Okay to give up?
I’ve been trying harder than I ever have for the past month to lose weight. I’ve been logging and exercising at least an hour every day, doing weights on alternate days, going out walking every day and my weight just fluctuates slightly, I’m not losing anything. Is there a point where you just have to concede that it won’t…

Low mood/Lacking motivation
How do you deal with it when you don’t feel so motivated and would give anything to just have some junk food to feel better but you can’t? I feel at the mercy of my emotions. When I’m feeling good and motivated, eating well and exercising is great and I enjoy it. But when something goes wrong or I’m highly stressed, the…

Nutrition advice needed
I’m trying to change my eating habits after a lifetime spent eating sugary, bready, carby things. I’m trying to include more protein and am trying to keep within the macro amounts. I use protein bars and whey powder to help get more protein and have been doing ok with it. All of a sudden, I’m suffering with constipation. I…

Walking
For the past three weeks I have been walking over 10k steps per day. I rarely eat over 1800 calories, usually I end the day at around 1400. I try and keep control of my macros and keep my protein up using whey powder and bars and have cut out things like bread and unhealthy snacks. I am currently at 330lbs and have lost…

After a really good month...
I've maintained my current weight. Anyone else struggle to stay interested when all the work is just to prevent gain rather than losing?

Blisters
I am really struggling with blistering on the sole of my foot. I've been following a walking routine and aiming at getting to five miles a day. I have the energy and the commitment to do it every day and am enjoying being much more active than previously. But I'm struggling with a huge blister on my foot. It starts at the…

Feeling hopeless
I had some good success earlier this year but lost my way a bit. Now I'm trying to refocus but I'm struggling with motivation and maintaining focus. Right now I have no interest in eating right or exercising but I'm managing to carry on, for now. I'm really struggling to motivate myself to exercise, it's such a relentless…

Need to refocus
I lost 27 pounds earlier this summer but got distracted and fell back into bad habits. How can I pull myself out of the rut that I'm in and get motivated again?

Daily steps
I'm too heavy right now to run or jog even, as I don't want to damage my knees. But I've taken up walking lately and and have 10000 daily steps as my goal. Is that an adequate amount per day?

Painful knee
I've had trouble with my knee for a couple of years on and off. When walking anything over half a mile I get a nagging pain which eases when I stop walking. Now that I've gone from walking around to 2k steps a day a couple of months ago to averaging around 12k daily steps, it's really starting to become a nuisance. I'm…

18lbs in less than 2 months
I'm happy with progress so far. I've finally grasped that the best way is to control portions (allowing me to eat whatever I like in moderation), keep within the calorie limit (I've never been near my daily limit so I don't come close to eating my exercise calories), watch the macros (generally I try and ensure my daily…

Noticing weight loss
I was 26.5 stone at my heaviest a couple of months ago. During that time I am pleasantly surprised to discover that I am now a stone lighter. So things are working out so far. I don't feel any lighter and I don't think my clothes feel loose but of course I have a long, long way to go. How much might I lose before I notice…

Help!
I'm really struggling to commit to being healthy, junk food has such a hold on me. I stick with it a few days then something happens and I fall off. I need to make a go of it this time but I've failed so many times, I don't really believe I'll ever do it. I have so much weight to lose, I don't know what to do.
