For the love of....
What is your driver to eat better and exercise more? Mine is for the love of muay Thai, I'm losing weight so I can fight competitively, get fitter to train more, did yoga/pilates when I couldn't train to help with flexibility... To help my fighting.

Loving calories burnt breast feeding
I must say I'm loving how many calories I'm burning just feeding my baby. I'm around 1000 cal per day as I'm also expressing and freezing an extra litre per day. Formula to calculate is: cal burnt=(20xoz of milk) ÷ 0.8 - basal (basal 300cal 0-3months, 400cal 4-5 months, 500 6+ months) Cal burnt=(ml of milk x 0.68)÷0.8 -…

Fought my weight and won
It took 4 years and it was a bumpy road but I go down to my goal weight! I won my first fight to at the same time! My journey started after having my first child where at the end of the pregnancy I weighed 100kg. Granted I started the pregnancy around 85kg. It was a traumatic pregnancy, I developed carpel tunnel and both…

diet break
I have decided to take a diet break because despite increasing deficit continuously the weight was still sticking. I'm third day in, scales are reading 1kg heavier (hoping is just the water weight), but today I have been head achy and a bit absent minded. With a bit of googling, could it be a hypoglycemic reaction to a…

I was too small!
First time in my life, they didn't have my size because I was too small! I have 7kg to go, so went window shopping to find out my size and potentially buy some goal clothes. I fitted size 10 comfortably so wanted to buy size 8, they didn't have any! First time ever they didn't have the size I wanted because it was too…

Maintenance day
I read an article or two that cheat days can actually help your weight loss by keeping your metabolism up. (Studies were cited etc.) Has anyone tried this? I was thinking maintenance calories for Fridays as my "cheat day", mainly to stop the crazy binge mentality which can happen. It's my lazy day, so easier to reduce…

Fighting weight
How important do you think it is to be a competitive weight for an amateur fight? My first is Nov 11, I was hoping to be 60kg for it, can't dehydrate as they weigh just before. It is a true novice fight (shin pads, 16 oz gloves, no winner, fight is stopped if someone dominates). My weight loss has slowed, I was losing 1kg…

Evil bread, sex, organic, help, selfie, 500cal
Just thought I'd make a thread that covered all the popular topics... tidy it up a little. Bread is evil unless it is organic and eaten during sex, please help it makes me eat more than my self imposed 500cal limit per day.... *insert selfie*

Target weight
Trying to find an ideal target is hard, the calculators online now incorporate body frame. Some say I'm medium frame some large frame. I'm 163cm, female the ranges I'm getting are sometimes as tight as 56-58, another said 57 to 64, 54 to 61, that was with me at medium frame, one lovely website reckons I'm within normal…

Wore size small today
I put on a size small top today for the first time in around 15years. It's not even tight, and even fits properly! I still have about 10kg to go (think it's sitting on the thighs) but every week is a milestone now. May have stared at myself in the mirror a bit longer than usual.

Training for fight but also losing weight
I'm currently trying to balance training for a muay thai fight with losing weight. The fight is my motivation to lose weight. Any ideas on optimal nutrition? I found out the hard way on Monday that spending my calories on carbs too much over protein left me without energy at the gym. I have started having whey protein…

Trend lines and data analysis
Anyone else gone to the extent of analysing their weight loss with a trend line? I have made a spreadsheet in which I can enter a date and get the weight I will be based on current progress. Or enter a weight and it will give me the date I'll be at weight. I have found it helpful as I have signed up for a couple of fights…
