As suggested is it impossible for you to get a p/t job so you can buy your own groceries? You should really focus on yourself and you would need to change how you see problems, ratehr than see them as insurmountable and start blaming others, just accpet thats the situation and adapt. As losing weight is all about calories…

This is more illuminating. Do you use music? Have you tried other forms of exercise, other machines or classes? HIIT? Sports? I know a bit of where you are coming from, but to kill the boredom then its a bit of what everyone was saying= focus and know why, easier if you do something you enjoy, bit of just get on with it. I…

what they all said find soemthing that involves movement which you cna put up with, it doesnt have to be the gym. Have you worked out what it is about the gym that makes you dislike it? Find that out and then you will be closer to your solution.

You didnt gain your weight by eating at a deficit. Just because you eat low calorie foods sint a gauarantee of whether you are at deficit or surplus. Im not really sure you get the whole way cico and nutrition work.

Id go with the dont sweat one days results, dont draw conclusions from just a weeks data. Tbh it was hard understanding what you wanted to say or your point. I kept thinking of an answer and then you changed track again and again. Do you wnat to list a maybe make clear questions you want answers to?

Lol why of she likes it and cna make it fit her calorie allowance?

I dont really watch them. I did happen to see supersize me and laughed at the bit with detoxing. They are interesting, but I think i can sort fact from fiction. It does draw attention to eating a balanced diet and the problem of obesity though. I did fancy the idea of eating a lot of McDs without the calorie limitation.

Obviously your idea isnt good enough as the results show. just tighten your logging to give you the max chance of being at deficit. Exercise helps as well and can be more influential the more you do. It does take a lot to burn calories, but it shouldnt be ruled out or belittled in the contribution it cna make.

whatever works for you, but just prepare your mind for the eventuality that the number is now what you had hoped for at the end. Know how to deal with that. Will you be using other performance measures such as exercise and tape measure?

well done, im glad you are smiling in each one, but i get the impression theres a bit more knowledge and confidence in the most recent.

1. Targets , especially random ones can end ip undermining people. Was it realistic, is it important is it worth getting frustrated about? 2. Learn patience its only been two weeks and weight loss is not linear. 3. The see sawing may well be fluctuations, learn how they work so you cna see things in perspective. 4. You are…

Be calm and dont stress, it will just take a bit longer. Walking or swimming would be my suggestion, but gentle low impact execises at home can get you moving. You should also know even small weight losses early on can give you big health benefits. The time for the gym can come later. Pacing yourself and being your own…

I found this thread insightful and encouraging. I understand the importance of logging, but it is a bit dull and its nice to see people maintaining without it.

Honestly you need to educate yourself on nutrution. people have been helpful but your current level of understanding is making it difficult for you to understand how weight loss really works. Everyone wants to lose only fat, the best way of maximising that is to eat at a deficit and also lift , so that you retain the…

What they all said about muscle adaption as opposed to gaining muscle and the suggested programs. Personally i'd balance that off with cardio, but its up to you. Try and find some that you enjoy if gym cardio isnt your thing.

Im always amazed by how few calories ice cream has in it compared to other things. Id switch down to frozen yoghurt. Sometimes people ry to mimic real food and for me it goes too far and id have the real thing just less of it or if I had to exercise more.

Could you not just go and walk or exercise for 71 calories then eat one?

I have no problem citing that because I said a minimum, obviously there are higher levels to hit, especially if you are lifting, but its a good enough starting point and is aimed at people being seriously deficient. Some peoples diets are poor enough to fail to meet those tragets. A balanced and varied diet will tend to…

Agree she should oook at her options and treatment, but then weigh that up against other optons or activities that may give her the same enjoyment or results. If shes indifferent as to whether she runs, its more the cardio burn she wants, then no harm at looking at other forms of exercise.

My absolute go to meal. Its cheap as well. Awesome stuff. Btw you lot that have it with water, I really dont know why. Lol@ the cripplefight.

Deficit deficit deficit. What you eat and how much is most importnat. Its good you have the consistency with exercise and thats helped, but its the deficit and most importnatly the one from consumption that is the key. Learn about basic nutrition, eat things you like and ht your calorie goals. I prefer a variety of fruit…

You need to experiment between having something or nothing. Its pesonal choice. I prefer something rather than fasted. My go to are oats, greek yoghurt, dried fruit, peanut butter and the amazing banana. If i find myself flagging then I have stuff on hand, but i cna do quite long gym sessions. If you are doing workouts…

Or she could have just wanted to give you the bigger picture about how things arent ideal and where it all fits in. I really do find your posts unpleasant and unhelpful. You really are a fantasist making the situation fit your preconcieved ideas about how all this is working out and tbh the only person who knows is the…

Because your not being patient and you arent at consistent deficit. review your logging and the accuracy of your deficit creation.

Dont worry too much about macros, focus primarily on your deficit. Make sure you arent deficient in things like fibre 18g+ per day and protein a min of 46g the rest will take care of itself, especially if you eat a balanced diet.

First tighten your logging, then look at increasing the intensity and duration of exercise. Maybe the variety. The slowdown is natural.

Yes you should google things, what you should really do is take care on your research and analysis when reaching your conclusions.

Understand why you want to lose weight, understand what it involves and requires of you to do. Decide whether you are prepared to follow those patterns of behaviour. Just do it. You are either motivated enough and willing to commit or you are not. Take baby steps anddo small things towards your goal, building on that and…

Its straigtforward and id agree with the first poster is that there are plenty of things you cna do to make it easier for yourself. People make it harder than it needs to be. Keep it simple, learn how to do it properly by reading the stickies, control your deficit, be your own friend, be patient and commit. Measure using a…

I normally think, do they know how straightforward it is to lose weight and if i see them struggling I think of all that weight on their body/ heart. I know how unhappy it can make some and how unhealthy it can be. If i see them in the gym it enocourages me and I hope they keep going. I'm quite empathetic irresp[ective of…
