More Weights, Less Cardio - Advice Please!
Hello! So, I have been going to the gym for a few months now and I like it. A couple of weeks ago I began on the weights (previously I was just doing the cardio room and light swimming.) and I really like them. I have to admit though, I do not particularly enjoy the cardio stuff, mainly because I get bored. I am going to…

My first stone. GONE!
So I started logging calories and making my change in lifestyle on the 10th of February and this weekend's weigh-in marked the first stone gone. I have found it easier than I had thought I would and have on more than one occasion discovered that deep down, maybe in my feet somewhere, I do have a little bit of willpower. I…

Alcohol
I am off out tonight and will be consuming alcohol. I haven't had any since for about a month, I am not a big drinker. Thing is, I am now counting calories and although I have planned for today to be a bit of a treat day (I know I'll go over calories!) but I still want to be as good as I can. I usually drink cider or Jack…

Linseed - some advice from those who use it, please?
So today I bought some Golden Linseed, I've read so much good about this stuff. The packet recommends to take 3 teaspoons a day followed by some water. I would rather eat it with salads or mixed with yoghurts, do I still need to drink the water with it? I drink about 3ltrs a day as it is. Also, this stuff is not milled or…

Water - Drinking more and more, some advice?
About 12 days ago I started drinking more water, 2 litres a day (just regular water, nothing else in it.) I found it hard to begin with but now, nearly a fortnight on I have found that 2 litres is just not enough and for the last few days I've been drinking nearer 4 litres, because I have felt I needed to. Is that quite…

First week weigh-in.
So, I am hoping to lose a large amount of weight, but to do this I know I need to make some dramatic lifestyle changes and also train my brain to think differently. I have set myself some achievable goals and decided to start small and to grow from that (whilst shrinking, I hope!) So after one week I have lost 5lbs. I am…

Agave Nectar
Hello! I am after some advice on Agave nectar. I have started to use it in replacement for regular granulated white sugar in hot drinks. I cannot drink tea without something a bit sweet in it. I do not like honey. So for someone who consumes maybe 4 to 5 hot drinks a day is it really better for me to use Agave nectar? From…
