Morning v evening workouts
With effect from January I am going to have to get back on the wagon, as I am absolutely ashamed of myself, and am blaming the wagon-falling-off on being so unhappy at work. But that isn't going to change anytime soon, so I need to get myself out of this rut. So I currently swim in a morning before work, but once we hit…

Is this too much breakfast?
I have 50g oats in my porridge, along with two dessert spoons of wheatgerm, and make it with 1 pint of skimmed milk (simply because I cannot stand thick porridge!!). It's a massive portion though, is this too much? To be fair it fills me up right though until (and past!) lunch.

Detox!
Bit of help please..... After a month of not really being careful about food (still exercising) I am starting a six week detox on Monday. What are basic detox rules? Nothing fancy because I know me, and I won't do it, but some basic stuff I can do to clear out my system and make myself feel better. Help much appreciated!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/health/health/3706115/My-love-of-water-is-an-addiction.html Obviously nine litres of water is too much - but limit yourself to 1.2 litres?

Motivation - one good reason
I am just resuming my plan after a short break (one week ill and then one week holiday). As you will all be familiar with, once you have stopped it is so hard to get going again..... So, I want everyone to reply with one reason why we are doing this - one reason to motivate people. Or, if you prefer, one reason why…

Suitable snacks
I am now almost at my goal weight, and the date by which I wanted to get there. From July I will be moving onto eating back exercise calories etc (it has worked for me not doing) and maintaining the weight I finally get to in the next couple of weeks. My question therefore, is what are good snacks for me to have during the…

A muse...
I changed my lunch hour from 12:00 - 13:00 to 13:00 - 14:00. The reason being that everyone else goes at 12:00 so no one is left in the office to 'hold the fort', but also it works for me because I don't eat until quite late on an evening, after having been to the gym. I am now down to my last six pounds to lose, with a…

I fell off the wagon
So since Easter I have struggled - I had a fantastic six weeks over Lent and then was off work for eleven days and have only just returned, and have a weekend away planned this weekend. So I have seriously fallen off the wagon. While I have been exercising, I have not been watching my diet. I therefore plan to restart this…

Joint help
Not what the title might suggest!! Does anyone take any joint supplements? I was thinking maybe this is something I should consider taking, as I don't want to have bad knees when I am older. My mum suffers with hers a bit and I want to try and prevent it if I can.

Running help please!
Afternoon, I have started running again, and remember now why I love it so much.... BUT, I am suffering with stitches. It's really putting a downer on it, and I don't enjoy running as much as I should do. Can anyone tell me what I can do to stop this happening, or has anyone got any tips that have helped them in the past?…

Help!
I am looking for a bit of motivation more than anything else.. I have been feeling really down for the past couple of weeks, and as a result I don't want to do anything. I haven't been comfort eating, but I have been lazy. I am stuck in a really hard place - I want to go to the gym, but I also just want to do nothing too.…
