You want to exercise to get fitter and leaner and healthier. The app is only telling you how much calories you are burning when you exercise. If you want to lose weight quicker then DON'T eat these calories.

@conleywoods Am sorry to read that you are having such a hard time just now and hope you can get your health problems sorted out soon. I have been going through something similar with horrible stress at work and am off sick just now. My blood pressure too high, sleeping badly and have a work-related injury! Life sucks! I…

@micki48 Congratulations on your weight loss! I would not worry too much about the gain and loss. I am an ex-weight-watcher and was told once "if you eat less for a while the body thinks that you are in a famine and holds onto calories and stores it as fat - that means that sometimes you don't lose weight or even gain…

@eggfreak Do you find the fitbit helpful? My husband and a friend have been telling me to buy one and say that it really helps them stay active. I tend to get obsessive about things and worried that I would challenge myself too much if I bought one .. :neutral:

@zankash23 We live in the real world and sometimes its just not possible to do what we want to do. Hope things get better for you and you get more time to concentrate on yourself again.

@ jugar sorry have not posted for a few days but my husband surprised me on my birthday with a short holiday to Gdansk at a Hotel spa. I had a wonderful time and ate very well there and feel like I have lost some inches walking around so much there and swimming every day. PW - 69.5 CW - 68.1

@ conleywoods You look fabulous in your dress. Sounds like a nice time out

@ CarolAnnM2 Well done! Sounds like you are working hard and its paying off :smiley:

@ ells_bellz Sounds like you have something to look forward to - spending time with your son. How old is he? My son is 20 but thankfully still likes to spend quality time with his Mum. I really look forward to summer when he comes home from University and we are outdoors hill-walking and cycling. Sure you will have a great…

@ jugar Just had a blah day! So annoyed with myself that I did really well all day with my food plan then fell asleep on the sofa, woke up hungry and started eating. :( Need to definitely plan for these weak moments ..

@ conleywoods Congratulations at losing inches!

@ jugar I was previously 70.1kg and now weighing 69.5kg. Not much of a change but am feeling better and have been walking loads, doing HiiT and yoga. Something every day. Next target is to start running and play badminton.

@ jugar Sorry i have not posted my weight but will get on the scales Friday

@ cleaneater80 I track macros with the myfitnesspal food diary - it gives a breakdown of: calorie content, fats, carbohydrates, protein, sugars and salt when I log each item of food. Then at the end of the day I can see how much I have eaten of each food group. Its really helping me to balance my diet better

@DD265 You made me feel ashamed when I read all the things you are doing! I like your idea of photographing your plate of food so you remember what to write in the food tracker :) I don't do weights but my son started a couple of years back and has lost a lot of weight. He looks great now and is super fit. I am very…

@ LoraineGB I just bought some nutritional yeast today and the guy in the shop said that it tastes like crunchy cheese. Hesaid that Vegans eat it a lot because it is packed full of vitamins and minerals - is really good for you. Well I love cheese so that is bonus for me!!! :D

@ CW: 218 Lauren you are not alone in having this problem. I totally understand because I am also struggling too. Definitely recommend that you find time to track your food and look at your macros. This is helping me because I can see patterns that I was not aware of. I have discovered that I tend to eat a lot of carbs and…

@Gidgitgoescrzy I like the sound of your salads and that you are using hemp seeds and sunflower seeds as a topping. I have never eaten hemp so would like to try this as a one of my goals this week. Have you tried eating nutritional yeast? I read that this taste like cheese (without the calories!) and was thinking of buying…

@DD265 sounds like your OH is having a hard time with working 15 hour shifts and tyre blowouts!

@jugar I haven't logged my steps every day yet but did the following: 1 february - walked/ran 4.8km including steep hill and did half hour yoga 2 february - walked/ran 2km uphill and did half hour yoga 3 february - walked 8km 4 february cycled 15km in the snow and ice (my bike has winter tyres) 5 february did 10,000 step…

Hi Everyone Have been trying to keep my calories down this week but seem stuck at around 1700. I feel better now that I am tracking my macros and hopefully will see a difference when I weigh myself on sunday! @IDebraK I hope you do well and can fit into the outfit for the wedding because it looks amazing
