Emailed by trainer
I am a member of a fairly big gym in the UK. I recently received an email that I thought I would share with everyone. For legal reasons I will not name the gym or the trainer which sent it to me. FOOD is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills, because the FOOD that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT.…

I had previously reached my goal of 110 but now it shoots up and down between 113 and 110. it only goes back down after a complete day or twos rest from exercise.

reached goal
Today I reached my goal so I changed my settings to maintain my current weight. The thing is I am so used to eating 1200 calories that I have no idea how I am going to eat an extra 500 a day without resorting to reaching for wine and mars bars! How can I increase my daily intake with 'good' calories?

To join a gym or not.. that is the question
Previously I have been happy to use my Wii active at home but I am becomming a bit bored of it and wondering whether I should join a gym or not. Anyone on here a member of total fitness gyms?

Anyone else got this problem? edit: sorry I have just realised this post has been put in the wrong section of the…
