My Favourite NSV so far
So, after really getting into MFP for just over a month now (I joined last year but it didn't really stick), I bumped into my auntie at work today so stopped to say hi to her, had a wee chat, then she suddenly said "You've been losing weight Lorraine!" - and I was like..."Have I...can you actually notice it?" She said she…

Hi all :smile: Part of my motivation to get fit and healthy is the Cancer Research UK Race for Life 10k I'll be walking (and running here and there) on Sunday 17th June in Dundee, Scotland. It happens to be on father's day (as it was last year) which is perfect since I'm doing it for my dad who was diagnosed with chronic…

Returning to the Gym
I've decided to return to the gym starting tomorrow. I've not been since last year (from what I can remember) and was wondering how I should get things going? I heard that cycling is a good way to warm up so was thinking of starting with 10 minutes of that, then maybe 15 minutes each on the treadmill and cross-trainer. I…

Feeling Fat :(
I had one of those days today. The day started off fine, I had a healthy breakfast of porridge and a banana, then it all went downhill from there. I was at a funeral that ran through lunch (was at 1pm) and went from the service, to the cemetery then to a local pub where sandwiches, sausage rolls and cakes were being…

NSVs
Just wanted to share my latest NSVs 1 - I'm starting to feel more muscles in the back of my thighs and my arms (when I flex them in particular). They're nice tight, firm areas that I know for a fact are not fat bulges. My calves are also feeling nice and firm these days. My waist is also feeling nicely stretched from yoga…

I had honey in my porridge, a banana and fresh orange juice for breakfast this morning and am already…

Homemade Smoothie Recipe - opinions
Right, so I discovered we have a hand-held blender in the house and was thinking of making my first homemade smoothie - this is just a thought as I've never made one before and it's based on what we currently have in the house. 125g pot of Strawberry Activia Yogurt 1 medium-large banana Teaspoon of lemon juice Teaspoon of…

Muscle and Yoga Workouts
I like to do a muscle & yoga workout on wii fit plus for 17 minutes - however, I only know how many calories I burn for the whole routine (muscle and yoga) - how should I log this in my exercise diary? Until now, I've just been recording it as cardio - which it obviously isn't - and I would rather record it as strength…

Calorie Deficit Help
I've been reading lots of things online about what a calorie deficit is, but I'm not totally sure about what it is. I understand that it's the state in which we burn more calories than we consume - has this already been calculated by MFP in our consumed calorie goals and burned calorie goals so we can lose weight at the…

Looking for some fitness friends :)
Hello :) I've been on MFP for about a year now, but stopped for a while as I was so busy with uni and everything and wasn't really able to keep track of my weight etc, but, I've graduated and got some time before I start my postgrad degree so thought I'd put it to good use and have returned. I'm also looking for some new…
