sweat is making me break out.....!!!
stopping is not an option, however. I'm drinking 4pints of water per day, washing my face before and after working out, doing my skincare routine post workout at night, keeping it light in the mornings and only wearing moisturiser in the day. *sigh* idk what's making me break out but it's only since i've been working up a…

Hate for 'strong' girls....?
Gahhhhhhh..... i think i just need to vent really, so sorry if this ends up being a bit of a rambly post. since i started to lose weight (gone from over 13st down to 8st 2lbs currently) no one really took any notice or bothered to say anything. i was skinny but i still blended in to the crowd, nobody noticed me at all.…

Question about taking supplements.....?
this might be a bit of a weird question, but do you take your supplements all at the same time or do you pace them out through the day? i'm thinking of adding fish oil or vitamin E to my sea kelp and vitamin C supplements, but the size of the tablets/capsules are HUGE! :D does it matter if you take them all at once or not?…

Majorly stalled and demotivated. HELP!!
I'm currently 3lbs away from my goal of 8st (112lbs) I'm 5'2", lost over 30lbs and have a fair bit of toning up to do.

Comfort Eating....
I need a few tips and tricks to avoid comfort eating. between a moody husband who likes to make everyone as miserable as he is and kids that just plain refuse to sleep, this week has seen a monumental increase in comfort eating (not that i've been brave enough to enter it into my diary). i'm usually a pretty positive…

any experts, analyse my diary....?
my body is doing weird things! i'll try and summarise - i was doing my BMR rate of 1200 cals with no exercise for ages, all fine, easily maintainable over the winter. then i've started to exercise again when the mornings got lighter again, burning around 200 cals, to the point i was getting tired and cranky during the day…

The Zombie Run....
Tomorrow morning between 6-7am I plan on going for a run. It'll be the first one of the year, so nothing too crazy probably just a 20 minute jog round the park or something to that effect. With obligatory atmospheric slaying soundtrack to accompany me. I'll track my progress with the Adidas MiCoach app which posts to…

Can you build muscle but still not gain? (Running)
I've just started running after a break in the winter, and i'm noticing the scales creeping up again. I *know* it's because i'm building muscle but can i still lose while the muscle is building? i'm losing inches, fair enough, but i can see my goal weight slipping away from me! i'm on around 1200 cals plus whatever i get…

Weird Science (Possibly TMI)
For those of you dubious about the benefits of running outweighing the cons..... I ran for 23 minutes today, the first time since October. Today i did 4 Tyranosar sized dumps (normally a once every 2 days kind of girl when i'm not exercising regularly). if you cannot dump, you cannot lose weight. Ipso facto..... just had…
