Frozen red grapes They are really sweet, take a while to eat because you kinda have to suck them to defrost and there are only about 120 cals in 2 cups, which is a huge amount!

A healthy weight for you is around 11-12 stone based on your height. Based on your activity levels, to lose around 1-2kg per week you would want to be eating 2300-2500 calories.

- First thing in the morning after you go to the bathroom, and naked. - No stress on the joints, do whatever gets your heart rate up - Calories restriction - Both - 30 mins cardo, 30 mins weights focusing on upper body vs lower body 3+ times a week

Given how much pain you're in I'd agree with seeing a doctor! You're probably better off using machines with less impact, ideally exercise or recumbent bike as you do can cardio without jarring caused by running/walking on non-seated machines. For weights, until you get confident, I'd recommend doing two or three different…

I would really recommend getting a personal trainer, even if just for one session. Use internet/Youtube to find out how to do the "basics," i.e. lunges, squats etc. Machines are less intimidating compared to free weights and it's harder to have bad form. Just jump on a few and seems what right. Do three sets of reps at a…

Each person is different, thin people are not necessarily flexible, but becoming thinner does make you more flexible. I could always touch my toes etc., since I've lost weight can very easily press palms flat to the floor, I'm sure I've always been flexible but being thinner makes it easier to bend :_

Exercise bike for cardio, always gets heart rate up. Lunges with kettlebells are my favourite weight exercise.

A good rule of thumb is to do three sets of 10, and struggle to do the last three reps of each set. The weight will vary by person and exercise. Everyone is different, just do what works for you :)

I try to stick to low carb, not super strict though I think it is most successful because cutting out carbs and flour cuts out most junk food. Bread, pizza, cake etc. So you just make better choices and fill up on lean protein and veggies. Has worked for me, though still a fair bit to go for me

Yes, it is all calories in, calories out. But very quickly you learn that cycling for 30mins is not worth a single slice of pizza. At least I did once I started seeing how many calories in everything.

When I get under 120kgs, new running shoes. When I get under 100kgs, spa day and massage. When I get under 80kgs, night out looking totally hot :)

Tell the gym what kind of trainer you want. They will have a range of trainers available. Some will be the macho, push weights, push you until you die etc., but every gym will have the "nice" trainers. Best bet is to call the gym, explain what sort of trainer you'd like, and they can recommend someone.

It's the best thing I've ever done. It is very nerve wrecking going in the first time. But just remember, no one is looking at you. No one. Everyone is doing their own thing. I really recommend getting a personal trainer, if only for a session or two, to give you an idea of what workouts suit you. Do what you enjoy. I HATE…

I guess I'm one of those people. I usually eat 800 - 1000 cals, on days I work out this results in a net of 500 usually. I log fairly close, maybe 100cals a day extra in small things I don't log. I am concerned that this is low... but I'm not actively trying to eat so low it just kind of comes out like that. But it's…

No need to be rude. I imagine a fair few people on here have sought expert advice before and wondering if it's normal because this small amount of calories goes against everything I've read about. Was asking if someone has had a similar experience and if it's safe or healthy to eat so few calories.

Technology makes things easier, but isn't the be all and end all. You do obviously have some internet access, is logging daily an option for you? Writing down everything you eat is really, really important. Then either log when you have internet or you will be able to cheaply buy a book that details calories in food. It…

Dessert: Get a large apple, cut into big chucks, simmer a little bit of water until soft, into an oven proof dish (muffin tray works), add some cinnamon top with a very small amount of oats, coconut mixed with half a teaspoon of margarine and sprinkle some equal or sugar substitute over the top. As long as you use a VERY…
