My go to workout is running. When I started, I got out of breath really easy and couldn't run very fast. I just found a speed I could stick at and I eventually improved my distance. The speed came later on.

Feel free to add me anyone :)

You could try a less fatty cut of bacon like back bacon. It'll have less calories with the lower fat content and probably more protein.

My weakness is if they're the opposite gender...

You could go off of how tight / loose your clothes feel since you lost the weight.

Measurements are a good way of reassuring yourself that you're losing fat and shrinking. The scale can sometimes show this as well, but there are a lot of other variables when you weigh yourself that can hide that loss. And then you feel upset because you think you haven't lost anything.

I only weigh myself like once a month now. I used to do it every week. But the numbers I get have a general trend of going down so I'm happy with it. I also measure myself when I weigh myself to see if I'm any smaller since it's hard to notice a difference to yourself in the mirror. Even if other people might do.

I just got mine in the post today. You need to set your stride distance. It seems to track steps pretty well. It has a built-in clock so you can wear it like a digital watch and the distance tracker just basically multiplies the steps by the stride distance you set. It comes with instructions on how to do everything. I did…

23, Male, Pretty active job (on my feet lifting heavy stuff for 37.5 hrs a week) Run 3-4 5km runs a week. I currently eat like 2800-3800 calories a day but I've been losing 1lb a week doing that. So just add 500 calories a day onto that for an estimate.

I wouldn't say you need to run. Just keep at a pace that you feel is a high enough intensity to get you breathing heavier, but you can also keep up for about half an hour. You'll notice that as you lose weight and become fitter from the exercise, you'll be able to handle faster speeds without needing to breathe heavier.…

I wouldn't say embarrassed but I often never really tell people. I've had a few people tell me they've seen the weight I've lost but unless they ask me how much I've lost, I never really say anything. Is that just me not knowing how to be proud of my achievements or just being humble?

This thread gave me cancer.

Most I've ever done is a little over 6 miles

I do 10 minutes of walking on a steep incline.

From a general point of view, diet is for weight, exercise is for fitness and wellbeing. Doing both kinda helps each other out though so exercising while losing weight will speed up your loss and switching up some things in your diet can sometimes leave you feeling like you have more energy so you can exercise more.

If you're not bothered about being outside, walking is a pretty good way to build up your fitness from a starting point. It's free, it's easy and you don't look like you're "exercising". I guess it depends on what you want to eventually build up to. I used to be really unfit, 280 lbs and couldn't do much without running…

I would say both are fine. Higher intensities obviously burn higher calories per minute. But at a lower intensity, you can probably exercise for longer for more overall calories burned but at a less efficient rate.

Clean eating is where you wash your food before you eat it. Because who wants to eat dirty food?

It doesn't hurt to add in some weights. Just do whatever you like. Personally, I can never be bothered with weights since I lift enough heavy stuff at work so I feel like I don't need it. I like running, rowing and walking.

I don't eat exercise calories. I just eat something a little before working out for energy. But as far as my exercise calories go, I don't try to eat them back if I'm not hungry.

22, male, 230lbs. I usually run at 6.5mph for 30 mins and then walk at 3mph for like 5 mins to cool down. The machine estimates about 400 kcals burnt. Whether or not that's accurate I have no idea.

Embrace the jiggling. It happens to me and I couldn't care less.

1lb a week is good. I've had my goal set to 1lb a week and I've lost about that for the past 15 months. Don't feel the need to rush yourself to lose weight. It shouldn't be a temporary fix but rather a change that you'll be able to keep to even after losing the weight.

I guess it depends on what your goals are. Cardio is great for fitness so you could use elipticals, stairmasters and rowing machines. If you wanted to strengthen your body, I'm sure there are some good lifting plans you could find online or on here. Typically, if you're new to lifting, I'd recommend sticking to the…

Hi. I'm fat. I don't wanna be fat.

Weight loss isn't linear. Look at the average weight loss over how many weeks you've been doing it for. 6 lbs in 6 weeks? That's 1 lb a week. That's pretty good. Also, don't let the scale dictate your progress. Take measurements of your body. You might find that on some weeks where you don't lose anything, you might have…

I have a similar 5k time to you (about 29 mins). I run 5k probably 3 times a week and I tend to do a 10k maybe once a fortnight. Whenever I do a 10k, I tend to have little 1 minute periods every 5 mins or so where I slow down by maybe 10% and it helps me recover from any tiredness I might be feeling.

I usually just have a drink before I go. When I'm on the treadmill, I usually just take small sips if my mouth gets dry but other than that, I usually just drink water before and after.

Weight loss isn't a race. If your goals are too much, try cutting yourself some slack and lose at a lower rate.

Protein powder / meat / yoghurt (possibly greek style) / cheese / eggs.
