England knocked out of the world cup
Well if that grabbed you, we'll probably get on. I'm a Londoner. I'm happy to support and help out but also I quite want some laughs on my feed. Proper sarcastic Brit laughs, actually. Got about 2 stone stopping me from becoming a lingerie model, but I love a bit of sport and am working through injuries to start…

Kettlebells Class - calories burned
I've just tried a Kettlebells class for the first time and am a little shocked at how much of a workout it was! I've tried to look up the calories burned for it but am getting answers anywhere between 300 - 1200 per hour. Does anybody have an accurate idea of the calories burned? Maybe with a HRM? I've used nicolemarie04's…

Adding protein powder to Porridge oats
Evening all, Has anyone tried adding protein powder to porridge oats? Been looking at my macros and I'm consistently under 20% for protein while aiming for 40%. I can't eat too much meat so this seems like an option for winter but I imagine it dries it out a lot? Forums I've checked have conflicting advice so I may just…

Help! Should I be eating back my exercise calories???
Hi everyone, I need to ask a question. I have been on MFP for a while now but don’t get to read the forums as they don’t show on the iphone app. I’m reading a few now and keep seeing the same advice popping up about eating back your exercise calories. It never occurred to me to do this, I assumed the bigger the deficit,…

Logging Bikram Yoga / Hot Yoga
Hi guys, I'm about to do my first Bikram class in 2 years and was just wondering what to log it as? I know it's hard to get a definitive idea of calories burned in Bikram - online calculators seem to say 1000 cals per 90 minutes, people on here saying more like 400-500 per 90 minutes. If you do Bikram, what do you log it…

Bad days happen, so what? I'm ALIVE!
Today is the 3rd anniversary of the day a car mowed me down and, like a literal painful reminder, the pain in my neck and back has flared up and is unbearable. Today is also the day I realise that having principles again litigation culture has affected nobody but me. No Zumba today, no running today, I will have a drink to…

London Riots & London Town
So, the last few days have been quite hard. The riots in London have been almost on my doorstep, and I have spent the last few days having to run home asap (Zumba cancelled, Boot Camp cancelled, Gym closed early). I've then spent the nights lying awake: a) frantically watching my home town and my friends' and family's home…

Zumba - and other fitness crazes
Hi I'm fairly new to this and tentatively getting back into exercising after a couple of years (if you're interested here's why.. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/279074-new-from-london ). Anyway, food-wise I find this site fine, but exercises are sorely lacking aren't they? There are options for housework and…

New - from London
Hi all, I've been sporadically using this site for a while but been trying to actually religiously use it for a month or so now. I've got used to tracking the food so now need to start using the other bits like the fitness tab and the forums. I don't have any friends on here yet so if anyone wants to add me I'll just…
