Favourite Relaxation Song
Everyone has one, a song that they can just chill back and relax to. For me, it's either 'Everyting Fades To Grey' by Sonata Arctica or anything by Pietro Canini, a guy who covers Bon Jovi songs. What songs do you listen to that just help you chill out and let all the troubles fade away? *ninja edit* spelling mistake >_<

protein shake to belly fat??
Ok, so in the past two weeks, I have taken to having a protein shake after my dumbbell exercises, just to try and build a bit of muscle... It has worked as a couple of tshirts are feeling tighter around the arms. But also tighter around the stomach. Which is where my problem is, you see, my belt is a lot shorter now (2nd…

What is your motto/mantra?
Lets face it, we all have one (or two), I'm just curious as to what they are to you lovely folks. For me, I have 2 "Even the longest of journeys begin with a step" and the (fake) latin "Illegitimi Non Carborundum".... loosely meaning 'Don't let the *kitten* grind you down'

Fibromyalgia.. Help Please
Ok,I''ll be the first to admit that the title is a bit misleading as I don't have it, yet my friend does. A quick look at the NHS site defines it as: Fibromyalgia, also called fibromyalgia syndrome, is a long-term condition which causes pain all over the body.Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain and extreme tiredness.…

A cross post, but would like some support.
Where to begin.... I used to be quite the handsome chappy. Average build with some muscle definition, good teeth, great hair & the bluest eyes on a 17 year old. Then **** got real & I just got depressed. Nothing too bad like threatening my own life or anything like that, but motivation left me..... I wasn't in a happy job…

CALLING ALL MEN......
And women can participate too :-) Recently i've been reminded about films and/or songs which tend to make people emotional. I know that ladies, in general, are not ashamed to say "Oh I cried to *insert film here* so badly...." yet men are a bit more reserved. But now, I ask you. Which films or songs have made you lose some…

Minor Success Story
Ok, here's a bit of a backstory. Depression hit me quite hard in my late teen years and I wasn't expecting it. I was literally going from college, to work and then from work to the pub and pretty much feasting off takeaways and fast food. At my peak weight, I was 21 stone odd. When I first joined this site, I was the…

Looking for a bit of support for a fun-run
Can I actually commit to a 5km fun-run to raise money for 1 or 2 charities. Despite never having actually ran before? My main plan is to do the run and try and raise sponsorship for 2 charities. 1) Great North Air Ambulance: - receive no government help, relys on fundraising & volunteers to keep it flying, covers the area…

Apologies if it's been posted before...
At the doctors, they say you can safely lose 2-3lb a week. I'm wondering, is there a safe limit on the amount of inches you can lose off your waist. e.g. 1 inch a fortnight. If anyone knows, please let me know as I plan to do the "sexier by valentines" challenge, but don't want to aim too high.

Motivation is suffering a bit...
Lately I've been lacking motivation and I don't know what it is. Some days it's as though I'm looking forward to exercising, but I either get tired quickly or just can't do as many reps as I could the week before, and others it is vice-versa, where I can't be bothered to exercise, but my body is telling me I should and…

Long Time, No Gym
Hello all. To cut a long story short, I haven't been to the gym in a very long time. I managed to pluck up the courage to go with an ex, but as soon as I arrived there the first thing I heard was "Wey-hey fatty-fatty bum-bum" So I just turned around and sat in the car, waiting for her to finish her gym session. This…

New person
Well, I say new. I signed up to this a while ago and managed to lose a *bit* of weight. But managed to put it back on. Hi, I'm a student at wolverhampton uni, always been called fat as I've always been a bit "bigger" (even during my childhood years and was skinnier than most of the others...kids can be cruel) After a…
