Friends on Diet Chef
So was wondering if there were any people on Diet Chef here? Can we be friends? I'm starting up a two month run as soon as it arrives. Now if you're not on Diet Chef we can be friends too! I'm going on it because I've gotten to my mental block place. That's the weight where I'm on the line between overweight and obese. I…

Nuffield Gyms UK
This is very specific as I was wondering what people thought about the Nuffield gym chain in the UK. it's the closest gym to me that has a pool (I miss swimming so much). In general do they have a good reputation or not?

Alternatives to running (that are free)
My knees are starting to hurt. I am 37, 5ft 1, 172lbs. That means I'm roughly 50lbs overweight. I run at least 3 times a week and have a daily step target of over 16,000. There'd be no point in lowering the step target as I walk around for my job and often do that and more. My closest gym is 2miles away. I don't drive and…

Extra Protein
I go running in woods and as I'm usually breathing hard I have my mouth open. I usually swallow a lot of bugs. How do I log this lovely source of extra Protien?

Dumbest thing you've heard about nutrition and exercise recently
So we've all heard some howlers. What's the one you've heard most recently that made your brain hurt? This morning I stumbled across a thread on a different forum. Op had posted a screenshot of someone stating that smoothies are pure sugar. That the action of making a smoothie turns everything (vitamins and fibre) into…

Camping/Festivals and decent food
Let me disclaimer this with I intend on being very drunk a lot of the time. It's cold and rainy. I'm in England. I'll be less cold (but not less rainy) when I'm drunk. So despite my plans on being very drunk I would like to be a little more healthy than last year which comprised of Chinese, chips and cheese and bacon…

Lost my orignal FitBit
So I've now completely managed to lose my (original) fitbit and am looking to buy a new one. Since I am not looking to switch brands I thought I'd ask in here what people thought was the best one to go for. I had the original one very tiny and pretty much perfect. So I was looking at the the One because it's pretty much…

40/30/30 simple meal plans
I'm currently reading 'The new rules of lifting for women'. I'd like to start on a 40/30/30 diet, however I've looked at the meals and I'm now thinking that I can't do the actual plan in the book because I just don't have the time to prepare the food listed. I work 12+ hour days 6 days a week, not including travel time to…

So I had to take a break from C25K
It's been about 12 days since I last ran. I got to Week 6 Day 3 and completed it. I am 5ft 1 and I weight around 12st 8lbs (I only weigh myself once a month and it's not muscle). It's a combination of excuses and valid reasons. Long work days 12 hours+, migraines and feeling blue. It's all combined it make me feel really…

What am I doing?
Am I completely insane to think I can do this? Possibly. Am I going to do this? Yes. Hi! I'm a 36 year old obese woman who can barely run. I can walk, in fact I clock anywhere from 5000 steps (on a day off) to 25000 on a work day. I've done a little bit of this before on a treadmill and got quite far. That was back when I…

I need a new FitBit
So I have one of the really old original FitBit's. I love it but it's a little cracked from where I keep taking it on and off my clothes (plus I've trodden on it a couple of times). Those of you that use them, which one do you prefer? I don't wear a watch so I think the flex might just annoy me. However honest opinions on…

Buy it a size too small or not
So I am gearing up for festival season and I've seen a cheap but awesome jacket. Problem is it's a sale item and they only have one that's a size too small. Now one of the reasons I'm getting fit is because the festivals are beginning to actually take their toil on me. So do I buy the jacket that is a size too small? I…

Day 9 (30 Day Shred)
Forgive me I couldn't find the topic for this. Anyway! Day 9 for me has been much much better than the others. I really needed the rest day I had yesterday both mentally and physically. I am only just about able to make it through the first cardio section of level 1. I had to stop because I forgot to turn the fan on and…

Sugarpill ElektroCute
I didn't realise when they first started advertising them they were pigments rather than shadows (plus they're more expensive). Not sure if I'm going to buy them given how much work it would take to make them work! http://www.temptalia.com/sugarpill-elektrocute-neon-pigments-reviews-photos-swatches

Problems getting calories in
Now here's my issue and it's two fold. First off I'm trying out a low processed carb lifestyle. So I am basically avoiding wheat and processed sugar. I say avoiding because they're not completely banned I just don't want to eat them on a regular basis. This has caused a dramatic drop in my calories. Couple this with me…

do you eat high protien and have an open diary
So right now I'm kind of struggling getting my diet right. So I am asking people who have open diary's if they'd let me have a sneaky peak! I'm looking for those who tend to eat a high protein, low carb diet. Somewhere around the 40% protein, 30% fat & carbs ratio. I don't mind if your fats/protein intake is higher.…

In the same week 17 Cosmetics released a collection with the same texture but this time in black, red, blue and grey. Now OPI are releasing a set of James Bond…

Anyone else think the hamper timmings are wrong?
I've ordered the 4 month one and I've got at least 2 weeks of food left and my hamper will be shipped this week. I think the time between orders is not long enough. Especially if you have a day off.
