Hey guys, Back after a week, Thursday truth: I am really bad at remembering to do stuff I set out to do, but I'm back and will hopefully be getting to know you guys over the next few weeks/months @melifornia asked about my research, I am a materials chemist and my work involves using magnetic nanoparticles to develop the…

Hi guys, I'm new to this community but from what I can see in the most recent posts, it looks like the sort of place I'd like to be, so my first Wednesday wish is to find the mental strength to complete my PhD without losing sight of my weight loss journey too. It's so hard to focus on both but I can't avoid potential…

Calorie deficit will only help you lose the fat on top of the muscle, if you want to build on the muscle you have and get a "toned" look, squats, deadlifts and lunges are the go to exercises for working the legs and bum. You say you have dumbells and a barbell, so I would say look at videos on how to properly do the…

Our local cinema has a baskin robbins stand, so one scoop of mango sorbet/ mint ice cream for me. It's less than 250 calories but still feels like a massive treat because Ice cream

Try cold brewing your coffee perhaps, all of the caffeine less of the acid. I make it in the french press overnight in the fridge, then in the morning, press-pour-drink :) It's less acidic because the acidic compounds in the coffee beans are extracted at temperatures above 70 degress celcius/ 160 faranheit. Especially good…

Honestly I would count it all and divide it between the portions, overestimation is better than underestimating it, or you could just add the salt after the food is cooked

Everything is a chemical if you look at it closely, lots of research is conflicted about whether or not sugar-free is good/bad/ugly/pure evil. If you find yourself going over your macros by using regular old sugar, consider changing to an artificial sweetener or you could wean yourself off it gradually. When I joined this…

FALSE! Daltons are a measure the mass of a molecule, in proteins, the larger the dalton value, the longer the length of the protein chain in it's primary configuration, Basically it contains more amino acids (good or bad). The size of a protein has absolutely no effect on how it is processed by the body..... SOURCE: I am a…

In that case I would continue taking them, I take vitamin d and calcium supplements because I do not get a lot of dairy, but things like Iron and other vitamin supplements would do nothing for me. I do think it's better to get as many vitamins and minerals from natural sources as possible as they are easier for the body to…

Sports bra! Definitely.... If I forgot that I would come home with a sore chest and two black eyes! :laugh: :laugh:

Not really, most of the multivitamins that you can buy go right through the body and aren't metabolized at all, if you are getting enough from your diet then the body doesn't take in any more (this is why vitamin C tablets turn your pee a really bright orange/yellow colour) Just focus on eating fruit/veg at LEAST once a…

Bump, thanks for all the advice!

7 am spin class followed by squats, had to move out of the women's section today to get some heavier weights, 30 kg 12x3 and I finished it no bother, up to 35 kg for me tomorrow :)

Strawberry, banana and pineapple smoothie and a nature valley honey and oats bar followed by black coffee with splenda :)

I use a cocoa butter enriched with vitamin E, works great to remove the itchyness and helps the colour go down too :)

45 min spin class followed by a 2k row (about 10 mins on the rowing machine at max resistance) Just back in the gym after a 2 week break due to illness and holidays so I'm in bits after it... It's amazing how quickly fitness can fade :(

Oatmeal with raisins as my post cardio breakfast Lunch is some roast turkey and raw peppers with two slices of gluten free bread, I'm going to see about getting some salsa from the canteen at work to add, but that's not definite yet Dinner will be extra spicy homemade chilli con carne with 95% lean beef mince, loads of…

doesn't give calories burned, but I use Charity Miles, it measures distance walked/ran by GPS and time taken. The main reason I use it though is because for every mile i log 20c gets donated to a charity of my choice. It's a free app and doesn't interfere with other apps, I know one girl that uses it and mapmyrun…

It's all of the wild sex I've been having, elevates the heart rate for hours, It's excellent cardio... really it is... Depending on the person they either laugh or walk away slowly
