  • I'm also a wannabe vegetarian! Or at least a serious meat minimiser :wink: I made this last night (with a few alterations - such as a whole tin of chopped tomatoes instead of fresh, and coconut milk instead of creamed, also no yeast) and it was one of the nicest curries I've ever made (and I make a lot). Thoroughly…
  • I'm also a wannabe vegetarian / clean eater as I am gradually going off meat (for a combo of not enjoying it much any more, and also ethical reasons) - looking for motivation and tips also! Although I do have a few decent veggie/vegan recipes up my sleeve already, which is a start! :)
  • This thread seems to have died a little, but I will introduce myself nonetheless in case it's due a revival! I'm currently on a search for all sorts of information relating to vegetarian/vegan diets and health, so all encouragement/info/tips are welcomed. Over the past six months I've gradually been going off meat, as I…
  • I'm currently on a search for all sorts of information relating to vegetarian/vegan diets and health, and I found a lot of this very interesting! Over the past six months I've gradually been going off meat, as I find that I'm becoming more and more aware that it's flesh, and simply not enjoying eating it. I've also found I…

  • ^ This. I'm in the same boat as you - I'm definitely eating enough, but I'm exercising a lot more and have gained/lost a fair few pounds in a short amount of time (shakes fist in the general direction of Christmas). My period has so far skipped a month, but it's happened to me before when my weight has been fluctuating…
  • Like everyone else I'm only recently back on here after multiple attempts. Feeling motivated, and signed myself up for what will be a majorly challenging event in June so that I can't back out this time around! Feel free to add me for motivation, and also vice versa as I don't want to slip up :)
  • This also, although it only works for certain skin/hair types so you'd have to check if you were amongst those - if you're interested then check out Groupon as they tend to have offers for such things every so often.
  • ^All of this. Don't do it yourself, get it done at a salon. Will hurt more at the beginning but if you persevere it's so worth it. The salon I visited shut, and after unfortunate bad experiences with a couple of other places I've taken to shaving again until I muster up the courage to try somewhere else - a stupid move…
  • I'm doing my first Tough Mudder Scotland in June 2014! Feel free to add for mutual motivation :) I'm focusing on circuit training, intervals, and some distance running - the Tough Mudder website has some great tips for training, but I found that the circuit training they suggest is very similar to most exercises across the…

  • I'm doing my first ever Tough Mudder in June of this year! If anyone else is training for this also and wants to add me for solidarity and motivation then please feel free! :) I'm focusing on doing circuit training (starting with 30DS as its circuits are pretty similar in exercises to the ones the TM website recommends)…
  • Check out the Tough Mudder website, there is loads of information there on all of the different obstacles and the general idea of the course. You can find your nearest event here: http://toughmudder.co.uk/events/
  • I'm on board - currently on Level 1 Day 7, but having an enforced day off as I'm a feeling a little flu-like and am trying to stop it before it takes hold. So in a day or two I will be back on board. For those who haven't done it before I thoroughly recommend, the results are amazing. I've take my before pics, but I will…
  • I'm doing Tough Mudder Scotland for the first time - it's mid-June and training has begun, but it is going to be a serious challenge as I have half the amount of time I really should have for such an event! But I'm up for a challenge, and doing it for charity as well as my own fitness challenge :) Biggest challenge thus…
