I am guessing Hypothyroidism? Have you seen the doctor and got your dosage right? The correct dosage can really make a difference to progress. I also suffer and whilst it can be slightly more difficult to lose due to a more sluggish metabolism, it is certainly not impossible. You just have to work harder and be very…

I really wouldn't advise doing too much exercise until you have seen the doctor, you could be doing yourself irreversible damage. If you are really determined to go, then maybe just have a slow-ish walk on the treadmill or have a swim if they have a pool, but I really wouldn't lift weights or do anything strenuous until…

Hi, Have you been to see a doctor? What do they say is the problem? It's hard for anyone on here to offer advise without knowing what is wrong with you as you may end up causing damage by exercising if you don't know what is wrong.

I used to work in an open plan office with mostly Indian and Sri Lankan colleagues. The smell of their lunch used to make me really hungry! I love stinky food...

I like plain cottage cheese, but I also like it with a dollop of piccalilli stirred in.... spices it up and gives it a nice tang!

Sorry, I couldn't get past... "a double bacon clubhouse, no bacon," No bacon? No bacon? On a double bacon clubhouse?! That's where your problem lies because bacon is the answer to everything!! :D Seriously though, it's just one day, did you enjoy it? If so, count it as an enjoyable feast and go back to plan tomorrow. If…

So, just curious... did you make a size 12 as you wanted to by your birthday? and if you did, did it make you feel better?

Just curious - why would this bother you? The person may be recovering from an injury and taking it slow to make sure they don't have a relapse. Besides, even if they are walking snails pace, it's faster and burning more calories than the person still sat on their sofa eating crisps...

Just wanted to say - Thanks a million for this link! I do have a bar at home, but I like using dumbbells as I'm less of a tip-over danger! :D So I looked at this link and just did Monday's work out. Love it!

I don't know if it's an actual health risk or not, but it's gross!! :s

Didn't come across that way to me, there were no winks or smiles after it to indicate anything other than a "Oh no, another stupid newbie with a post that has been done to death!". I am sick of coming on here and seeing "light hearted" digs at new posters and then the bully's defence of "Oh, it wasn't being mean, can't you…

Erm, ever think that a new poster may be curious and not actually have read every single other thread that has ever been created on here, just in case they are repeating something? I guess you are such an expert old hand that you if you ever asked a question on here it would be one that has NEVER been asked before!…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10196194/panty-mishap-at-the-gym#latest I think I'm going to avoid JD Sports's grey yoga pants... Seems to be a run of pants related problems today!! ;)

Wasabi peas.... yum yum!

I think it depends on the individual and the type of pill. When I was younger I did it on a regular basis and never had any break through or problems reverting to normal afterwards. But I know people who have had problems. I am now in my forties and recently went back on the pill (well, over a year ago now) and the Gynae…

Okay, I'm gonna bite.... :wink: What "harmful toxins" does this amazing tea get rid of that your lungs, liver and kidneys don't? And why is there suddenly "no room for excess fat"? What took up the room where they fat was? I'd like to be educated too please...

As a one off, like the last poster said, fine. Personally a bit odd, but fine if it floats your boat. However.... cups are just not accurate. Especially with something odd shaped and high density as cashews. There could be HUGE difference in calories / all macros, using a cup. Better to use a scale. Keep playing around and…

I love PB2, the plain and the chocolate, I used to sit in front of the TV with a jar of ordinary peanut butter, now I sometimes do the same with a jar of PB2, much less guilt and still as yummy, if a little more powdery! ;) <3

Because I may have eaten something I bought from a store or a restaurant...?!

Your body knows how much you weigh, what does it matter if your mind knows too? It won't change the number, it will just let you know where you are and then you can start to reduce it. Then next time you weigh in you will be happy to see a lesser number, if you don't know the original number, how can you be happy with your…

Genuine question - how does a corset "excite" your muscles and what do excited muscles do differently to ordinary ones..? Sweating won't do anything to make your waist smaller.

Once I cut (massive portions of everything) out of my diet, I lost weight. :D Haven't cut out anything from my diet because I love food and drink, I just reduced my portions.

I use one of the crystal ones, strangely really good! :)

Thank you ALL for your replies, and kind words of encouragement (and not telling me to go away because I'm too old and stupid! :blush: )I think I get it now, hahaha! So, here's how I think I need to do it 25 squats but take a break after 5, then after 10, then after 15, then after 20 then after the last 5 then 25 bench but…

Thank you for replying! It's not really my form I'm worrying about not having someone around for, it's because I daren't try to do certain overhead bar lifts in case I get the wobbles and the thing goes sideways and into something breakable - rented house you see! I don't mind the dumbells because they can't projectile…

Thank you for the link but you see.... I honestly HAVE looked at the site before which is why I mentioned it but I'm so dense it just doesn't make sense. For example, it says on Monday I should 5x5 squats, 5x5 benchpress and 5x5 barbell row. Lovely... what does that mean?! Do I do 5 squats then 5 benchpresses then 5…

I have an elliptical trainer, stationary bike and weight bench behind the sofa so I can watch TV! :)

How long have you been stalled for? Weight loss isn't linear, you may go for a few weeks at the same weight and then suddenly, it will start to go down again. Chin up, be patient, keep it so your calories in are less than your calories out and things will come good again!

What kind of salad is it? Depending on if it is meat or cheese or just salady things like lettuce and tomatoes could make a huge difference to calories. Ask for no dressing. If it's chicken, look at the size of the pieces / pieces together and then do a one off weigh at home of a similar size and you'll have a decent…
