I spent yesterday in tears after my weigh-in :-(
Let this be a lesson to everyone on their weightloss journey. Yesterday was a bad day for me. Last year I joined MFP and managed to lose 16kg (35lbs) over 8mths which was halfway to my goal weight. I was soooo pleased with myself and got complacent and fell off the wagon a bit, but managed to maintain my new weight for…

Diclofenac/anti-inflammatory use after exercise
I have a question about the use of anti-inflammatory drugs to ease muscle pain after strenuous exercise. Is there any evidence out there that says that the use of these types of drugs slows the process of muscle building?

33kg to lose - yikes!
I just found out about this site yesterday and joined up immediately, I have so much weight to lose and I want to do it by the time I'm 40 which is 22mths away! I feel like I've wasted my youth to a certain extent, with my sedentary lifestyle and carrying around all this extra weight for the past 15yrs. I have 2 kids now…
