No weight loss - whats wrong?
Hi folks. I've started to clear all the crap out of my diet as it was starting to make me feel terrible and i was gaining weight. I've cut out sweets and desserts (only going to have these if its an occasion etc), white bread and pasta are gone, I'm drinking 2-3 litres of water daily when i used to mayyyybe have 750ml.…

Really thought I'd lost weight :(
So I've been busting my *kitten* in the gym and doing slimming world. I've been doing slimming world for a couple of months now but only signed back up for the gym two weeks ago as I took a lot of damage in labour during the winter. Anyway I lost two pounds last week which was great but nothing this week. And I've been so…

From gym rat to pregnant to post birth diet - ughhhh!!!
I was so spoiled before I got pregnant! I used to be a bit of a gym rat. I'm talking free weights, high kicks, grunting, leaving the floor absolutely dripping in sweat, disgusting and not sorry gym rat. I never worried about what I ate (within reason) because I was burning it off. Then I got pregnant and although I was out…

PT Programme almost all arm weights?
I know we're not all professionals and PTs here but maybe someone can offer guidance or their own experience here. I'm feeling a bit weird about the programme that one of the PTs in my gym assigned me. I told him my goals were mostly around fat loss and muscle conditioning. However he seems to have focused a lot on arms…

Leg Press and Pelvic Pain
Hi folks! I've been at the gym for the last few months but only recently went to a PT to design a programme for me. He put the leg press machine on it, which was fine. I've noticed lately though that I've been dealing with some twinges of pain around the pelvic/groin area and I'm wondering if this could be causing it. Has…

Anxiety After Exercise
So, I already suffer with an anxiety disorder. Exercise-wise, I get up and exercise at the gym 3 mornings every week, making sure it's the first thing I do. Depending on whether that's 6am on a Tuesday or Thursday, or 9am on a Sunday, I'll either be at Body Combat or in the gym itself. Then I hit the shower, and for…

Davi and Cia machine - body fat?
I just used this machine and I'm having real trouble getting it to measure body fat. It told me that my bmi is 28.2 - just slightly overweight, was which I expected. However, the first time I asked it to read my body fat it didn't ask my age + sex, and the second time it asked me those things halfway through me gripping…

1200/Day?
I recently joined a gym. Starting off small, just three mornings a week at the moment, but I'm now trying to update my profile on MFP to keep things accurate/safe/whatever. So, my goals thing here set itself as 1200 net calories a day, but using a BMR calculator tells me that I can get away with just over 1500. Is the BMR…

Social Media Pictures and Motivation!
So, I kind of fell off the MFP wagon for a couple of months there. Then this picture from over the weekend appeared on my facebook wall: VOM. Dem thighs, dat gut, dat face chub. While I know that I'm not exactly obese, I have been a lot thinner than this in recent years and I've gotten chubby since getting married. That's…

Don't "Look Your Weight"?
Has anyone else been told this? I weigh myself at my mum's house at the moment because I don't have a set of scales at home yet. When I weighed my starting weight last week, I told her what it was (12st 6lbs). She didn't believe me at all and said something must be wrong with the scale. I was like, "Righto, mum", thinking…

Sick as a dog!
So! You're dog sick, you're suffering from cold/flu to the point that you're pretty sure Satan himself vomited right in your face, and you're shivering in your office barely able to see the computer screen through the watery eyes of a diseased donkey. All you want is comfort food - toast, creamy hot chocolate, a spicy…

The Curse of "Who Am I Kidding?"
Did anybody here, very early on in their weight loss journey, find themselves thinking, "Who am I kidding? I'll never lose all that weight? Why can't I just accept that I'm a fatty and always will be?" This is my fifth day in, and although I'm pretty determined and not doing too badly with cravings so far (touch wood) I…

"RRRRIIIIP!" That noise is some motivation!
So I'm three days into my new diet, and I think I'm doing great! Then today I sit down on my office chair and, well... RRRRRIIIIP! My pencil skirt just tore up from the split at the back! My butt was too big for it! Well then, if nothing else keeps me away from the chocolate vending machine, that certainly will! Had any…

Belfast Girl
Hi there! My name's Nicky. I'm looking to lose some weight through a fairly strict, low-sugar diet as I don't really want to pay high gym prices and the nights aren't yet light enough to go out running after work. I might be less strict once we get lighter evenings. Anyway, after a year and a half of piling on the weight,…
