I find myself struggling getting to 10,000. I have quite an inactive job, translating at a desk. Often up to 12 hours a day. With the remaining time, I find it hard to get to that 10,000. Any advice?

I say "no thanks", but often get annoyed and even angry at people having this food around me. I know it sounds silly, but I can get frustrated with people eating something they should not have, since it could jeopardise their health. At other times, I crack and give in. Feeling horrible afterwards of course.

I've lost 4 stone and gained 3 stone back. I could say that it was due to stress, but at the end of the day, I know I did it to myself. I also know what it is like to gain back weight and how it can impact your motivation to start again. What helped me tremendously to get back on the diet and exercise wagon is creating a…

Bexleyheath, so reasonably close.

I don't really reward myself because I'm trying not to see this as a diet but a lifestyle change. The weight going down is the main reward in my book.

Could it be down to boredom? When I'm busy, I can stick to my diet without problems. If I get bored, I'm more likely to fall off the wagon.

Awesome tips everyone! Thanks!

Thank you :)

Just wow. It took years of you. You look absolutely stunning. Well done you!

Just curious. How did you do it? My fiancé is someone who is struggling with the underweight line... So I'm curious how you got such amazing results.

Well done. Very noticeable difference :)

Welcome back :)

I found myself not been able to go over a 3 lbs a week for some reason, even with at least an hour of exercise a day. Although, I do eat my full 1200 calories a day and I'm know to have the occasional bar of chocolate and a sugary drink, keeps me going :) I figured I'm going to stay eating like this for the rest of my…

Welcome to the happy bunch. I hope you get as many good things from Fitnesspal as I have :)

Thank you all for the tips and encouragement. Since the start of my weight loss journey, I needed to loose a little over 100 pounds, so now that I'm really sticking to it, I wanted to know what to expect. Excess skin won't stop me losing weight. I notice I feel better, have more energy and more confidence with every pound…

Hello Team Purple, My name is Sandra, aka santje00. My goal is 130 lbs and I'm currently on 193 lbs. I started my weight loss journey in March on a whopping 245 lbs. I still have a long way to go, but team purple for the win! So I will do my best to do my team proud :) My exercise consists mainly out of yoga, since I found…

Hehe, thx I'm still messing with it atm, half the codes i'm using won't work.

I'm going for 137.

Thanks girls! Now I don't feel so alone with this problem anymore. It was doing my head in, and sometimes you start to think "why does this always happen to meeee?" But obviously I'm not the only one... I'll stick to my exercise regime and diet for now and hope for the best on tuesday ;)

I know how you feel. But know you are strong and you are so much better than her. People like that are deeply unhappy themselves and therefore try and crush others. You are taking your life in your own hands, and you should be proud of that. Btw, gz on your 2 pounds well done!

Well that was a huge hint :D

I tried to pack up smoking with a previous diet, but that failed and so did my diet. I'm only concentrating on weight loss at the moment, and later on I will pack up smoking as well. It's hard to do both at the same time.

Well done! Amazing weight loss!

Yes, I did feel quite sore today, especially the back of my legs (since they aren't use to running anymore). I had a rest day today purely out of fear of injury. Also thanks everyone for the good advice. I decided to calculate in a resting day when my muscles need it. I'm also having an old dancing injury, which plays up…

You are an inspiration! You look great!

This has got to be one of the best and most inspiring transformations I ever seen. Thanks for posting!
