4 month specific plan - please help!
Hello there, I sent a PM but I dont think my mail is working - I can't tell if it's received or not! My query is because I get married in December and my aim is to be in my best body possible for that day, and I know that I could do more, I just don't know what exactly. I'm very worried that I've been around the same 2kg…

Week: 12th August
Morning and welcome to a new week! I did the fit test this morning - everything improved except side obliques which I did the same number for, and had to have a couple of rests from. Form sucked though - I knew my back wasnt as straight as it ought to be. Next session it will be! Hope you're well :)

Week: 29th July
Morning all! Hope you all had a good weekend! My birthday outing with the Mister was a looovely bike ride, about 15 miles to one bit and then about 3 miles (which took about an hour and a half, it was so hard going) but it was over the Ridgeway, the oldest road in England. Loads of fun! Sounds like a great plan, and well…

Lovely :) Insanity Round 2 starts today! My fit test…

Aim for macros or calories?
Hi there, quick question please. I'm aiming for about 1900 cals a day, with a 40/30/30 breakdown, and am doing Insanity (not as well as the super fit people on the DVDs are!) Problem I have is that I often get to my carb or fat macros faaaaar before I get anywhere near 1900, assuming I've not had cake or biscuits or wine!…

Day one 29.04.13
Hello! Good timing - I'm about to start Insanity tomorrow. I borrowed it from a friend so I don't think I can claim any t-shirt or even log onto their system. Plan to do it before work, and take measurements at the same time because right now I have a full tummy from supper :) When does everyone else start in this group?

Hello folks, I am vegetarian (so i eat eggs, cheese, milk, yoghurt). My cals are set to 1760ish, and I frequently get to 1400 or so, with only about 60g of protein and no cals/carbs/fat to have anything further! I'm considering protein powder, though honestly I'd rather not. I have natural yoghurt which is low fat and…

Hi folks, I've searched the forums and websites like body building and nerdfitness, and have some good pointers, but would anyone mind helping me put together a program that uses what I have to the best effect please?
