Too much Fibre?
Can you eat too much fibre? According to MFP I am always over my fibre intake - should this be seen as a bad thing? Surely fibre in the diet is a good thing? I'd appreciate peoples opinions on this!

Not working :(
It just isn't working - this weight loss thing! 2 years ago I did slimming world and got down to 9 1/2 st and was happy! Since then, I went on the Contraceptive Injection and in the last 18 months have piled on 2 st. So a few months ago, when clothes stopped fitting and I felt awful with myself, I began dieting again. I am…

Red Faced!!
When I exercise I get sooooo RED faced!!! Its quite embarassing! I feel as if people are staring - although I'm sure they aren't and are concentrating on what they are doing, but I'm so concious of it!! I wouldn't say it was due to being un-fit as I work out quite a lot and have been for the past 6 months at this level.…

HOWEVER..... I am not the average 'fitness instructor' material. I'm 5ft…

Making up my calories
You read so many posts / articles re: you must make sure you eat your daily calorie allowance - does this even mean at the end of the day when I have a few hundred calories left I can have that Chocolate bar and it will still be ok? I've only been using MFP properly for 2 weeks - and have actually gained 1lb. As I am in…

Cycling- numb / blue toes ?
I'm in training do a charity cycle next year. Today I've done 33 miles- nothing spectacular but my last long ride was 24. Today it wasn't particularly cold and had few more layers than usual so don't think it was due to being cold, but about 3/4 the way through the ride my toes became painful- it wasn't continuous cycling-…
