A stupid thing I did.
Second week at the gym. Accidentally set the leg press to 180lbs instead of 80lbs. Did a full set of 10 reps before realising. I'm stronger than I thought!

Vegephobic - advice needed!
Hello! I'm new to MFP and to weightloss in general. I have 84lbs to lose and I've started this week tracking my calories and making sure I have a defecit every day, but I have a problem. I hate all veg. I'd go so far as to say I'm afraid of it, I can't bring myself to put it in my mouth and I scrutinise all my food…
