Bokwa Classes
I've just had a leaflet put through my door advertising Bokwa classes in my town. I've never heard of this before and was wondering if any of you guys had tried it at all, what does it involve and what your opinions are? The leaflet states that you can burn 1000 calories a session, do you think this is correct? Any info…

After reaching and then passing my goal weight I treated myself to a haircut today, the first in 13 months! I feel so much better, I walked home afterwards with a huge grin on my face. :bigsmile:

Bra Buying Help Needed - UK Only
Good morning ladies (I presume), I have now reached my goal weight (yey!!) and thought I would treat myself to some new underwear as everything is so big on me now. I have measured my bust and am shocked to realise that I am now a 34AA :frown: I haven't a clue what high street stores will have a range that goes down to…

OUCH!!!
I've been walking further and faster the last few weeks and also started to incorporate jogging too but I've come to a halt as my ankle on my right leg is really hurting. :sad: I get a searing pain from the (inside) ankle bone up to about halfway to my calf, the ankle is now twice the size of my left one and the swelling…

Exercise Calories Minus BMR
I've read a few people mention that when entering your exercise calories you should subtract the amount of calories you would have burnt had you been doing absolutely nothing, do you all do this?? I never did (hadn't even thought about it) but when I first saw it discussed a few weeks ago I didn't really think anything of…

Easy Butternut Squash/Pumpkin Soup - 100 Cal's Per Serving
I've just finished making a butternut squash soup, as it tastes very similar to pumpkin you could use that instead of the squash. Or any other variety of squash will work as well. Here's what I used; 870g Squash, Peeled, de-seeded and roughly chopped 290g Onion, roughly chopped 15ml Light olive oil 1 x Knorr Oxo Cube…

Quorn Mince
I have never eaten or cooked with Quorn before but I bought some today as it was half price in the supermarket and I was really surprised at how much less sat'fat it has compared to minced beef. I love beef mince but very rarely cook it for myself because of the fat and calories so I am quite excited at the thought of…

Excessive Hair Loss-How To Reverse It?
Sensitive subject I know but is anyone else experiencing OTT hair loss since embarking on their diets/eating plans?

Have you ever had an ECG?
I'm going for an ECG tomorrow and I haven't a clue what to expect. Does it take long? Do you have to strip off for it? Do you just sit/stand still? Sorry for all the ??'s but I'm getting a tad anxious about it.

Can you recommend a HRM?
I have finally come to the conclusion that I should get a HRM because I don't trust the amount of calories MFP calculates I earn through exercise. I would like something that's not too complicated to use, doesn't have too many functions (I'm only really interested in cals/fat burnt, heart rate, stopwatch and anything else…

How To Accurately Calculate Calories Burnt When Walking
How do you log in the speed of your walking exercise? I can only find speeds for whole or half numbers (2mph, 2.5mph, 3mph etc) but my mobile phone often tracks me at differing speeds i.e. 3.8mph, 6.1mph etc Should I round the number down and increase my minutes or round the speed up and decrease the amount of minutes I…

Fresh & Dried Apricots
Can anyone tell me if apricots are really good for you? Is the downside of the sugar content outweighed by the nutritional benefits?

How Do You Know When It's Time To Stop?
I reached my target weight weeks back so I just keep setting myself a new, lower one each time. Even though I know that I don't actually look good now and my husband would freak out if he were to see me as I am now (we live in different countries, I haven't seen him in 9 weeks and won't see him for another 7) as last time…

Almonds
After visiting my husband and family in Turkiye a couple of months ago my mother-in-law gave me some almonds in their shells to bring back with me. I didn't have a nutcracker until today so I haven't been able to eat any yet but now my nutcracker has arrived and I really want to pile into the bag of nuts but I'm worried…

Tesco Everyday Value Range - Beware Hidden Calories!
Hi, just a heads up to any of you that regularly eat foods from the newly launched Tesco Everyday Value range. I have noticed that each item I buy from this new range is higher in calories/sugars/fats than the same item was in the old Value range.
