Reassessing Goals
As I get nearer to my goal weight - I still feel like I have too much excess fat and am considering 10 / 15lbs less. I'm 47 ( in a couple of weeks ) 5ft 7 , CW 165, GW 150 I don't want my face to look ancient so I am a bit apprehensive about going into the 130/ 140 range. Not that it's happening any time soon as I'm unable…

Knee pain after bike riding
I am a little out of practice as my bike doesn't really see the light of day over the winter months. But I did a 20 mile bike ride in the sunshine today with a short stop in the middle to go shopping. And found the gradients EXTRA difficult and tough on my knees. The pain isn't excruciating but I feel pretty achey. I turn…

20 lbs
Does anyone else have 20 lbs to lose that wont budge? I'm finding it a struggle after losing 57 lbs over the last 14 months and lost my mojo over Christmas all the way through January. I'm only just trying to get back into a routine now and am 20 lbs overweight again 😫 I keep losing 7 lbs of this 20 and then the hunger…

Eating the same meals
I tend to rotate the same meals and I feel that I should vary my diet more. When I try a new recipe I'm often disappointed. Does anyone else do this? I'm not a fussy eater and will try pretty much anything- but I feel like a meal that I don't find really delicious is a waste of calories.

Strength Training for beginners

TDEE
Hi all I just calculated that at my goal of 140lbs my TDEE will be just over 1500 cals 😔 Which is pretty low for me - I think I'll be hungry! I'm not sedentary- I walk 4/5 days a week around 15,000 steps ( 6 miles) and I use an outdoor bike in warmer weather often 20+ miles. My stats at the moment are - Female 46, 5 foot 7…

Maintenance over Christmas
I've been attempting to maintain over the last 2 months as I got Covid and just felt so poorly I couldn't think about what I was eating. I just ate what I could stomach and counted the calories. It turned out I was eating approximately maintenance calories so I have been trying to stick to that. I'm recovered now - but its…

Intermittent Fasting
Hi all is there an IF group here anywhere? Any time it's mentioned on the main forums people seem to get shot down - scary stuff 😳 Thanks in advance 😊

Miserable
Does dieting make anyone else feel miserable? I'm trying to look at it as healthier eating rather than a diet - but I still feel like I'm missing out. I find moderation REALLY difficult - so I thought by cutting down on sugar would help. Lower carbs, higher fats = fuller and satisfied. Which is true .... But the craving…
