Nope, but I am considering telling Transport for London that I am up the duff so I can get a "baby on board" badge and demand a seat on the tube during rush hour :devil:

Poor Bill. Don't worry, bad form will soon result in an injury and you will have the squat rack to yourself. Yours sincerely, A bulky middle aged woman lifter

I concur, vegetables do not belong in cake (and this sweeping statement includes carrots and beetroot).

Snap! another 20 year pescatarian here. Made the choice partly due to the fact that I used to go fishing and was not a big fan of meat. I lift weights, so am always trying to eat high protein levels, and I get most of it from fish and dairy.

Salmon, but then I don't eat meat or poultry. Not too worried about mercury as most salmon I eat is farmed. I literally eat salmon in some form every day whether dieting or not.

OMG ... great choice Malcolm Tucker is the new doctor

I am watching the BBC special :-)

Hi

Fear of splitting a seam in my work out bottoms mean that I wear underwear in the gym, but I go commando when road running. I work on the basis that if I have a work out clothes malfunction in the street, I can just change my running route, whereas I would hate to have to find a new gym.

West Ham fan here, been supporting them all my life and have been a season ticket holder for 16 years. Its genetic :-)

Bio oil works for me :-)

Yes!

OK, my list is not current, but here goes ... Paul Gascoigne Ian Botham Phil Taylor George Forman Phil Mickelson :devil:

I lift and run, so hoping that will keep me ahead of the pack. Happy to hang around with zumba fans, I can feed these to the zombies.

Fold When I shared a flat with my sister, who's a scruncher, we had a massive falling out about how much toilet paper we got through in a month. Toilet paper manufacuturers love scrunchers, they are good for business.

I do LBT and log it as aerobics general. MFP calculates my 45 min class as 330 calories. Re using a HRM, I take beta blockers for high blood pressure, so cannot use one.

A few weeks ago, a guy overtook me, turned around to check me out, and ran slap bang into a metal sign :laugh: My peeves are groups of people at bus stops, people who stop in front of you, groups of youths with staffies, guys who feel the need to comment on your running (normally overweight smokers), other runners checking…

I suppose when I signed up for the half marathon I plan to do later this year. Although I can run 10 miles, running still comes 2nd to lifting for me.

When I first started lifting, I felt very uncomfortable on my own in the weights room and it probably showed. One of the regulars would always offer me the use of a bench if he was using one and I was waiting. He's a nice guy who I am on chatty terms with now, and will do such random acts of kindness for anyone. Wish more…

I started with a trainer, whom I still employ once a week (he is now attempting to teach me clean & jerks). I do weights work outs 4 times a week, but I still find his help valuable as he pushes me to lift heavier and keeps my work outs fresh.

Currently I can squat 110 kg, deadlift 90 kg and incline bench press 45 kg :smile:

Sorry, but what you are currently doing is purely cardio. To maintain muscle you will need to do some sort of strength training, be it weight lifting, body weight exercises, yoga or pilates.

You are meant to eat back exercise calories if you are following MFPs recommendations, but not everyone does. If you are not confident that you actually burned what MFP says you have, then only eat back 80%. I always eat back my exercise calories. Made it very easy for me to progress into maintenance.

I have rack envy :love:

I take one day a week, but am not totally inactive on a rest day as I will walk, hit the mall or do housework. Rest days are important as you need to give your body a break to repair itself. As for doing the same exercise every day, it wont damage your progress, but variety will help.

Greek yogurt for me, whether plain or with a fruit layer. I love fruit, but I don't consider it pudding unfortunately.

Depends on the weather. In the winter running leggings and fitted tracksuit top. In the summer cycling shorts and vest top. I always make sure my vest tops are loose and long. Leggings or shorts have to be well fitting, as I hate having to hike up whatever I am wearing if it decides to drift downwards. I also cannot stand…

Strength training can be done whilst losing weight and can consist of lifting weights, body weight exercises, yoga (which you already do) and pilates. Strength training will help maintain muscle whilst you lose weight (you are unlikely to gain muscle whilst eating at a deficit) and eating at a deficit will reduce body fat,…
