Lunch got eaten at 11 and I've nothing til I get home at about 4! I'll never manage a workout when my stomach thinks my…

Give me strength...
...to go to the gym!!! Its been a manic, hot, sticky, problematic, exhausting day, and I should have left half an hour ago!! But today is only day 2 of the wagon and I must. Even if I did get up early to start my bike training. I'll never get into a routine if I dont go!! Can I go and just not push too hard and be gentle…

Back on the wagon...day one
I'm posting this from my bed with a cup of sleepy tea :D After losing over 17lb (lost about 7lb before I started this) I've now gained back 12lb as i found out this morning when i got on the scales and they screamed for me to get off! Soooo back on it. But properly! Have said for the past month or two "i will…

Forever Clean 9
Has anyone tried this? I'm not convinced by the whole idea of "detox"...my liver and kidneys do that for me on a daily basis or I'd be dead. I have recently fallen off the wagon and down a cliff and gained 12lb so I was vaguely entertaining something like the Clean 9 as a bit of a weight loss kick start and a kick up the…

This would be easier...
...If I could only win the lottery!!!! Then I could not work, afford a personal trainer to shout at me, a chef to make me nice healthy meals, a cleaner to do the housework and have lots more time!!! I work full time and my work, like most peoples I imagine, is hard work. I guess that's why it is called "work" and not…

Calories Burned Lifting?
Sooooo....today I have my gym induction and will be able to start some lifting. Out of interest I entered a lat pulldown on MFP and it doesn't actually give you any calories burned. I'm sure some must be!! Bearing in mind I have no technology (cannot afford/use HRM or anything as I don't have a computer or the internet...I…

I feel like a fat dwarf...
I've lost some already, some before I joined here. But I'm in a holding pattern. Same few pounds on and off over and over!! I'm not happy with myself. My boyfriend is 6ft plus and weighs less than me, he's all lean muscle, and can carry me without a thought! He loves me as i am but when i stand next to him i feel like a…

Hen Night Help
Hi All, I'm looking for some ideas for a friends hen night. We were going to go to a Medieval Feast but tickets ran out before she could book it (busy with wedding stuff and forgot I guess) It HAS to be on the 28th of this month so not much notice. Also cannot be overnight and relatively inexpensive. Has anyone got any…

Dinner Dilema
Hiya, I am going for an indian with my work mates tomorrow evening and while I wish to enjoy my food, I don't wish to destroy my hard work. What dishes are best for those of us keeping an eye on the carlories? And what should be avoided? And, short of taking my scales with me, how should I log it? There is little chance…

My New Motivation!
As I seem to be gaining and losing the sample few lb over the last month or so I decided I needed something to motivate me more. I have started logging at weekends (which I didn't before) and... ...made a spreadsheet!!!!! Bit sad but have started it from last week and it works out average calories a week in, average…

Sugar Replacement?
Has anyone discovered anything to replace sugar that is actually any good? One of my comfort things is milky sweet tea. I've tried sweetex and splenda but both have a funny after taste. Honey doesn't work the same and is for things like lemon and ginger tea in my mind :D Anyone got any suggestions please?

Easter Apocalypse
Anyone else had a shocking Easter? Not chocolate but much wine and BBQ and partys and dinners with friends and family which were all fabulous, celebrating Easter and birthdays and togetherness. But much eating and drinking occurred and I dare not get back on those scales. Also have caught a screaming cold which arrived on…

Weight Watchers Question
A friend has just started WW pro points quick start and has a few queries, if anyone would be so kind as to answer. The quick start has meals but no weights/portion sizes...how do you know how much you're meant to eat? It also doesn't tell you the points for the quick start meals which is a problem as she's gluten…

30DS logging
I'm hoping to start 30ds today (amazon have promised me my DVD today) but I was wondering what people log this as in their exercise diary? I have a few more dancy workout DVDs n just log as dancing. Sadly I haven't a HRM, they're so expensive (unless someone knows of some reasonable reliable cheap ones), I am looking at…

Does Dinner Time Matter?
Do you think it matters what time you eat your evening meal? Some say you shouldn't eat after a certain time but sure if calories are less than calories out, you should lose? Would love to hear your views!

How to log/rate your work?
Hi, I am wondering if I am going about this in the right way? For a start, I'm a Quality Control Technician and work in a lab testing super glue. Yes. I've heard all the "sticky situation" etc jokes :D I have got my activity as sedentary at the moment and logging the walking about I do as it varies from day to day. Some…

Heart Rate Monitor
I was wondering if some could recommend one? Preferably not costing the earth!! Also, if I were to wear it for 24 hours on an average day, would this give me an idea of what I'm burning just working/sleeping/being alive etc? Am curious more than anything on the last point...am a geek...
