  • If you're doing what you're doing and it isn't working then it's time to try something else. I'd agree with the sentiment of ignoring the scales, eating at maintenance and stepping up on exercise/ strength training. I did, it's a lot less draining physically/ mentally and my body looks all the better for it. Up to you, of…
    in Losing Vanity Weight... HELP Comment by DaisukeYuki December 2016
  • I'm somewhat at a loss why some random person would come up and tell you what/ what not to do personally. It seems a tad overbearing and presumptuous to assume a stranger doesn't know what they're doing.
    in Getting back to the gym Comment by DaisukeYuki December 2016
  • I can identify with this as I found long walks during the summer (around 3 hours worth) really helped me de-stress. I'm currently implementing running to try and get rid of nervous energy (anxiety/ IBS sufferer) without the eventual possibility of muscle/ joint pain or fatigue and desire to overeat.

Feeling better, retaining muscle mass etc etc. It'll also "buffer" your calories if you're not weighing your…
    in Eating low...weight stalled? Help? Should I eat more for a day? Comment by DaisukeYuki November 2016
  • I spent a whole summer's worth of very long morning walks and it was fantastic. Once it started getting dark and I still wished to continue, I finally caved into friends/ family/ boyfriend's requests to start using cardio equipment at my gym instead. Plus side? No longer walking and challenging myself to 5k's on a…
    in Women- do you run alone? Comment by DaisukeYuki November 2016
  • As its winter I'm getting into the habit of going to the gym and hitting the crosstrainer instead of walking outside, so pretty new to running. As a beginner so far I'm just doing a 5km (around three miles is it?) programme which takes just under 40 mins for me to complete with no real problems. Looking forward to when the…
