Trying to lose weight but just keep gaining
I feel like I'm getting no where. Every time I weight myself it feels like I just keep gaining weight instead of losing it. I try my best to watch what I'm eating and workout three times a week as well as go to college and work part time. I do weight training and then cardio afterwards. I still have no idea how many…

Protein Powder
Has anyone tried MyProtein protein powder? I'm considering buying either the banana cinnamon flavour or the natural vanilla and was just wondering if it's worth buying them. I've never used/had protein powder before but I thought that I would at least give it a try and see what it's like. I'm currently trying to lose…

Haven't been to the gym in a month
Over Christmas I was struggling to get over a cold so I wasn't able to workout. I was also just struggling to motivate myself over that time. I always find it difficult to motivate myself during the colder months. I was trying so hard to go to the gym again, but now I have a cold yet again. I went to the gym on Monday…

Losing Weight With A Sweet Tooth
I have a terrible sweet tooth. Snacking and sweet things is something I've always struggled with when it comes to losing weight. I've put on a stone again, at this point last year I was at the lowest I had ever been and I'm determined to get back there, but my sweet tooth is my biggest enemy. I'm trying to stop myself from…

Fitness Goals for Next Year
I've tried my best to set a few fitness goals for next year. The main one being to at least lose around half a stone by this time next year. I also just want to become stronger. I managed to be able to press 80lb on the leg press and I at least want to get up to 100 lb. Another one is just to be able to by something from…

Book Recommendations
I'm looking into reading more books in 2018 since I've been slacking off this year and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations or books that they've just enjoyed this year! Looking for other people that just enjoy reading! I usually like to read some fantasy things, YA stuff, horror and biographies. I'm in the…

Starting Over In the New Year
I haven't worked out for over a month now. At first, it was because I had a cold and, due to me being asthmatic, it made it difficult to breathe a bit - and I also didn't want to try and go to the gym and get others sick. Then college became hectic and now I've recently started a part time job as well. But I am putting my…

Calorie Intake
I've been losing weight for over two years so of course my progress has started to slow down. Right now I'm not entirely sure what to make my calorie intake. MFP tells me to have it at 1230, when I started I was around 1700 and slowly lowered it until I stopped at around 1400. It wasn't until recently that I went through…

Struggle to motivate myself and feeling self conscious
The past few days I've been trying so hard to motivate myself. I bought a new heart rate monitor to help track my steps and calories while I was at work. I started a new job recently which has stressed me a little bit. I've been trying my best to go to the gym 3 times a week and I've even been trying my best to watch what…

Been Considering Taking Up Crossfit??
I've been sitting on the idea to join crossfit for about 5 months now. I do enjoy weight lifting, although the main thing I use is the weight machines and I enjoy barbells and kettlebells. I do want to try using dumbbells as well at some point. Was wondering what people's thoughts were on crossfit and any helpful tips?…

2 stone down, 2 more to go!
I've been trying losing weight for around 2 years now and I feel so happy that I'm about half way there! Some days it feels like there's no changes at all whereas other days I can see all the changes! My starting weight was 175lbs. I'm only 5ft 4 so I was considered overweight by some doctors and if I put on any more…

Binge Eating and BDD
I haven't seen many people talking about it but I've struggled with binge eating from the ages of 13-18. But I also used to avoid eating and starve myself during the day so I'm not too sure what to call what I had. I often feel the urge to binge some days and it's an awful feeling and it's always there. I avoid the food…

I don't know what to do
Me and this friend haven't been on good terms for while. We were best friends throughout high school, although when a better friend came along I was sort of forgotten about for a while. It all started when I got a personal trainer, started to lose weight and then got a boyfriend last year. She didn't like it when I…
