What are some of your hobbies?
I love music (playing and listening), animals, cooking, and gardening! Gardening is especially great because all of that digging burns the calories! Check out some of my goings-on if you like, for some inspiration! https://athomewithash.wordpress.com/

A win-win activity for weight loss!
I have had great fun in the garden for the last few days planting yummy vegetables! I didn't really realise at the time how intense this can be as an exercise though, until I got my fitbit. So this is a great win-win situation for weight loss: having fresh, healthy vegetables you grow yourself, after burning calories to…

Help with veggies please!
I am trying to eat more vegetables. I was never "forced" to eat them as I was growing up, and I have realised over the last few years that they are essential for part of a balanced diet etc. They are also good when I am trying to lose weight, as they fill me up so much! My problem is that I don't like pretty much any green…

Help Please!
I got a new HRM today, and inputted my DOB and weight etc. Went for a 3 mile run (about 30 mins). Nike+ app says I burned 308 Kcal, HRM says 418 and MFP says 310. What should I go with? Or should I average out all of the numbers? Just to clarify also, my HRM has a chest strap (not sure if this is relevant), it is not a…

Kick Monday mornings @$$!
Think positive everyone! What is one thing that will make/has made this Monday morning less unbearable for you? For me: went into college (first day back after summer) and I was told by one of the awesome staff members that I look skinny! SKINNY!!! Now, I know that this was her being exceptionally nice, but still, it made…

Weighing food - Advice please!
Sorry, but this is a bit of a rant but I need advice! This evening I wanted a bit of a treat, and I had a few calories 'to spare', so I decided to have some Doritos - BBQ flavour! Yum :D I got out my trusty food scale and started weighing them as I usually do. My brother walked into the kitchen and proceeded to mock me,…

What to drink?
I know that water is essential for healthy living, but what else can I drink? I drink green tea most day too, but I was mainly wondering if other types of herbal teas are ok, eg chamomile, jasmine, mixed berries etc. I get bored of water or plain green tea and I was just wondering what everyone's opinions are?…

Never thought I'd be upset by this...
If anyone asked me to run to the end of the street a few months ago I would have laughed at them. Since discovering c25k (thanks to the awesome people on these forums!) I have actually started to enjoy running! I start week 3 today :) Anyway, I found out this morning that the colour run is coming to my city this summer. I…

It it a bitter/sweet NSV :laugh: coz now I dont really have that much choice in what to wear to college on a day to day basis! :grumble: Oh well... Time…

I *nearly* felt like giving up...
Initially when I changed my lifestyle for the better, I could see a huge difference in my body, and I could see it on the scale. In the last few weeks, though, I haven't seen as much of a change in my body, even though the scale has been going down steadily (about 1-2 lbs per week). At the weekend, I went shopping, and…

Epic fails at eating healthier - what's yours?
Since I have started eating healthier, I have developed a liking for carrots. Still don't like green food, but I'm making progress! So anyways, I have learnt that you can cook carrots in the microwave, but I have also learnt that carrots can both burn (as in blackened and smell really bad) and explode (that was a messy one…

NSVs and Scale Victory :D
Yesterday I was finally able to wear a size medium hoodie :D it's never really fit me properly before, but now it's quite comfortable! My mum noticed that I had lost weight, which is really important to me (I know it sounds stupid)! And according to the scale I am down 1 whole stone!!! 14 pounds gone forever :D What are…

Mental NSV
I kinda fell off the wagon over the last week. I had 2 huge party's and a bit of an emotional week. By Tuesday I wasn't logging everything and I haven't exercised properly in over a week. Yesterday, I finally got back on track, and didn't wait until Monday! I am the sort of person that says "ill start again on Monday", but…

Oh God...
Last night, I went out. Decided it would be a good idea to drink. Regretting this now, as I have just calculated that I drank a days worth of calories (almost)!!!!!! I had no idea there was THAT many calories in beer and wine!
