Protein Powder Cookies
I want to make chocolate cookies with protein powder, however all the recipes I can find include things I don't have. That means things like rolled oats, sugar substitutes, peanut butter, apple sauce.... Would it be bad if I just added Chocolate protein powder to a normal cookie recipe? Or should I substitute it for the…

Urban Decay's Limited Oz Palettes
So the original Wizard of Oz was a film I grew up watching. It’s one of those I can watch over and over again. I’ve just started reading the book as well. Why am I telling you this? Well Disney are doing a prequel to it. It’s the story of the Wizard’s journey to Oz. It’s called ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’. It looks…

Hi there
I've been on Diet Chef before. Lost a few pounds and tired new things. I'm back and glad to see the menu has changed and is more extensive. I'm currently just trying to lose weight before a festival that's on the 9th of June. So I'm only on it for the short term. It's nice to find a group of people doing the same thing on…

One day at 330 cals isn't gonna hurt right?
Okay so it's quarter past 11 at night here. I've eaten a rather uninspiring diet of omelette, protein shake, protein bar and mango today. That's all due to working a 13 hour today. My fitbit has just sent an adjustment of -897 cals for exercise. That leaves me at 330 net today. I'm not hungry. One day at this low of…

Anyone else started this week?
I did my first real workout yesterday. I have to say yesterday I wasn't really feeling it afterwards and was thinking about upping the weights, However this morning I can really tell I've done work. It aches but not hurts all over. I'm a real beginner and have never lifted weights before so this is going to challenge me…

Creepy guys at the gym
So I today I made my first move into the free weights area, just to do deadlifts. I come out of there and am followed by this guy into the multi use area. He stands there and watches me (while he's exercising). He rushes over to help me when I put back 5 kg weights (lol really? they're not that heavy) and I see him when…

Struggling with maintenance calories
So I started to look for my maintenance calories as I'm starting to lift weights. I do however have a huge mental blockage over eating that many calories. I can do it, I can eat them. I just feel fat when I do. Then comes the internal battle of I'll always be the fat one, etc..... I'm a little scared the voices in my head…

Expensive urine or worth the money?
What's your take on daily vitamins? Are they just a way to make very expensive urine or are they actually good for you? Also what do people know about the Well Woman/Man vitamin brand. Are vitabotics (as they call them) just another marketing gimmick?

Cool down exercises
tl;dr Didn't cool down. What should I do next time? The long version I did a trial run of Workout A Stage 1 at the gym on Thursday.

Oh my weighloss.....
Before I was eating roughly 1200 cals a day. I was losing about 1lb a week. I say about, I often didn't lose that much. This Christmas I decided I was just going to enjoy myself and came off counting calories. So at the start of December I decided that I would eat as I wanted as long as I didn't over eat. However I failed…

Feeling demotivated and disappointed.
I am feeling completely demotivated right now. We got back the wedding pictures from my sisters wedding and quite honestly I don't see a difference between me when I was at my highest and me now. I absolutely hate it. I struggle with losing weight. I've been fighting this fight since 2009, when I hit my highest weight of…

Sedentary would include those…

What level should I put?
I walk 10 minutes to work and then spends most of my day on my feet standing behind a desk, with several periods of walking around. My work day is 11 hours long. In that time I walk home for lunch. This happens four days a week. My days off are basically spent watching TV with periods of cleaning the house and walking the…
