Can’t kneel properly - what exercises?
When I kneel I can’t sit back properly so my *kitten* is touching my feet. I just don’t seem to have the range of movement, even if my hips are extended. What’s the problem- is it hamstring/quad? What exercises can I do to make it more supple and comfortable so I can actually kneel properly ?!

Why do we never lose weight from places we need too?!
I am slowly losing at a rate of about 0.5-1lb a week- averaging 2-3lb a month. I am about half way towards my weight loss goal. I seem to have lost most of it from my tummy and upper legs. My body stores fat in random places such as knees, elbows and lower legs. Do I have to get closer to my goal weight to see it come off…

How to answer comments like...:
This .... food sensitivity = inflammation = hormone dysregulation = weight gain. All calories are not equal. Calorie in and calories out is 70's thinking. ( I am a qualified nutritionist)

CICO/Thermodynamics/Insulin- discuss!!
Read this article and a few others after a FB discussion on losing weight. I am confused now that losing weight is not just about CICO. Discuss! https://www.dietdoctor.com/first-law-thermodynamics-utterly-irrelevant

Fitbit / MFP
My workouts are not coming over from my Fitbit to MFP. It adjusts my cals for steps but doesn't add in the workouts. Is this normal? Do I need to manually add the workout to MFP?

Seriously depressed with lack of progress
I honestly think I defy science. I haven't had a good weight loss for over a month now. I had a weeks holiday end of May and gained 1lb. I lost this last week and gained .5lb this week. So I now weigh the same as I did on 20/05. I am consistently logging, exercise is the same (3x 1hr cardio a week + 10k steps). I am…

Is it ok to skip breakfast?
I am struggling with my weight loss despite sticking to approx 1400-1500 cals a day. I am not hungry at breakfast and to be honest feel I am just eating for the sake of it. I have skipped it for the last few days but have a banana mid morning. Is this OK? For years it has been drummed in that breakfast is the most…

Propanolol/beta blockers
Has anyone had any issues with weight gain and propanolol? I take it to prevent migraines and recently did some research and found a lot of people struggling with weight gain and trying to lose it when on beta blockers. Apparently they reduce the way the body responds to insulin. I have discussed with my Gp about coming…

1 month in, ready to give up. 3lb off, 2lb on.
I literally cried this morning. A whole month has passed with calorie counting and exercising 4 x a week- mixture of cardio and boxing. Plus my 10k steps a day. I was so pleased last week to have lost 3lb but on the scales this morning it's gone back up by 2lb meaning in a whole month of being in calorie deficit I have…

Demotivated by the scales.
I am now about 2 weeks into calorie tracking using IIFYM and my usual 4x cardio strength workouts. So demotivated that I am gaining weight. I am averaging 1600-1800 calories a day and expending 2100-2400 daily. I don't think I can ramp up the exercise any more and I am tracking every morsel. I know weight loss isn't linear…

Gaining weight with exercise!!
Help! I am exercising 4-5 times a week doing a mix of cardio, boxing and weights/conditioning. Also tracking calories on here with macros too. So disappointed that I am now 5lb heavier than I was 2 weeks ago. Please tell me this will pass and my body will burn the fat eventually. I have no thyroid gland and just having my…
