It's working too, but the last few times, I've been getting a pain in my arch, as soon as this happens, I tend to jump off and do something else as…

No change in fitness.
Hey guys. I used to play a hell of a lot of basketball and was pretty fit. Running for an hour and a half wasn't an issue at all. I had some troubles with my knees and used that as an excuse to be lazy basically for years. Naughty, I know. Recently, after loosing about 15 pounds, decided that my fitness levels were…

I don't usually bother with giving anything up for lent but thinking about it this year. I doubt i'd last very long but it's worth a shot. P.S. I'm not religious. What have you given up before or what are you giving up this year?

Lunch Inspiration
I feel like I've really been lacking inspiration in the lunch department. I'm bored of salads at the minute and have recently been having some ryvita with Philadelphia, ham and tomato. Sounds awful but I've been liking it. What else do you guys like to eat for lunch?

Gym Help?!
I started the gym last week although I am only able to go on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I usually use the treadmill and the cross trainer although will also use the step mill and the bikes etc. I'm sure I've read somewhere that you should mix up your exercise for muscle repair and for maximum weightless. Is it a bad…

Heart Rate Monitor Exaggerating Calories Burnt.
I went to the gym today for the first time ever and actually really enjoyed it. I used my heart rate monitor whilst I was on the treadmill, I was doing a pretty brisk walk and added some running in briefly with an incline of about 3.0. My heart rate monitor says I burnt 324 calories but this seems a bit high to me in only…

Ive read through the majority of Amazons 90 something reviews about it haha ;) Just to sum up quickly if you don't already know, its a diet which consists of fasting (only…

Hula Hoop Dancers :)
Any females, or males for that matter, out there who hula hoop dance? I've always loved a hula hooping, even since I was a kid. I have the Jessica Ennis 3kg weight hoop and as much as I love it and use it. I needed more. Plus being pretty heavy, it makes it super difficult to do transitions and lift it above my head and…

Exercise hurts me :(
Hey guys, so for as long as I can remember I've had painful knees and ankles at the smallest amount of exercise. Even a bike can hurt it sometimes.

Marvelon Pill?
I've just been to the doctors today to have my annual review regarding my contraceptive pill, my blood pressure was high :( but that's mainly because I am petrified of doctors surgeries.

putting your mind at rest.
I'm sure it's something we have all experienced. You know when, it's late, you're tired but you can't sleep and you lay in bed thinking about things. Then all of a sudden you find your mind is in overdrive and you can't get these thoughts out of your head. I have something which gets to me all the time, but its not…

New Friends, accepting, open food diaries.
I'm looking for new friends who aren't going to judge/moan at me when I eat 1200 calories, I eat 3 meals a day and I don't snack, I also don't eat back exercise calories... I like food way too much to starve myself ;)
