  • I haven't, but I haven't been in a lot of relationships either. My boyfriend supports my weight lost, reminds me to weigh in/check my calories and supports my working out while telling me he still loves me no matter what my shape or size. But still, forget that guy. If he's going to use crap like that to end a…
  • I bought a cheap pedometer before, but never put it on, a slight rattle would add a step. I was hoping one day I can afford the fitbit, but it's way out of my budget now and I would be afraid of giving up and having it just sit there 50-70 quid wasted. I've used my 3DS for counting steps but I honestly could not say if…
  • Don't forget lunge, lunge, lunge
  • Losing weight generally is about becoming healthy, as well as becoming comfortable in your skin which tends to be the kickstarter for most people's journey, but those who keep with it like the benefits they feel from being fit.
  • I don't really have much people on my list to justify a clear out, and I haven't talked to many a lot on it to really care if they booted me. My activity here has bounced back and forth a lot that I don't blame anyone who has deleted me before. Unless there's a friends cap though I don't see a real need to do so, if…

  • I think it's wise, if you're struggling to do what you're capable off til your fitness level increases. Like the healthy amount advertised is at least 30 minutes of activity a day. Or as people have mentioned, you tend to not notice you're actually exercising when it's something you enjoy rather than a chore you feel you…
  • As mentioned it's a vague term. For some I see posting here, it's about eating more fresh food, opposed to junk food or take outs. I've seen others mention where it means they will only eat organic. I think healthier foods do make you feel better, I feel less weighed down and bloated if I eat a home cooked meal (even home…
  • It sounds really negative, but I've stopped myself (so far) from gorging by mentally saying any time I want extra "You're too fat to eat that". Then I try to fill up on water. Are you sure you're eating enough, period? If your body's in starvation mode it'll make you want to eat a lot. As for the biscuits, the reality may…
  • I look at my BMI and what's the recommended range for my height (think mine was between 100 lbs and 125 lbs. My goal tends to be the top target, and then when I reach it I'll reevaluate whether I need to lose more weight (most likely since I'm so short) or if I just need to work on strength, toning and maintaining to avoid…
  • I think it depends on whether you are doing a diet, something you want to be temporary to lose weight then go back to the same old habits, if that's the case, I think maintaining would be harder cause the person has to accept it's a life style change, not a phase. But for people who are going into this journey knowing it's…
  • In terms of this website, I find myself doing it for a week, maybe a few days more before it just feels like a chore. The app takes too much space on my phone so after I eat anything I feel like I should log on and log it, which makes me feel like I spend way too much time on this. I wish they made a lite version of the…
  • The exercise I do (PS3 My Fitness Coach) I wouldn't say I really like, I like the feeling after, I just feel much healthier. But actual sports or games I would do for ages without noticing a sweat would be a using dance machine, swimming and (though it's very light activity in my past experience) Badminton. Unfortunately I…
  • I was trying not to when I started but then I saw someone else mention in a different topic that you should, and to calculate your BMR and TDEE and all
  • I don't drink diet juice, I tend to stick to either water, more commonly water with a splash of squash or for a "fizzy treat" flavoured water, but I rarely buy that now and prefer cold weak squash
  • My clothes which were already only one size below the national average (UK Size 16) and I gained weight meaning those clothes were starting to feel tight, a number of them only recently bought. Currently wanna get back to my original weight right now which is losing 2-3 stone, then drop more til I'm in a healthy range, but…
  • I don't live in the same climate but we are having very good weather here, and my room (where I exercise, could never do it outside or at a gym at the weight I'm at) is kind of a hot box, it's always the warmest in the house and in summer it's overkill. I've gone for a cheaper temporary option of spriting myself with cold…
  • I tend to have to take a rest day every 2 days of exercise as my legs get achey (I do a lot of thigh burning activities, squats and sit ups mixed with my aerobics) so if I don't I'll just be under performing cause my body needs to recover, though when I do have a rest day I try to do other things like take long relaxed…
  • I replace them with lower calorie alternatives, so instead of crisps get the 100 cal packs or weight watchers brand, instead of chocolates I have special K biscuit moments etc Generally I find it easier just not to buy them. Having food you know you shouldn't eat sitting in the house is like a smoker keeping a pack of cigs…
  • You could maybe point out that while you're impressed and happy for him it's making you miss running and getting you down. Like you don't have to say tone it down, but maybe pointing out that it's making you upset would cause him to tone it down while in front of you
  • I'm pretty much aiming to go down in stones, and at each stone I'll probably get myself something, but my main reward if when I reach my goal weight, I can get new clothes ^.^ My short term goal is my lowest weight I've been at 154 lbs, then 130 and see how I feel with my body then and reassess
  • I've wanted to unfriend a bunch of people I knew when I used to hang out in the "Alternative" circle, some of who added me from literall just recognizing me in town and never actually spoken to me, in life or in person, but I want to avoid the drama of if they notice the whole "OMG YOU DELETED ME" If you don't want to see…
  • The healthy range according to weight watchers for 5,5 is 8 st 8 lb -10 st 10 lb, 123.2lbs to 141.4 lbs. I'm presuming a lot would rather be on the smaller end.
  • Personally I find it a shame to give a child a mobile so young, especially if it's one with access to the internet where they can see all the hateful, discriminatory, trolls online ready to slander anyone and everyone, such early access tends just seems to cement it for some that the likes of Facebook is a necessary part…
  • You can try with your siblings to ask them if they want to work out with you if you're worried about them getting chubby, as for the food, if they want to spend $300 worth of money on what you see as junk, let them, as long as you get the food you will eat too. For me, I find when I exercise though I don't want to stuff my…
  • I actually liked using the treadmill most. I don't have enough distance to run in my house, and wouldn't want to sprint in the streets.
  • I personally wouldn't be able to keep up with supporting 80 friends myself. Would that not entail sitting and spending ages responding to everyone. Since I've been infrequent on this before for a long time, the friends I added before, justifiably don't bother messaging me any more or deleted me and I'm technically not…
  • I wouldn't call it stereotyping, some people just turn to insults when you aren't interested in them, as a way of comforting their ego that they can't just get anyone they want like that. It helps them with their insecurity. If you wouldn't like to receive messages like that, it helps to change your profile picture (which…
  • I'm 5 foot 2, and even though I have a big bust, I'm considerably pear shaped, definitely goes to my thighs (they've always been the main thing I want to slim down but I've realized to do that the rest of me will get a lot leaner first so I'll still look pear shaped)
