Hello!!!
I've been on MFP for a while, though actively only since Jan 2012 but have only just found Team UK, so......hello!! Is it odd that I feel quite excited about our little corner of MFP??? :smile: Vx

Aqua Aerobics....
Hey all - any idea what I can log aqua aerobics as? I don't have a waterproof HRM to be able to just add the calorie burn so I didn't know if anyone else does this as exercise and if so, what you log it as?? Thanks!! Vicki xx

Just out of interest....
How did you come up with your profile name? For me (to cut a long story short) the vicki is my name and for the squishy; think finding nemo. When at uni a few years ago me & a few friends could remember NOTHING for exams so made a joke of the whole: "You will be my friend and I will call you squishy" "Dori, that's a…

What do you like best.....???
What have you found to be the best things about getting smaller?? I have two: 1. I HAVE COLLARBONES!!!! Who would have thought it :smile: 2. That lovely full feeling you get from having a healthy yummy meal rather than that sick feeling you get from pigging out on junk food.... What are your best things?? Vx

Fresh Fruit.....good or bad!!
Hi all - I try to eat lots of fresh fruit and veg for their nutritional value but am worried about the level of sugar in them. I don't eat a huge amount (for example I have had an apple and a banana today) and its normal for me to have 2 pieces of fruit a day and 3+ of vegetables but even this is taking me well over the…

Exercising Every Day...
Hi all I just wanted some advice. I now (finally!) enjoy exercise since I found a gym and classes that I love. My question is whether it is really bad to exercise everyday?? I used to reach for food when I came home stressed or tired from work but now I grab my gym towel and head out for an hour or so. I always do…

it's the little things that count...
I was wondering....does anyone here have little fitness tips that keep you going through the day?? For example; mine are 1. when you're watching TV jump down on the floor and do sit ups through the adverts and then back on the sofa to relax when the show is back on and 2. when I go upstairs in my house I go up, then back…

Eating Back Exercise Calories...
Hi all - just looking for some advice as to what others do and what seems to work!! I've calorie counted before but this is the first time I have ever calculated exercise burn alongside it to aim for a 'true' deficit......my question is whether everyone eats back the calories burned through exercise or whether they still…

Disappointments...
I've just had a sausage sandwich as my Sunday morning brunch treat, and it was.......horrible!!! And totally not worth the almost 600 CALORIES that I allowed for it. Don't worry; am off out for an hour swim to make up for it (of course after waiting the required one hour after eating) which is why I allowed myself the…

30 Day Shred - questions!!
Questions raised by other people but never got a response.... On the basic thought that muscles need to repair and therefore you should rest those muscles between workouts: 1. Can you do this workout everyday? Or does the fact that the weights used for the Shred are light (probably either 3 or 5 lbs) make it okay to do it…

HELP!! Keeping it going while overseas...
Hi - I was wondering if anyone else is in a similar position to me and therefore had any good hints and tips. I work away from home on a regular basis; sometimes for a few days at a time but more common is to travel there and back in a single day (4am start & 11pm finish....eek!!) Its pretty much always overseas though;…

Kettlebell Conundrum....
Have just invested in a kettlebell (hard work but seems to be amazing for legs & arms!!), the bad news is that I can't find what to log it as under exercise on this site.... Does anyone else use them and if so what do you log it as?? Have tried all variations of kettlebell / weight training but nothing seems to pop…
