It's kinda up for debate still.... I think your going to get alot of conflicting opinions here in a min. There have been studies to show it's evils and cancer causing effects but not really anything conclusive. Imo if you like splenda go for it, not that long ago eggs were killing us, before that chicken caused cancer.....…

Don't be so silly! unicorn horn ground up and cooked at 81° for precisely 81 seconds stirred anticlockwise 81 times by a 81cm tall leprechaun is her only hope at losing 8lbs an hour.... duh! But yeah it would be nice to believe there was a miracle like lemon water, teas, pixies and wacky mojo to weight management. But then…

I only got bloated just before and during when I had periods, but I got seriously bad bloating when I did +10lbs a couple times and the whole pot belly look. Pretty discouraging if your trying to lose weight! If it's super bad you can talk to your doctor but I found drinking dandelion tea twice a day and lots of water…

Your just starting out on your fitness journey so I'm going to say something a little different. Maybe look into classes and find one you enjoy? Enjoyment is the thing alot of people starting out seem to miss and it helps a ton at keeping at it. Same goes for the cardio machines. Any exercise is good for health, happiness…

200% improved! Without losing weight I'd never have the job I have, THE CONFIDENCE to be myself, the balls to try new things without my weight holdin me back and I'll still be wearing clothes with weird logos on them. (Why do they put strange butterflies and stuff on plus sized clothes?) Most importantly I still wouldn't…

Set yourself much much smaller goals, (don't need to be weight related). Even wrote a list of things you should be or want to do, you'll get the gratification of having done the small goals much faster and much more frequently. Works for me, I feel amazing when I hit a big goal but the little goals keep me on track.

Professional troublemaker. ;-)

Can't stand butter without salt personally and I use alot of butter (can't hit fats without it) After years of not eating the stuff I craved it alot once I started eating it again. I crave butter sometimes but I always assumed it was the salt causing my cravings, would be interesting to know if it could be something else…

-Having to hot wash your clothes so they fit and risking them going a weird shape. -Always losing weight where you least want to/looking a bit unbalanced during those in between weights. (Would the below the belly button half of me please hurry up already?) -weird neck lines (tendons?). Not sure if this is just me. - pms…

I'm not sure I ever did. It was more a gradual mental change over time when I lost the biggest part of my weight (113kg to 70kgish). Slowly I stopped judging the size of seats before sitting etc. But years later i still have mental fat days. I'm pretty small for my weight now and I frequently have to remind myself of it. I…

I'm a little confused tbh. Are you asking for advice on how to eat more because you have no appetite or why your not seeing results? Might help if you could post how long you've been on this program, how your calories look, etc. If it's advice on how to eat more, peanut butter or butter can be added to alot of things and…

Bring a awesome salad premade0 to his house for everyone to eat with the pizza and burgers or whatever. You've an have extra salad to fill you up with a small serving of whatever they are eating, plus you get brownie points with his family for bringing food.

Diet cheese is just a terrible abomination. Cheese I love. You can swap out the bread or crackers for salad or cucumber or change around what you eat with the cheese to make it fit your goals. Or buy ridiculously good and expensive cheese so you have the extra incentive to keep the portions sensible. (Personally I like to…

Check the texture... you can tell when it's gone off trust me, if it's gone clumpy don't try to drink it. Acidentally lost the end of a tub in back of cupboard and found when I moved house. Thought I'd try to cook with it anyway. Bad idea, very very bad idea.

In all honesty I get paid too much... not complaining tho!

I would like wrinkles on my lower abs gone (without tummy tuck). I'm okay other than that though.

For world peace Animals Sunshine and rainbows.... But honestly? I'd probably be mostly selfish. 1) To acheive every goal I set myself in every area of my life. 2) To find myself a partner and some genuine freinds who aren't either gold digging muppets or judgemental idiots. 3) For everyone to cheer up, stop being miserable…

A binge to me is uncontrollable eating, usually a horrible an stressful experience, calories anywhere above 3000 in the space of 1-3hours. I personally think the term binge is over used sometimes, it can be used in too many ways. (Thankfully I've not binged in several years since my late teens, July 2006 was my last but I…

Are you weighing all your food? And logging those bites you grab on the go? (The slice of ham from the fridge or apple on the side counter etc) Logging liquid calories? I have an underachievement thyroid too, sometimes for no reason my thyroxine needs adjusting (personally I think diet changes affect this as they time in…

I set fitness goals but choose either a date or a weight or a time. Fitness progression for me is too unpredictable. Weight training goals are pretty simple for me to set. Example - atm I want to dl 150kg, it might take me 6 months it could take a year or 2. I can't really time my lifts increasing but having something to…

Well done for accepting it's a problem that's the first step to getting it sorted. Weightloss can be addictive. Be honest and talk with your mom it may help you more than you'd think to have her support. I do think outside help at this point may be a good idea, and i dont think seeking advice online is a great idea. No one…

You need to stop seeing treats as such a big deal and remeber it's okay to eat "treats" when you want. Long term you will have to treat yourself to what you want sometimes or risk falling off the wagon completely. No one can be 100% good and on track everyday for the rest of their lives. You can fit 99.9% of foods into a…

Recomp is not pointless at all if you can stick with it. It just takes patients which alot of people don't have which is why it often fails when people give up after not seeing massive results in a few months. I started with a 8month recomp and it did work.

You can go over you carb goal and still lose weight as long as your under maintance calories. Are you hitting your protein and fat macros usually? Or on a low carb diet?

If you look online it's pretty hard to find a physical attribute not in some way being shamed. On the plus side there is also alot of acceptance and positive thinking about those same attributes on other sites or the next post down. I just read the happy nice people's comments, no one should be shamed for their body…

When I first lost weight I had an ah ha moment too. I was 16 and went to my first ever amusement park with a group, my first big ride was one of those spinning swings, walked to the seat, couldn't pull the seat down over me, two guys that worked there tried to squash me in to it and had to ask me to leave the ride. Same…

More cabbage porn. Thick Cabbage and leek soup 136 calories a massive bowl.

No it doesn't. It's a myth, sorry that's probably not what you want to hear but it's sis-science. I had a long talk about this with the nurse who specialises in breast lifts. The pec muscles (which are underneath the breast) won't lift or change your breast shape, the visable breast shape (perkiness) is more about the…

Totally what these guys say, I try to pre work out my special days where I'll over eat too. But if you've not gone over by too much since you cant always plan these things no harm in going slightly under your calorie goal today so your weekly total works out. I wouldn't advise it if you were more than a couple hundred over…
