I workout 5/7 days, I usually do Wednesday - Sunday. This is because Monday and Tuesdays are the busiest at my gym! I'll list my routine W, F, S 20 minute cross trainer or tredmill Weight machines 5 machines based off different arm and back muscles 8 reps x 3 on each Leg press, 50 reps 5 minute Step up machine 10 minute…

Not what I was after..

I think it just comes down to how much you want to lose weight. Your mum sounds like she's just trying to be aware of what she eats and not completely overeating. But you want to lose weight more. It's better that you weigh in each week on the same day as that's one way to keep track. Just keep doing what you're doing !…

Yeah I can that's why I was confused to why people were only doing cardio days and Strength days

No its not

It's probably because you're busy. Yesterday I had a very busy day so didn't end up eating my first meal to very late, but went to the gym and had an active day. So you're not thinking about food, having to eat then log your food just gets you thinking about food again, thinking if that's okay or when you can have your…

Waist trainer, has benefits and drawbacks obviously. Benefits: - when wearing you tend to eat smaller portions and feel full quicker - It will take a couple inches off your belly if you follow the instructions (see negative point) - It helps your posture a lot ! That's always a plus Drawbacks: - Super uncomfy till you get…

They come out of the washing hot? But thanks for the suggestion :)

These are elastic ! As elastic as they get without being jeggings. But obviously I stretch them when wearing them

I found that taking supplements helped me be motivated to do anything about my weight with my depression holding me down. They don't fix a thing but they just give you that push to take the first step again

A) take a lighter photo, outside cause nobody can work with such a dark photo B) just get a hairband and slick your hair back and see if you like it like that C) it's hair, it'll come back

Well I've had a couple, stretch marks on my belly were a huge 'oh' moment for me, but the motivation for me starting my fitness pal (again!) was watching say yes to the dress. Obviously all the brides looked beautiful whatever their size, however the smaller girls all had so many different options and looked stunning in…

If you're only trying to be healthy and eat 'cleaner' foods then simply start to add things into your shopping list. Suggest your parents buy skim milk instead of full fat, ask them to pick up some more fruit and veg, they're not going to say no to that. So just slowly add in healthier foods that you can make quick lunches…

I'm the same. Go to a 24 hour gym, go after 9, after 10 etc. There will be hardly any people there and no staff either so means less people! you then do get into the groove and can go earlier

Know a few people who have done WW which is simply changing your food, while that's worked and they've lost a lot of weight they just have flab! So it is best to exersice and tone to tighten up your skin per say. I'm at university and work part time, found it easiest to join a 24 hour gym. There's always time, you just…

WHat me and my friend do (she lives in a different city) is we say we're going to go to our different gyms at the same time which helps motivate me, without someone expecting me to go I probably wouldn't go. I try go to the gym daily. But it ends up being going to the gym for 10 days straight then 4 off because I'm out of…

Never used to want to buy into the sweet potato fries thing. However had some and now obsessed! Try all these foods guys you'll be surprised. Used to stay far away from mushrooms and now I love them. You're taste buds change. You probably have a whole new 'set' since last time you tried the food

Coughing into your elbow- cross your arms, bam on your hands. Just sneeze or cough on a way which doesn't mean you're coughing over people.

You didn't take into account the syrup. Which would possibly be up to another 20 cals, so ignoring things which are 20-30 cals is gonna add up

Rice crispy treats with brown orange and red m&m's (supposed to be halloween themed ! They were yum, sadly forgot to take them home from my friends :( Chicken and bacon and onion pie! This was amazing! (And also looked super cute!) it was extremely filling which I was surprised by as its small!

Hey I'm the same as you, add me if you'd like :) Just got to set that one main motivation. And go back to it. I've also found in my bad depression points I've tried going to the gym when I'm upset to get my mind off it instead of eating the feelings away. As for anxiety, a 24 hour gym has worked wonders! This means to get…

It isn't really the same if you have to go brush your teeth first lol

The title says don't judge and people are judging lol. The age people are exploring their own bodies is becoming younger, which is good so people aren't scared of their own body.

Usually an hour and a half / two hours including the walk to and from the gym and getting ready. Usually stick to treadmill, bike and cross trainer, depending on the day the amount on each changes. I try to go to the gym every day, but sometimes it's simply to make me walk to the gym to get my steps up. As I always try and…

.r23.cf1.rackcdn.com/mfp-en.vanillaforums.com/editor/xo/vhzhgbngqvyi.jpg I do a lot of creative things really when I don't consider myself that creative. Photography is a current love, gig photography mostly but I do like my little jellyfish! Do a lot of drawing when I'm in the mood, the dolphin picture was a long while…

Never fry potatoes! Always oven, covered in the noted measure of oil! And as stated I have very little fries as I'm not a fry person and I'm only just trying out the sweet potatoes! As to the honey, I put in one and a half teaspoons with the mustard to make my topping, I didn't use all of it as only a small amount is…

There questions about the entries I see as examples to point out? 1) Homemade sweet potato fries: Are you weighing the sweet potato, and putting the weight of potato and anything you add to it in the recipe builder? This seems to be the same size potato or exact 1/2 or exact 1/4 on (same weight potatoe) each entry? They're…

I was the same, especially when I was working in a pub where the tap Coke was free so I had a lot! I don't enjoy Coke Zero and I'm not a fan of sweetners as when you weigh it out it's just as bad as sugars. My solution was just to go cold turkey, otherwise you're so tempted for another glass etc. Start drinking a lot more…

Buy them something like a steamer, so they don't feel the need to add butter? Or ask them if you can just grab some quickly before they add the butter ? Just nicely try and educate them that little is better most the time
