U bought for someone else or u received??? Or u abducted it fromgoogle???

infact depending on who you're telling that **** to you could cause someone some damage similar to lernrach's experience, now that experience off a machine is dangerous enough but on a treadmill mid way at full pace you're talking serious injury... and if someone takes it as fact and doesn't deviate for a week because no…

married to a scientist... always happy to help, will def sign up.. Good luck

isn't it a matter of each to their own?? Last week, went to gym straight from work at 12:30, having not eaten for about 4 hrs. had an awesome workout..... until I blacked out, like totally!!!! took me a long while till I was strong enough to get up, had to eat chocolate (said the trainer in the gym!!!) and for rest of day…

literally like those old fashioned "movie books" wehre u flip fast and it all changes.... good for u

anyone say you shouldn't??? i am debating....

congrats to all of u that have lost as much as u have! This is going to sound silly, but psychologically, I like to finish my day "under." If I eat back yesterday calories, today, then I will be "over" I will have to get over it I suppose!! I will definitely give it a try.... I am a teacher - being hungry and moody is not…

In real terms, it is just about the calories... as in, the input vs the output. however, certain foods triggers you to want to eat more, certain sugars etc. Also, if you sit with a portion of chips on the table, you work out you can only eat 10 to fit in with your allowance, your unlikely to be able to stop there... Aside…

No Scale Victory.... As in, something u see in ur life that happened as a result of your weight loss, aside from the numbers...

I am so so sorry... I wrote u a whole PM but then thought I should write it in public, seeing as I singled you out in public... In no way did I mean anything like that, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, nor embarrass you. I had no idea about your loss, and I actually have tears coming down my face reading what you…

I'm a Londoner, add me with pleasure, happy to be supportive :-D

oooohhh thanks people, u have genuinely made my day! it can really be quite frustrating sometimes, working this hard and seeing it get worse... but i suppose such is life!!! meanwhile I shall carry on eating broccoli and lifting 1million kg weights, and hope that someday, somehow, I may just look slightly slimmer :-D

first of all, JuliusKitty, be very careful about reccomending things that worked for u... Just because they work for one, does not mean they work for other, and they raise hopes, which are then dashed, making whole process even harder... OP - I am so sorry to hear what you are going through... I too have PCOS, as well as a…

Ye, its squishy :-D oooohhh that's encouraging, I hope that is the case... From your mouth to my scales ears :p I not sure I want to just stop doing weight training @Waldo as I am afraid of going back to square one.... I think I prefer to have this "new" fat for a little and then eventually lose it, then risk stopping…

I think we are talking semantics here... what one person calls a cheat, another calls a treat... What one person calls over eating for teh day, the other says "I am lookng at whole week so I can afford to go over today.." ALthough a sweet analogy, it doesn't quite work does it. I can get…

I log everything I eat, as well as my cardio exercise, not my lifting, and I am in calorie deficit! I thought that doing it this way, I should lose the fat, and gain the muscle... im hoping this is a temporary thing! I thought perhaps could be as my muscle is more defined, it makes it look like fat is softer? does that…

Wow u really look great! I am same height and started at 172 so very similar to u.... Thank u for the inspiration... Can't wait to have a waist like urs :p

I set myself a goal of 2,500 calories burnt on cardio.... As in excluding weight training etc. I started Saturday so.... Sat: 430- running and step machine Sunday 450 running and step machine Total- 880, 1670 to go....

I been diverting much of my life, but startd here precisely 46 days ago... When I went on scales after a week, I had out on, despite exercising properly, reducing calories in a big way erx. I wanted to quit, my hubby didn't let!! To cut a long story short, I didn't go on scales for 3 weeks, I just dieted hard.... Then went…

i have this issue too. I plan in my head what other food I am going to eat that day, write it all down at the beginning including the cheat.... If I end up going over, I tell myself I have to go over at the gym, its as simple as that... You can do it... it takes time, will power and effort... also, once you see it coming…

Really? In what world did you think this is a sensible thing to post???? Do you think prior to people drinking aspartame, there were no cases of any of those health conditions that you listed? DId you sit and think, OH, wait, I know a way of showing much sympathy and care to all the people that suffer from auto immune…

feel free to add me too... I am 27, been ttc for about 18 months now. I'm not hugely obese - am 5 7 and 168.... but am carrying on my weight loss journey to see if that could be the answer, as I don't want to start with IUI yet... good luck people, you can do it Rachel xx

I have a 30 second break between reps, and then I write it down as circuit training... However, I write down that I did half the time I actually did, because I think that MFP over estimates. I found that if I didnt eat back those calories, I spent the whole rest of day craving food, even had a blacking out session.... I…

Hey, I too have PCOS and am ttc. It's been about 18 months, and treatment not helping. I have an HSG booked for tomorrow, and my followup appointment in about 3 weeks. I have lost some weight already, but by that appointment, I want there to be a noticeable change in my size. I don't want the dr to ever say that he can't…

So I go to a gym that is mainly for guys. Not sure why that is, but there rarely seems to be girls there... I specially try and wear the ugliest combination of clothing that I can, because I often watch the guys sit and eye up girls, talk about them when they think no one can hear/see (I'm a teacher, I hear everything!!!)…

really amazing, good for u x

so, obviously I know its better to do water exercise etc. However, my problem with it all is first of all I HATE being in a pool with other ppl! I get all OCD about cleanliness and feel gross about it. Also, and I realise that it is a mental attitude to have, but I want to be able to do what other people do!!!! I don't…

I'm sorry.... I have the same! I have stopped running for over a week already and it still not gone. I have been advised to rest, elevate etc. I have been rubbing in one of those ibuprofen gels and it seems to be easing pain, but tried running again but had to stop! Be careful X

Thank u people for all your advice! The spreadsheet made me chuckle co my hubby puts his whole life on those kind of spreadsheets and I always make fun and now I see he not the only one!!! I don't mean to say I going on a binge for the next month as a result of birthday! I am being sensible the next few days in order to…
