I hope you don't mind me adding some of you as friends, as I've been following her for years and recently been doing daily yoga :)

Fit active bread sounds perfect ! 40 calories is half :open_mouth:

I haven't been diagnosed or anything but I binge eat in my opinion. The issue with me is I binge eat with anything in the cupboard whether it's healthy or not haha. It's like someone else takes over your brain and tells you to do it and you get this sort of anger and defensiveness to anyone who makes a comment about it.…

I am currently looking into the Garmin vívoactive smart watch, it's 50M water proof and has a swimming option where it tracks your swimming. Maybe it might be good for you? I wanted a device that tracks running and swimming as those are the two things I am trying to do.

That's such an amazing example! I too feel big and I'm 136lbs (62kgs) at 5'8. It's because I have 0 muscle and so I am flabby and giggly! :pensive: Will definitely work on toning ! :)

If only it was that easy :P

I do the same thing!! I will count calories and as soon as I'm a few kg's lighter and look better I get in the mind frame that I can eat a treat, which turns into 2 and then next minute I've over eaten the whole week. I think we need to refocus those feelings on something different, like new clothes or a treat that isn't…

I lost weight on 1200 before and so I wanted to try it again this year.. I found myself feeling extremely hungry, tired, crazy cravings and just over all in a bad mood. I was confused because I was able to do it 3 years ago and now It seems impossible. I reevaluated my goals, and now I am eating around 1,700 calories and…

I want to start running, but I'm scared :S The last time I was running I only ever got to 4km and It was always super painful and I hated it. I get told you love it once you pass a certain point, can't say I've reached that before haha. Can I start just by jogging on the treadmill?

like 90% vanity and 10% to have more energy haha!

When I first started counting calories, I would have days where I would binge eat and would put in the calories only to be shocked and then take some out afraid people would judge my dairy LOL.

My mother has bipolar, words and advice don't help. Unfortunately in her case she had to see many doctors until she finally was on the correct prescription of medication. If you are depressed and suffering from bipolar I suggest you seek help before trying to lose weight because you're not going to just succeed through…

You're putting in the effort to count calories to lose weight in the first place (I'm assuming that's why you're counting calories) and yet you're not willing to maybe get healthier with your drinking? I do drink alcohol however it really should be an occasional thing, not a daily thing especially if it means you're…

Yes! Perth :smile:

Added!! :D

I wish I was still losing 2lbs a weeks :P I'm currently at a low weight so my process has slowed by a lot! only losing 0.5lbs or less a week :( .. It's not just going to fall off unfortunately, we all wish!

I have one and find it really useful, I have an active job and twice a week I do 10 hour shifts which is an average of 15,000-20,000 steps but when I have my 2 days off it's only 5,000 which is about accurate. It also has similar calories burned than If i put in a calculator online. It says my maintenance is around 2000 on…

To be honest, I don't really understand what you want me to do with that information? How am I meant to measure myself with those methods

I said fitness as in Exercise plan. I want to build strength and not be "skinny fat". Toned and strong. As for my Body fat %, I did a basic online calculation which was apparently wrong so If you have a test that I can use I'll give that a go and let you know - JoRocka Also the 30 min gym session is solo, however my sister…

Interesting. I'm 5'8 at 57kg and hold most of my weight in my legs so If i do a basic body fat % test it says 14.7%. Basically I just want my body to be exactly the same size except firm and not giggly because I am exactly as you say "skinny fat" haha So If I continue to eat at 2000 calories, I can still lose fat and show…

If I were to eat 2000 calories a day (maintenance ranging 2100-2700 because of my active job on some days) and lift 3 times a week at the gym also including an abs and pilates class will I gain muscle at all?. Ive been told to eat at a surplus to gain muscle and fat and then cut to lose weight but keep muscle. Is that the…

I just posted asking about this earlier today and was told to eat at a surplus if I wanted to build muscle. How is it you are all eating under and still building muscle?

Alright, that makes sense. How long Do I eat at a surplus and do I cut just once and go to maintenance after and keep lifting to keep the amount of muscle I want? Sorry if this question sounds stupid.

Sorry, I just interpreted your comment harshly by how you opened it. If that's not the case than I apologize and thank you for replying to my questions. If I were to eat at a surplus, while working out 3 times a week like I plan, what will happen exactly? Will my fat % decrease or will I look bigger? I'm just afraid of…

I said lean as in toned, not bulk. I don't want to bulk up I just don't want my legs and stomach to giggle. I don't want to lose any more weight because I like my shape I just want to replace the fat with toned muscle. You don't need to reply so harshly either I was asking advice because I don't know that much but that…

My partner and I are hopeless at dieting together, if one of us gives in the other follows hahaha.

So true and relates to me!! I always give up once the motivation leaves me :( It's the emotional push that helps you get through it but once it's gone you have to rely on pushing yourself which is the real challenge. Hoping that I can do it this time haha

I binge eat emotionally, so even when I have a normal amount of calories sometimes it's just really hard to stop. The only thing that's made me prevent binges is to not allow it to begin. I don't buy snack foods, When my partner wants to get fast food I say no thank you and going out to dinner I make sure I don't ask for…
