  • Feel free to add me (as I have no idea how to add people lol). I started around April lost a little weight, then lost motivation. Which is where I'm at currently. Looking to support and be supported
  • Thanks for the replies. I'm currently eating 1478 calories on a workout day and around 200 less on a gym free day. I'm a real dinner girl at home, often saving lots of calories so I can enjoy a nice evening meal. So I think both your tips are great. I'll eat lighter and more sensibly for breakfast/lunch and then let go a…
  • I don't want to completely lose track of where I am, so I plan on watching what I eat (letting my hair down a little of course) and using the gym a few times whilst there. I don't plan on walking around the buffet cart with my weighing scales (embarrassment alert!), but I would like to attempt some form of calorie counting…
  • I never had to worry too much about my weight previously, but that was until giving up smoking 2 years ago, then I gained around 2 stone. I wasn't a big eater at all, but that was obviously because the cigs were killing my taste buds, because now I love EVERYTHING lol. So now it's a matter of finding what works for me.…
  • I think you're doing the right thing with continuing the exercise. And if the food element isn't working for you as its too much, like it was for me, then no point in forcing it as you will quit, so calorie counting is the best way forward I think too. And as for losing 7 stone previously...wow well done you that's…
  • I feel your pain pipmcgrath! I think I lost 1-2 ibs over the whole plan! I did have some measurement difference (very very slight!) but completely unnoticeable to the eye or to how my clothes fit. I was so disappointed after sticking to it religiously and the amount of money paid out, both through the plan itself and then…
  • Thank you so much for all your replies. This is exactly the kind of support and guidance I need so thank you all. It seems the general consensus is that I should just be concentrating on not going over my daily calories. So I will concentrate on that for now and stop obsessing over macros. Next stop is to try and find a…
  • I only started the gym 2 weeks ago. Had just done little HIIT sessions alone at home previously. I've ALWAYS been terrified of the gym, just the thought made me feel sick. But I but the bullet, but only with the help of my partner who comes with me. First day was scary but walked in and saw no one looked at me, everyone…
  • Prior to joining the gym 2 weeks ago, I have been HIIT at home which generally consisted of 4 rounds of 4 exercises @ 30 sec on & 30 sec rests (just high knees, burpees, power squats & mountain climbers). So would it still be likely that I'm retaining water because I've changed the type/amount of exercise I'm doing?…
