Time to pick my backside up again
Another stumbling block in my journey. Suffering from a fractured ankle, but have used my time off wisely to plan my assault on the gym when I return. One more week to go until the cast is off and it's road to recovery from there. Anyways, I just wanted to see what others found the most difficult parts of their…

Looking for people currently on a cut.
Hoping to get some new friends who are also cutting at the moment. I'm aiming to strip down my body fat from it's current, which is about 18% to around 11% in time for summer. Need as much encouragement as I can get. Add me if you're in the same boat. Thanks

Youtube Vlog
So I've decided to start my own youtube vlog about my fitness journey and to help motivate others. I may not be the most animated of people but hopefully that will change the more videos I do and the more comfortable I get in front of the camera. I'd love to network with others who have their own vlogs so feel free to post…

50 Shocking Facts about Diet and Exercise
Anyone else watch this? Quite a good programme if I'm honest. Worth a watch if you missed it. http://www.channel5.com/shows/50-shocking-facts-about-diet-and-exercise/episodes/50-shocking-facts-about-diet-and-exercise Will admit though that some of the things they've mentioned it in should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Calling new friends
I have just reached my year anniversary and wouldn't have been able to do it without some of the established members and support that I've received along the way, so I'm here to offer my support to anyone else taking the plunge in 2013. Feel free to add me as a friend anyone. I've been lax with my logging lately, but about…

One year up. Progress photos inside.
So around this time last year, I realised that I was getting a bit of a belly. I decided that I would start the gym in the new year as my resolution. Although I don't normally ever stick to my New Years resolution, this was one I was determined to do, due to the fact I didn't like how I looked. I started the gym on the…

Should I be bulking or cutting? Little help please.
I've been working out for around 11 months now and have definitely seen some muscle gains during that time, but I'm now beginning to think I've stuck and I'm just starting to get podgy again. I'm 25, 5ft 10 and weigh about 182lb which has remained the same weight the entire time I've been working out. I've ordered fat…

How do you google?
Was wondering if you lovely people would be able to do me a favour. I have a placement starting in a week as a search engine optimiser and I wanted to find out how people search or at least get a little insight into what people would search. If anyone could give me some help then I would really really appreciate it. Here's…

Calling all fellow gadget geeks.
Hi all, I am looking to trade in my first gen 16gb iPad with wifi and 3g in order to buy a Nexus 7 16gb. Tell me why this is a good idea or a bad idea, besides the fact I would be losing my 3g portability. Go.

Anyone else wear contact lenses?
Just had that moment where you rub your eye slightly and your lens sort of moves out of position and starts slowly making it's way into the corner of your eyeball. Trying to creep its way around the back and it's a mad race to get to a mirror to try and fish it back out before it's too late. Love my contacts, but hate them…

Lats, back and chest not keeping up.
I've been lifting for around 6 months now and definitely seen some results. I took a photo today and I feel as if my chest and lats are lagging behind. I focus on my back and chest one day a week each, so it's not as if I neglect them. My normal chest day looks like this 3 sets of flat chest press with either dumbbells or…

How do you have your protein shake?
Do you mix yours with water or milk? Run out of milk so had to have mine with water today. Doesn't taste anywhere near as nice. :(

Todays NSV
Basically it was December 2011 and I was at a family meal wearing a new shirt that I had just got for christmas and my uncle turned to me and said that I could be the Santa at next years meal. I knew the shirt was tight on me and that just made me want to get fit and make sure I definitely wasn't the santa next year. So…

Add away!
I've been on here for 3 months now and have seen some of my contacts last onlines gradually gradually increase from days to months, so it's time to get some more motivated friends on here that will be sticking around a bit longer to help keep each other motivated. So get adding folks. My food diary is always public so you…

Into month 4.
So it's now April and that means I have officially been keeping this up for over 3 months now. Very impressed with myself for sticking to my resolution and actually doing something rather than giving it up after a week. Never really saw myself turning into a gym obsessive but I just can't seem to get enough now. How long…

Well I've been at this weight training game since the 1st of January and I'm starting to notice some results. Still got a long way to go until I'm in shape, but I'm noticing that muscle size in my arms are getting bigger. So thought I'd share some progress pics with you all. Hopefully these work. First is from about middle…

How many meals a day?
I'm wondering how many meals a day I should be eating? I'm looking to tone up and put on some muscle, but I don't want to be huge. I'm currently eating 3 meals a day along with a Protein Shake once a day aswell. I've noticed that some people say they have 6 meals a day. What is the benefit to this and would it be something…
