Freezer friendly ideas
Hi, I’m about to get some renovation work done and my kitchen will be out of action for a few months. I thought I would do some batch cooking in advance so that I have healthy meals in the freezer. Does anyone have any good recipes for batch cooked things that freeze well and that are nutritionally balanced? Thanks in…

Fasting - how to get started
Hey, there seems to be loads of info on intermittent fasting, but I can't seem to find consistent basic info. I've searched the forum but still feel confused. Has anyone here had success? Which protocol are you using and what sorts of things do you eat? I can understand what the timings mean (roughly), I'm struggling to…

Weight watchers
Does anyone here combine weight watchers with MPF? I used to do WW YEARS ago, and I believe it's all changed since I was there last. I've been on here 4 years, and after losing a bunch of weight I did some nutritionist qualifications (just to entertain myself on the commute mainly), so I know what to do. But, I've gained a…

Quick work out ideas
I'm gong to the gym at lunch so can only do 30 minutes. What's the most efficient use of that time? What would you guys do? I'm trying to lose weight, I'm thinking interval running but not sure what else!

People telling you that you're fat?
After getting to a healthy weight, I had to attend a family event last week. Turns out hardly any of my family even recognised me at first (we're clearly not that close, it had been a while!). Not only am I 2 stone less than my biggest, but I've changed my hair colour and was dressed well, so I happily accepted it as a…

New challenges
Hey, I'm looking for some new fitness ideas, things to try as a one of or things I can get into more regularly, up for anything! A year ago I did nothing at all, I don't come from an active or sporty background. However, I've since: - taken up running and ran my first half marathon - I took up snowboarding and went on my…

What's your fav healthy by-product?
As well as the obvious things such as my clothes fitting better and having more energy, I've noticed how bright the whites of my eyes are these days! What kind of unexpected side effects have you all noticed?

What would you pick?
I'm meeting a workmate for lunch today and I've checked out the menu in advance. There's nothing that jumps out as being the best buy for calories, and I'm struggling to select. What would you guys pick from: Hummus: Chickpea and sesame dip served with a mixed leaf salad and toasted pitta bread Toasted bagel: Filled with…

Monday weight in
Hey, think we were going to do a seperate weigh in feed for each day, but forgive me if I'm wrong, and let me know and I'll post this elsewhere! Pretty chuffed with my result this week, half way there already! But, given the next few weeks will through lots of social challenges my way, I'll need to keep up the momentum if…

Eek, so it's 5 weeks - what's your plan??
Tough time of year to lose weight, all those christmas nights out etc. I've looked at the menus available where we're going for our works night out and I've selected in advance. This means I can work out how many cals I'm having, and how much damage I have to make up for! This will help me plan. Also, if I'm already…

Logging bootcamp
Anyone know how to log bootcamp? It's an outdoor class, we run first, then we do some boxing and things like sit ups etc, then sprints and stuff. I'm not sure whether to put it in as an aerobic class or circuits? My HRM is out of battery so I can't work it out, but it's pretty hardcore and gets me very out of breath!…

Snowboard fitness
Hey, I'm planning my first snowboard holiday in January. I've learned to board on an indoor slope, and been on snow a few times, but never more than 3 hours at a time. I'm pretty sure it's going to kill my legs, so I want to start working out now. Does anyone have any good workouts they'd suggest? Or stretches that might…

Anyone want a buddy?
Hey, I'm a 32 year old woman from Scotland with about 2 stone to lose. I'd love to have some friends who're looking for a bit of motivation and happy to give some back. Feel free to add me, we're all stronger together! :o )
