Some great answers in this thread. I have just exceeded my goal weight and I am now focusing on maintenance but don't want my weight to spiral too low as it has done in the past. My main goal is to keep up the exercise but to eat more and still eat healthily. I seem to have an issue when I loose weight in that I often end…

I never used to eat breakfast, I decided to start trying and now I eat breakfast but don't eat any lunch lol I just can't eat both! I do nibble though on nuts and healthy snacks and graze all day until dinner that works for me its just about finding what feels good for you!!!

I have the same problem. Don't forget about the high caffeine content as well, that contributes even more to how addictive it is. Not to mention all the artificial colors and other crap. Its tough though, I go months without drinking it, but when I do drink it I want more and more and more!! If its in my house I'll drink…

I hit size zero when I was about 19 but not in a healthy manor. As others have stated your frame will determine whether you could ever be a size zero or not... but generally speaking, its not an ideal size goal! Some people will get there healthily and remain healthy at that size and DO have the frame for that size but…

Here are a few things I dragged up from the internet about aspartame... An article from the New england journal of medicine on the "Effects of Diets High in Sucrose or Aspartame on The Behavior and Cognitive Performance of Children" The study concluded "Even when intake exceeds typical dietary levels, neither dietary…

if the scales deflate your confidence... ditch them for a few weeks or even longer and try measuring... you have to learn to accept that fluctuations of 2/3 pounds are NORMAL and there isn't anything you can do about it all you need care about is the long term as everyone says... water weighs a lot and you need lots of it!…

I struggle when I am on my period but mine are very heavy and painful! I find doing yoga though makes me feel a million times better. I have done yoga many times with painful periods and by the end the pain is gone! Then I do a more vigorous workout but I tend not to bust my balls as much when I am on my period =P

I have a similar problem. To be honest I wouldn't worry to much about the natural sugars your eating as long as you not going crazy with it! 2-3 pieces of fruit a day I think is fine, I don't even count those into my daily sugar amount. I would be mostly concerned with lowering your intake of refined sugars to no more then…

I am doing 30DS 5 days on and 2 days off (weekends) because I am way to busy but also because I have some knee and back issues so I need the time off otherwise I can barely move! I found day 1 really easy for some reason, but from then until day 5 it got harder and harder and by day 7 I felt my body starting to get…

Drinking alcohol and trying to loose weight/living a healthy lifestyle do not mix. Its that simple. Not to say drinking the odd wine or beer here or there will hurt, but weekly drinking or more should be avoided. It is worth trying to make "healthier" choices though. I used to mostly drink gin and tonics and vodka and soda…

In the mornings, whenever I am feeling "lighter" lol. I try hard not to get freaked out by fluctuations but I do find them frustrating even if it probably is only the water I have drank up to that point!

Thanks guys! I will definitely book an appointment with my doctor about this. My tail bone is feeling a bit better but I need to get to the bottom of this. I think it was the squats in the level 1 30DS that aggravated my lower back and knees maybe because I was doing them badly. I don't let my knees bend over my toes like…

This. It could be high blood pressure. Get your blood pressure taken asap to rule that out. Obviously as everyone else has said you need to go to the doctor before something potentially more serious happens, thats if it is something serious in the first place which chances are it is not, but it is not worth the risk is it?

I have similar issues. In my early twenties my face was really nice and slim. I felt pretty with a nice jaw line, high cheek bones and big eyes! I weighed much more then I do now, but now at age 26 my face (to me) looks much rounder, my eyes smaller and my jawline nonexistent! I would describe the face I see looking back…

I can only speak from my own experience... I have drunk green tea for years and It is my belief that it helps me to loose weight and maintain a healthy weight but I am sure many will say its just not true. I would say though, you need to get good quality stuff! Not just the tea bag stuff in the supermarket, I would invest…

If the pains really bad take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen or aspirin to help you move around easier and ease the pain. You must rest it though! What good will it do to carry on exercising and then cause a more severe injury? Look out for bruising, swelling, pain and tenderness. If you find any of…

This. Because exercising for your health is SUCH a waste of time... only bother exercising if your on a PROPER diet...

Thank you! Firefox, I never thought of looking for sugar free chocolate! I tried finding some today in sainsburys and couldn't find any but I did find some in Holland and Barratts (UK) but only single bars and they are really expensive (but super delicious!) thanks for the tip! Thanks rhonnie thats good advice also, I…

Oh man! Alcohol is the WORST thing for creating unhealthy cravings. I know how you feel! Sometimes I drink a little to much on saturday and wake up with a hangover on sunday and all I want is pizza, cola, pastry, burgers, fat, fat, fat and extra sugar! I am well disciplined though and don't give in to the cravings anymore.…
-
Thanks! Lot's of great advice. To be fair, about half the sugar in my diet comes from fruits but the rest comes from chocolate (I eat about 4 squares of dark chocolate a day), honey which I sweeten my teas with (not sure if that counts as refined sugar) and worst of all, fizzy pop and alcoholic drinks. I don't drink those…

water weight!!!?? just a thought... think about it... 453.6 ml of water equals 1 lb, thats 16 oz an average bottle of water weighs 500ml thats about 1lb so if your drinking a lot and perhaps extra because you are working out that will show up on the scales I guess the best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the…

I cheat a little at weekends but I don't go from healthy everyday too eating a bunch of crap. That kind of extreme can't be good, not to say people shouldn't treat themselves from time to time. I stay strict on certain foods and still don't eat stuff like soda, pastry, fast food and crisps but I may go on a night out…
