Thanks for the tips everyone. Will try to get my hands on some beef jerky or would biltong work too? My husband always brings loads back

Thank you! Will definitely be doing lots of this!

Brilliant thanks will definitely pick some up!

It's in the UK, big event for charity. The 100 miles should be completed in 36 hours, at the moment we try to stick to a 15/16 minute mile on flats, run down hills, which gives us time to struggle up the hills. Figure if we can go fast where we can at the beginning, we'll have extra time to stop for food etc and obviously…

It's hard isn't it. Spending hours hiking makes me so hungry and I just want to eat everything in sight. Usually bread. Lots and lots of bread

Will definitely help. I'm currently training for a 166.4km non stop hike in 36 hours. It's difficult to train with 2 young children so if I'm unable to go out and train (if my husband is away and no childcare) then I put on my weighted backpack and do a fast walk on an incline for about half an hour and after do some…

Just take each day as it comes. I had baby number two 5 weeks ago. Before I got pregnant I was going to the gym 4 times a week, into my fitness and healthy eating. The tiredness you feel in the first trimester is like nothing you've ever felt. I literally didn't have it in me to carry on exercising like I was. Plus with…

I too think you need to eat a little more. You can even up your cardio intensity. My fiance is a Royal Marine and finds it very hard to gain (which he's trying to do at the moment). Yes he works out a LOT but he eats like a horse and still loses! The only time he gains is when he's home on holiday and does no phys and…

My fiance is in the Royal Marines and sure as hell doesn't eat like that! If he needs to lose 10lb quick he does about 5 hours of hardcore working out while still eating about 4000 cals a day!!! He lost about 8lbs in a week by going on crazy runs with weight and going mental in the gym! I think this is just another fad…

I have a serious sweet tooth at the moment (good old pregnancy) so have been having frozen berries (defrosted obvs) with some fat free/low fat natural or greek yoghurt and some honey. You can use cottage cheese or quark instead of yoghurt if you want a change. I also have a banana in the evenings as they fill me up loads…

Thanks ladies. Last time I did heal relatively quickly considering, however I didn't do any exercise. I've asked my midwives and doctors about physio but the waiting lists over here are ridiculous so it's unlikely I'll get seen. I will definitely not be pushing myself because I don't want to get injured before I've even…

I went to Marbella a few weeks ago and wore a bikini for the first time in my life! 5"8.5 and was about 183lbs. There were loads of women who looked amazing, there were also loads of short wrinkly tubby ones who were even topless. If they have the confidence then why not me. Ok I'm not skinny and probably won't ever be, I…

Welcome back chick. I'm Steph, live in East London. Happy to help you on your journey. I'm full of tips :)

Could have written this post myself. I'm just taking things slow. If I end up losing 1lb a month then so be it. Yes I still have some to lose but I feel the best I've felt EVER! I haven't weiged what I do now since I was about 13 lol. I say just take things at your own pace. I'm not gaining, I'll lose bit by bit. Any loss…

Having pear cider at the moment waiting for my guy to come home (haven't seen him for 3 weeks!) he's bringing wine, we'll have a takeaway. Can't bloody wait!

Everything obvs!

The gym manager where I go suggested the apple detox. Super easy (and got rid of my sweet cravings) eat apples as much as you want for breakfast lunch and snacks, you can cook them (don't add sugar etc) and for dinner have a meal consisting mostly of green veg and lean meat or white fish. It's meant to lower your…

jeffrey dean morgan yummmmmmm I also have a thing for **** Van *kitten* and Stallone but people usually rip the piss out of me for those so I'll spare you the photos

The recipe says to use porridge oats but I'm sure it would work with ready brek too x

Hobnob's Milk Chocolate biscuits. Yes the entire packet! WIth a cup of tea with lots of milk and about 3 spoonfuls of sugar! cals - 1,440 protein - 21 fat - 72 sat fat - 35 carbs - 189 I would eat a packet usually on the weekend. When I was pregnant for breakfast I would have a massive bowl of porrige with loads of sugar.…

People always think I'm Algerian. I had one guy start talking to me in Bangladeshi once then appologise as he thought I was from Bangladesh! I'm half French half Jamaican lol.

I have fat free yoghurt. Maybe one. Maybe 2. I always have tons of fruit in the house. That way I don't feel guilty if I eat too much of it. Plus it fills you up I have chopped up fruit and natural yoghurt for breakfast most days and it is surprisingly filling (I'm used to enormous bowls of cereal) I do find the more fruit…

My daughter is 20 months and also quite needy. I just work out while she naps or once she's in bed if at home! A friend of mine wakes up early and does a workout dvd before her son gets up. Thank god I have a creche at my gym!

I love love love zumba. I wasn't sure about it the first time I did it but am loving it now. The teacher is amazing and crazy. It does help that I grew up listening to salsa etc so I have some idea what I'm doing and pick it up quite quickly, but even the nutty unco-ordinated people have a blast. i burn over 600 cals an…

I suggest doing something like 6 week 6 pack (Jillian Michaels) it really helped with my tum and I lost an inch a week. It's hard though I'm not gonna lie. My friend is a size 8, has had 3 c sections and still has an overhang. Flat tum though so it is possible. I do a lot of core and can feel my abs unfortunately they are…
