I think I kind of know what you're going through. I was wanting to bulk and for a while I was not counting cals, just eating well and plenty and now im on my 7th week. Then my family were like "Are you putting on weight?" I felt terrible about myself, given I was working pretty hard! and I felt tempted to start cutting…

I would eat maintenance, or if you want to do a deficit, a very small one so that you've got plenty of energy to fuel your workouts and for optimum recovery. I put my stats into Scoobys workshop accurate calorie calc and selected lose fat gain muscle as the goal, I eat at maintenance and so far so good (I'm on my 7th week…

I do 20 mins of bike after my workout, so I just do that before the workout if it's busy. Or I might skip squats and do deadlifts first.

It happens at home, usually at night after I've eaten a good sized proper meal, but when I'm working it also happens, as I work in a supermarket and would stress eat when I was understaffed and the store is in a tourist destination so can be very busy during some times. It doesn't even matter if I'm full or even if I made…

Sorry for your loss xx and thank you :) Im going to try and do that, it feels pathetic a bit because today already I've only got 400cals for dinner so will likely go a bit over, but I've logged it all so far and will try and do it everyday and make sure I have to log all the binges no matter what. It should eventually make…

Aww you did help. It is nice to know you're not alone :) I totally get what you mean...it feels bizarre to have have achieved all that stuff, and now my nice new clothes won't even fit already. I couldnt see much change while it was happening, so I was able to keep doing it until it was just like oh...yeah these jeans…

Not sure which ones you mean? I'll try whatever in case... 5'9", 71kg. Before I stopped logging I was on 1900 cal goal and exercising 3-4x a week + active job (over 10k steps everyday) Now I'm exercising 3-4x a week, but inactive with job (less hours over winter)

I need carbs, I'm a runner heh. And I think that'd probably make me wanna binge worse if I restricted things.

I think it might be that a bit. I think somehow this logging everyday has just created a bit of an obsession, mixed with some other issues going on in my life in the past 4 months-lost 4 year relationship, working 50 hours a week, studying final year uni, new relationship etc I feel like yeah maybe I need to get some…

It's usually pretty balanced, this whole time. I eat everything, but at the moment pretty terrible with the binging, like even if I start out the day going well and plan out what I'm going to have so that it'd be within my calories and have decent food with some treats in there if I get room for it, I'll pretty much end up…

I generally don't use a low bench, I bought a skipping rope cheat at Kmart and I substitute dumbbells or even loose weight plates as medicine balls and stuff, also use steps in my garden!

I've found one thing that makes it easier, is using the TDEE method as opposed to the NEAT or eating the fitbit calories back, because then you can just plan ahead what to have for your whole day, exercise is already counted, and it won't be going up throughout your day with your exercise, which means normally that you're…

Mine went down by 5kgs. I'm now about 4kg off it ,but have decided that maybe i'm more interested in focusing on how things look from now on, like when I get to the point where i'm feeling really happy with how I look naked, whatever weight that is, i'll be happy with. And it doesn't bother me if it's more than I…

Nope. Because when you eat has no impact on weight loss, it's generally how much you eat that counts. However, If I am intending to weigh myself in the morning, I probably won't eat too late because I know that will give a heavier reading.

I'm looking to start round 1 in November after my uni exams. Feel free to add me if you want to help support each other :)

I've worn a hrm once lol. It did not burn many calories.

I said within reason. I don't mean people starving to have one.

I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting a thigh gap (within reason) I mean, if you're overweight and never seen anything like collar bones, ankle bones, etc on yourself, it can become something you're happy to see and that you like. I like having collarbones for the first time and have a teeny tiny bit of a…

Apparently those people who eat late at night typically are over eating more calories than they need to, so that is why they gain weight. Also they are more likely to be eating higher cal foods later at night. Its not the time on the clock, it's that eating fistfuls of chips out of a packet will send you over your…

I found trying to keep things enjoyable as possible makes the whole weight loss process more simple and something you'll be motivated to stick with long term. How to make it more enjoyable? Interacting with others here is definitely what kept me coming back and logging in-I had nobody else who was trying to lose weight and…

Personally, I set out my food diary in different increments like 10am, 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and I log a day or two ahead. I start off by working out what I will eat for dinner, then lunch and breakfast, and so then sacks can be slotted in depending on what is left to fit in according to my macro's and calories- treats go here.…

Great work! that's definitely motivational, right there! very cute print too :)

Good on you for recognising the importance of changing things for the better while still young :) I'm really glad I did. I'm 25, started here when I was 24 after all that time being inactive and eating whatever I wanted. I'm so happy I've managed to make huge changes in my life and lasted this long and looking to keep…

That Margaery girl off GoT, forgot her name! :(

I accepted that motivation sometimes doesn't last, that it is something I need to keep on working on and around, especially now when closer to goal. Probably most of us will face a period where motivation drops. Sometimes, when we see how far off our goal weight/look etc is, we lose a little motivation because we've…

Turn offs: Guys with shirtless pics. Don't give a crap how hot you think you look, it's douchey. Turn ons: Beards (not too crazy long though or I start thinking about the poo particles...)

If he's not directly speaking me, I'd just ignore :P Hate when people speak to me at the gym period...I'm super introverted so I just go into my own world.
