Starting Whole 30
I have a real problem with food. I am an emotional eater and I just can't control and limit what I'm eating. I calorie count for a few days, then pack it all in when I get offered a chocolate bar or if friend's want to go out for lunch. Guilt and shame follows, and I indulge more - "I've already failed today so I might as…

How often do you wash you hair?
What on earth has this got to do with exercise, you may ask! I've been counting calories for a while now and have been exercising quite a lot too. I run or cycle 5 or 6 days a week and find that it works really well for me. Not to gross anyone out, but when I workout I like to get my heart rate nice and high which means I…

Fitbit is breaking!!
Hi all, I've had my Fitbit Ultra for over a year now and LOVE it. The problem is that some of the plastic has now snapped off around the top of it near the seam and it's gone a bit wobbly. I'm so worried that it's going to split apart and I'll lose it or won't be able to use it any more :( As I am out of warranty, do you…

Supplements and Protein Shakes?
Does anyone doing Turbo Fire use supplements or protein shakes? I know that it is recommended to use Shakeology, but I live in the UK and can't get that. Do you think it really aids your body, and if so, what do you use?

Just got engaged! Worried about ring :(
My boyfriend proposed to me last week (most exciting thing EVER) and he's bought me the most beautiful ring. It's 18K gold with a cluster of diamonds on the top and diamonds down the shoulders. The ring is actually too big but when I went to get it re-sized, the jeweller said that they would be worried about re-sizing it…

Fitting in exercise
My work as recently moved location which means I am now travelling two hours to work each day. I leave at 6am and I arrive home again about 6pm, and I am having real trouble fitting in exercise, as I hate getting up early but I am always too tired when I get home. My question is to those who have long working days and get…

Excessive hobbies?
Does anyone else have too many hobbies? I have a terrible problem with going through phases of hobbies, plough loads of money into it only to get bored of it a few months down the line. One minute it is baking...then crocheting....then nail art. Why can I never just find one thing I like and stick at it?

Paper bags for popcorn...
Hi all, I want to pop my own popcorn in the microwave in a paper bag for a low calorie snack, but as I live in the UK I have no idea where to get brown paper bags from.... Any ideas?

Having a bad day
Not sure what I am really expecting by posting this, but I really need to have a miserable rant. I'm just finishing four years at university and as I have spent the last 6 weeks writing my dissertation, I decided that I would have a break from exercising and would allow myself to eat anything I wanted. Big mistake. I've…

Supplement Advice
So I've been thinking of taking some supplements/protein shakes for a while now, and I think I've come up with a plan. I was thinking....PhD Lean Degree tablet when I get up, PhD Recovery shake after a workout and PhD Diet Whey shake in the evening. Does that sound sensible or too much? Any advice on the whole topic would…

Just received Turbo Fire in the post!
So my Turbo Fire has just arrived in the post. Very nervous about starting it! Do any of you follow the nutrition plan, or do you just stick to calorie counting on MyFitnessPal? Also, do you think it would make more sense to wait until next Monday start, or would it be alright to start today?

Ministry of Sound Pump It Up DVDs
Anyone else done the Ministry of Sound Pump It Up DVDs? There are eight in total, and I had two of them, but have just bought five more! Haven't had a chance to do the new ones yet, but my favourite one of my old ones is the Burn It, Lose It Deanne Berry one! It's so much fun to be able to dance and burn LOADS of calories…

Struggling to find the right plan for me
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing or has experienced the same thing. I've been on this website for about 5 and a half months now, and I just cannot seem to find the right plan for me. I've tried 1200 calories, 1480 calories, doing lots of exercise, doing no exercise, eating back my exercise calories,…

My first NSV! Cannot stop smiling
Well, on Saturday I saw my first weight loss in a really really long time. My head has just not been in it, and although I was eating okay-ish I kept having horrid evening and weekend binges. Takeaways, chocolate, cakes and alcohol were regulars. Anyway, the weight loss isn't really the NSV (obviously, or it wouldn't make…

So I had a bit of a dabble, and have created a new group called 'Food & Fitness Weekly Challenges' if anyone is interested in joining? Every week, two challenges will be available to members. One for your diet and one for…

I hate nuts and seeds!
I've been looking through the form trying to find suggestions for healthy snacks other than fruit and veg, and all I seem to ever find is suggestions of nus, seeds and peanut butter. I hate all these things!! Does anyone else share my hatred? Does anyone have any other healthy (preferably low carb) snack ideas?

Shin splints!
Hi all! I have been suffering with shin splints for a good few months now and I just cannot shake them :( I know how I got them, it was from upping my running too quickly. The doctor said to get some rest and ice them, and also to get spongy insoles. Well the insoles haven't made much difference, the icing works for short…

Cooking for one
Hi all! Right, so I'm sure I'm not the only person living on their own here, and I just wondered how anyone else managed cooking for one. It's easy sorting out meat and poultry as you just cook what you need and freeze the rest, but how do you do your fruit and veg as I hate freezing it... Anyone have any good tips or nice…
