Never so happy to try on clothes that were too tight!
Yup, thats what I said! I went into our local TJ Maxx - I had some time to kill and decided to look at some cute dresses and jeans. I must have grabbed at least 15 different things and headed into the changing rooms. It is, usually, at this point, I think 'F*%$ this' and go home. Things have been better since I left my…

Diary/ Exercise Help please - something is not working.
Any constructive advice would be appreciated. I have hit a plateau weight wise, but I am not too concerned about that as I am losing inches and losing body fat.

Help with protein supplements please!

Does strength training count towards calorie/ time goals on
Heading off to the gym right now :smile: Every time I go, I do a warm up on a cross trainer, then my weight routine (on machines and free weights) then back to the cardio room for a run. I will do weights for 45 minutes, and in between body parts Ill do some steps to keep my heart rate up. I sweat and groan through my…

Mindset NSV!
Over the last few years I have lost the same 2lbs probably 50 times! I blamed hormones, motherhood, tiredness, the zodiac - you name it! Then, slowly, I started to realise what happened. I would 'starve' myself for a few days, eating only cucumber and apples or some other insane idea, drop 2 lbs and be so proud of my…

How to handle a planned 'pig out'
So I have gradually been moving all my families eating habits to organic, home made, clean eating, plant based (although we eat meat). Now I am using myfitnesspal to help me track calories and lose some weight. I have been reading much about the importance of eating balanced meals regularly and this really makes sense to…
