Try some Fat Boy Slim remixes. My favourite is Kung Fu Fighting. When Dove's Cry is also really good. Also, Ke$ha is really good music to workout to. Or Panic at the Disco's It's Time to Dance. I need really upbeat music with high bpm, such as techno and dance but I also like it recognizable, like the Fat Boy Slim remixes.

Any Fat Boy Slim remix is a lot of fun to run too. My favorite is Kung Fu Fighting but When Doves Cry and the Beastie Boy's Intergalatic are really good remixes by Fat Boy Slim as well. I have a lot of Kesha, a bit of Panic at the Disco (Time to Dance is GREAT). If you like dance and techno, try Sugababes and Girls Aloud,…

I love to bake too so I've had to find tons of lower calorie recipes! Chocolate Mousse With Raspberries Ingredients (Serves 4) 80g 70% cocoa chocolate 2 egg whites 2 teaspoons sugar 4 tablespoons/70g plain yogurt 30 raspberries (appox 95g) Break chocolate into a pirex jug and gently heat the jug in saucepan of water. When…

Ditto! This site isn't blocked at work so I use it then. I barely use MFP at home, which is a killer for my weekends. The iPhone app is a great backup but it's quite slow if your wifi or 3g isn't great in that area.

I like p90X. After a few weeks, it's a little boring and some mornings I just want to strangle Tony whats-his-face but its a good workout. I've just downloaded some of Insanity but haven't got the full program yet. I might start interchanging some of the Insanity cardio workouts for p90x cardio workouts, which are the…

Not sure where I am for the week or how long I have left to go but my new HRM came in today so I can start tracking it all better! It's so pretty! I've got P90x planned for tonight but I'm going to my allotment tonight first so I'll have to see how worn out I am from digging. 2 hours of gardening is quite a large calorie…

Just bought an F6 on amazon. I can't wait for it to arrive! Thanks for the help everyone!

Steph, the zig zagging is a good idea. It's hard for me to schedule my calorie intake. I can schedule my breakfast, snacks and lunch but dinner can often be a free for all. My husband is the cook in our house so some nights I'm at the mercy of whatever idea he has in his head. I've told him over and over again I'm eating…

I know the feeling. I've been living in England for 2 years now but everytime I go back to Chicago to visit my family I'm constantly concerned about how much progress I'm undoing. The first thing is to enjoy your holiday. That's why you're going in the first place. The second thing that I found helped me is to leave a…

Yesterday (22.04.10) burned 262cals. Don't remember what that gives me for the week so far. I think I'll do my weekly totals on Tuesday. My 262 count isn't the total calories I told MFP. I walk alot which isn't counted in my 1270 daily cals so I have to put it down (especially if it's brisk walking and longer than 30…

I like Fit in the Sun as well. It's been really nice and sunny here for the last couple of weeks which is unusual for England so I'm feeling very sunny and chipper. Knock wood we don't get two months of rain now! Becky, if I don't feel like beer, I'll sometimes have a Bloody Mary but anything more than 2 shots of liqour in…

Steph, What race did you run? I think I might be running my first this June so I start training in a week.

Just realized I'm 6 hours ahead of you so I guess I'll post yesterdays numbers the next morning. Wednesday: 505 Total: 505/3500 Lost 1.6 pounds since yesterday too. I know I'm not supposed to really be paying attention to day-to-day loss, it should be weekly but it's still exciting! Today's (thursday) mini goal: Stay under…

My weekends are normally ok. I go for long runs and long workouts on the weekends and I'm helping my friend get elected to Parliament, which involves about 4 hours of walking door to door each saturday and sunday so that all counteracts any going out to eat or hitting up the pub. Plus it keeps me busy and not snacking…

And my name is Dee, by the way :P oops!

Hello Becky, I'd be interested in joining in as well. I've been working toward getting fit for a while. I also have a problem with my midsection, it just won't budge! I have a desk job as well but walk there every day (about 2 miles each way). I'm an American living in England and don't have a UK driving license yet, hence…

adding for the beer/ale drinkers... Pint of Guiness Draught 210 Pint of Guiness Stout 170 Pint of Bitter 200 Pint of Ale 4.5% ABV 220 Pint of Ale 5.2% ABV 250

UK here as well. Where in the UK is everyone?

If you are doing vinyasa, ashtanga or power yoga, then the calorie burn is higher. I weigh 130 pounds and burn 400 cals p/h doing vinyasa/ashtanga yoga. If this is what you're doing, add it to your exercise database as vinyasa and the above. It will be a rough estimate but better than calories burned during…

Make a really big bake or stew on your day off and as soon as it's cooled, pot it into tupperware in correct portion sizes. Stick the first few in the fridge and any after that in the freezer so they don't go off. You can stuff them full of protein and veg and anything you want. about.com have a really good recipe analyzer…

I'm assuming IBD is the same as IBS. If so, I'm in the same boat. I don't take anything for it really but my Dr proscribed me Kolanticon Gel (I think that's how it's pronounced). It helps with the bloating, it's an anti-spasmatic, anti-flatulance, anti-acid all in one. Life saver some days. Only downside is that it's…

I'm going to try these this weekend though I have Mixed Summer Berries in the freezer so I'll substitute those. I bake a lot for a weekly campaign meeting so I'm always looking for something new and healthy. One question though: Are you really putting a tablespoon of baking powder?

For breakfast try this, it's so tasty and 1.5-2 servings of veg. Slice up mushrooms, cut broccoli florets small (one serving of each or 80g each) Put in fraying pan with 2-3 tablespoons of vegtable broth/stock Cook until liquid is boiled down Turn heat to low, pop in dollop of herb & garlic light cream cheese, mix until…
