Rewards for hitting goals
I have about 20 lbs to lose but I'm trying to put my focus in increasing my activity levels, weight lifting, completing workouts. My ultimate goal is body recomposition rather than just the number. I've sat down and worked out some goals, both minimum activity levels for the week, and for hitting my goal workouts. They're…

Dairy Free Meals
Hi everyone So, I'm lactose intolerant and also ridiculously uninspired. I want to get some sort of menu together for the week ahead for me and my other half. Rolls and filling for lunch followed by something-flavoured chicken and rice/pasta is just dull. I've also moved house and all my recipe books are in storage. Plus…

Underwired Sports Bras?
My current sports bra is falling apart and I was looking to get a new one. I'm a 30G (the internet tells me that's a 30F in US sizings) and rowing is pretty much my only form of exercise at the moment. Looking online, there are a whole load of underwired sports bras. I guess I have some questions as I've only ever used…

Coming back from illness
In October 2013, I went to the doctor with a cough. And following an allergic reaction to an inhaler, I've had breathing difficulties and chest pain since early November. Turns out it was a chest infection, though that took an ambulance and a trip to A&E to diagnose. I've lost 3 months of gym time, and spent from Christmas…

Petite ladies at goal weight - back size for bras?
I have a question for everyone who is at goal weight, esp those who are ripped from lifting heavy. What is your back size for your bra? For background, I got fitted for bras this weekend, after having lost some weight and I'm now a 30" back and a G cup. Which is ridiculous. I seem to not be losing breast size *at all*. It…

Running - A Thank You!
To everyone who recommended going to a proper running store and fitted for trainers. To everyone who said that shin splints were likely caused by landing on my heels. To everyone that recommended C25k. To everyone that recommended weight training, especially when there's knee issues. And to everyone that has inspired me to…

People with long hair - how do you sleep at night?
What do you do with the hair? I'm trying to find a way of containing it that doesn't leave me uncomfortable and doesn't result in me lying on it during the night and pulling my head into strange positions. So far, unsuccessful and the scissors are looking mighty attractive.

Eating sufficient calories - I'm scared!
I'm new to dieting/eating healthy generally and to say I've no clue what I'm doing would be an understatement. Short version: I'm now trying to eat 40/30/30 and net at least my BMR, averaged per day over a three day period. I go to the gym generally 2 days on, 1 day off which lets me compensate for any net deficits on gym…

Hello!
I'm 24, based in London and I love rowing! I've also never dieted in my life and the past couple of months has been an incredible learning curve. From starting to realise how many calories were in some stuff to destroying my sugar levels and sitting in the corner depressed and eating chocolate to finally reaching the point…
