Taking a week off
Does anyone do this? I've read it can be good for some people but not so good for others? I normally exercise 4-5 times a week but was going to just take a week off however don't want my fitness levels to just disappear (they didn't last time but when I restarted exercising it did seem harder). What do people think?

30 Day Shred
So I finished the 30 day shred last Monday (go me!) However now I don't really know what to do? Like surely if I don't do it anymore my fitness level will decrease (ill still be exercising in other ways as usual but replacing the 30 day shred with another exercise DVD) so am a bit in the dark about what I should do? Should…

What I mean is I only dont track cals now if I'm at a special ocassion however been to quite a few recently as Jan/Feb is a lot of birthdays etc however in the week I've been eating like less than what…

Fell off again
So I started really good this week, eating either below or just on my cals and was exercising, my bloated stomach had reduced since Christmas and I was feeling really positive. However last night I had a melt down and just ate and ate and ate without counting calories! I feel so ashamed and I know I can just treat today as…

Going over
So I've been logging all my calories and have been doing pretty well with only one day a week where I have gone over. However I have made sure my calories have balanced out at the end of the week so I am under my weekly calorie intake :) however this week I've not been able to do that and I'm around 600 calories over :/…
-
Variation
I am just wondering how important variation is to weight loss. Due to personal issues I only tend to eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch at least 5/7 days and then tea really varies dependent on my mood. I am just wondering if this can actually hinder weight loss?
-
Going over
So this week I have tracked all my calories but am over my weekly cals by quite a bit due to a few indulgences here and there. I won't be making a habit of this but am wondering how much this would have an effect on my weight loss? I usually just have a cheat free day where I don't count calories but have decided to just…

Eating Out
What do you do when you eat out and the place you go to isnt on MFP? also same for cocktails that aren't listed? I don't want to not track even on ocassion so what do people do?

Another gain
So after two weeks of not weighing myself I weighed myself and well what do you know I have gained like 2lb and a bit. Seriously how is this possible. I know its only been two weeks and I've upper my calories to compensate for my exercise (also was gaining on 1440) but I was so strict with myself this week! Every time I…

Why can't you lose holiday weight?
This baffles me. I came off holiday 6 weeks ago right and gained like 10lbs. I have now as of last week managed to lose 5lbs of which is great (except it was probably mostly water weight etc) and have now found it increasingly difficult to lose the remaining 5lbs so I can be at my pre holiday weight. Now I will admit over…
-
Upped Calories and Gained
So since Tuesday I upped my calories because people suggested on here 1410 was too low and I should up my activity level to lightly active as I aim to exercise 5 times a week. However after 3 days of doing this I have measured myself this morning and have gained on my chest and hips by a good half an inch :/ really…
-
What if you don't track exercise?
So on here I don't log my exercise because I have no idea how to log exercise DVDS, however I am wondering if I eat my allocated calories per day and exercise but don't log it if I will lose weight or not? I used to log my exercise 3 times a week as I did running but have fallen out with that so now do exercise dvds at…
-
Keep Messing Up
I just keep messing up :/ I stuff my face at night and give into cravings and I am losing motivation to do exercise. I feel so bad because it is clearly showing but I just don't have the will power to track everything and be healthy 24/7. How can I get back on the wagon and have the same motivation I had like a few months…
-
Small weight loss
So I stuck pretty much quite well to my cal limit this week and exercised 4 times already but have only lost 0.2lbs. This has really disheartened me and I don't really know what to do. I just don't understand how I could lose just so little when I have been eating healthily and exercising :(

Josie Gibson 30 second slim
Anyone a fan? I have just done Level 1 for the first time and loved it! However I just feel like 20 mins is not enough to lose weight? Josie said you will burn fat for 48 hours but I find this hard to believe? Just wanted to know peoples opinions on this? Thanks
-
Exercise Time
So because of my busy schedule I sometimes can only do a 20 min work out (usually two of the 10 min solution work outs) 3/4 times a week but I just feel like this isn't enough every week, sometimes I do cardio DVDs so I exercise 5 days a week but I am just not feeling like this will help me lose weight?

Tired of Running
So I have been running since April 2014 approx 3 times a week and I am at the point now where I am just sick and tired of doing it. I run outside and with my partner so its not a case of anything to do with that, it is just that I am sick of going out and running for 30 mins (this is what I have built myself up for) so…

Activity Level
I don't know whether I should put Sedentary or Light? Currently I work 2 days a week as a Health Care Assistant but in a few weeks I will be starting a full time job as a receptionist but this is only 8:00-3:00pm so am wondering what people think I should put down?

Hard to lose
So before my holiday I manages to lose quite a bit of weight but after coming back my weight loss was pretty slow, however this weeks weigh in saw me gain like nearly 2lbs, in fairness last Tuesday was a special ocassion so my calories were a bit wild however I stuck to my calories after that and got back on track then…

10 min solution dvd
I have just bought my first 10 min solution dvd and got the one with the resistance band. I am just wondering if 10 mins a day is going to be enough? I usually run 3 times a week then do 2 exercise dvds on my non running days then have 2 days rest but I am hoping to fit in a day of just doing at least one of these 10 min…

When you don't make up your weekly cals
What do you do when you go over your weekly allowance? I have had a few days where my cal limit has been over and although I have been exercising to burn some of them off I worked it out and I would have to eat under 1000 cals for the weekend to put my cals back on track. So what do you normally do when this happens? This…

Best running app
What is the best running app you have found? I am currently using run double but the gps seems to be pretty rubbish and on my map of my route (which is always the same path just backwards and forwards) it goes very off course every now and then so am looking for a more accurate one.

Guve Up for August
So I was thinking seen as today is the 1st August that it would be a good idea to give up something or create a goal for myself :) I have no idea what to do but am wondering if other people have considered doing this today?

So both me and my boyfriend are using the run double app, we have been doing the exact same route but mine today said I did 5k in 29 mins but his in 33 mins even though we were always in seeing distance of one another I then looked at my map the app shows and it has this red line showing where I ran and it was right but…

Running in the Heat
For those people who have been experiencing a lot of heat with the weather recently; how do you still go running? Where I am it has been pushing 27 degrees and it is so warm I feel like passing out even with walking. I know I could run in the morning but I start work at 7:00am and then when I come home I often need early…
