Not at any specific milestones just feel great pictures
Well, I've been signed up on here for around a year now. I've only really started using my fitness pal since January the 6th this year. I've been trawling through old pictures to try and find one of me. The truth is I didn't like pictures when I got fat. I have some pictures as it was the point exactly a year ago when I…

Fat disapearing
Quite an odd question. I have so far lost 3 stone. I fully understand that you can not target fat reduction in certain areas but what I am noticing is that if I look down at my belly (which has reduced in inches quite a lot and I am very pleased) one side of my belly looks to stick out more than the other side. Only…

Strange one, exercising and arm pits
Hi guys, Since getting fit and active I've noticed I get quite an annoying itch under my arm pits. Tends to be during exercise and sometime after, if I don't do anything for a couple of days it tends to disapear until I start up again. I've swapped aerosol deodorant/anti perspirant for a roll on to see if this solves it…

What determines a calorie?
Is it how hard the food is to break down in the body? Eg a piece of lettuce is predominantly made from water so is easy to break down which is why it's low in calories? Just my hypothesising and looking into things really. Answers would be interesting to read.

Does the time it takes to loose weight frustrate you?
I feel like i'm doing really well but have 100 pounds to loose (less now) but I wish it would come quicker. I lost a lot initially and am now on a steady road of around 2/3 pounds a week but really cant see the end in sight! At this point (just over 2 and a half months) what do you guys use a motivator?

Swimming. How to improve futher.
I have been swimming now for a couple of months. I am a firm believer in not exercising for more than an hour or so as I feel you just burn muscle. I have gradually got better at swimming, my stamina and speed has improved and I felt that I could have carried on today when I finished. What could I do now? I am swimming 40…

Exercise while ill?
Do you do it? Annoyed with myself the last couple of weeks as I have been ill, feaverish and just generally bunged up. I then decided to start the 30 DS and I wish I had never started until I was back to 100%. Went swimming yesterday and did a measly 30 minutes half heartedly. I'd normally aim for around 45 minutes with a…

Do you ever feel the 'ideal weight' is too small?
Going from the famous south park quote by Carmen... "I'm not fat I'm big boned" My ideal weight according so some chart I saw in the doctors should be around 12 and a half stone. According to my height and weight. However, I, personally, would be very happy at around 14 stone. When I looked slim in the past ( at school) I…
