Protecting floor at home - kettlebells
Does anyone have any advice on how to protect our floor at home while using kettlebells? We've started using them in our main room which has a laminate floor and I'm worried if they're put down heavily or accidentally dropped they could damage the floor. Would a yoga mat be enough? We're not lucky enough to have a garage…

Help!
I'm really struggling at the moment. I reached maintenance about a month ago but since the stress of coronavirus I've really struggled to stay in control. I've had a binge this evening and ended up 2000 over. Does anyone have any advice? I feel embarrassed and ashamed.

NEAT during lockdown
Does anyone have any tips to up my movement during lockdown? I was a lot more active a month ago and now I hardly move apart from purposeful exercise once or twice a day. Help!!

Day one.... smashed it!!
I've been struggling with overeating recently, ever since lockdown. I'd reached maintenance a couple of months ago and stopped tracking about a month ago. But since the slower pace of life began, the stress eating soon followed. My weight has slowly crept up and over my maintenance range and is the highest it's been since…

Really struggling to get back on it after Christmas :(
Just that really. I want to eat ALL the things! I just hit maintenance before Christmas after losing 14 lbs. I ate without restriction for a week over Christmas/New Year and now I'm struggling to get back into the groove. Worried I'll undo all my hard work for the last 6 months. Help!!

New routine making me feel tired
I've added in some extra exercise this week and it's left me feeling exhausted! I know it's early days so don't know if I should just give it some time to adjust. I love cardio and walk my dog every day, but wanted to add in some strength training. I prefer fitting it in the morning because if I leave it until later in the…

Strength training tips please
Does anyone have any tips for strength training for someone who doesn't really enjoy it? I've just about reached maintenance and have done this mostly through monitoring my diet. Exercise wise, I struggle to stick to anything for more than a week. I wanted to make this a lifestyle change that I'll stick to long term so…

Almost there!
I reached the top end of my maintenance weight today! Will keep going for a bit to get into the middle to lower end, then start adding 100 cals a week and keep monitoring. I just wanted to say thank you for all the advice on here, I'm a reader but not much of a poster. Libra has helped me keep my spirits up and I've been…

Pre-logging food
I've just pre-logged all my food for the week (mon-fri). I thought I'd get ahead and log my meals/drinks/snacks for the week to help me plan and stick to the budget. I've only done this before for 1-2 days ahead. I suppose my question is... is doing this for the whole week getting obsessive? It can be flexible but I've got…

Another fitbit one!
I'm trying to work out how accurate my fitbit has been in the last month and wondered if anyone who's good at maths could help please? I'm set at a 0.5lb a week loss. I track my weight on Libra and in the last 31 days I've lost 3.7 pounds. How can I use my figures from mfp and fitbit to work out how accurate it is? My…

Binge help
For the last 2 days I've over eaten carbs and sugar and feel bloated and uncomfortable. It started yesterday when I was tired, I think I turned to food for energy. I ate 3800 calories when my goal is 1600. Then because I was full and uncomfortable I didn't sleep properly and have over eaten again today. How do I break the…

Last 7-10lbs...
I've been lurking on here a while and am very close to my goal. I've got a plan to ease into maintenance and wondered on other opinions please. I thought in the week mon-fri to set my calories to lose 0.5 lb and eating at maintenance sat & sun. I'd still like to lose 7-10 lbs. Will this be very slow going? I don't want to…

Weighing food
I've just discovered a different way to weigh food that I hadn't thought of before. I'm a bit late to the party! I'm sure many do this but it was a lightbulb moment for me today. When getting some peanut butter out of the jar I weighed the whole jar, then took some out and read the -number. Why didn't I think of this…

Work stress and binging
It's a busy and stressful time at work. I work at a school as a teaching assistant. It's an uncertain time because the TAs don't know if our jobs are safe next year, it all depends on funding/ pupil need. It's also become busier recently with an extra intake of children. I feel overwhelmed by the amount of work I've got at…
