What's YOur Go-To Low-Cal Snack?
So, what is everyone's favourite, low-cal, go-to snack when the moment strikes? Would love to get some ideas of the options out there! If i'm feeling a chocolate crave, sucking on a square or two of dark chocolate usually does the trick. Otherwise, i love low-fat vanilla yogurt with banana or strawberries, dry cream…

Festival Food
So, i'm off to a festival this weekend; i do a lot of festivals, usually three or four every year, and every year i go with the attitude of 'wahoo, freedom, let's drink all the alcohol and eat all the bacon butties i can afford!' Well, not this year. I'm doing well with my weight loss and don't want to ruin it, especially…

Take a Break: Beneficial?
So, i realize i have gotten a little bit too obssessed with weight loss recently and it's starting to get me down; i did really well and got halfway to my goal, but i've just had an awful couple of weeks with a break up, losing my flat, trouble at work, and unfortunately even though i have tried, i have failed and put on…

How Much Do You Fluctuate By?
OK ladies, we all kno that our weight fluctuates around our peroid, but by how much do you gain? Because i really can't believe what the scales are telling me considering how good i've been recently. I am due on tomorrow, so i'm hoping that has something to do with it, so put my mind at ease people, (or kick my *kitten*…

Calories vs Taste
I take my own lunch into work, which is great because not only does it help me keep exact count of the calories i'm eating, but because there are no shops in the immediate area, i know i won't be tempted to pop out for a few minutes to grab a sausage roll or something! I'm sat here at my computer, (desk job, ergh),…

Audio Workout?
Hi everyone, I go to the gym 3/4 times a week and do quite a lot of walking; however, there are times when life just takes over and time runs away from me. I live in a studio flat with my boyfriend, which means i don't have a spare room to lock myself away in and put on a fitness dvd, and i've tried putting them on without…

What Constitutes As Exercise?
So how long, or how vigorously, do you tend to be with an activity before you log it as exercise? For example, you pop to the shop in the evening for some milk. It's cold out, so you walk at a moderate pace, and there and back takes you twenty minutes, 10 each way. Would you log that as exercise and log it, or would you…

I'm Being a bit of a Spanner (30 Day Shred)
Hey guys, I'm sure this may seem like a dumbass question, but i can't find the answer anywhere! With the 30 day shred do you stick to one level, the one workout for the whole 30 days? I'm sure that's a question that's been asked before, as the title says, i can be a bit of a spanner and a bit slow to pick up on these…

Getting Out of the Starvation Mode
So, we all know that when we consume too few calories our bodies go into starvation mode and stores fat and makes it incredibly difficult to lose weight. So how do you get out of that stage, if you are unfortunate enough to get into it. Do you have to up your calorie intake, and if so, slowly or quickly? Does this mean…

Free Personal Training Program?
Hey everyone :) I go to the gym several times a week, but to be honest, i have no real idea what i'm doing, how to track my progress, specific exercises i should be doing, etc. There are personal; trainers at the gym, and i had a free session, but to be honest it was far too much too soon, and there is no way i can afford…
