High Protein Meal Ideas (W/O Protein Supplements)
Hey guys, I am on the lookout for new meal ideas (snacks and all three mains!) - which are high in protein. I know what foods are high in protein - I just want ideas of what to do with these things! I have been told by my bf I am now allowed protein powder - because apparently that is 'going too far'. His words, not mine.…

Anyone from Reading?
Hi guys, I've been on this group before and I've been in a post for West Berkshire, but no one actually asking if anyone is in the Reading area. Looking for new friends near me, and anyone really! Love new motivation and will always be there to support you myself!

Exercise calories
Plenty of topics out there saying eat back your exercise calories. I have been doing this - and I have been eating around 2000+ calories to compensate (and still not always hitting target) - as I need the energy from cycling. I have done my research and I simply cannot come to a conclusion on what to do. So many mixed…

Not quite there, but I hit a milestone today (Pics)
Hi guys, Never was going to really do this, but I found some pictures from just before I started to lose weight and I took a recent photo. I've always been overweight and gone on fad diets, e.g. starving myself - rather than anything like the Cambridge or the likes. As of today, I have lost 50lbs since July/August 2012. I…

Getting tired during a workout
Basically, for the last few weeks, I've been getting half an hour into a 2 hour cardio workout and my energy is completely zapped. Between the two hour sessions, I go and stand outside, and in the UK it hasn't exactly been warm at night - but this hasn't helped to wake me up. I feel sluggish and I feel I could do a hell of…

Calling all morning exercisers for advice!
I am planning to get in some morning exercise before I start work tomorrow, for the first time. However, I am a little nervous that it's going to make me tired for the rest of the day. How do YOU cope? How does it affect you?

Yoga DVD's and confusion?
Hi guys, I've just done a search around the forums looking for the best yoga dvd fitness as someone has recommended me the DDP yoga dvd which I can only find it coming from America and this probably won't reach me until after Christmas and ideally I want it for next week. So any recommendations (for a beginner who does…

What music do YOU work out to?
What sort of things do you listen to when you're lifting, running or any other activity? Does your class instructor put on anything that is particularly motivating? I think my favourite is definitely Rihanna - Where Have You Been at the moment. My zumba instructor uses it and I'm not a big fan of Rihanna!

Zumba, MFP estimations and Zumba Calculators?
Hi guys, My friend has bought to my attention that there are 'zumba calculators'. I typed in my stats (60 min workout, 168lbs, medium-high intensity) and it said I would burn 600-680 calories in that hour!! The calculator is here at http://caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/ Using MFP, to calculate my zumba…

Protein? Can it be too much?
And when I mean 'can it be too much', I mean what I have posted in my diary for the past 2 days. I've read somewhere that the MFP recommendations are very low for protein, however I'm not too sure and seeing those minus, big red numbers makes me want to curl up. If I were to eat too much protein (from other diets…

My W/M Nurse has told me to eat 1000kcals a day?
I don't understand. I thought 1000kcals was bad. I am only on 1,450 as it is now and I don't understand why my weight management nurse will tell me to 1000kcals. She has told me to drop 'one calorific item' from each meal (she also said drop 500kcals a day), so I guess the meat from meal times, banana from breakfast and…

Just found out...
I've just been to the doctors about something completely irrelevant to what I'm about to say. I've just found out that I have a slight wheat/gluten intolerance! What are the best foods to eat to help you lose weight as well as to keep to this diet?

Need some advice
Hi there, I have been trying to lose weight since Christmas. I have been using the app on my phone, and I've lost a stone (hooray!) but for the past 6 weeks I've lost nothing. I don't understand, because I did start off eating 1200 calories a day, ensuring a wide spread of nutrients, I do not binge eat and I cut out all…
