Recovering From Illness

While I was ill I did actually lose around 3kg which isn't too bad, but I wish I had lost it healthily rather than through being ill. I expected some might creep back on now I am eating and it is doing. My wife's friend has just seen me for the first…

Standing Time
Hello, I have just watched a BBC programme about health and well being "Trust Me I'm a Doctor" and they did this experiment with a standing office; workers had their normal sitting workstations changed into standing ones. The stats that came back at the end were very interesting, it was something like standing for an extra…

Calories Burned
I have just posted this in general but it might be useful here if you want to keep a record or set targets for a weekly burned amount of calories. I see a few challenges in here already though so I don't want to swamp the group with another.... Does anyone have a specific target for calories burned each day? I aim for 600…

Calories Burned
Does anyone have a specific target for calories burned each day? I aim for 600 minimum (as per the MFP counter) and usually manage to hit it. Sometimes I reach 800 or so. Does anyone else have targets for such?

This food is cooked at home as you know you pick at it bit by bit instaed of having your own plate. The food is supposed to be cooked with…

The Cotton Wool "diet".
I only use the word "diet" because that is what it is being called. I know it is not a diet and am actually amazed that it even gets referred to as one. Luancy would be more appropriate..... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2511255/Experts-explain-dangerous-cotton-ball-diet-really-is.html
