I'd suggest to have a week of eating 2000 cals, if you've programmed into having 1700/1600 I'm sure 2000 seems a scary thing for weight loss but it sounds like you need to spike your matabolism. A week of eating extra protein and healthy fats for them to cut back again to your 1600. From then on, you may possibly be on the…

Not fussed about having the easy route, just wanting to eliminate this each year. I pay close attention in eating well and looking after my body and it just seems to get run down quite often. Thank you I'll take a look!

Yes I am naturally iron deficient, and with recent blood tests my iron is on the lower scale of average even with taking both of those tablets x

Yes that is definitely one which I'll start doing next year, around September time as it all starts to go down hill usually around October!

I eat anywhere from 1600-2600. (Preferably try and stay below 2000) but depending on how much exercise and if I want a treat it will be 2600. I've been there with the whole starving thing and eating under 1000 ect. I got so tiny, lack of energy, mood swings, unhealthy relationship with food and with my own body. Now I am 9…

I used to get my house mate to hide the jar in her room so I didn't eat it all in one sitting.. She hid it very well, no matter how hard I tried to find it!!

Hello, thanks for the comment So for example, at the moment I haven't been exercising but still have been eating 2600 cals. If I'm exercising that usually works out to be fine to maintain but at the moment I know it's above maintainence but it will get to the end of the day and can't work out if I'm actually hungry or my…

To be fair that tag line was from when u first started all of this a few years back, but that is something which I still am working towards. I don't follow a specific program, just usually use resistant machines at the gym as well as all my dancing and cycling

In the last 5 weeks exercise has been minimal - none because I've been very poorly. Which also doesn't help with over eating because I have been comfort eating and through Bordem. But usually I attend a dance college mob-fri and some days would have a good 7 hours of exercise plus cycling 6 miles to get to and from…

Thank you, I just feel a lot of the time j am doing these things but it just doesn't seem to stop me!

I don't think I'd be half as insecure about my legs if they weren't so wobbly and uneven. Yes I have extremely thick thighs for your 'typical dancer' but it's definitely the tone of the legs that effects me more

What is the reason behind this?

Blend avocado, cocoa powder, dash of honey and some berries together.. Amazing chocolate mousse! Quark and dash of honey? Freeze some bananas, then blend to make banana ice cream Freeze grapes and they taste like little ice pops!

I'm hoping to lose a couple of pounds but that usually comes off my top half ( I'm bottom heavy) but I do Pilates, and the usually cardio at the gym like running and on the cross trainer. My legs are something that I have always been self conscious of because they are very un toned so I focus a lot of them at the gym with…

I have definitely noticed that it happens when I'm not busy and home alone. I always try to keep busy when I'm not at college or work because I hate staying in the house as I worry that I will have a day or over eating..

Thank you all for your support, really feeling positive about getting this sorted and back on track! All very helpful!!!

Thank you everyone for your advice. I will definitely have a look at the links and book recommendations. I am not over weight in the slightest, i just am under the pressure of having a fit toned body as I am a dancer. It is expected of me to be the lower end of a healthy bmi and at the moment I am the top of healthy bmi. I…

Yeah I see where your coming from, it's just been going on for a long time now resulting in a load of weight gain. I suppose it's a habit I just need to learn to crack!

Not majorly no. The thing I don't understand is I don't always binge on unhealthy things that I try not to have much of. Sometimes I can genuinely just eat way too much of the normal stuff day to day and end up well over maintainance for the week!

Have you ever tried buying chocolate and sweets in mini sizes? So then you can still have the treats when you need/want them but not go overboard? It's just a case of learning to stick to the one mini bar of chocolate instead of tucking into 5 lol x

I want to join!! im 5ft4 and 127 lbs. Aiming to be 123 by the end of april!!
