lol sneakers are called trainers in England!!! they are running shoes,New Balance... I will watch the video before buying socks... TBH, I was slightly shocked that one of the socks recommended on here costs about £45! Could almost get new "sneakers" for that...

going to sit on amazon and buy new socks and see if that helps! If not I suppose I Will go buy new trainers! Do I stop running until then? Should I just put Compeed on it and carry on running? Thank you

Have tried running in regular thin socks, my husband's (thick)socks.

and me...

you are losing more weight when you eat more? My fitbit adjustment says I can eat more, I'm just scared to slow down weight loss

I have PCOS too. I struggled to conceive my first child, had an appointment to start IVF on a Wednesday, took a pregnancy test 2 days earlier, and boom I was pregnant. I gained 23lbs with him. I lost 10% of my body weight using MFP (Having tried every other diet) and got pregnant spontaneously.... I have found that I need…

Having had both many many times, the only one I find to cause weight gain is the oral.. (yes yes I know someone is going to come along and say it doesn't CAUSE weight gain, CICO does.... ) The injections do little else to me, except give me pain relief and energy...

lol mine is in no way accurate. It is claiming I will lose about 20lbs in 5 weeks! Whilst that would be lovely, its not exactly likely...

I'm not breasfeeding so I realise I'm in a different category but I have an almost 4 month old. Last time round, I told myself I was dieting but didn't really lose anything, then when he was 9 months old I joined MFP and lost it all in 3 months. This time round I really want to have lost it all by time I go back to work (…

I also eat at a higher deficit sunday - thursday, weigh in on a Friday morning, push myself harder in gym on Saturday night and Sunday to ensure that it doesn't matter that much, and tbh it works! I don't let myself absolutely binge, or completely let go. Also, I make sure I only eat one piece of Challa at each meal - I…

I have been on and off it for years... When I'm on any dose above 25/30 I find it so hard to control my appetite, I'm literally like a cookie monster, so I work out to gain lots of calories! However, now I'm on "only" 10mg, and as mentioned above, I know at beginning of day how my calories will be allocated and I stick to…

Thank you that sounds like a good place to start (and fall on floor in pain :wink: Will adjust some of those into a workout for me and see what I can do... Yes it is sexism that it is not as well equipped, but tbh I am just happy it exists... I have to walk through the main gym to get in and out of women's and trust me, I…

That's interesting, I'm in similar situation and despite deficit, I'm still not losing... I will speak to my GP about it...

I have PCOS too and struggle to lose weight.. I had issues getting pregnant with first child but second just happened really quickly (after having lost 10% of body weight) I am also married to someone who is a research scientist on.... infertility in women with PCOS!!!!!!! lucky me :wink: feel free to add me x

I don't feel less then a man because I work out in a smaller, less packed, better air conditioned room. If someone feels less of a person as a result of that, its their mind that is causing that, not the area in which you work out... I have been lifting on my own, sans rack and was squatting 30kg... Seeing as I'm 12 weeks…

I suppose I"m looking to build muscle whilst losing weight. (Not sure what the accurate MFP language is for this but you get what I mean) I'm not looking to be a body builder, just to be strong.... As stated above, they have most equipment apart for racks.... In the gym I attend there is a (massive!!!!) main gym, and then…

Wow, a lot happened whilst I was asleep!! Thank you for all your responses! I have a regular bench but without the rack on top so I do the bench presses on it... If there is someone there to pass the bar to me, I can increase my weight on bench press, however getting it into position is where I struggle. I mentioned it to…

I suffer with Lupus/RA and am the extreme opposite of you lol! I live the lifestyle of "push as hard as you can and when a flareup happens, it happens..." So I attempt to exercise, get out there, host a million guests etc and then BANG CRASH... to bed we go.... There are 2 reasons for this... first of all, my Dr is very…

I"m not fussed about the sexist cries, my original comment was that having a rack wasn't an option, not your opinion on what gym to go to... Apart from me liking the ladies only for many reasons, the weight area in the main gym is so full of testosterone (and smelly!!!) that its another reason not to go.... Will attempt to…

They have the heavy dumbbells and the weights to put on end of bar etc. (There is a rack, in the main gym, I just don't work out there) They have every piece of equipment necessary for me to use except rack!!!!

I have done c25k in the past and have loved it... Had a baby, started it again, got to week 4 and am bored so I'm doing it "on my own' same idea just set my own goals and see if I can run for that amount of time etc. But yes, in answer to your question it is definitely possible. So much of exercising is in the mind, and if…

I don't know what country you are in, and whether that differs, but in the UK the protocol is that you will need to be on a milk only diet plus go for therapy for a while before they will actually do the surgery. Many people lose enough weight in those few months that they see they don't really need the surgery anymore,…

I don't have any advice except wow! I'm so impressed that you are even looking for exercises... I too have a form of arthritis all over my body, although sounds gold compared to what you are going through!!! I know there are days where I cannot walk, and I get so frustrated at my inability to get to where I want to be,…

where in the UK do u live?

Salt beef? chopped liver (which you totally can buy, most people do)

I have smallish breakfast (8:30) 250cals, smallish lunch (1:30) 250, snack at 4 with a coffee and at 8 have a large supper!! It works for me, and means I can use all the rest of my calories on supper, which I eat with my family and is harder to control... I find that I'm hungry around 4ish no matter how much I have eaten…

You would think that wouldn't you? But alas, these scales have a mind of their own.... I am not sure whether its "my floors fault" or the scales fault... but will definitely do a 5lb weight test and see what happens...

Well done on losing the first 3 lbs, that's amazing! Weight fluctuates on a day to day basis, so whilst many people weigh themselves every day, you can't let yourself get down when you see it going up a bit. It can depend how much sodium you ate yesterday, whether you exercised (lactic acid built up in your system) and…

Oh, how I love mine!! I have had it for over a year now and would definitely go out and buy a new one if this one broke. I feel like it keeps me motivated, I do competitions with friends (but only people I know...) We push each other to do more etc. I don't generally eat back fitbit calories (When I woke up this morning…
