Rant/vent -clothing annoyances
Just the other week I was complaining that I can’t really see any of my 7kg loss. I’ve had a weird weight week with a change of medication but now looks like I’m inching down again. However, I’ve now lost enough weight that my jeans feel super comfy when I put them on but I can’t take 5 steps without needing to tug them as…

Stress and the plan
Does anyone else find that as soon as they are stressed/ low on time exercise or sticking to the plan is the first thing to go out the window? On days when exercise would have to be squeezed in I find its the first thing to get bumped off my to do list 😬😬 Happy for any tips or tricks on how you make it fit into full and…

gym gear stank
Hi there, Does anyone have an excellent way to get rid of the stank from my gym gear? When it comes out of the drier it smells clean, but once I've heated it up (with body heat) I can tell which set of stuff has been worn in the gym!

fallen off the wagon
Well team, tonight I have fallen off of the wagon. Took the kids to willy wonker jr at the kids theatre and ate some of their chocolate and then after dinner reached for the crisps. I'm not 100% sure why as I have been finding it very easy to stay on track, I am tired today. I guess also today has been a hungry one…

Hi ladies and lads, I'm a new transplant to California and I'm getting close to the bottom of my barrel of protein powder. I'm usually a strawberry girl but would like to branch out a little, However, I don't want to buy a couple of pounds worth only to discover that I hate it! So basically it comes down to where can I…

feeling brilliant
So I've been back eating mostly primal since I moved at the very end of Jan. Yesterday I had a moment after the gym where my body just seemed to hum, and I felt amazing all day long :) I've not really lost any weight yet, so I need to get better at organising, rather than getting hungry and eating rubbish but its so so…

net vs total carbs
Could someone explain the difference? I thought that the fibre accounted for some and the rest left are sugars? And why it matters in terms of which to count/ pay attention to? thanks :)

a wee whine
I recently went on a trip home to new Zealand (via Dubai for two weeks). I did really well on the planes (just fasted for 8-18 hours or so), but really struggled in Dubai as was staying with friends and invited out to dinner every other night. I'm now back in London and having such a hard time getting back into it! Any one…

So happy to be back eating primal!
Two weeks ago I made the decision to go back to primal style eating and I'm so pleased that I did! Feeling so much more energetic, lost a kg or two already and my tummy has settled down and I cant hear it complaining. On another note - today I had a bite of a bit of cake made with coconut flour and almost spat it out it…

hidden sugars/soy/ E numbers ect
I'm trying out Primal. I went into Waitrose to pick up a few things and spotted some beef jerky. Excellent, I thought. Then I flipped it over to check the ingredients. Not so excellent. The second ingredient was soy products, and a whole bunch of additives. Same with some nuts I picked up and many types of 'cured meats'.…

can you over use deep heat?
I've been trying to be really good at adding some strength training to my exercise pattern, and since I am unused to it, my muscles are sore (no surprises there). However, I work a job where I need to be able to move around a lot and so having super sore legs (and arms and abs) isn't ideal and I've been using deep heat to…

my reward backfired
So I've lost 10% of my body mass and this puts me half way to being a "healthy weight". I was pretty excited and decided since it is summer and I spent so much time by/at the pool I would reward myself and get my legs waxed. Great idea I thought - no more pesky shaving and I'll feel even more confident about my smaller…

MY BIG NSV!! Tell me yours too! =D
Last night was my day to measure and I have lost SIX cm around my butt (I remeasured it 3 times because I was sure I must have stuffed it up!). The last two months when I have measured it has jumped around a bit, 2cm down one week, up a cm the next week and I was beginning to feel like I wasn't really getting anywhere!…

keeping pace when learning to run out side
Over the past few months I have been learning to run (well jog). I have a treadmill in the gym where I live and I have built up to 30-40m jog (I have even hit 5km once :smile: ). I am going away for work for about a month and half and I really don't want to lose the progress I have made with running, so I will have to…

Today my NSV became a SV =D
I recently moved country and felt now was the right time to make some good changes to my lifestyle. I have been trying to eat better, with specific focuses on eating fresh foods (including more fruit), and trying to hit targets for fiber, iron, sodium and protien. I have also been trying out jogging and have found I really…

An expensive month fitness wise
So I've really only just started my fitness journey, last month in fact (has it really only been a month?) However last week I broke my sports bra (strap snapped) and tonight as I was running I tore a large hole in my running pants. I feel that with replacing sports bras and now needing new running pants it has been an…

running rash/ irritation?
I've just started jogging in the evenings, and I have developed a rash under my arm(s) (its to a lesser degree under my left arm). I think its from where my arm rubs against my t-shirt when I jog - is there anyway to try and stop this? I really want to stick with it and am super proud of how well I am improving so I don't…

Easy to pack snacks
HI there, I am just starting to get serious about loosing weight, eating healthier and exercising more. I am having some trouble with snacks though. If I don't have a snack and can't get to a meal (today I was at a first aid course over my normal dinner time) I get so hungry that I wolf down twice what I would normally…
