What should my fat and water %age be?
I have some scales which tell me my fat and water %age and until recently I've not really paid attention to it. I used to be around 40% on each but I've noticed today it has changed to 35% and water is 46%. Is that a step in the right direction? This is after 2 weeks of watching what I eat and exercising every day. I've…

So disappointed in myself :(
I started off around 2 years ago at 13st 2lb and a size 16 (I'm 5ft 9). I decided enough was enough and I lost weight by using mfp and entering a mini triathlon. Through running, biking, swimming, bit of insanity and 30 day shred, plus the calorie counting, I got down to 11st 6 and size 14s were a bit loose on me. I…

"Be fit in 90 days" = low calorie burn???
So as I have completed the 30 day shred I have now decided to move on to something else and figured I’d give “Be fit in 90 days" a go after hearing good things on here about it. I’ve just completed day 1 and I have to say I’m not sure I’m impressed – the workout was ok (it’s no shred but that’s ok) but I was more bothered…

Am sooo annoyed with myself.
I am so cross with myself. I lost 2 stone starting last June to october. I did tonnes of exercise. I tracked everything on mfp, I cut down on the drinking, I stopped buying wine in the house so I couldn't be tempted but still drank when i went out so i didnt feel deprived. When I hit target I kept going as it was coming…

Insanity plus running - am I insane?
Hi All, I am thinking about starting Insanity this week but I don't want to just do that - want to maybe swim once a week and run a couple of times as I am doing a 10k in May. Has anyone done it whilst running also? Also - how does it work - the way I understand it is you do a fitness test and then follow the programmes in…

My first ever triathlon :)
On 14th April I did a Sprint Triathlon. Why? Because I always wanted to do a full triathlon but never actually got round to doing it, then a husband, a couple of house renovations and a couple of babies got in the way. Now my girls are a bit older, (4 and 2) and the discovery that there are such things as mini triathlons -…

So it seems I'm doing a mini Triathlon! Eeek!
Any tips on training? It's just a small one I am doing and I have 4 months to train for it. I'm relatively fit, I run 7 or 8 miles a week, do a Zumba class and various Jillian Michaels workouts in between. The race I am entering is only 400m swim, 20k bike ride and a 5k run, all of which I am confident I can do, obviously…

MFP has confused me
I usually use the phone app and on Tuesday I added my new weight loss (13.5lb so far) it came up with a message - something like mfp was going to adjusts goals and was I happy with that. I hit yes without really knowing what it was going to do and it appears to have changed my daily calorie goal from 1490 to 1400. I don't…

Anyone with a HRM! Esp the one from Lidl
Hi all - I bought the HRM from Lidl last week and am trying to figure out how to use it effectively. I can't find the instructions (my daughter was using it as her shopping list whilst playing shops last night and now it's gone) So - I have it reading my HR (currently 72) and there is a percentage of 38% - is that how hard…

Help me make good food choices on my weekend away
Hi all - we are going away this weekend for 2 nights, we are going to Peppa Pig world. I don't feel like eating in the theme park as I've heard the food is pretty rubbish and choices limited (Think soggy burgers and hot dogs) so we are going to take a picnic - I'm after some healthy choices that I can pick up at the…

What next after 30DS?
Hi All, I am coming to the end of level 2 in 30DS and was wondering what is next once I've complete level 3. I've heard you all talk about other dvd's but I would like to know which ones are short workouts. I like the 20 min format as it fits in with my day, (any longer than that and I would struggle to do it daily) and…

Italian food - what to order?
I'm going out for a girly night out with my friends and we are going for Italian food and no doubt a bit of wine :) what is the best thing to order? I normally go for creamy pasta but I'm sure that is calorific! What do you order?

Exercising with small children in the house
Does anyone do exercise dvd's with little ones in the room? I have a 3 and a half yr old and a nearly 2 yr old. Would you even attempt it? I am thinking the only opportunity I am going to get to do my 30 day shred today is either with the girls or at 10 o clock tonight. I thought it might be fun for us all to have a go or…
