Re: Im not loosing weight PLEASE HELP

Not liking options here! haha...I'm feeling hopeless at the moment- I think I will try not to worry too much about it until I know I can do something more, like a personal trainer (which has been one of the only things that has ever worked amazingly for me because they knew exactly what workouts wou...

Re: Cooking with olive oil - unhealthy?

Hahaha i'll have to youtube that :P

Thanks for all the tips once again- so then the only fats found in olive oil are unsaturated so therefore they will not turn to fat (when used in moderation)?

NO GYM FOR 3 WEEKS- HELP!

Hi everyone- just wanted some tips and advice on workouts I can do for last 3 weeks in London before I travel and head home. Not enough time left for a membership to the gym so I'm not renewing it. I've just been going for runs/jogs. There are lots of hills around so that is good for runs! I have to...

Re: Cooking with olive oil - unhealthy?

Re: Im not loosing weight PLEASE HELP

That is great- congrats on the weight loss! I am having trouble losing the weight I would like as well- but I think maybe I'm still taking in too many calories, not not enough unfortunately...but maybe I'm wrong? Why did the calorie increase help you to lose the weight? Is it because your body isn't...

Re: In need of advice!

Okay, so I should maybe try to eat 15-20g of protein (in meal form) about an hour before I workout and then maybe a shake after? However, I eat dinner (usually fish and veggies) when I get home from working out, so wouldn't that be overdoing the protein? Also, I thought if you want to lose weight, y...

Re: In need of advice!

Thanks guys! I was thinking maybe I need to rest more..I usually don't work out on the weekends though( and if I do, just one of the days), but it makes sense that I would need a break in between..just feel guilty when I don't work out because I'm in such a routine I guess. It also just makes me fee...

Re: In need of advice!
