Yass! Completed the 20minute run this morning B)

Have you tried any meat-alternatives such as quorn?

I recommend the Guilty Feminist podcast, its funny and thought-provoking.

Just leaving the gym and feeling very cheery after completing my two 8-minute runs. It really was a case of mind over matter @rianneonamission. Can't believe I've got to attempt a 20-minute run in two days time. Good luck every one with your sessions!

Thanks for the advice. When I saw the same thing had happened again I manually logged two hours of driving and it removed the 'outdoor biking' and associated calories for me.

Hi all, I'm scheduled to do W5R2 today. Feeling a little nervous about the 8minute runs but I know I have felt that way for each progression and so far have been capable. I find the mental barrier is the worst, and the clock watching!

Well done on your weight loss thus far! Could it be hormone differences making you hungry? Or an emotional change - boredom, stress?

I find that during exercise my allergies (i.e. Runny nose) actually tend to slow down a bit, at least in comparison to times such as when lying in bed or trying to work at my desk. Unfortunately there's not much you can do about it other than take antihistamines and try to reduce your exposure to allergens.

Turning thirty this year was a bit of a kick in the butt.

Good luck with your Chronic fatigue symptoms! It sounds like you have already been doing a great job with your weightloss and unless you are focused on a particular diet like low-carb or want to lift heavy (protein) there is no need to focus on your macros. My partnered suffered with ME (he was recovering when we met) and…

Does anyone know what the tipping points for calorie adjustments from Fitbit are? I just recently switched from eating an average amount of calories per day to using the figure suggested by MFP plus exercise.

Glad to see I'm not the only one having issues right now!

I'm aspiring to 20% body fat, which I calculated for myself as 111lbs. I imagine I will be happy with the results before I reach that goal though, which is a bonus.

Are you doing 2-3hours in one session? And then doing that most days a week? If so, that seems more than excessive to me. I would guess as well that you need to be eating more to fuel those long workouts. It's good to workout and yes it can help with health and mental health but I worry you might be taking it to the…

Sounds like an allergic reaction.

I've been allowing myself extra calories on my mega-craving days but I try to still eat less than maintenance calories (unless it's a really hard day).
-
I can relate here. My partner needs double the amount of calories just to maintain his weight. I'm in charge of cooking dinner during the week so I can track what goes into my meals. I always load up his plate with much larger portions, particularly of carbs. He's also been kindly trying to snack on foods I don't like but…

I found that after a while of making myself go to the gym that anxiety and the internal struggle (shall I go/shall I stay home) slowly disappeared. For me it was about becoming familiar with my gym, learning how to use the machines properly and chatting to the instructors and other gym-goers.

From my own past experience in the U.K., it is often cheaper to buy carbs, and junk or processed food than it is to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. You can for example, buy pasta/rice for many meals but a equivalent amount of veg (price-wise) might only give you 1-2 portions. Equally, things such as biscuits can be very…
