  • I'll chuck in some of my favourite band, not quite the same genres as you've got but there may be some you like. They're quite upbeat so I find them decent for a workout too. The Prodigy Songs: Omen, Invaders Must Die, No Good (Start The Dance), Warrior's Dance, Diesel Power, Take Me To The Hospital, Smack My *kitten* Up
  • Eufy smart scale on Amazon. Currently on there for £26.99 after you apply the voucher.
  • I've had the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner for coming up two years. Fruit and Yoghurt for breakfast. Bowl of couscous and mixed veg for lunch 5 days of veg, potato and meat, 2 days of chilli con carne for dinner.
  • Hi, I'm on SW and on here just to track my weight as I refuse to pay to do it online at SW! I've only tracked my meals a couple of times on here as it's very time consuming when making everything from fresh pretty much but I've found my daily seems to be around the 2000-2500 calories on SW :o 500 calories of fruit. 450…
  • I used to be quite hungry regularly sticking to my targets. I ended up doing pretty much what sarabushby said, rather than cooking up what might sound the nicer meal, packing out my meals with loads of veg which don't hit the calories so much but do a great job of make you feel full. It's very rare I feel hungry now.
  • I've still not got portion control sorted and continue the weight loss etc but I think the thing with it is it's something that if you start it you don't come off it. Rather than seeing it as a diet it's more of a lifestyle change. This is probably what they want though as you're continuing to fund them! I don't find…
  • What app do you use for that? I've just been logging mine on here. I also have a fitbit. It's good for steps, heart and sleep but that's about it. Pretty useless for most other activities in my view. It gets me moving to hit my 10k steps a day target though.
  • I'm an office worker too. I couldn't get away with planking around the office though :D I'm in an open plan office I just tend to walk to the kitchen slightly further away than the close one to make my coffee and due to the my water intake I end up hitting the toilets every hour anyway! My exercise is the 7 mile cycle to…
  • The only suggestion I can really give is to break habits. I smoked for approx 10 years varying amount up to 30 a day. What I found was I was in a habit where I would have one at certain times of day to break up the day such as 10am to get out the office. The easiest way to break the habit was to find something else to…
  • Hi Tgosh. I started at 380lbs.. I didn't calorie count to lose the weight, I just had a complete change in my diet. I stopped ready meals and takeaways to start with and went for the fresh food approach for all dinners. I made the personal choice to cut out bread, milk and alcohol as well. Breakfast I have gone for 0% fat…
  • I had a week working away from home and a lazier week working from home so didn't hit it as hard as I would've liked. 30th Dec-Jan 5th - 0 miles Jan 6th-Jan 12th - 37.6 miles Jan 13th-Jan 19th - 72.3 miles Jan 20th-Jan 26th - 43.7 miles (weekend rides after a week away) Jan 27th-Jan 31st - 79.9 miles Total - 233.5 miles
  • Zwift - Cycling - Tour de Zwift - 32km in 1hr 16k steps Half an hour of knocking in a cricket bat (this counts as exercise right?!)
  • It might be only level 40s who can request them? I've had 3 or 4 approved and a few which have only appeared in ingress. If you see a post box or sign in a park or something on your walk you will be able to get it as a pokestop if there aren't any very close to it. My house went from being over 1 mile from the closest…
  • Have you got the ability to add new stops in your settings? My town has gone from central being packed with stops and not much outside to stops absolutely everywhere!
  • 40mins walking 30mins 10k on zwift cycling 20mins preacher curls and bench press
  • Feel free to add me. 34yr old from Kent, UK. Starting weight in June 2018: 27st1lb Weight in Jun 2019: 13st 12lb I was back up to 18st by Dec 2019 after some poor decisions. 2 weeks in to the weight loss and fitness regime and I'm down to 17st 5lb. The aim is to get down to close to 14st or to where I feel I look and feel…
  • Compression clothing for me! I'm doing some weights now in the hope it eventually tightens up a little bit but I'm not holding out too much hope.
  • Enjoy what you eat. Most people who fail seem to be sticking to a strict diet and forcing themselves to eat something they wouldn't want to. I've lost over 180lb and rather than going on some cabbage soup diet or something I've just stopped eating the junk food and changed it for fresh food. I never make anything fancy as…
  • Hi, I started my weight loss journey at a similar weight, just a bit less at approx 174kg. I would suggest not worrying about the exercise at the moment, concentrate on your diet. I stuck to the UK Slimming World plan which is pretty much eating as much fresh stuff as possible and nothing premade from shops such as jars of…
  • My lunch every day can be bought from aldi... One packet of dried couscous (add 160ml of boiling water) One large pepper One onion One tin of sweetcorn Optional couple of spoons of lazy chilli. I just dice up the pepper and onion and add to the couscous and drained sweetcorn. I used to add half a packet of precooked…
  • Ainsley Harriett Spice Sensation Couscous. I've had it pretty much every day for lunch for 18 months!

  • I'm in for 2020. My major downfall in my weight loss journey has been alcohol. 2 years ago I was drinking 4-6 nights a week on a heavy scale and the weight piled on until I hit 27 stone (172kg). I cut down on the drinking to a couple of nights but with the booze also came the junk food whilst drinking and often the day…
  • My second day giving weights a go, I'm still not sure what I'm doing really but I was told to try and progress like this and alternate the two. I couldn't go any heavier without a spotter, this was risky enough with my strength levels! Bench Press 2x10 20kg Preacher Curl 2x10 20kg Bench Press 2x10 25kg Preacher Curl 2x10…
  • I love a bit of Zwift. I've not been on it for almost a month now since I changed my garage around and put a hole in my TV but looking to getting back on it in the next few weeks. Do you do the training sessions or ride alone or join group rides/races?
  • Home made chilli con carne with rice.
  • I've not done or looked up weight watchers but Slimming World is effectively you have 15 points a day you can use on food with a huge database of foods and their point value. Fruit, veg, potato, rice etc all free as long as not fried, blended etc.
