- I like the idea of a (mostly!) raw food diet but don't know how you get enough protein / calcium and also fruit has a lot of sugars in it. Is it a healthy and sustainable way of eating? I am assuming …
- Has anyone read the book / tried the diet? I flicked through the book in the supermarket and it sounds interesting but maybe a bit complicated. What you eat is important but what order you eat is appa…
- A work colleague just started Exante and lost 11 pounds in her first week and 7 in her second week. She is a little bit bigger than me so has quite a bit to lose but this seems like a huge loss! Not s…
- Since I have got bigger and bigger and what little confidence I had to start with has disappeared I have somehow given up on being pretty. I used to like playing about with nail colour and doing my ma…
- Today was my day to restart on MFP and (of course!) I woke up feeling far more ill than I did yesterday. Would it be a really bad thing to eat very low calories for a couple of days?
- I really do! But without going on a television show ..... :) I started off and did lose weight here and I felt better - like I could do more. Then life got tough and suddenly making time for myself wa…
- How do you make yourself realise that you are worth the effort of losing weight and getting fit? I think that, plus emotional eating, is a big problem of mine. I just don't feel like I deserve to be h…
- If I eat my typical unhealthy fare I would have no issue hitting my calorie goal at all! I have just restarted after a bit of a slip so am trying to learn as much as I can to make this into a lifestyl…
- I work out up stairs and apparently just my everyday wanderings sound like a herd of elephants so I need a DVD that will help me get fit / lose weight but that doesn't involve jumping about. I really …
- I sometimes like to drink the Options Hot White Chocolate drink and wondered if I could mix that with my protein powder. Would hot water do anything bad to the protein powder? Might taste absolutely a…
- Is there anyone whose body inspires you? Even if their body type is totally different to your own! Mine are Jillian Michaels (short like me but super tiny), Elizabeth Taylor in her youth (love the 50s…
- Lets get fit and healthy while also paying attention to beautification. Feel good on the inside and look good on the outside! Come and share your fitness, diet, and beauty tips! Operation Prettify Me …
- When do you need protein shakes? I want to get into lifting weights so wasn't sure if I needed extra protein or how much. I am generally over the amount that MFP sets me. Plus I have a lot of weight t…
- I want to learn more about different exercises to do and to also motivate myself. I don't want to get bored and give up or stop improving and pushing myself. Which would you pick / recommend? Magazine…
- I am watching series 11 of Biggest Loser - the one where there are two new trainers in addition to Bob and Jillian. In one episode it said that the Ridge contestants had all their food prepared for th…
- We are the same height - I thought she was way taller than me for some reason! How many hours a week of exercise would it take? Not just to get there but also to maintain. I don't know what dress size…
- I really want a Jillian Michaels DVD! I think she is fab plus people really seem to get results from her DVDs. My issue is that I don't have a great deal of space and have to exercise upstairs. Alread…
- I have at least 50 pounds left to lose - not really sure what my actual final goal will be as I have never been anything other than fat. Can't imagine what I will look like 50 pounds lighter! Before I…
- I was over my calories yesterday - oops! Bit of a slip up but a fab party! Am I better to just eat normally today (normal calorie level) or to eat less to account for yesterday?
- I have been wondering how accurate my view of how I look actually is! I have been looking at the success threads and (without looking at the weights) comparing myself to the pictures. The ones I think…
- Shallow I know!! I don't know how but I seem to have missed out of the clothes / hair / make up knowledge gene! I really make very little effort day to day - part due to lack of skills and part due to…
- I have been eating much healthier in the past 3 weeks and have cut right down on white carbs. I don't really like rice and pasta but I used to eat a lot of bread and crisps. Mostly I have been eating …
- I have only been on here for 3 weeks but it has changed my life! :smile: I have lost some weight but more important than that I have changed how I think about food. I make much healthier choices now -…
- Hi! I am new to all this healthy eating lifestyle rather than diet stuff. Previous times I have tried to lose weight I have used meal replacement shakes! I am logging everything I eat and drink but I …
- New to fitness and exercise really! My body shape at the moment is kind of a blob but I am aiming for an hourglass. Are there any exercises that you recommend? I don't even know if it is possible to g…
- I am new to all this fitness stuff - never really done any proper exercise at all and I am such a weakling! I have a lot of weight to lose but I want to get strong and toned not to just end up lighter…
- I knew I had picked the wrong time to try to get healthy and lose weight! This Friday is the work Christmas party - unhealthy food and lots of alcohol, the week after is the WI Christmas meal and the …
- Trying to get fit and healthy! Starting off very unfit - crazy that I have done this to myself but I am taking responsibility now. I have given myself 2 weeks to settle into eating better and eating l…
- So I was inspired by at the before and after threads here and thought I would take some photographs too. I avoid cameras where ever possible so didn't have any at my weight now - heaviest ever! Now wi…
- Would it be a good idea to wear ankle weights just wandering about during the day? I walk 20 minutes to and from work each day so thought it would burn more calories. Maybe even wear them for Zumba on…
