'Unknown Entry'
I have a food that I can't remove from 22/11/2018- it just says 'unknown entry' and when I try to edit, it says I can't, just comes up with a blank space where the usual stuff would be in the box. Help?

How long before exercise causes weight loss?
Hey guys, just wondering how long it takes for exercise to show a drop in weight? I did massive walk yesterday, about 10k, no weight loss this morning! Feeling growchy because I should have lost something this week, and last week my big walk seemed to show up the next day! Seriously grouchy about this. Feels like I ended…

Calorie Calculation
Bear in mind, my maths is abysmal. :s But what I work out never seems to match what the packaging says! Tesco packaging says: '210 calories per portion.' 2 portions per pack. Packing ALSO says: Calories per 100g: 149 330 grams in a pack. 149 divided by 100 = 1.49 That means 1.49 calories in a gram. 1.49 x 330 = 491.7 So...…

Anyone else spread out their calories like this?
Wondering if anyone else does this? I generally have a limited calorie lunch and breakfast, but save my calories for a big meal in the evening? I don't get the chance to eat big meals during the day due to early starts and short lunch breaks, and my evening meal can be anywhere up to 1000 calories, but I still fit in to my…

What do you wish would burn calories?
I wish *blank* would burn loads of calories, because I do it all the time. For me? Cuddling cats. I seem to be constantly doing it. Also typing. Then I would shrink while I'm at work >_<

Support has been no help, so a tech question...
Recent issues with this website (both desktop and mobile versions): 1) Having to refresh multiple times because the exercise is put in but the page doesn't show it. 2) My calories don't change when I put in food and sometimes multiple refreshes don't help. Then it goes back to showing... then doesn't show at all again.…

Girls- average weight gain/fluctuation during period?
I weighed myself on Wednesday, a couple of days before my period and I'd lost four pounds in ten days (woohaa!), then I screwed up with a takeaway on Sunday, walked for eight and half hours (by my calculations I more than worked it off!) but weighed myself yesterday and now the scales say I've put on two pounds. My period…

Cellulitis hangover...
I had a nasty case of cellulitis last year and it's left a bump at the bottom of my leg. I still get general swelling issues (though I do take precautions like keeping my leg up when sitting and raising my mattress at night), but specifically there is a fleshy, solid-ish lump under the skin where the huge blister was, and…

Takeaway calories, UK only. :)
UK peeps, those containers that hold Chow Mein etc we get from Chinese takeaways... any idea the kind of grams are in there, the calories? For example, a plain chow mein. How many grams in the average plastic container and reckoning of calories? I look it up and all I get is cups, which just aint helpful for me. ;)

Favourite smoothie recipes?

Website issues
Problems in the last two days: 1) I put my food in, I go back to the page later on and I have to refresh to see what's already been entered. 2) It keeps telling me I can't access certain pages, I refresh and it comes up with server error. Anything wrong with the site at the moment? Nothing in the support section is helping…

What's your weakness?
I'm curious as to what food/drink sabotages your otherwise healthy day. Mine is anything cinnamon, bakery, or goddamn Papa John's pizza and chicken wings. >_<

Toning exercises for the 300lbs+ club.
I've tried searching online for a video to follow (because written instructions just confuse me- I need to SEE how it's done) that's meant for obese people. I need to tone up DESPERATELY but I can't do all the exercises that slimmer people can do e.g. push ups (I am too heavy for this) and various things where I have to…

Alternate uses for a smoothie maker!
Okay, I got my new kitchen toy and I'm a little obsessed. :P But smoothies are for breakfast only, as I can make them the night before and they fill me up in the morning! SO. What else can I use my new toy for? Gimme some ideas. It's the Breville VBL062 Blend-Active Blender - 600 ml.

Your nicest 20 minute meals!
I am literally asking for 20 minutes here, for rushed times and after a late shift. I fed up with 'healthy' ready meals. Salt content aint great. (No beans, chickpeas or lentils!)

UK people: Grams of frozen chips!
I have no scales (they've mysteriously gone walkabout) and I am not sure how many grams of Asda sweet potato fries I've been eating recently... In general, how many oven chips would you say goes into 200g? What does it look like on a plate? (Also, if frozen, what difference does ice/water make before they go in the oven?)…

Apologies, this will be a bit gross.
Trying to figure out exactly what I've lost this week, since last week I weighed myself BEFORE I went for a poop. This week I waited until AFTER I'd pooped, and the weight loss was 6lbs, which just isn't possible after my eating this week. How much difference can a poop make to the scales? Again, apologies for the ick.

I reeeeally screwed up.
So... tips on working off a pizza? And a side? DAMMIT, PAPA JOHNS. Obviously tomorrow isn't at all viable for weight loss. But the last two days I really messed up and I hate myself for it. I can't even hold my weight level at the moment! How can I work the MASSIVE excess off? I've undone at least two weeks work here. :(
-
Ooooooh boy, did I screw up...
Suffice to say, pizza to myself, dough balls and cinnamon knots. (Damn you Papa John's and damn my lack of freaking willpower!) So. Given that I've probably screwed up the last two weeks hard work with this, any tips for working off the excess so I haven't lost two weeks of being good? (We are talking waaaaay over the…

UK People: Good toning exercisers?
I have weights and a Pilate's magic circle that I do basic stuff with, but what other items have worked for you? Not huge expensive machines, just toning aids like Thigh Toner or the equivalent for arms that work really well. I always do better with equipment than with just basic exercises or weights. I am mostly trying to…

Picky vegetarian meal ideas.
I want to avoid meat as much as possible and hopefully not go for the meat substitutes or tofu. Just veg and other such things. (Not vegan.) But I hate beans. And chickpeas. Avoiding these things (and broccoli and cauliflower), vegetarian meals please! I'm getting bored with stir fry >_<

Getting used to lower calorie limits.
Woohoo! I've lost two stone. And now my calorie limit is much lower than it was before, even for just losing 1 pound a week. It's hard to get used to especially as I don't have much chance for exercise, so I can't burn off what I overeat. Advice, perchance? Bear in mind I am NOT a good cook and have no opportunity to learn…

Give me your quickest dinner recipes!
Bear in mind I am no cooking genius nor particularly fond of cooking in the first place. I need your twenty-minute-or-less (cooked and fresh) recipes. I have 8pm finishing shifts and need something uber-quick to cook when I get home. I'm not veggie but I don't eat seafood of any kind. Many thanks!

The Little Victories Thread!
I want this to be a sticky or to be bumped to the top by everyone sharing their mini-successes throughout the week. Share your little victories, when you beat temptation when you'd normally fail! Mine: 1) Shopping in supermarket: Went through all my danger-aisles (treats and fatty products) without picking up a thing. 2)…

Binge Eating Disorder
I've not been diagnosed, but it's obvious that I have a serious issue with overeating, beyond the normal issues that a diet can solve. I can't stop snacking or eating huge portions. I can eat healthy for like a day or so but end up just sinking into old habits. It's related to depression and I've been to the doctor but…

Tips and tricks
The same generic advice is all over the internet... I want to know your personal tricks to overcome your bad habits! e.g. I keep mini-lollies in the freezer and have started eating cold main meals at work... then PIG on light salad in the evening (my binge danger zone.) Keep this going!

Body issues when starting diets.
Basically, my IBS has been awful the last couple of days as I've restarted my healthy eating (after a month of being very VERY BAD). Is this basically my body detoxing? I feel like I am constantly running to the bathroom. It's uncomfortable and I want to know if it will stop soon, or keep going for a while. Help!

Healthy food for constant snackers..?
Until I beat my over-eating once and for all, any ideas for desk-snacks I can keep handy that wont add a million ton of calories to my daily allowance? It's bad habit and I know I'm asking for the moon here, but any ideas? (Not necessarily all fruit and veg?)
