Hi, I have just joined a gym which I'm excited about, but I have no idea where to start with how long i should go on each machine/ which ones should I use for best results etc. I've had an induction so I know how to use them, I just don't know how to write myself a plan, or find one online! any suggestions?

new clothes!
Anyone finding it hard to get over the fact that you've dropped a dress size?? I walk into the shop and still pick up larges to try in the fitting room, and actually need a small now! Not complaining about success, I'm thrilled! But I also miss some of my old clothes that are waaaay to big now :(

I am really sensitive to bloating, I gave up wheat about 4 months ago and feel amazing for it and lost loads of weight (it broke my plateau!) But still at the end of the day I STILL have a swollen stomach and my weight will fluctuate from the morning to night almost 3lb! i don't think i drink enough water, could this be…

Hi
Hi, I thought I would join this group as I am from an Algerian/English background, but haven't really grown up in a Muslim environment, it was only my dad and my mothers side is Catholic. I've never really made up my mind about my faith, but I thought I should join in here and meet some people as I've never really met a…

up-and-down!
I plateaued about three weeks ago, and taking peoples advice (reluctantly) I upped my calories from 1200 to 1390. Much to my surprise and glee, I started to loose weight again! BUT when I weigh myself in the morning I'm about 137-8 pounds, then in the evening i'm 140 again. Sometimes if I've eaten too much wheat or salt…

stuck
I've been sticking as much as I can to my calorie intake, even raising it slightly from 1200 to 1390 so I loose a pound a week instead of 1 1/2, but i've hit a plateau and can't get below 140 lbs! I haven't had time to exercise much as I work all day but I'm on my feet most of the day. I don't really know what i'm doing…

Fruit and Carbs
I'm trying to lower my carb intake, but all of my carbs seem to come from fruit! (bananas, nectarines) and I don't really want to give those up...are fruity carbs bad?

yo-yo calories
My calories over the week seem to be pretty low, even though i'm pretty full all day, but at the weekend I tend to go over. Does this balance things out? say over 200 calories on sunday but under on monday, does that make it ok? or am I not eating enough/ should i try stick to 1200 a day?

can someone look at my diary?
I need some to help, I'm not sure whether my diary is totally all over the place as I've gone over my calorie count here and there, but also gone under other days...is this bad? Will it mess with my metabolism? ps. I had the worst cheat day today, don't judge! :)

'Cheat' days
Since using MFP, I've become SO paranoid about having a cheat day. I am on 1200 calories a day, and today went over that by 200...seeing that big -200 in red makes me feel like I've really failed, is it bad to have a cheat day? I've not had one the whole time I've been doing it, and today's made me feel worse by eating…

fruit and sugar
I know that fruit has 'good' sugar that is way different to sugar in say chocolate, but i do eat a lot of fruit, say 5 - 6 pieces a day. On MFP its saying i'm way way over my sugar allowance, but its literally just from fruit....don't understand, help! should I not eat so much fruit?

This is always why I give up!
I've been eating super healthy and exercising really hard for about 2 and a half weeks, and NOTHING. I never seem to loose weight, and I always just give up at this point cause i feel like my body doesn't want me to do it! Anyone else have this problem?

head rushing in evenings
hey, I've been really proud of myself for how well i've done since i've been on here, hitting my goals (no cheats!) and exercising regularly. But I'm slightly concerned that in the evenings I get a weird rush of blood to the head or mild dizziness when i'm in bed mostly, but this hasn't happened before...is it related? I…

Anyone work from home?
I have a fashion business where I live in my studio and it's pretty difficult to stay away from the fridge/stay in bed! I find it super hard to get up early to start work/ start a morning exercise regime, anyone else have this problem? After doing MFP, I do feel a lot more awake and energized, but I'm rubbish at motivating…

Too much protein
I've been hitting my calorie targets (or just coming under) but I always seem to be -20 protein which means I'm eating more than my goal...I'm not sure but is that bad? Does it make you put on weight or not?
