Any 5'6, 125 - 135lb girls out there?
Love to keep in touch with any other 5'6 ladies out there who are between 125 and 135lbs and trying to lose a small amount and/ or shape up. Everyone seems to agree weight loss is harder for those of us not technically overweight, so i'd like to know how you're doing it or plan to do it! What are your goals and why? I'm…

Asda Measure Up Shakes?
Has anyone tried the Asda "Measure Up" shakes mix? I just bought the Cafe latte flavour tub for £4 and it's seriously yummy! I expected all whey/ protein shakes things to taste bleurgh lol. My gym sells the pure whey protein powder but it's pricey at £29.99 a tub, so do you think this is a good substitute? It'll be for…

Pescetarian friendly & REALLY EASY diet plans?
Hi everyone, I need quite literally the most SIMPLE diet plan tips that anyone can possibly give me. If I have to cook for too long, have massive shopping lists, or search for uncommon foods, I just won't stick to it. I don't mind being boring and eating the same thing over and over. I am incredibly lazy, work from home so…

Did my first day of Couch to 5k :)
I did my first day today, intervals of 1 min run, 1 /12 min walk, 5 mins warm up and cool down. Managed to fall flat on my *kitten* over some brambles (note to self - pick less wild ground for next time!) and cut my leg OUCH! Felt a bit breathless after my 3rd run minute, but altogether was not at all bad. It doesn't seem…

What should my macros be set to?
For now I am set to eat 1,300 calories per day and eat some back if i exercise. I don't eat meat, and probably only eat fish once a week if that, so i'm wondering what my macros carbs, protein, sugar etc should be set to and if these are the most important things to track? I'm 130lb, and 5'6.

Anyone using Adidas MiCoach app?
I was recommended this free app by a friend and used it for the first time today on my first outdoor run. I ran 30 mins to a friend's house and 30 mins back. It logged me as having burned approx 237 cals each way and running at approx 6 mins per kilometre. Didn't run all the way, some fast walking went on in there too lol!…

Calories in thin Italian restaurant pizza?
Just had a lovely pizza, thin, 12 inch, with crayfish tails, lemon, creme fraiche, chives, and dill, and mozzarella. Cannot seem to find anything in the database or on google that would suggest how many calories it might be? I ate nearly all of it (oops). Any ideas?

Desired weight in kg = Daily Protein Amount?
I just read that the average person should base their daily protein intake on the weight in kgs they desire to be. So for e.g I am aiming for 115lbs which is 52kgs so I should be eating around 52 grams protein per day in order to lose weight. I've been shooting for way more than this, just recently finally managing to…

All in 1 supplement B vits/ food - stop grey hair etc?
Hiya, I wonder if anyone can recommend a good all in one supplement (non-gelatin coated), or preferably just foods that contain a lot of, the b vitamins especially b12, b6, and biotin? Neither of my parents went grey until well into their 50's, and yet i started at around 28 and now have loads, it's horrrid! Also, I have a…

30 day shred any good?
I've seen this mentioned a few times on mfp and elsewhere, but i just watched the video for level 1 and realized i do about twice that at the gym 4 - 6 times a week (cardio, weights, strength, swimming, classes, boxing)!!!!! But even with calorie counting and healthy eating alongside exercise, i have only seen very small…

Lost 1 inch in 2 months?
I started watching my calories and exercising more probably 2 months ago now, and have been very disappointed that i haven't seemed to lose anything. So after 3 weeks i stopped weighing and measuring myself and have just gone by how i look in the mirror. I've had up and down days, sometimes going over my cals, sometimes…

Please take a look at my diary for today and tell me how the hell i can get some more protein in? Argh, I am SO full!! I didn't get up till late so to be fair i could have gotten in some protein at breakfast. I have some cashew nuts.. will they be any good? I don't eat meat.

Easy veggie/ pescie low carb high protein meals?
I started off great, eating loads of clean whole foods, fresh fruit and veg etc, but soon got so tired of all the faff and expense and everything going off all the time, plus i still wasn't getting enough protein and haven't lost any weight. So I think maybe the best way for me to do this is just to find a few simple meals…

ugh fell off the wagon completely!
I ate an entire 140g bag of revels this evening!!:noway: I only meant to eat a handful but just couldn't stop and before i knew it they were all gone!! I think partly because i haven't had any chocolate cravings since i started focusing on my calories over a month ago, so i was due an outburst, and also it's my time of the…

Anyone heard of this?
Anyone heard of this? My gym runs a pump fx class and it's similar to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5WH8rAx8Ws (skip to about halfway). I was thinking of running on the eliptical for 45 mins then doing this hour long class. Does that sound like a decent plan, and can anybody estimate the calories burned during a…

weighing food, seriously?
I'm confused how people do this. If I am about to eat greek yoghurt the last thing i want to do is weigh it... that causes washing up and wastes the bit of yoghurt that is left in the scale when i'm finished weighing. And cheese... i tried weighing 4 small slices of cheese the other day, and then 1 slice, the scale hardly…

How do you go by weekly calories instead of daily?
Sometimes I am up on my calories, and sometimes below. I'd like to know on average what my calories per week should be and if i can measure it that way instead? I exercise 5 - 6 times per week, burning between 200 - 700 calories each time. My goal is set to 1,300 calories per day currently, in order to lose weight.

OK to work out when achey?
I am drumming for a few hours tonight, but my body really aches from my 60 min TRX session with a trainer yesterday. Mostly aches around my ribs and back of arms. Will I be ok to drum do you think? Never quite sure if i should rest when i feel achey or if it's best to do more exercise.

Protein shake substitute?
I just bought the "measure up" cafe latte flavour meal replacement shake mix tub from asda for £4. Apparently it has whey protein in it, and is 203 calories per serving, 18.1 protein, 21.6 carbs (5.2 of which sugars). Is this any good as a substitute for the expensive (£29.99) whey protein tubs i see down at my local gym?

Does this sound right to you?
Just logged my dinner and it came out at 717 calories!!! I have far less on my plate, yet it's coming up as nearly double the calories for some of the other meals i've been eating recently. Here's what I had, can you see if it sounds right to you? 1/4 medium sized onion, diced and fried in low fat vegetable oil Just over…

Starting to think weight loss is just a myth!
I eat at 1,200 calories, i eat at 3,000 calories, i exercise more, i exercise less.... i still haven't lost any weight (lost 1lb the first week which i'm assuming was water). Starting to think some people are genetically pre-dipositioned to keep weight on no matter what, barring illness/ weight loss surgery. Getting really…

Setting MFP custom goals help
Hi, I figured out my bmr is roughly 1385 and to maintain my weight i'd need to eat around 1,662 calories per day. To lose weight most people suggest between 500 - 1,000 cals per day less than that, and not to go below your bmr, or 1,200 minimum. Now the whole exercise calories thing is confusing me, but i like being able…

High cal, low fat, low faff foods?
I posted earlier on how trying to eat healthy low calorie foods is such a ball ache because of having to buy fresh food that goes off quickly, costing extra etc. Well looking over my food diary I eat a LOT of different things daily. I'm wondering if there is a way to cut down on all that food, while still getting, even…
