Overate today! 😫
I ate 3000 calories today and I’m trying not to regret it. Especially because I’m down to the last 15 lbs. I’ll get through this...It’s so hard not to feel like I’ve undone all my hard work... 😖 That’s it. Starting from tomorrow I’m going to stay in a deficit for the rest of September. I feel like I’ve hardly been in a…

IBS- Bigger meals vs smaller meals
So I basically have IBS and I’m always trying to do things to manage my condition. So I’ve noticed that when I eat two large meals and 1 snack it doesn’t suit me but I feel satisfied more than 5-6 smaller meals. The smaller meals suit my digestion but I get hungry but I don’t feel tired, gassy or bloated from larger meals!…

Interesting cod recipe please
I eat cod about 2-3 times a week because I like it and it’s lower in calories and high protein but I’m bored of it at the same time. Need some new recipes please!

Finally had a whoosh!
After being in a deficit from 2nd May till now I’ve finally dropped a massive 4 lbs after my weight seemed to have stalled. I also had three weeks of those in maintenance as highlighted: And this is the red that I drew myself to show that I was. Exactly. On. Target. Even though it didn’t look like it all: In 17 weeks I’ve…

What should I do?
Okay so I’ve been in a deficit for 6 weeks and I haven’t lost any weight. I decided to wait a full six weeks hoping for the scale to drop. Infact the scale has gone up from 154 lbs to 156 lbs 😔. On a more positive note I have lost some visible belly fat around my waist but everything else is still the same. I am down to…

Had palpitations last night :(
I had palpitations last night which is what used to happened to me when I was undereating (like last year) but I felt like I had eaten enough calories or had I? Had to have an emergency nakd bar at midnight even though I ate 2100 calories by the way.

How long should I be in a deficit?
So since I’m down to the last 15ish lbs I was wondering how long I should be in a deficit until I take a diet break. Any advice would be appreciated!

Seriously confused about my goal weight
I’m trying to lose about 20-24 lbs but now I’m seriously confused because I looked at a picture of female body fat percentages and the 25-26% picture fit my description the best. I was even thinking of dropping down to 124 lbs because I’m 5’ 4”. So does that mean that if I want to get down to 20% body fat (approximately)…

Struggling- weightloss is too slow
So I’ve been in a deficit since March 2nd until 17th May so roughly 11 weeks. I managed to lose 5 lbs but it’s been mentally very very tough. I find it very restrictive to be in the same deficit every day. I guess I like variety and routine. I’ve been maintaining for the few weeks and then I injured my shoulder. I guess I…

Shoulder pain
Hey guys so I recently woke up with a painful frozen neck and shoulder! I’m basically on bed rest and I was wondering if I should just eat at maintenance to help speed up recovery? Apparently I’ve been sleeping in the wrong position! My muscles hurt soooo bad 😢😖😭

Increase protein?
I currently take in about 90-100g of protein and some days I get up to 110g but my muscle recovery is slow despite me eating 2100 calories on some days! I just find it so frustrating when my muscles are still sore after a few days. But after doing a bit of research, it seems that I’m not eating enough protein. I do…

Slow weight loss!
How does everyone cope with slow weight loss?! I’m talking about 0.5 lb a week. I recently came back from a 10 day vacation and gained 4 lbs. Now I feel like I undid all my hard work for the past 4-5 weeks. Some fat and water weight. At this rate I won’t see much progress which makes it harder for me to stick to it. Should…

Adapting workouts to PMS?
So currently feeling really tired and fatigued due to PMS. I’m doing upper body today and I will make the workout easier. Just wondering if I should even bother? Or should I skip the workouts? I’m planning on doing less reps at the same weight and maybe longer rest periods. Do any other women do this too or do you just…

Program suitable for home workouts
I workout at home with dumbbells and most lifting programs are for at the gym. Still, I’ve managed to build an impressive amount of muscle over the past 2 years. I’m not a beginner. Are they any suitable programs for some one who works out at home and they’re not for beginners?

Should I lower calories?
I’ve got 25 lbs to goal weight. My stats are: F 26 5’ 4” and 157lbs. Tdee is 2250 with 5 days of exercise a week. My weekly average is 1750x7= 12250. I admit I do go over my weekly calories by a few hundred. I’m just not very consistent with my 500 calorie deficit. Some times it’s a 500, 400, 300-200 calorie deficit.…

Weight has plateaued.
It’s been 3.5 weeks since my weight has been stuck at 158.9 lbs. It will either go up to 160lbs or down to 158.9lbs. Super frustrating. Yes I’m weighing all my food. I finished my period 2 days ago, but I should’ve lost something by now. Feeling discouraged by the scale.

Feeling sleepy and fatigued after eating
Had some relatives over and I ate meat with rice, kebabs and salad. So a nice balanced meal...but now I feel so sleepy! Why does this always happen to me when I eat rice? I guess I can eat too much in one go which doesn’t suit me. My meal was 800/900 calories. Is that a lot of food in one go? Does switching to smaller…

Appetite finally under control again!
So recently I’ve stopped walking 10000+ steps a day and I’ve also cut down on refined white carbs and my appetite has gone. The past few days I’ve just been focusing on my calories and macros. I’m eating lower carb, high fibre, more fats and 100g of protein per day. I’m still exercising but not as much, so it’s 2/3 full…

Seriously struggling
Struggling with consistency and discipline. I'm either in a deficit, at maintainence or overeating (at parties). I've finally got a grip of my sugar addiction by eating more fat and protein. I'm relosing the weight and I've just lost my mojo. I know discipline and habits over motivation, but right now I need motivation.…

Angry with myself.
I wiped out my weeks deficit by eating 2600-3000 calories on 2 days during this week because of a birthday party and a dinner party. I said to myself I was going to lose the holiday weight by losing 1 lb per week and I can’t even stick to that. How on earth do you all have the self control? I know I need to work on self…

I have to cut out sugar
I’m going to go sugar free for a few months (for now) because it’s been negatively affecting my health. A recent trip to the dentist showed me that my enamel has weakened which explains the tooth pain that I’ve been getting. My skin is breaking out too. Plus I’m craving sugar all the time now (insulin issues plus IBS). I’m…

Strange holiday weight gain
So I’ve just come back from my one week holiday in Turkey. I really enjoyed it and we walked ALOT, infact I was on my feet from 10am till midnight. I also ate good food but didn’t go crazy. My body looks the same but I stepped on the scales and I’ve gained 8lbs. How on earth did I gain 8lbs? Is it all water weight. At most…

How I’m planning for my trip
So next week we will be staying at my grandmas. Im really anxious about going there because every singe time I go there I eat a tonne and gain fat. This is due to the fact that there is never any health food cooked there and no decent snacks available plus I eat because the food is there. This time I’m determined not to…

Keep going over calories + living with family
So this isn’t really a question because I know why recently I haven’t lost any weight. I still live with my parents and siblings and I keep eating their food and going over my calories! I seem to have lost that self control. Should I say no to their food from now on? Most of the time it’s high calories like fried food,…

What are your more stubborn areas?
For me it’s actually not my stomach but my arms and thighs! I’ve lost some fat around my midsection but arms are still the same. I know I have some way to go but it is frustrating. I also know you can’t spot reduce. I would like to know what areas of the body you lost fat from last?

Calories burnt shopping
So today I went shopping for 6 hours and walked 13,000 steps whilst carrying loads of bags. I weigh roughly 158lbs so I burnt an extra 1100 calories? Is that correct. I only sat for 5 minutes in those 6/7 hours and stood a lot too. Just curious about how many calories I burnt whilst shopping. If that’s true then my…

Hairloss
How long does it take for hair to grow back in females? Background: I was undereating last year because of wrong calorie calculations. I also had an eating disorder when I was a teen (25 now). I’ve been eating normally since December but not much hair has grown back! I reverse dieted from December to February. Have been in…
