  • I want my body 8 years ago. I am down to my goal weight, give or take a few lbs but I still have a wobbly tummy. My legs and arms are exactly where I want them to be but I'm really struggling with this gut!! :(
  • Hi. SAHM over here :) my boys are 10 and 4yrs. I have always had to work unfortunately but thanks to OH getting a big promotion, I'm taking 3 months off and loving it...most of the time anyway! ;) I still haven't lost the baby weight from 4 years ago!! ☹️ now I have a bit more time on my hands and one of my best friends…
  • I treat myself everyday. On a good day, it's just a small chocolate bar and on a bad day it's a few cookies or an ice cream but i never go over my calories and am half way to my goal weight...so your work colleagues can shove that in their pipe and smoke it! ;) in my opinion, taking such a strict approach to healthy eating…
  • I've been doing power wave for a month now...since a friend of mine became an instructor. Their website says you can burn anything between 300-700 cals so I enter it as 375 on days that we do moves that feel more like strength training and 450 on the days she has me jumping around and out of breath! Not very scientific I…

  • I worked mine out using the calculator on this website- iifym.com. My friend suggested mine for me saying I should aim for the same as we're the same height and about the same weight but I was really struggling to hit my protein goals. I think hers a higher as she's a personal trainer and I don't think I need S much…

  • I was a big emotional eater! But, I'm now a month in to my 'healthy eating/diet' and my mind now works the opposite way! If I give in to the junk food cravings now, I feel sluggish and down, sometimes I even feel sick! So when that cake is looking at me, I remind myself of how crappy I'm going to feel if I eat it. I find…
  • My carbs are normally over on non gym days but thought that would fill me up better? I didn't enter how much I wanted to lose per week just put in current weight and goal weight and it gave me 1200 per day. I don't really care how long it takes to lose the weight especially as I'm doing much better than I expected. Just…
  • Hi, I have 2 boys aged 8 and 2. After my first, the weight just fell off. I got rid of that last 10-15lbs with swimming when he was a little older. We'd take it in turns swimming/playing with baby. With my second I was a little more laid back. I put on loads of weight when pg!! I lost it all eventually after i went back t…
  • I haven't given anything up because I know one day I will fall off the wagon big time and scoff! Lol I had a sort of addiction to crisps (potato chips to the Americans on here) so I have cut down massively. I would eat them for breakfast! Now I probably only have a small bag once a week and a low calorie option bag. I've…
  • Thanks for all your replies guys :) a quick update- the last few days I have not eaten all my calories back. It wasn't on purpose, was just busy and think my appetite is shrinking maybe? As I said, normally I have 1200 calories and days I go the gym I burn around 500 so was eating 1700 on those days. I have been leaving…
  • Hi, I'm from Kent/London borders. Feel free to add x
  • I'm just over 9st and want to get down to 8 and a half. I don't feel hungry on 1200 cal's, I just miss chocolate :( lol I used to work in a restaurant running around non stop for at least 8 hours a day but now I spend most of my working day driving or sitting in meetings so now go to the gym 3/4 times a week burning around…
  • Lol that's what my fitness pal is telling me. I am a 5ft 1 female and naturally small which is why the smallest amount of weight really shows on me :(
  • I'm going to be brutally honest here but the main reason is because I don't want to be disappointed when I look in the mirror. Before my children, I was one of those lucky people who never had to watch what I ate and I worked a lot of hours in a physically challenging job. Of course I am enjoying he other benefits of being…
