Pain in wrists
Hello everyone, I've recently been experiencing a sharp pain in my left wrist when I do squats. Originally I thought it was my Fitbit, but I loosened it off and moved it further down away from my wrist and it still happened. It's ok while I squat because the weight is transferred to my back, but while standing upright it…

Polyols
Hello again, Sorry if I'm annoying you all with my questions. I wish they would add a search feature to the groups, it would probably save everyone a lot of time. But I like to know what I'm doing before I screw my body up. So, just had a protein bar by Grenade called Carb Killa because I had a chocolate itch which these…

Co-enzyme Q10
Hi guys, I've been seeing a lot recently about taking co-enzyme Q10 suppliments can help you get into ketosis. I just wondered what peoples opinions are on it? Are they worth it if you feel like you are struggling to get into ketosis or is it just another faddy supplement?

Overhydration
Morning everyone! Bringing this up because it was in a different thread and I'm not going to lie, I wasn't patient enough and did the dreaded google. Second from the top website came up with this information. Now, I'm not gullible enough to believe everything it says, and I'm pretty sure you would have to drink a…

Muscle Twitch
I lift on my lunch break and EVERY time the muscle on my inside right knee starts twitching like crazy after. I'm sitting at my desk at work and it is driving me crackers! First, why is it twitching and why that muscle only? Second, how the hell do I stop it? Thank you! :smile:

Weights
Hello everyone. Very brief question, when people say how much they can lift does it include the weight of the bar? or is it strictly the amount the are adding on to the bar? Cheers!

'That person' in the Gym
Hello everyone, So, I've just got back from the gym, and I've just realised I am now 'that person'. The one people avoid eye contact with. Funnily enough not really with other gym go-ers but the gym staff. I walk in, smile at the person on the desk, get no response, do my work out the whole time noticing that if I make eye…

Lifted too much
Hello, this may sound bizarre but I started at a new gym and started a lifting program (New Rules of Lifting). I have previously done Body Pump so lifting isn't new to me. But I had never used a women's Olympic bar so I didn't take this weight into consideration. I also never noticed the weights were in Kg's instead of lbs…

This Girl Can Advert highly recommend!!
Hello everyone, I've seen this ad on tv in England quite a few times and found the website. I really wanted to share them with you, I found them highly motivating and not off putting with pretty, airbrushed 'perfect' women. Have a watch and enjoy the 'jiggle' :) Lois https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCeWu1xbK24JX1H3qrpDEW_g

What does it actually feel like?
This is more of a question for people who have lost a significant amount of weight. I asked my slimmer friends the other day "What does it feel like to be slim?" They looked at me like i was mental and said "I don't know". Of course. They have always been slim and so they don't know anything different. I know we can all…

Fitbit help
My fitbit died on me yesterday so I charged it up over night last night, I've just updated it on my iPad and it says that I haven't moved all day! Not one step. I'm not sure what I've done as I've been wearing it in the same place I do everyday (on my hip).. I didn't know if anyone could shed some light as to why this has…

Lifting anxiety
Hello everyone! I've been reading a lot about how lifting weights can help speed up the weight loss, I'm not completely new to lifting, I've done Body Pump on and off for about 7 years, but the classes are so booked up and crowded I'm thinking of going alone and doing it in the gym. But I'm a bit anxious about being the…

Should I have gone to the gym?
Ok, basic background. I normally go to the gym on Monday mornings, Thursday evenings and Saturday at some point. But I chose this week to join Body Pump for a bit of variety on Monday morning. Since Tuesday morning I've been in pain. Sitting and standing up like I'm heavily pregnant and walking like C3PO. This morning I…

Herbal teas
Short sharp question. As it is just "infused water" would it count as a glass of water?

Coconut water
I keep hearing about it and was wondering what all the hype was about? I've read some stuff about it, such as it being better to take to the gym than water/sports drink, but its all conflicting and just wondering what people's opinions about it are? Merci! :happy:

Advertisements
Are those advertisements on the side of the web page p***ing anyone else off?? The pills and the "short cut to a flatter stomach" bs Is there anything that can be done about it? They are all cons and lies! Aargh!

Christmas treats
Hello! Despite requesting for nothing edible for Christmas, I still ended up with quite a bit of it. What are your tactics? Eat it in one go to get rid of it and then go mental in the gym? Or hide it and chip away at it? Lois
