Suppliments & Powders etc
I've noticed from reading topics on here or looking at diaries that some of you use a lot of protein powders and suppliments etc. I take a multivitamin every day but what's with all these post workout powders and such. I read somewhere as well that having something like m&m's after a workout is good because it's carbs.…

Les Mills FanClub
Hi guys, I think I am ADDICTED to Les Mills classes. They're amazing. I always feel great after I've done one (or two some days!). I just wanted to know if there are any other members here that like these classes. My favourites at the moment would have to be Body Pump (I do that 3 times a week without fail). Body Jam and…

Learning to Run
Hi, I may be overly cautious, but I just don't want to do anything detrimental to my health. I really want to learn to run on the treadmills at the gym.

Protein Shakes
Hi there, I've been told by the fitness instructors at my local gym that I should eat a fair amount of protein for the exercise I am doing. However I've had lapband surgery and I find it rather hard to stomach a lot of meat in a day and there's only so many eggs I can take before I start to hate them. So I was wondering if…

Aussie girl wanting to say hi!
Hi all, My names Cassandra and I'm 22 years old and from rural New South Wales in Australia. I've been overweight my whole life and was even over 200kg (440lbs) at one stage. It's amazing to think of that. I had lap band surgery 2 years ago - and haven't really lost much weight since. I feel like a failure because of that.…
