When you have a problem, go to your Sensei!
Until this week I was training in two arts - in karate I have been in the same dojo for 4 years, and this time last year I joined a second dojo to train in kobudo. My kobudo sensei (D) has a new young family and over the last few months has found it hard to join us for classes, after he couldn't make it for the 7th week in…

Warm up ideas
I think we have had a thread about this but I can't find it in the list. Tonight I was asked to lead the class warm up for the first time, unfortunately the guy I was leading with wasn't so good and kept switching between cardio and stretching. I want to put myself a plan together so that next time I am asked I can lead…

Tell me your goals
I just posted in the class check-in but I feel like this could use a thread of it's own. What are your goals for this week/month/year? Martial arts related or not, I find I stick to plans better when I've told people about them! Are you trying to lose weight, achieve a new grade or just struggling to remember the latest…

Paleo lunch box?
I have been keto for over 12 months now and up to this point I have avoided pushing my kids and hubby towards eating 'my' diet. Recently though, my older son (age 13) is showing signs of digestive discomfort (which I won't go into details apart from to say that it's unpleasant for the whole family) which I think would be…

Shutdown, restart!
I need to restart my weight loss. Most of this year has been stop-start with some good losses followed immediately by falling far from the wagon and regaining everything I've lost. I'm far from being back to my start weight but my goal weight is also slipping away again. I need to make a conscious effort to start back in…

Fat fast to restart keto?
I've been away on holiday for a week and relaxed my eating a little more than I intended (freshly baked bread for breakfast is much harder to resist when it's all laid out for you and smelling so beautiful), so I've managed to pile on a few pounds. At my first weigh-in coming back I was 10lbs up but 7lbs of that came off…

6 months progress :-)
I feel like I've been waiting forever to post this. Today is my 6 month anniversary on Keto o:) I had a mini stall the last couple of weeks but today, on my keto-versary I weighed in 1lb lighter than yesterday and 38lbs lighter than 180 days ago :smile: . I have gone from a tight size 16 (UK) to a comfortable size 12, I…

MEAT!!!!!!!
Yesterday I was a naughty girl and ate a portion of fries with my Mcdonalds quarter pounder (no bun). This morning I decided to make up for the sinning with a meativore day. I started my day with a BPC which I haven't had for ages and I am having ham and cheese for lunch. But that's not the best bit! While I was in the…

No loss this week :-(
This week is the first time in 8 weeks on this WOE that I haven't posted a weight loss. I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself even though I'm 6kg down from where I started in April. Last week I did much less exercise than usual, I also relaxed a bit when it came to logging - 3 days out of 7 I didn't log or only logged part…

Why didn't I do this sooner?
I've been lurking in this group forum for about a month now. I felt like I wanted to pop in and let everyone know how helpful all of your discussions have been :) I first lost weight with Atkins and exercise around 10 years ago after my youngest son was born, when I was at my highest non-pregnancy weight. It was an…

What's your weakness?
I'm sure I'm not the only one? After a horrible few days at work I was so tired this morning that I didn't get out of bed in time to have my coffee. So I picked myself up a latte on the way in to work, and not just a normal size latte, a super, blow-all-your-carbs-in-one-drink-sized latte. My number one weakness on Atkins…

Back on MFP
Hi I'm back on MFP after being really unsuccessful watching my weight on my own. I'm 5 foot 2 (if I stand up really straight), and 33 years old, from Manchester, UK. I joined at the beginning of the year having hit 80kg, and with the goal of my sister's wedding in April. I managed to get down to 74kg for the wedding, not…

UK Swimathon 2012
Hi Is there anyone on here planning to take part in the Swimathon this year? I'm going for the 5km again this year - this will be my fourth time :happy: . My hubby and my boys always come to watch me, it's a pretty boring couple of hours for them watching me swim endless lengths of the swimming pool, but this year they've…

Hello
I'm new to MFP, so I'm just popping in to introduce myself. I'm a 32year old married mum of 2 from the UK. I've struggled with my weight since my late teens, and was at my biggest about 5 years ago when I hit over 14 1/2 stone. I managed to lose a lot of weight then combining a strict Atkins-type diet with plenty of…
