new girl from the UK :)

**Rxqueenie** · 01-20-2013, 05:46 AM

Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself

Been hanging around various UK forums for a while and thought it's about time I got stuck in over here!!

I started strength training around 18 months ago before switching to more of an isolation-type workout and keeping my diet in check. I managed to lose 10kg... took a break over Xmas and started up new regime and diet in the new year

Love training and everything about it and quite happy to talk about my own experiences and battles. You'll probably also hear me talk about Physique Elite a lot too! There are courses that we are running in the states and I'd love to reach out and raise awareness of them!!

Current goals... hmm, I want to get to some sort of stage condition. I'd love to try a bit of fitness modelling or something

Look forward to reading what u all have to say!

Well, we're almost neighbors if you ignore the water between the UK and mainland europe. ;-)

Hi! im from east midlands! Good to know other fellow brits on here! i was wondering if you guys have any advice with regards to transformations and uni! I find it really difficult to eat clean at uni especially with time constraints. My diet is fairly good but with so many undergrads eating pizza etc it really is a struggle sometimes! Any help?

I try to keep to the 80-90% rule of if u cant grow it or it didn't have a face u don't eat it. Sadly with cafeterias and such you will always be presented with loads of high carb , often processed foods. Unless home made, pizza will never be a good choice. Opt for jacket potatoes with tuna or chilli, burger and salad but throw the bun in the bin, any other meat choices, fruit etc . Personally I dont think it takes much effort to chuck a bag of salad and a chicken breast or a can of tuna with a boiled egg in a Tupperware container and eat that, but i dont know how feasible that is for you. Snack on nuts and if you have a sweet tooth bring with you natural yogurt and some berries, maybe some raw honey on top - takes 2 secs to put in a plastic container. There is no EASY way, you have to track your macros. Use My fitness Pal if you can and just become very aware of what goes in your mouth!

best of luck

Hello from sunny south Wales.....

**DavinaG** · 02-01-2013, 05:06 AM

Hello, I live in Hampshire too! Only just started training (after a false start before Christmas) - it was hard getting started but now much easier to look forward to the workout every day!

I've entered the 12 week challenge contest - not expecting to win anything but at least it will give me some motivation to do it properly, I would be gutted if my before and after pics look the same lol
