Fitnessblender is a site I use all the time...it's great - loads of free workouts and a lot of variety. I also find Youtube very good. All you need is a set of dumbells and away you go!!

Hi Coreen Welcome on board. I'm only back logging and exercising again over the last couple of weeks. Like you I was going great guns for a long time and then I just lost motivation. It's never too late, so press that play button girl! Feel free to add me :-)

I'm also looking for more friends to keep me motivated. Just sent you a request Patty.

You look amazing - well done!

I've only just returned to myfitnesspal too so feel free to add me. My weight crept back up in recent months & I'm determined to get back in shape. Don't feel ashamed or down...everybody has their bad days (bloody hell, I had a bad year!!! eating and drinking all round me! :ohwell: ) The only way is up from here on in &…

I know how you're feeling as I think we all have days when we feel bad about ourselves and nothing in our wardrobe looks right. Personally I think you have a fab figure...I wish I had your waist!!...I think you could wear a lovely LBD and a nice pair of heels, you'd carry it off no problem.

I only accept requests from people who have a little be of info about themselves on their profile. I don't like accepting randomers with no info as you never know who they might be!!!!

You look stunning girlie...and your last statement is so, so true. :flowerforyou:

You look fantastic...well done :)

Never heard of it...but sounds yummy!!

ah thanx for the quick replies guys...really appreciated. Looks like I'll be having salmon after all!! :smile:

Hi bailykaren - yep it's in Ireland :)

I guess nobody knows!! :ohwell: So I just guesstimated!!

Such a difference!! You look amazing, well done :smile:

I'm doing it but I wouldn't do it every day as I go to boxing class 2 nights a week and I like to go for a run on Saturdays. I think it works just as well for me doing it like this. Think I'd get bored if I had to do the same routine every day.

That is part of the problem right there. You should not be going 3 days without a bowel movement - This can leave you bloated, sluggish and feeling heavy. You might need to increase your fiber intake or maybe go to a health shop and look for something gentle (and natural) to get things moving again.

Hi guys Thanks for all the replies - I'm glad I'm not alone with this as I thought I was doing something wrong!! I used to be a demon for salt but I have cut this down a lot since starting MFP & my bloated tummy isn't as bad as it had been. I just seem to notice it more after exercise for some reason. I'll give the protein…

You look fantastic...well done :smile:

What about some baked salmon (you could do this the night before), pasta salad with olive oil, cherry tomatos, feta cheese & olives. Quiche is also always good...make it youself to keep it low fat.

what GorrillaNJ said... I really thinks pills like that can cause more harm than good...really not worth it in my opinion.

sounds good...will defo give these a try :)

I personally find banana's or bread a bit heavy on my stomach before I work out...I usually just have an apple if it's a morning work out with some water - just so I don't feel dizzy or faint.

Oh I just love that feeling!! Well done Kelz :smile: :drinker:

That is exactly why my hubby and I decided to get a little house with proper cooking facilities this time round. Not only were we looking to cut down on cost but at least if I can cook us breakfast and lunch rather than going to the bars and restaurants we're not inclined to have a lot of naughty things. Then when we do go…

You look fab!!! Well done :drinker: :smile: :flowerforyou:

I'm in the same boat...I'm off alcohol for a few weeks to try and shift the last few lbs but I'm worried that when I go on hols and start drinking again I'll pile it all back on. We're renting a house so won't have access to a gym so I'm hoping if I bring my 30 day shred DVD & do 20 mins each morning before I head out for…

Ouch!! That's a loootttt!!!! Think I might just have 1/2 that bagel for my lunch then!!

Elleinnz you look absolutely stunning!!! Well done :smile: :flowerforyou:

I'm Irish - living in Dublin. I have to say I think the Food Database is fairly balanced as I've never had any problems finding Irish and British brands. The good thing is if you do have a brand of food that's not in the dbase you can enter the info yourself and then it's there forever more :) :smile: Welcome to MFP

Defo second the protein - eggs & wholemeal toast are great or even a bowl of soup. Also make sure you're drinking lots of water as you're body will need it with all the workouts :)
