I have a different experience to most others. I never got over my anxiety in the gym, after a while I started to not want to go and it was not going well. I would hate it when there were people behind me or next to me - I know they don't care but I have social anxiety. I'm sure you will be fine and you will learn to ignore…

Great ideas, thanks for sharing! I brought two big boxes of oats last year from Costco but I now have low carb breakfasts so I haven't really used much of it. I will definitely be giving this a go

I can see quite a few of you have said you exercise at home. I exercise at home however in the winter, it's still dark out when I wake up and I really struggle to get out of bed. I get up between 30 - 45 minutes earlier than when I exercise, so it's very tempting to stay in bed. Does anyone have any tips for this?

I am on about the same but I usually end up with closer to 1400. I have small meals as I need quite a few snacks especaially in the afternoon to keep my blood sugar stable. I usually have a small breakfast that's high in protein like greek yoghurt with fruit or eggs. For lunches I generally have salads, soups or leftovers.…

My mini goal is to get under 144. This morning I weighed in at 146. This time last year I was doing so well on my journey and got down to 144 which was my smallest in years, so I am hoping to pass this and continue forwards.

I don't have prediabetes but i do have an issue with my blood sugar. The biggest change that helped me was swapping to lower carb breakfasts. I grew up eating cereal or toast for breakfast. Now i tend to have eggs cooked in a variety of ways, greek yoghurt with berries or chia pudding. Whichever ones i don't have for…

My next mini goal is to lose another 3 pounds. This will bring me under my weight this time last year - I put on weight over winter, and have been working on it this year. Then after this goal, further weight loss will be hitting entirely new figures!

I am on 1200 because of my height and I eat any exercise calories back. For breakfast my recent go to is either greek yoghurt with fruit, or chia pudding. Sometimes 'egg muffins' or at the weekend I will have some cereal like cornflakes. For lunches I tend to eat salads, soups, or leftovers from the day before. Dinner I…

I don't see this as bad or fat-shaming at all. My BMI lists me as obese. I come from a fairly poor family in the UK and grew up eating rubbish, chicken nuggets out of the freezer, microwave burgers etc. Not so much fast food as it's not as cheap here. Only one of my parents worked so time was not a factor. It was…

I'm 4"10 and my goal weigh is around 110 depending on how I feel once I'm closer to the goal. I'm currently 150 down from 165.

I use the add meal option rather than the recipe builder. I add all of my ingredients by scanning and weighing. I usually make 4 portions at a time, so when I add this to my diary I set the portion size to 0.25. It is a bit of a pain for new meals but when you make it again it will all be saved and you can just tweak…

I'm 4"10 and currently around 151. My current goal is to get into the low 40's but my overall goal will be lower

Personally I only use my Fitbit to track exercise so I go by what it says. I do eat back less calories than it says as I think it overestimated calories from walking

My current weird thing is to slice up a banana and microwave it for about 45 seconds. Sometimes I add some mixed spices to it. Goes all gooey and delicious but my colleagues think I'm crazy!

Where are you from? I'm in the UK and the same size as you, I use the Shock Absorber ultimate run bra. It's the best sports bra I've tried.

I'm kind of the opposite. I'm awkward in real life until I feel comfortable with someone. But then online or via message I feel I come across cold and awkward! I work in an office and sometimes I have to rewrite my emails to make them nicer :#

For cupboard food I'd recommend microwave rice or cous cous with a tin of fish e.g tuna or salmon

My petty reason at the moment is a family holiday in August. I've never been the largest out of my group of friends, but I am out of my extended family.

Derby here, feel free to add :smile:

This sounds great! I've applied a bit last minute,hope I get accepted :smile:

Well done!

I must be weird, I like my porridge plain! Half a cup each of oats, milk and water. Maybe some cinnamon of I'm feeling fancy

I've been making egg muffins lately. Just mix eggs and anything else you want and cook for about 15 mins. I've been having bacon and leek in mine this week but you can have spinach, other meat or veggies

Well done! I am also a morning person. I don't go to the gym but I do videos at home in the morning. I find it helps my motivation for the day because I've already got one thing down before I've even started work!

I'd like to join! I started losing weight last year and went from about 165 to 145. I then had a few months where I stalled and then over the winter I put on a few pounds again. My current weight is 150 and my goal weight isn't set, I'm aiming for around 125 but it depends how I feel comfortable. I struggle with reactive…

Well done! You look so much younger and happier in the after photos.

I am also Taylor! I'm 25, 4"10 and have about 30 pounds left to lose. Feel free to add me, I have an open diary to friends.

I'm similar, I'm 4"10 and my goal weight is 125. I currently weigh 151. My progress started well, I lost about 15 but haven't had any progress since the autumn. I actually put on 6 pounds over Christmas so I'm working on that for now! Feel free to add me, I have an open diary.

I aim for around 1200, I have my diary open to friends so feel free to add

I like fitnessblender mostly for strength snd hiit but they do other things too.
