  • Shabba! You can add me................like you say, you have got to find the motivation yourself to change how you live, eat and exercise. I've got some good buddies on there and they're a hoot too :)
  • My thighs, quite surprisingly, then my face...it was really noticable!
  • I'd say it's the refined sugars/carbs which are the part of fast food not being overly healthy. Add in the majority of the products being fried and there you go......... I personally don't see the problem with having this stuff now and again however I know my Nutritionist would crucify me for saying that! I think in the…
  • 1.) Eat clean 2.) Do varied workouts......50% weight bearing 3.) Enjoy the things you do!
  • Biceps, triceps and dips work! Dynamic squats and lunges with weights too! Do a Body Pump class, and CXWorx one too if you can :)
  • If you're keen not ruin your heathly eating then you need to keep the sugars and carbs down due to the alcohol you've had! Thing is, these are the very things you'll crave! Stick with eggs on wholemeal toast, limit this to one slice of toast......................make it a salad for lunch! Keep off the sugar, pop and…
  • Interesting! Are you doing your squats and lunges correctly (with and without weights)? Only reason why I ask is, I've had back pain from kettlebells and it was down to incorrect posture. Only other thing I can think of is, if it's not down to the above, you may have a trapped nerve?
  • Bananas are high in sugar as they are a tropical fruit. Grapes, mangoes and pineapple are too. It really depends on what your goal is, eating x amount of cals/sugar, eating clean....etc. I personally think the cleaner your diet is, the more it will benefit you but we all have our own slant on things and you need to find…
  • I tend to go over my 40g sugar allowance a day if I eat fruit. You are better eating two pieces of fruit a day (that's what I've been advised to do by my Nutritionist) opposed to eating refined sugars. With the fruit you're getting the fibre, Vit A etc and pectin etc......I'd maybe limit to two portions, make sure you get…
  • Hey, it sounds like you're ready to snap. My advice to you is to go to the doctors and talk about it. There should be a student department that deals with this too, or even go and see your course leader or personal tutor. As easy as it is for me to say, things will come full circle and they will improve. You are in charge…

  • Hello, A good thing for you to do would be to make a list of all the foods you associate with pleasure, and then another list for those which you relate to pain. The confusion starts when we link two emotions to one food. E.g. I love cheesecake, it's my favourite dessert. After you eat it, the guilt sets in when you've ate…
  • In a nutshell: BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate - How many cals you need to lie in bed all day, have your basic functions. TDEE = Total Daily Energy Expenditure - The cals you need to eat to maintain your current weight taking into consideration your daily tasks, job, exercise etc. My advice to you is to use this instead:…
  • Jesus, you've got a challenge and a half on your hands! My advice to you is right from this very second, eat clean and cut your carbs from your lunch and evening meal. Do not add salt or sugar to your meals, cut out all of the cr*p.........so no refined sugars at all like cakes, soft drinks, alcohol, crisps, chocolate,…
  • How are they creating the burn though, using MFP or a HRM? It depends on the level of fitness they have to be honest!. You could ask her about it, what she uses to create it and see what she says?
  • You will not need the same portion of pasta as couscous though. Perhaps I phrased that incorrectly! Stick with good clean eating. Unless you have an issue, as in, your body does, with carbs, then I wouldn't play around with them too much. For me personally I need to reduce them as the refined ones put me into fat storage…
  • It depends on why you want to find alternatives. Yes Couscous is lower in cals but it's a refined carbohydrate. My advice to you is to go for wholegrain versions of pasta, rice etc. Soba noodles are nice, so are udon. You can also get brown rice vermicelli noodles! If you're wantint to slash your carbs then, do…
  • Bloody hell, glad you're ok after your surgery and, welld one on the weight loss! It's all good in the hood flower :)
  • Download an app called Fitness Buddy on your (Smart) phone....it's brilliant for exercises, showing you how to do them and, breaking them down per body party! You're going to need to do weights to tone up those areas to be honest......tricep work, dips, presses and curls for your arms, lunges and squats for you legs.
  • I'm most like a footy player for Egypt..... Eldin Saad Ermmmmmmmmmmmmm lol
  • Half a pot of fresh healthy soup with a protein (fish, meat, cheese) based salad. Fresh, tasty, no crap and.....the combination of protein with carbs will keep you satiated for longer!
  • Em...check this out lol
  • Holy sh*tbags! What the hell has happened to her face? And does she have a 5 o'clock shadow?????????
  • I'm a FOX...............oh yeah!!!!!! The fox is very much a creature of the night and is, along with its dog relatives, the most gregarious of the carnivores. Their agile minds are always active, and although they never intend to harm others foxes have developed a reputation for slyness and manipulation. The female of the…
  • I've been in a similar situation however, mine has been down to stress, family illness. Don't underestimate stress, and the affect of cortisol on your body. My advice to you is, you need to think about why you want to lose weight and what your priorities are. If you want to change your weight and improve your fitness then…
  • A friend wouldn't give you *kitten* like that......get them deleted and blank them out of your life!
  • Hey! I'm seeing a Nutritionist and I was in fat storage mode for a while without realising it. Caffeine increases your appetite as it's a stimulant. I was advised to cut it out to then reintroduce it as a treat now and again. Based on that, I'd advise you to cut it down to 1 max a day if you have to have it, but if you…
  • Shabba! I'm 32 in a few months! About 3 months prior to both my 25th and 30th birthdays, it really got me! I think the thing that kicked in for me was that where I was in life, isn't where I thought I would be! Obviously, this isn't the end of the world....I just think we all have some "idea" in our head of where we see…
  • Hahahahaha I had a gain this morning then did this! I got Samoa :( Your numbers Fat Index 32bmi BMI is a measure of the body’s fat content based on a person’s height and weight National Above average You have more body fat than 85% of females aged 30-44 in your country Global Above average You have more body fat than 93%…
