What exercises get skinny legs, not muscular legs?
Since I was young, I've loved riding my bike. I used to go out on it for hours & hours a few times a week. My calves are quite big but not with fat, it's the only part of my body with proper muscle. Thing is, they're big, too big for my liking. I want thin legs, not muscular legs but I'm scared that if I keep riding my…

Low-cal alcoholic drinks?
I'm not a big drinker, in fact I probably drink about 3 times a year which is pretty good for a 20 year old! :P But I'm trying to figure out what are the lowest calorie drinks as I'm due to go out with a mate soon when she comes to visit & I don't want to blow my calorie in take but still want to have a good time. I've…

Multi-Vitamins?
I take 3 different multi-vitamins a day, all vegetarian/vegan, as my health has gone down hill since I stopped eating meat 2 years ago as I don't eat many different veggies or any fruits. I am trying to get better at that, trying different things but until then I've been told the best thing I can do is take them to top up…

Can't keep to anything.
I've been trying to lose weight for years. I first lost the weight by waling back & forth work, 1 & a half miles each way plus not eating an awful lot due to lack of breaks then too tired to eat when I got home but I was always starving & I absolutely hated it. I lost god knows how much but I went from a big size 14 to a…

DIY - How to track it?
As of tomorrow, I'm helping my mum with DIY at her place as she's selling. It'll involve stripping the walls, painting, tidying, cleaning. All of this to me is nackering because, well, I'm unhealthy. I'll be doing it for a few hours so I thought I may as well track it in my diary, but I have no idea what to put it under!…

Knee pain.
I've recently started doing the 30 Day Shred, I've just done day 3. Thing is, I'm finding it incredibly hard to keep up due to knee pain. It's getting so intense that it hurts to stand. I'm getting pain everywhere, I expected that, I just never expected it to be so bad just on my knees. I've always had issues with my…

Home made scones/jam tarts.
I'm going to my mums today to make some scones & jam tarts from scratch but I really didn't want to use butter/margarine as I'm guessing that's where most of the calories come from. I had a look at my packet of Vitalite [vegan alternative] & it is suitable for baking. Now, how would I work out the calories for these…

Exercise plan & calorie intake.
I posted this in the exercise forum an hour or two ago but it's just been moved to the second page many times. Thought I might get a response here? Basically, I'm a bit unsure if my workout plan is too much or not enough.. Or just right! Also if I should boost my calorie intake to get enough energy to do it. For starters,…

Exercise plan.
Basically, I'm a bit unsure if my workout plan is too much or not enough.. Or just right! Also if I should boost my calorie intake to get enough energy to do it. For starters, I'm 5foot11 & 157pounds. I mostly want to tone up but I do want to drop a few pounds as well. I'm going to buy the 30 Day Shred & try to do it ever…

Thinking of trying Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred
I've seen SO many people on here rave about this workout DVD & really want to give it a shot. But I'm a bit concerned on a few things.. I've never done exercise before I started going to the gym. I've only been 3 times so I'm pretty damn unhealthy. I get tired walking up the stairs. Will this be too hard for me to jump…

Knock knees.
Basically, I have knock knees. Not too bad, but bad enough that if I stand with my feet together & try to bend my knees, I can't as they go into each other.. For as long as I can remember, they've given me incredible pain whenever I do anything more than walking, even walking up the stairs hurts so now that I'm trying to…

Sodium intake.
I just put the Sodium option into my Diary & it says me daily goal is 2,500. Is that a generic setting & I'm meant to personalise it? Because that seems like a massive number! & nearly every day I've been under the 1,000 area, is this good? Sorry, just no idea how much sodium is 'good'. Thanks in advance. :)

Gaining a couple pounds every day.
Sorry for another topic! Every time I weigh myself, I seem to go up by at least a pound. I tend to wear the same thing every time though. I have no idea what's going on. I've exercised at the gym twice this week, plus walking to Uni a few times, since I first weighed myself, but to no luck. I'm eating less than what I used…

High heart rate.
Please don't slate, I'm very new to all this so just want some advice, so sorry if this sounds dumb. On the work-out machines at my gym, they tell me my heart rate. It's all extremely high. A warning comes up on the screen saying "HIGH HEART RATE", that it's in the red. I think it's in the 180-area. Is this bad or will it…

Calorie confusion.
Basics, I am 5foot11 & weigh 156 pounds. I want to reach 130 pounds by the end of May. I've set goals for myself, to eat 800 calories or less a day & exercise for 1 to 2 hours in the gym, 2-4 times a week. Are these realistic? I'm so confused with calorie consumption. Some people say to cut down if you want to lose weight…

Heyyy.
New here, thought I'd say something to introduce myself.. My name Ceri, I'm 19 & my aim is to get to 125pounds. I'm currently 158 & I'm 5foot11, I want to reach my goal by the end of May. Anyone else here have a similar goal to mine? Not met anyone my height into weight loss before so it'd be a nice change. :P
