  • I just had a pretty normal day - well apart from the Daim bar!

    Going to start doing more exercise and I have some weights that are heavy (to me!!) that I am going to find a routine for.

    Eating less will slow down your metabolism, and have the opposite effect of what you are looking for. It can also put you into starvation mode and you will overeat again. If you want to feel better at the end of a day of going over, do an extra bit of exercise before going to bed. Jog for half an hour, do some crunches, ride a bike, etc. Just a few simple, short exercises to get your metabolism up will help you burn those extra calories for recovery while sleeping.

    NO

    please go learn some basic information about your metabolism. It is not a Yo Yo and does not slow or speed up very easily.
    Actually you're wrong. Overall calorie consumption does alter your metabolism. However the "starvation mode" is widely OVERBLOWN!

    ditto, and carry on soldier... hold yourself to a healthy standard... self-discipline isn't always easy for me... I ask myself often... when I need to do one more sit-up, one more push-up, one more Holiday Shred... HOW BAD DO I WANT THIS!!!!! and I see progress... and it becomes every bit worth it.... Do I feel better than I did last week, last month, last year! You BET!!!
