Abstinence or just portion control?
Hi all, just joined this group today! So, ok, I know wine isn't chocolate. Having one glass can so easily lead to another. But I love wine... as I know all of you do. Abstinence was not an option! I have managed over the last two weeks to just have one glass of wine a night, with two on my cheat day. I have even measured…

HRM advice again
Hi All, Apologies, as I know there are 8 million existing topics (which I have searched) on advice for buying an HRM. I'm looking for one with the following features: - I wear it all day so that I can track what I'm burning just by walking to work, climbing the stairs in this building, etc. So it can't look weird with my…

I have been dieting (counting calories on a different app, at about 1700/day) since Sept but have been stuck on 182-184 since early November. Late December I joined a gym, but still no…

Breakfast: mixing carbs and protein
I read through the thread on suggestions for a protein breakfast, good stuff! I love my fried eggs, but have been having a single piece of wholemeal toast with them. It just seems like I get hungry otherwise! I throw a bit of smoked salmon on there too if that's around. Question is should I drop the toast and just do the…
