Don't starve! It doesn't work anyway! Like the lady above me, I find it helps to concentrate on getting lean protein and healthy fat. I try to include some in every meal and snack so that I feel satisfied and my energy doesn't peak and trough. I like to eat five small meals per day and my goal is 1470 calories net although…

I think if you're feeling good about the way you're eating, and your weight/size/whatever metric you use to measure progress is going in the right direction, then why do something that makes you anxious? If you find your progress stops or reverses, you can always count again for a day or two just to assess where you're…

Hi I'm new to this group and glad to have found it as I need some motivation for the last leg of my journey! I'm currently just in the very top of my healthy BMI range and want to lose about 8lb more to get me comfortably inside the healthy zone. But I'm more focused on body fat percentage and building strength than I am…

Eggs here too... also cottage cheese/quark, quorn, tofu - I'm vegetarian. I get through quite a lot of beans too - all types, not just the baked ones, although baked beans on toast with marmite is my comfort food.

yes. Lifting burns calories, therefore it is exercise, therefore you are expending more energy, therefore you can eat more food - indeed, depending on your current calorie intake, you may well *need* to eat more food to fuel the exercise.

Firstly, what everyone else has said about how no-one's looking at you. Secondly, all those other people at the gym were probably no fitter than you a couple years ago. Some of them are no fitter than you now (you can't accurately judge someone's fitness level by looking at them). Thirdly, you don't know what other people…

If you're saying that you lack the appetite to eat enough food to get to 1200 calories a day net, but you are nonetheless overweight, I wonder if you have a health problem that you haven't identified - something to do with your thyroid perhaps? It might be good to see your doctor. On the other hand, if you have the…

I totally love Fitness Blender. Kelli and Daniel are just so adorable! Not intimidating like so many TV trainers, so encouraging, and they explain the proper technique for doing everything so well. Such a good range of options for whatever workout you want. Am doing their four-week beginner low-impact programme and finding…

You haven't failed until you stop trying.

I'm in :) This is my first time joining a group so it's something of an experiment - I'm not a particularly sociable person as a rule, so I'll be interested to see if this works as motivation...!

If you're going to splurge then don't ruin it for yourself by feeling guilty! Either use the guilt as an incentive not to splurge again, or make the decision, own the decision, and enjoy it! One of the most useful health lessons my partner has taught me. Everyone I know who has a healthy body enjoys unhealthy food in…
