I'm 41 and just back on here after a long absence. Feel free to add me anyone I need some motivation!!! I'm from the uk X

They are seriously crap...... I cant stand the things. I will do star jumps and running fast on the spot and squats and lunges and anything else all day long but burpees- I do three and thats enough. Avoid at all costs!! lol

mini pancakes. Cadburys Fingers. Jaffa Cakes. Red grapes. Jam and banana sandwiches on white bread. I guess the only way to avoid bingeing is not to buy them in the first place but sometimes you just need the freakin things.... Im still working on how to avoid the bingeing on sweet stuff, especially after the last meal of…

im 37 in a few weeks. Stop worrying. I was married and divorced by 30. Sometimes wisdom comes with age. Sometimes you dont meet the right person in your 20s. sometimes it takes longer. I read something somewhere which I always think of now...... If you are looking for the love of your life then stop. They will be there…

I started pole dancing classes four weeks ago. I absolutely love it...... it is amazing... Really good workout for your core and arms......and really fun and makes you feel a lot better about yourself.... My only problem is that i have no pole at home to practice on........ :0( I would highly recommend it and there are…

Unless you ate a surplus of 24,500 calories you know it's not fat. Exactly.... Hell I would love to try and eat that amount of surplus calories in aweek, maybe in the form of cake but I think even I would struggle with that !!! lol

it hasnt come off-in 3 days???!!! My guess is salt intake.... or if you have done a lot of exercise or started lifting then water round the muscles to help them repair-if youre a lady then hell I can put on 7 pounds easily the week before TOM.... Um my advise is stick with it and dont expect miracles to happen within a few…

I log under Cardio as strength training- I have an HRM so know exactly how many calories I burnt in each session.. hOPE THAT HELPS, Emma.

Thanks for your reply. I guess its both, the number on the scale plus I do feel like there is a little fat that wasnt there before from my holiday. I know you need to eat that amount to get the best out of your training but what about when you want to cut? Surely a calorie deficit is the only way to do this?

Sorry to butt in on here... I hope this is the right place to ask this. Im starting the programme tonight after work. The first exercise is Squats and it says pg 157- when you go to that page it just talks about squats generally then it goes on to a new heading about barbell squat and shows you how to do that. But on the…

I have been maintaining since just after Christmas.... I am going through a change of direction and adding in strngth training- I have not weighed for 3 weeks- as per my pts advice but I dont think I have gained too much weight. Please feel free to add me. I still log 6 days a week. Emma x

Greek- its the best- Fage Total 0% with lemon curd and some strawberries... Or if youre from the UK because I dont think you have it in the US yet- Chocolate Philadeplhia in one of those 30g tubs, greek yogurt (Asda's own fat free greek style is good too) with strawberries or raspberries or some chopped up banana..... omg-…

Hi thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes I did read NROL4W through but I have been doing cardio for that long now I suppose I feel like I am doing very little..... Yes 2200 seems high to me especially on non lifting days and I did question him about that but he has said he will monitor the weight and if my body reacts…

I have a Polar FT4 that has a chest strap, I got it cheap off ebay (Im from the uk) I dont know about the ones without a chest strap but mine is very accurate and I love it. I believe Polar is very popular and a lot of people on here seem to have them. Emma x

Ive only had cheat days since Ive been on maintenance-before that I tracked everything....if I went over one day I would pull it back in the week. I personally think if youre still trying to lose weight then maybe its not a good idea to have a whole cheat day. I certainly have them and look forward to them now though :0)…

Open your diary then people can give you advice. Like another poster said... I suspect youre not eating enough to fuel your body for those kind of workouts- I havent done insanity or P90X but they are pretty tough from what I can make out..... eating back your exercise calories or some of them may help if youre not doing…

Hi feel free to add me, Ive lost 70 odd pounds so hopefully might be able to give you advice. Feel free to look at my diary.....for ideas or what not..I would still try and net 1200 calories a day so your weight loss doesnt stall. Eat back some or all of your exercise calories-maybe try protein chakes if youre struggling…

Theres a BMR Calculator on this site- under the Tools Heading I believe. If you want proper advice then make your food diary public. My guess is youre not eating enough for the calories you are burning or you are building muscle. Again it depends what exercise you are doing what you are eating..... do you eat a lot of…

Can I ask the OP-Did you take your book down to the gym for them to look at or did you just take it with you and start the exercises yoruself? I just ask because Im thinking of starting, Ive read the book and found a suitable gym only last night but wanted a session with the personal trainer there to show me how to use the…

My other half has told me (after i lost 75 pounds) that he preferred me bigger but I have lost the weight for myself not him so he is going to have to accept it. I am not going to put some back on for him either (which he has asked me to do). Im in a normal BMI weight for my height. I love the way I look now except I have…

Youve had some good advice here. THE KEY IS NOT TO PANIC !!! My weight fluctuates daily. Like other posters have said weigh yourself in the morning just after yoru first toilet trip !!! I always weigh naked too hahaha The 2 pounds could be due to a number of reasons.... likely culprits are TOM, too much salt intake the day…

I gave up an extra hour in bed in the morning..... I lost 75 pounds though and look in the best shape of my life.... its a shame my other half wasnt crazy about it....

I havent been running too long but average about 9 minutes a mile run pace. I have done over 3 miles on the c25k-I think it would take me around 27 minutes. I dont consider myself fast though at all, I think this is fairly slow? I run alone so dont worry about speed...... I am doing the race for life in July-maybe…
