Advise please
Just started up at the gym again after a 2 month break. I'm going to classes and working harder than ever before. I also have PCOS and causes excessive sweating. So when I leave I am absolutely dripping like you wouldn't believe. Obviously due to the sweat after I walk home (around 20mins) I get in the shower wash my body…

Always hungry!
Fed up with being hungry! MFP is at 1200 to lose 2lbs a week. And I really want to lose 2lbs a week desperately, but the last week or so I can't stop eating. And I'm eating around 2200 all together, not happy about it but also not happy when I'm hungry. Even if I drink water after a meal, have a coffee, have a pint of…

Will the pain go?!?
I've changed my diet! Well I say changed. I'm eating less calories and a lot more vegetables. Was very excited about feeling the bebefits of eating lots of veg, but no! I'm in agony with belly ache!! Very much like Sheldon was when we took up cruciferous vegetable night, and thought his appendix was going to explode, but…

How are we supposed to eat?
How are humans in general suppose to eat? Are we grazers? Are we supposed to eat one big meal a day? I've heard 3 meals a day is just a traditional way of eating, that we are "stuck in". I have also heard that grazing or 5-7 small meals a day slows your metabolism down making it harder to lose weight. Also I have heard…

Spin v indoor cycling
I go to spin class and do 45 mins. This by no means is easy. All the way through its either moderate resistance at 150 RPM or very heavy resistance at 80RPM. And you get 30-60 rests between each track( but not stopping, just slow down or turn your resistance down) This class is an absolute killer. Sweating and out of…

One meal a day?
I've been having one meal a day and its working for me! I'm a massive binge eater so cramming all my calories into one meal on an evening really works for me! I'm only having 1450kcal a day so it mainly comes from carbs. In the meal I make sure I have protein, veg and carbs. I take daily vitamins and supplements. I have a…

Diet pills. How do they work?
I've taken diet pills before. Nothing dangerous just the ones advertised on TV, or ones you can pick up in the supermarket. Obviously I lost weight because I was DIETING while taking them, so would of lost weight anyway! Obviously after a little bit of research, I stopped throwing my money away and stopped taking them. I…

Not lost any weight!!

And this was crisps, chocolate a bottle of wine daily! I put on half a stone. Anyway I moved back in with my OH about 3 weeks ago and changed my…

Bad days
Feel like giving up. Couldn't do my workout plan so ended up giving up and walking home. I'm so frustrated with myself. I feel I'm getting nowhere. I've got like another 20lbs to go and I just feel like I'm never going to get the result I want. Just want to cry and eat chocolate :(

Can't lose weight and build muscle simultaneously
So, I've learnt that you can't build muscle if you're eating in a deficit unless you're being really really extreme (hours of working out a day) Does this mean when I'm having a rubbish week and eating in a surplus I'm going to be building muscle? Cos when I do have a rubbish week and eat in a surplus I do still workout…

Is this enough?
So got my new workout plan it's mainly weights on different areas of my body each day legs, arms etc. And at the end of each workout, there is a 20 min cardio session. Will this still help me to lose weight. I'm not trying to build muscle just look firmer and tone up while I lose weight. TIA

Tummy problems!
I'm losing weight, struggling a little at min, but even though I'm getting smaller and my belly is getting smaller it still pops out! So really I don't look much different. If I did more toning on my tummy area would it bring it in more??

Treadmill
What does everyone put for the treadmill exercise? It's not on MFP exercises and I'm lead to believe actual walking on ground burns more than walking on a treadmill

Am I right?
Am I right in thinking, you burn around 1800kcal just generally doing nothing threw out the day? Then when you're at work you burn on top of that. So you burn 1800 generally, burn 1500 working, so in total 2800 then you eat around 1500kcal so in essence youre burning around half a pound a day as one pound is around 3 500…

I suffer depression and anxiety.. could this be a phase or do i need to do something about it.its becoming an obsession!!

No need to eat 'clean'?
I see on here that it's ALL down to calorie deficit. So in actual fact you could have a chocolate bar for breakfast, a chip butty for lunch, and biscuits for tea and as long as you are in your deficit you will still lose weight? I haven't lost weight in like 3 weeks I'm not panicked as i know weight loss isn't linear but i…

When trying to build muscle do you need to eat more? Or can i eat the same 1200 because my main aim is weight loss, i have another 28lbs to go! Also i am quite hungry…

Nowhere to turn!! Ladies only!!
Okay so I know this is probably not the place for this, but I don't have anyone to talk to. I find it very embarrassing to bring up with anyone and I don't have any close friends. Since losing weight I have had a lot more guys catcalling me shouting stuff at me, beeping. I can deal with this. But where I work there is a…

With the 5:2 diet, for 2 days you fast and the rest you eat what you like (in moderation). So am i right in thinking, by the end of the week…

Why do you have bad days?
So I've been going to the gym properly now for 7 weeks and obviously my fitness has stepped up, but some days even if I feel I have the energy, I just can't quite do what I did the week before. For Example on the stair tredmill last week I did 20minutes over a thousands steps on level 6, but today I could bearly do 10…

It's been 3 weeks!
I have started exercising "properly" meaning I'm going 3-6 times a week and eating a lot healthier. Rather than 0-2x eating rubbish and generally half assed Had a bit of a rubbish week this week but it hasn't deterred me. Anyhow I've been doing this around 3 weeks now and I have quite bad period related symptoms but not an…

How many calories?!
What's a "bad day" for you calorie wise? Let's say you've eaten all you calories for the day, around 1600ish, you get home and your boyfriend says let's go for a mwal, cinema and drinks! You think wahay. Or any other similar kind of situation. I would personally find it very easily to consume 2500kcal if I let myself. How…
