haha clever stuff! I've been drinking water like a fish this week, and not obsessively weighing, and eating my calories... I will literally scream/kill someone if I haven't lost at least 4lbs... lol =P I did some kettlebell exercises but I've stopped going to the gym and my fitness has gone to poooop. Damn.

He'll get better soon martinist! Damn right he will! :p lots of love to you and your family,& wishing him a speedy recovery!

Sent crush a handmade "forever alone" meme valentines card... He loved it. SCORE.

started again on monday past, doing normal calorie counting, and lost 4lbs in 5 days, yay. Now I'm starting my week on a Saturday morning... doing spike calorie counting which is really working for me. There's 3 levels of calorie allowance with it; Spike, high and low. On your spike day you have your BMR x2, High days (for exercise - has to be heavy going weight training) are your BMR, and low days are 500-700 subtracted off your BMR, depending on how much you have to lose and how high your BMR is. I had a low day yesterday, and a spike day today. Indian here I come, 4000 calories to eat lol :3 http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/hannata86 trying to keep my low/high days as clean as possible, cutting out sweetener and salt, and drinking all of my water intake and more

naruto!!! holy moly i cried so bad ;____;

Are you doing any particular training routine?

so im disappointed in you guys..... its only the beginning of feb and this has sunk down to page 2..... tsk tsk How is everyone getting on? I'm on mfp if anyone wants to add me clicky great wee place to get support, and the app/website is superb for tracking. With my iphone its like *scan barcode - verify item + cals - choose portion size - add* At the minute I'm not going by mfp recommendations for calories. I'm doing a spike week. Basically I get my BMR, multiply by 7 (for the week), subtract the deficit for loss (in my case 1000 calories for 2lbs pw loss) then divide by 8. The number I get is the normal calorie allowance for a regular day (think its 1700 for me) and then the last day of the week I double my intake. Spikes my metabolism (see what they did with the name lol) and allows me to have a day where I can enjoy a higher intake.

Hiya, welcome to the forum

I looked into the whole mortgage/life cost thing and I found that the numbers just weren't there.... I'm on 19k p.a and I reckon it would be a struggle and I'd be lucky to be able to afford basic amenities with that. Doable... but not exactly ideal... Its pretty sad that a lot of people in our generation will have to wait til their parents die to provide some kind of house or inheritance to start off. But I do agree with Sheikah that it can be done if you save like a fiend, then it lessens what mortgage you need, and in turn monthly repayments.

Hoping the snow stays away from here til after monday.... got to take the car with fubar'd clutch to the garage.... fubared clutch + snow is really an accident waiting to happen!!

not a thing here and im not one bit gutted, it can stay the hell away as far as i'm concerned :p

hahahaha nice idea ;D there have actually been jokes made about us and it doesn't seem to phase him... think he's just a really nice/unawkward type of guy =P waitaminute.... maybe he's gay!! unfortunately i had another annoyance today as well, my freakin clutch has started to die... another cost I can't afford!! Argh!

i had a VERY VIVID filthy filthy dream about my colleague last night.. i had to sit beside him with that very vivid image in my mind...all day.... awkward.... He's cute an all but im not particularly attracted to him... which made it a bit odd to say the least!!

hahaha that is freakin excellent CB!!!

yeah definitely, it is a great idea I like the build your own tab thingy. And the fact you can include things you want or don't want its brilliant.. pretty much caters for any diet

dont get me wrong i think its a great idea, might actually use it! I just think the relationships between the food could be tweaked, eg meat + oats = no.

i left the food at default; 1600 cals in 5 meals breakfast: 2 eggs Eggs 0.5 cup Multigrain Oatmeal meal 2 1 cup Cottage Cheese 2 oz Pasta meal 3 1 cup Cottage Cheese 1 cup Wild Rice meal 4 1 cup lentils meal 5 1 cup Avocados and Vegetables 2 cup Carrots 1 cup Spinach Eat these throughout the day Right.... er... cottage cheese twice in one day....cottage cheese and rice? Oats and Eggs? And how the hell would you add spinach and carrots to those meals? It's a great idea, but could do with finesse, like maybe suggesting something logical, like milk, with the oats... lol edit: oh wait i just noticed it has next to nothing set on the list.... lol thats...logical edit2: er ok..... what in the name of god do you do with this meal: 1 cup Apples 1 slice Bacon 3 oz Ground Beef 0.5 cup Multigrain Oatmeal ...suggestions on a postcard...

Happy birthday

if a boy wants to play with a barbie, let him, and the same if a girl wants to play with a truck...(or do anything that isn't in their stereotype).... doesn't mean that they've somehow magically lost their gender or personality. Kids are kids.... they mostly don't care about things like gender stereotypes and things like that...they just want to play and have fun.... seems like some people want kids to be something they aren't yet able to understand..

you should know yourself really, if you've gone running an your calves feel wrecked, don't work on them the next day! Protein helps, but its NO replacement for rest days. And making sure you get a good sleep routine is crucial... that's when a lot of the repair happens. nice and regular, making sure you are getting 7 hours, but not oversleeping. like several have said, rest days don't necessarily mean sitting on your bum.

no you need at least 1 rest day per week, 2 if you do intensive training. Repetitive muscle wear can lead to weakness & injury...
