Calories consumed when you've been sick?
Sorry, I know this isn't the most pleasing thought, but unsure what to log. I had porridge about 6.30am, then a gluten free brownie and tea at 10.45am, with my lunch of a cup of soup and fruit snacks at about 12.45pm ... come 1.15pm I'd been sick and it was most definitely lunch and the brownie, but I'm unsure whether I…

Quick question about son's eating?
I have two quick questions regarding my 4year olds eating habits, if anyone can help. 1. So my son has quite a varied, healthy, diet compared to other children his age that I know. Every dinner has at least 4 different vegetables in it, as well as some protein and carbs and they are all homemade as much as possible.…

Stepchild acts like she doesn't want me around
I know this is a bit of a sensitive topic for some, but please try and stick with me. My fiance and myself have been together 16 (almost 17) months: he is 28 with a 8 year old daughter, I am 21 with a 3 year old son. My stepdaughter's mum died when she was 1, and although she has seen pictures and is in contact with her…

New Vegan!
Over the last while I have been reading more into vegetarianism and veganism, and have decided that I would like to try and live a vegan life as much as possible. I have just purchased the 801010 book and a vegan cookbook to help along my way, but does anyone have any essential items for the shopping list that make things…

Hair Growth Problems :(
I'm hoping that someone might have a bit more knowledge than me about hair and would be able to help me out a little. So in Autumn 2010 I got my hair cut from below collar bone level into the 'Franke' (this for those that can't remember - http://ucesy-sk.happyhair.sk/celebri...ord1au2410.jpg ) and I really liked it.…

Copper Coil?
So after thinking about it today I've came to realise that I don't react well to hormonal contraception. Before starting the pill I lost 40+ lbs with ease and had very good skin. I was also very happy and not overly emotional. Since starting the pill my skin has worsened (I constantly have blackheads and break out every…

Black for the wedding party?
So I'm getting married in Scotland in the Summer and was thinking about colour schemes the other day. Our venue has lovely red chairs, and I really wanted to carry that colour through into the wedding itself. However, I am one of those people who thinks that colours can become 'too much' when everything centres around it:…

Tough Mudder, where to keep stuff?
I know there has been a few threads on this before but they tend to lean more towards clothing than anything else (from reading I've gathered that clothes that dry quickly are best - not cotton - and longer trousers to protect legs, comfortable shoes, decent socks to avoid blisters as much as possible etc). I'm doing tough…

Newly Vegan, needing support and help?
So, after doing a bit of research and looking at the foods I already eat, I have decided that I would like to attempt to lead a vegan lifestyle. I don't eat a lot of meat anyway, and will only really do so if my fiance is the one cooking dinner: otherwise I'm perfectly happy with veggies/fruits/rice/potatoes and the likes.…

Losing fat and the last few lbs?
So I've just booked a holiday for 105 days from now, and I'm about 24lbs or so from my goal (depending on how my body looks). I'm trying to focus on losing this last bit of weight, but also know how important it is to tone up. I was doing insanity, but I get bored of it really quickly as I'm not a big, constant, cardio…
-
A little guidance please?
So, I have started insanity numerous times and only ever made it to about week 5 before quitting because I have found it tedious and boring - yes I can see results, but I cannot stand 40-60 minutes of cardio 6 times a week. I enjoy strength training and just now I use various kettlebells and I have a barbell which goes up…

Family Day Out and Walking?
So today my fiance and myself are taking our two kids to a different city, going around some of the sights (castle etc) and a museum. We are either getting two different trains in, or driving in: either way we will be walking around the city centre for the day (excluding when we sit for lunch/dinner. Considering this is…
