food triggers - binge eating
Yesterday I found out that my trigger to eat chocolate & biscuits is sausages. I was offered a small sausage sandwich (on Brown no butter), I was hungry so thought it wouldn't be so bad - my mistake! As soon as I'd eaten it I had a huge craving for chocolate and I mean huge! So I ate a chocolate biscuit and before I knew…

Hungry all the time!
I'd been managing my daily food intake quite well until I was made redundant and ever since I've been off the rails a bit. I'm trying to rein myself in now but for the last few days I've been eating around 1300 calories a day but have been so hungry all the time. My exercising has only netted around 200 - 400 each day but…

Obviously i'm going to be super careful with what i eat over the next week and increase my exercise but is there anything else i can do to shrink my stomach/hips/thighs, even just a little…

I've sussed it - people want me to FAIL!
I'm surrounded by family, friends and loved ones - people who I honestly think want me to fail at being healthy, I know that they like me or even love me but why oh why do they keep wanting me to eat biscuits, cakes, chocolate or miss out a 'few' exercise sessions...has anyone else noticed this with their family? A few…

Why does losing weight make me feel fat?
Or is it just me? But i now weigh 147lbs, i'm 5ft 6in and so far i've lost just over 18lbs so I should be feeling good about myself - but I don't! :frown: I look at myself and see all these areas of fat that seem to have got bigger & wobblier in my eyes - even though i'm exercising 5 times a week doing both strength &…

Unexpected Workouts?
I was given a large rug by my mother in law at the weekend which i thought was a very nice gesture from her, but now i'm not so sure. It's been down 3 days & it looks like i've had it down a year & never cleaned it! It picks up every speck of dust, fluff & cotton going & took me a good 45 minutes of hoovering on my hands &…

Is Sexercise a valid workout?
I'm curious to know what other people think, is it an unlogged bonus or do you regularly add it to your cardio goals for the day? Also how do you accurately log this as surely wearing a HRM is a bit off putting? :blushing:

OMG I'm Freaking out!
I'm doing my first 5k run on Sunday, ok you might not think that's a big deal but it is to me! I was speaking to my husband this morning & he said he was proud of what i'd achieved and that if i'd have gone back a few years then there's no way i'd have believed I could have run a race at all let alone 5k (due to many…

HRM Pressie Dilema!
For my birthday i'd asked family to either get me sports stuff or money towards sports stuff....my hubby got me a HRM (yes!) but only a basic model & not one i'd been hinting at (noooo)...so my question is do i send it back & get the one i wanted or keep it & tell him it's perfect? I know it sounds ungrateful but you know…

Help cinema snack ideas required!
I haven't been to the cinema in months but the last time I went I succumbed to the popcorn & chocolates and huge drinks readily available, now I'm off tonight & I don't know what I can take as a good low fat alternative as I can't just sit there with nothing. Any ideas please? x

Why can't I run?
I've been exercising for a while now and have progressed from running on the stop with the Wii to using a treadmill and I seem to do ok, i'm now running for 20 minutes without too much strain or effort. I've been wanting to run on the road for some time & last week I took the plunge. Well I have to say I really struggled…

I've been activly exercising for a few weeks now & have managed to pull a muscle in my back/rib cage this morning, god only knows how i've managed that!
