i'm in. I sit in an office from 9.30am until 4.30pm. I use the reminder too and would get up to refill my water bottle etc. https://www.fitbit.com/user/5NHP5J

Received mine yesterday afternoon and today is first full day with it on :) https://www.fitbit.com/user/5NHP5J

1. I'm getting married in less than 9 months (to the love of my life who i've been with for 10 years) and I'm excited and petrified in equal measure 2. I suffered from severe anxiety as a child right up until I was about 16... the help I got from a counsellor inspired me to study counselling and now I'm a qualified…

i just started it on monday past, looking to lose inches more than pounds. friday is an awkward day for me to do a double session because of work so my plan is to do a double session on wednesday nights (when hubby is at P.T) then just have the 25min session on a friday night

i literally started it on Monday past! would love to join up as a motivational/support group if anyone is interested?

Couldn't agree more, I'm starting week 3 tomorrow and still struggling, in my mind I hate running so I know the battle is psychological for me but hoping the buzz kicks in soon!!

obviously water is good first thing and i read a cup of hot warm water is good to drink, i take it with lemon purely because i can't stand drinking hot water on its own. but i do feel heaps better drinking hot water and lemon than drinking regular tea, that's why i stick to it

definitely don't feel that way... please always ask questions, there will be plenty of us who will give a helpful answer (if they can) and there's always those few who have unhelpful comments to make. I'm glad you asked the question as its something I always wanted to know, and despite there being a search option... its…

I work for a charity that works with Ethnic Minorities coming to live in our area, and last year for community relations week we partnered with our local park run to encourage EM communities to take part. for Community relations day we all trundled up to a special Park run and took part... I like to think i'm active, I gym…

firstly... well done on the health improvements... and welcome to MFP! I hope you see great changes to your health through this site... I love it I used to drink practically no water. I have an office job and it was easier to get tea as that meant a walk to the kitchen to stretch my legs. I still get my walk... but its to…

From mid December 2013

Wow thank you all so much! Im so astounded by all ur kind comments... gut im hoping the rest if u will post similar piccies

Hi, I'm a new blogger and would love for you guys to subscribe, I'll do the same!! I am just blogging about general daily stuff, but will have fitness topics, recipes etc on there too! my blog is http://tashieswurld.blogspot.co.uk/

yes... i agree! and I always treat myself to a cheeseburger when Tom comes to visit because I deserve the pick-me-up! :smile:

Funnily enough I have found that since going onto my gyms diet that is set for my body type, i now can't eat too many carbs in the day or i feel bloated and get tummy pain, i was eating HUGE amounts of carbs and reduced them significantly and it was obvious that was a huge cause of my weight gain and bloating!

Good for you!!

I couldn't agree more... I hate when guys, particularly trainers, are condescending and belittle hormones that women have... its something they will NEVER understand. i get that some women don't suffer from PMS, and they're lucky... but that doesnt mean the rest of us don't. I crave the starchy carby stuff all the time,…

unfortunately we don't have them no... sucks because they sound AMAZING!!

:laugh:

thanks for this... yeah minty gum and sodas aren't a great combo so i'll defo try this! but yep I also do factor it all into my food diary and make sure i work within my budget... just would rather be eating clean! thanks :)

wow, i'm getting quite a bit of negativity... I at no point have said i constantly eat the bad stuff... I crave it... but more often than not I don't eat it!! all I'm doing here is asking for tips on things people think is better to eat to curb cravings any tips people had for things to eat... would be great!

i feel your pain!... yeah I try to keep things like oat cakes and peanut butter handy in work but never factor in home cravings so i'll have to do that, i love things like nuts, raisins and seeds so mite keep them handy for snacking... but yep when i'm PMS'in all i think about is cupcakes, soda and such like!

these are great ideas, and I will defo be doing this from now on as I sit at a desk from 9-5 also. so I've decided today to do 15-20 squats and 15-20 plie squats with heel raise each time i go to the bathroom today tomorrow i'll try something else N

FRIDAY 26TH JULY 2013 Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes... so far so good... No carbs today Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? pretty much, I did have a S'more poptart which I probably shouldnt have but reduced my evening carbs and such like to make up for it!! What did I do yesterday that I am proud of?…

Fantasic Michael - you look great I'm actually gonna look into that book you recommended, I find that I run better with a mid-fore foot strike but thought that was the wrong way to do it, so suffered out running with full foot and then getting pain for it, its the reason I dnt really enjoy running... when I actually want…

thanks so much I hope to keep track with photos!

Hey All, absolutely inspired by all these pics and stories! I started personal training about 1.5 years ago and initially we worked on building up general fitness and stamina, now we working on toning and the way through this is obviously heavy lifting, I'm not just dead-lifting but also using kettle bells, chest presses,…
