5ft 5 ladies!
Well, I'm 18 years old, female of course, my height is 5ft 5inch, and I'm on 1,200kcals per day. (Also I live in the UK.) So, if any of these apply to you too, (or not, I'm just happy to make friends on here for the support), I would LOVE to be friends with you, and share tips, and motivation and whatnot. Add me? Please?…

Wheatbelly...? Wheat, the UNHEALTHY wholegrain?!
Well, to be honest, this is a touchy subject for me, and I'm sure it is for quite a few others...that is, if you've even heard of wheatbelly. I hadn't before, until just a few hours ago whilst I was searching for health and weight loss videos on youtube. I came across this professor of some sort lecturing about the hidden…

Newbie to 30-day shred. Advice??
Okay, so I know that there's a lot of posts related to this particular topic, but I would just like to start this issue afresh... I have the 30-day shred on DVD, and really, I think that I need something different than the reeaally slow paced (personally) weight watchers workout DVD... And I thought, 'well, I already have…

Avocado recipes...
Okay, so I've got this avocado in my fridge that's pretty ripe, and needs to be used up soon. So, I was wondering whether anyone could recommend any snack ideas/light lunches which incorporate the avocado. I've only once tried it before, and that was in a salad, cut up...though I liked the taste, I didn't find the…

Three/four days down, struggling?
Hello everyone, how are you all coping so far with this challenge? Taken that sneaky peak at the number on the scales, or still standing firm? I'm struggling a bit to be honest, as I feel like I've gained some weight (though, between you and me, that could just be bloating. haha!) I've fallen off the wagon in terms of…

Congrats on staying under your kcals allowance?! (warning; r
-Title was meant to say at the end; (warning; rant) heh Okay, so something's been getting to me recently.. And I feel the need to get this off my chest. There are some people on here who choose to not make their diary entries viewable to others, even with their friends added on here, and I respect that decision and…

Ricecake toppings...?
Okay, so I love ricecakes! Like, really love them! ;) But...I could do with some new ideas for toppings on them. So far I've come up with honey, peanut butter, jam...and butter as toppings. (I do favour sweetness over savoury as you can probably tell! haha) So, how do you enjoy your ricecakes? Any suggestions? Thanks! :)

You CAN do this!
So, with me it's the 6th April. How are you all coping? I realise that some are really struggling more than others, but just remember that we're all in this together! If you feel lonely in all of this, are struggling, or have given in to temptation once or twice, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and carry on! Come and…

Recipe books, recommendations?
Hey, well I'm all up for cooking, and making delicious healthy foods. I'm trying to find some healthy and wholesome cook books (preferably UK friendly) that really place emphasis on vegetables and fruits etc. Generally more about raw foods I think. (Though the only meat I eat is fish.) Can anyone recommend me any good…

Eating for the sake of calorie intake?
Okay, so previously, I had an intake on here of 1,200kcals to meet, and even then I struggled to meet that (yeah, bad, I know), but after all the hype on consuming a minimum of your BMR...I thought best to increase my calorie intake to 1,400kcals as a minimum. And I admit, it's a struggle. I've recently become pescetarian…

Welcome on board! Introduce yourselves.
Hello new followers! So, April's here, and the 'No Scale April' challenge is a-foot. I realise that this isn't going to be easy for many of you out there, (myself included) but I have confidence in all of you, and our ability to accomplish such a thing. So, let's start off with sharing with each other a little bit about…

Put away those bathroom scales! -challenge
Well, I've been obsessing lately about that number on the scale. One week? No shift. Next week? Weight gained. The following week? No shift. This week? No shift. So, you know what? I'm prepared to put the scales away for April, spring clean my mind, tidy away that anxiousness that's associated with the bathroom scales. I…

UK (women): Protein powder/shakes
Hey ladies! I'm from Wales in the UK, am 18 years old, and will be starting up on strength training soon, I hope alongside my cardio. But, I've heard a lot about how great protein shakes/protein powders, and protein bars are to have at pre/post-workout. I'd like to maybe incorporate the powder into my smoothies, or have on…

My story thus far. Advice please? Opinions? Encouragement?
Well, I'm 5ft 5, 18 years old, I weigh 137lbs, and of course am a female. And I've been using mfp for just under a month. It suggested me to have a minimum intake of 1,200kcals daily to lose 1 1/2 lbs a week. Now, when I first begun this healthier approach to my diet, (no longer touching anything processed, or anything…

Sore throat natural remedies...
Well, I think I'm coming down with a cold or something. And you know what that means? A sore throat. :( Can anyone recommend some foods/drinks that can help with a sore throat. I'm not a big fan of taking medicine at the slightest of inconveniences/discomfort, only if need be. Nature's the way dudes and dudettes! ;)…

Workout snacks
Okay, so I'm aware that it's basically essential for me to have a snack prior my workout- have something full of carbs for the energy boost...and a snack afterwards for the nutritional factor to help aid recovery, like something high in protein. So far I've been having a glass of skimmed milk with a banana and a bit of…
-
Natural sugars...
Well, I'm concerned that my diet's got too much sugar incorporated in to it. I'm always over the recommended sugar intake on MFP...But the thing is, they're all 'natural' sugars from fruit mostly. I absolutely LOVE fruit (and veg of course, but more so fruit), and I do have a sweet tooth, so, I suppose I've just replaced…

Low impact exercises at the gym...
Well, I'm still rather new to going to the gym; I'm on my third week, and I tend to go 6 times a week for usually 60/70 minutes at a time. My favourite equipment to use is the elliptical trainer, the rowing machine, the cycling machine, and I suppose the treadmill also. So, I've been pretty dedicated, and although I've…
