WEEKEND BINGER.
I eat so well during the week, usually under my calories goal, exercise good. WEEKEND. Don't exercise (gym is open from 9am - 1pm don't have much time) and I eat EVERYTHING, chocolate, sweets, unhealthy meals ANYTHING and everything I want. I go over by like 1500 calories on Saturday and on Sunday each! It's driving me mad…

Completely stuck!
No idea what to do. I'm currently on 1470 calories a day. I go to the gym and do cardio for an hour and burn around 600 calories and I usually have 400 calories remaining every day. I do this 5 or 6 days a week. The day or two I don't go to the gym, I seriously binge eat. I eat about 3000 calories on a rest day, which is…

Food is taking over.
I've gone away for a week, I came on Saturday and for the past three days I've gone over my calorie count quite a bit. I'm going to a gym tomorrow morning but when I eat something bad I just don't stop! Not going home until Sunday and I don't want to put any weight on. I feel like I've ruined all my efforts these past 3…

Mindless snacking!
My biggest downfall. SNACKING. I'm not hungry, I had a satisfying dinner. But why am I sat here stuffing my face with bon bons? Why do I crave sweets and chocolate on an evening? I don't snack during the day, but on an evening I eat everything in sight and I'm never usually hungry! I feel like I should eat because I have…

Holiday!
So today is Easter and I purposely saved calories this week so I could eat chocolate today. However, I'll probably have some left over next week. I'm going on holiday with my family tomorrow until Friday, meaning no exercise or gym. Apart from swimming and walking around. I'm scared I'll just keep a load of rubbish this…

Calories in a meat and veg samosa?
Ordered a meat and veg samosa from the takeaway and they're average size for a samosa, not the mini ones. Some say they have around 200 calories but others say 350? If it's the latter I'll go over by 40 calories and I really didn't want to go over today. Which do I log?!

Injuries and C25K
I started Couch To 5K a while ago and got to the end of week 2 and then pulled a muscle on the front of my calf. I stopped and rested it for about 3 weeks, although I wanted to keep going but it would only get worse. So I started C25K again recently and I've just finished week one and it's happened again! I'm fed up of it…

Should I eat a deficit if I'm trying to build muscle?
I'm trying to tone up and get stronger. MFP is currently set to 1/2lb loss a week because I'm too scared to up the calories anymore. I don't what to eat to build muscle either. But if I eat a deficit will I build muscle or not? I'm guessing on 1/2lb loss a week the deficit is 250 cals.

Any idea on how I should log it? Or not eat it at all haha.

Will this work?
After months of constant cardio and trying to lose weight, I've realized, with the help of you guys, that I need to build muscle and lose fat. So, I have a workout bench now which includes a barbell and leg raiser weight thing. I'm hopeless at lifting because I'm so weak, but I'm trying my hardest. I'm going to do this for…

Weight put on...
I recently increased my calorie intake from 1200 to 1410 when I started the 30 Day Shred. I go to the gym on top of doing the Shred and I didn't used to eat back my exercise calories but now I eat most of them. I usually have 300 calories left a day. Well apart from weekends when I do eat a bit more. I used to weigh 109lbs…

Should I or shouldn't I?
My weight loss is set to 1lb per week and that gives me 1200 calories. I'm 111lbs and 5ft 3in and I don't really want to lose weight, I mainly want to tone up. So should I change it from 1lb weight loss/week to 1/2lb weight loss/week. That gives me 1460 calories. Although yesterday I netted 870 calories and I ate 1629 and…

Change of plan?
For the past 4 months or so I have had a 1200 calorie goal and I've been burning 600 - 700 calories 5 days a week and netting around 600 - 800 calories, with a few cheat days... I'm 5ft 3in and 111lbs and I've been doing complete cardio. (I know I shouldn't...) My exercise routine consists of the elliptical and the…

How do I reduce my body fat percentage?
I'm not sure what it is as i don't know how to work it out... But I'm 5ft 3in and 109lbs the last time I weighed myself. My goal weight is 105lbs but I feel as if this wouldn't get rid of all the fat as I'm still flabby and not toned at all. How do I reduce my body fat exercise wise and what do I eat? I have no idea!…

Where to start?
I'm 5ft 3 109lbs and I have fat. I want to be 105lbs but my fat won't be gone. So, forget weight loss, I need to tone up. My calorie goal is 1200, but I obviously need to start weight training (which I do none of at the moment). The problem is, at my gym the weights are downstairs and the cardio is upstairs and I'm too…

Why was I so stupid?!
So, basically. I used to burn off a high number of calories then net calories from 200 - 600. What?! I know, way too low. I was tired and exhausted and I didn't even realise. I was almost falling asleep on machines at the gym. Lately, I've been 'accidentally' eating more calories, still under my goal, but I've been eating…

Addicted to chocolate!
Help! I got lots of chocolate for Christmas and I can't stop eating it! I binged Christmas day, boxing day and a bit yesterday but I went back to the gym today, burnt 900 calories and my meals have been healthy but I can't stop eating chocolate. I just keep giving in to temptations! Any tips?

I can't relax!
I went to the gym this morning and it will be my last session until the 28th because of all the Christmas celebrations and I'm sat here and I can't relax at all. I keep thinking about the bad foods I'm going to eat and all the weight I'm going to put on and it genuinely scares me. If I put weight on it'll really make me…

Away from the gym...
I'm going to visit my dad next Thursday until Sunday which means I can only get to the gym on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I usually go 5 or 6 days a week! I also struggle to stay on track with healthy eating as last time I went I ate a bit too much but I'm hoping I can learn from my mistakes. How do you not put on…

Am I losing weight healthily?
I am 5'3" and I weighed 120 pounds when I started and ate what I wanted when I wanted and thought because I went on the treadmill 35 minutes 5 days a week I was healthy. But I wasn't. So I joined a gym and I go 5 - 6 days a week for around an hour. I have lost 8 pounds and I weigh 112 pounds. I am very nervous about food…
