I actually went to the gym this morning. As someone who is travelling for work right now, actually getting up and making it to the gym is kind of a big deal for me as I hate gyms. I know I'm going to eat like crazy on this trip (because I love to try different food when I'm travelling) so if I'm able to keep my fitness up,…

I know it's super annoying. It's always been that bad at doing the predicting and there's often people posting saying that it's super unmotivating. If you're finding it annoying/unmotivation, I would suggest not closing your diary at the end of the day. The only thing pressing that button to close your diary actually does…

Weight loss is not linear. Especially on a day to day basis. You will find that you'll be up one day and another day you'll be lower and then the day after that go back up again. Daily variations isn't what matters. It's the general trend that's important. As a person who has period, it's best to look cycle to cycle with…

Yes there is definitely a difference. Our brains suck sometimes and we can't see a difference on ourselves when there definitely is one. Don't worry, you're doing fine :)

From my experience it gets easier. When you first start cutting down the pull of fast food will be big, but as time goes on and you eat less of it, it becomes less appealing. Yes there will be days when you just say that you really fancy it, and that's fine, but I honestly find that the less fast food I eat, the less of it…

Guilt doesn't burn calories. So why feel guilty? Re cheat days: Personally I don't like the concept of cheat days. Because it implies that somehow the food that I eat on that day would be "bad" and "wrong" and the food that I eat normally is "good and "right". I'm not sure that attributing moral values to food is…

When you say not pooping... for how long? While many of us think of a BM (bowel movement) as being a once a day activity, it's not uncommon for it to happen multiple times a day, or once every other day and for that to be normal (and it's not a problem). If you're regularly getting to day three then maybe it is something…

Yesterday I started eating a banana, but got half way and didn't really want it anymore (Pretty sure I was eating through boredom not hunger) So I put it in a tub and then ate the 2nd half for breakfast today.

I swear I checked in yesterday, apparently not! Wednesday: 30min Yoga - Rest session. So glad for a rest day, was basically some meditation and very light stretches. Was difficult to get up this morning and on the mat so was rewarded when I did. Thursday: 26min Yoga - And back to it. Balance and leg work mostly today.…

Monday - 23min Yoga - Core session. Ow, ow ow ow. I hate core sessions. My core is very weak right now (actually it's always been weak) particularly my back. Made my back hurt all day, but I suppose it is good for me. No Judo today as we weren't going to have enough players to make it worth running the session. On the…

I call it: taking the scenic route. It might not be the fastest path, but it sure is nicer along the way.

I eat the world when I am sick. Seriously, I eat everything. Especially calorie dense food. Screw nutrient, what I want when I'm ill is low nutrition, calorific food. Seriously, I feel you. But yeah, it's hard. So for starters give yourself a break. You are ill. Of course your body is screaming for food, it's fighting off…

Excuse me as I echo what everyone is saying above. I personally do not like the phrase 'cheat' because it implies that the food that I enjoy eating is somehow 'bad'. Personally I feel the separation of foods into 'good and 'bad' does very bad things in my head. Like, I know that there is nothing wrong with the food I eat.…

Saturday: 25min yoga first thing. Judo, got in early and on for the children's session and got the chance to see how they're moving. Promising couple couple of kids that'll soon be coming up to the mixed older kids/adults class soon. Also a completely bonkers novice on the mat, he's a little younger than we normally take…

Nice to see some activity in this group again, it's been a long time since I've posted so a quick update on me: Hello. I've been practicing Judo for since I was 14. I'm a fighting 2nd Dan, although currently not fighting too hard as I have a knee injury that's taking it's sweet time to get better. I'm also a coach at my…

I'm not going to lie to you: it's going to be hard. I found that changing my job was the biggest contributor to my weight gain for a handful of reasons. For context: I went from a fairly low powered job, to a much higher, much more engaged job. And suddenly I went from being able to spend some work time meal planning, not…

Long term implant user here too (9 years), I used to have a period every other month for implant 1, then around the time of implant 2, three years later, I went to one every month were it stayed for the next 6 years. I had a big lifestyle change around that time and sort of always blamed that. But yeah, don't feel silly…

As a recent bride by biggest piece of advice is to manage your expectations. I convinced myself that I was going to lose around 5kg in the 6 months before my wedding (a very sensible rate for my weight at the time). I lost almost nothing. And that was because the 6 months before my wedding was the most stressful of my…

Yeah it'll be the word "detox" (I didn't disagree either). It's a red rag to some people. As others have said food "detox" isn't really a thing (at least not in the way most people in the 'health'food industry use it). But at the same time I'm not sure that it's fair you got so many dislikes. There's plenty of anecdotal…

How long's this been happening? I recently had to reconnected my fitbit to MFP* and found that it took a day or two for my fitbit calories to be correctly picked up. I also have found in the past that sometimes setting my weight loss target speed (calorie deficit per day) on the fitbit app to the same as on MFP. When this…

I have used various methods. I used to weigh once a week, I used to weight on the fly (aka only when I was feeling "light"; whatever that means), I now weigh every day. All those methods "worked", in the sense that they recorded what my weight was at that moment in time. I find that 'data' people like daily weighing (this…

For me, whenever my mental health takes a hit, my physical heath always fall by the wayside. When my mental health is good I eat sensible portions, I get out for my daily walks, I sleep better (meaning I am less hungry overall), I keep my house cleaner (meaning I have less allergy related issues). Conversely when my mental…

Ah, I feel I understand why we disagree now. I think fundamentally we disagree on what using this system "properly" consists of. Personally I feel that being able to give anonymised feedback, without having to always somehow justify your point of view the proper use of this system. And personally I find a positive feedback…

Ditto for me. Also @Betty previously I complained about the image looking like it was being cut off. I see from your image that yours doesn't look like that so I thought I'd share a picture of what I'm seeing so you can see how the m,y & f look like they're being cut off at the left, bottom and top (respectively)

But here's my point. Why do you care who reacts to your post? As in, why does the specific user matter? The only benefit I can see of allowing everyone to see who's voted on who is to see who's super active, who the little cliques are, and who you can be annoyed about at this very moment in time, (and who you can be…

1. This is probably one of the first things you need to tighten up first. It's annoying but humans suck at guesstimating the amount of food we eat/how many calories they have. I've been in that position when I've been sitting there saying "this meal is probably around 500kcals" and then I actually measure it and it's more…

Large monitors are 26"ish measured by me (so probably 27" actually). Small one is 13" laptop. I use chrome on my work computer and firefox at home. I've not noticed a difference. On the other subject of seeing who's liked/hugged/ect. I'd actually prefer not to be able to see who's done what. Personally I don't care who's…

(I hate that you can't highlight sections on people posts anymore) "but I do play games on my phone before I go to sleep. I’ve done that for ages though with no ill effects. I don’t know what could suddenly be stressing me out." It could be that there are other factors that you can't control that are causing the issues…

Right some further thoughts clarifying my previous comments. So I use two screens (actually I use three, but the two big ones are the same). One is my laptop screen (res 1600x900) and the other is an external monitor (res 1920x1080). On my laptop screen the font size looks fine. I mean it's still quite large, but it…

I agree, I think it's really quite common but most people don't realise it. For years growing up I used to wake up at 3:30 and then just be awake for around half an hour before going back to sleep. Now as an adult I go through stages of doing this for about a week at a time.
