Too many calories?
I’m 31 female, 5’4, 55kg. Goal is to lose around 5 pounds. Most days I walk 22k steps (about 10 miles). 12k of those steps are my long morning walk, and the rest are walking to/from work. Weekends are usually 10-15k steps. I have been eating between 1400-1500 calories a day. It’s only been 2/3 weeks but the scales haven’t…

Calories burned following YouTube workouts?
Here in the UK it looks like gyms won’t be open for a while yet, so I am burning calories by walking every day and I have just started doing some YouTube workouts every morning. These are mostly no-equipment workouts, with the exception of resistance bands for glutes. The workouts are focused mainly on abs and glutes and…

Eliminating sweets help please!
Hi everyone, I’m naturally slim and I enjoy excercise. I gained a few pounds out of comfort eating (I think that’s what it was, anyway) ..... basically eating even more chocolate than I usually would while watching movies at night time, alone, after my long term relationship ended. I stopped feeling sorry for myself and…

Weekly calorie help please
Hi, hope everyone is well! I’m having my first week eating at maintenance and I’m trying to look at the full weeks calorie intake instead of days. My calorie maintenance with my current activity level is around 1800 per day. So that’s 12,600 per week. I’ve already eaten 7,710 calories from Monday to Thursday. So that means…

6.5lbs away from goal but.....
My goal is 121lb because that was my ‘normal’ weight my whole adult life and then I gained some 20lbs while in an unhappy relationship the last two years. I’m now 6.5lbs away from my goal which is obviously really close but physically I feel I look like a little while away from it.... my jeans feel as though I might need…

Can these maintenance calories be correct?
Hi all. I’m female, 25yo, 5ft5, just under 129 pounds. I am currently ‘lightly active.’ I usually eat between 1250-1350 calories a day but today I’ve allowed myself a little more and I’ve eaten 1670 which is no big deal. I just checked what my maintenance calories are on two different calorie calculators and it comes up as…

Who is doing BBG?
How are you finding it? Is there nutrition involved? I downloaded the Sweat app but can’t see anything regarding nutrition - are you just meant to be eating at your normal calorie deficit? Do you have to do the cardio indicated on the app or can you do what you prefer? Thanks in advance!

Apple Watch steps don’t work with pushchair?
Hi all, My hubby let me borrow his Apple Watch before I buy my own. I usually take 15-20k steps per day according to the health app on my iPhone. The Apple Watch is recording maybe 40% less than my iPhone would and I’m wondering if this is because it’s on my wrist (obviously) and I’m pushing a pushchair... my arms barely…

Apple Watch worth it?
Hi all, I’m debating about purchasing an Apple Watch, mainly for fitness purposes. What is your experience, how has your watch benefitted your fitness (if at all?) Just to note: the reason I ask of Apple Watch is because I own all Apple products including air pods - so my thought is that I will get multiple uses out of an…

What is my activity level?
Monday - Friday I leave my car at home and do 15k-20k steps every day (18k most days). I also do high intensity cardio at the gym at least 4 times a week but sometimes 5 and that is 45 min sessions. Weekend activity level can vary every week. What do you think? Am I lightly active or moderately active? I appreciate the…

Anyone doing Kelsey Wells PWR?
Hi everyone. Anyone doing the PWR program? What do you think of it? The results look amazing, and since it seems to be based around lifting I think I would enjoy it. I’ve never had defined abs and it’s something that would be fun to work towards! I have two questions.... - do I need to trim down to my goal before I begin?…

Any other females 25, 5’5 and 63kg (ish)?
Hello! Wondering if there’s any females out there with similar stats to me. I’m 5’4.5 and around 63kg at the moment. My goal is to reach my ‘normal’ weight of 55kg. Being a work-from-home Mum made me pile on the pounds and now I’m finally trimming back down and hoping to keep it off. If there is anyone similar, I’d love to…

Can anyone estimate calories for this Thai dish?
Hi everyone. I went to a Thai restaurant last night and I chose what I thought would be most sensible in terms of calories. It was called flash-fried chicken (can’t remember the rest) I had the oyster sauce removed because I don’t like it, so my dish was the chicken and a little veg. The portion size was probably the size…

Calories in red grapes from M&S?
Hi everyone. I bought a pack of red grapes from M&S (UK) this morning, but they don't have a nutrition label on them. Does anybody know the calories for these? When I did a search on here the calories really varied and I don't want to guess. Thank you!
