Accidentally fell and broke myself
A couple of months ago, I realised I had gotten pretty far off track from where I wanted to be. I have been "close enough" to goal for a long time that I wasn't paying much attention, but the slow creep was happening and I realised I had gained 3kg from a couple of months earlier and not even noticed. I decided to get…

Digital scales, batteries, heart break
What a way to start a Monday. Got all my breakfast things out, diligently weighed them all, mixed them up, then got to the final ingredient and the scoop of protein powder that is alllllllways 30g came out at 20g. So clearly the scale is off, likely the batteries are dying, and my whole breakfast is a lie :'( Adjusted for…

Nasal breathing while walking? Is this a thing?
So I've just hired a personal trainer, and had done quite a bit of research to make sure I was getting someone who actually knows his stuff, and isn't just going to give me some cookie cutter program....but he has just told me something that sounds like utter nonsense, and I trust him less now, and just want to know if I'm…

Booty by Bret
Has anyone tried this program? I'm interested to try it, but only have my home gym, so wonder if it's suitable. I'm doing a lifting program by Torre Washington at the moment which has been great and I've been really enjoying it, but starting to get bored and looking for something else when I finish up in December.

Struggling to hit my protein goals
Urg. Whenever I feel like I have planned a good protein day, I find I am still nowhere near my actual protein goal when I enter it in my diary, and it's SO FRUSTRATING. I just can't hit it. My goal is 120 grams per day. The trouble is that I am really not that keen on eating meat, eggs or dairy and while it is impractical…

Am I wasting my time?
I've been really wanting to increase my strength training lately, and have been sort of waiting until my weight got down a bit so that I could eat at maintenance and be happy with my body in the mean time, but this week I've started the Body Beast workout by Beachbody (not doing any of their supplements or other stuff -…

Pre-workout question
Hi all, I do my workouts first thing in the morning, and give myself about 5-10 minutes from the time I roll out of bed until I get started, as I need to be done before my kids are up at 6ish. So not a lot of time fitting any pre workout meals in there. Usually working out in a fasted state doesn't bother me, but I've been…

Hello Fresh
Anyone do Hello Fresh? I've just signed up to these guys with a coupon for a couple of weeks (lured by not having to have think about what's for dinner after work) and just wondering if anyone has had any particularly good or bad experiences. I'll still weigh and track everything of course, but are their calorie estimates…

What do you feed your kids?
I'm just curious what other families have on the menu. My kids are horribly picky when it comes to healthy food, and while I force them to eat healthy (homemade veggie chili, stir fry, lentil and barley soups etc) a few times a week, I also cave and cook sausage and mash or pizza a few times a week as well, as I can't take…

Thai restaurant - help
I'm going out for dinner tonight, to a Thai restaurant and wondering what the healthiest choice would be. The curries are all drowning in coconut oil, which is fine in moderation, but a bit calorie rich for what I have left for the day (500 cals) so thinking some kind of veggie stir fry - ginger? Basil chili? Do you think,…
