Frustrated with belly
I’ve been sticking religiously to my calories, going to the gym and doing strength training, walking minimum of 10k steps a day and drinking 2.5 - 4 litres of water a day. I’ve not lost weight but I’ve not gained it either but feel like I’ve gained belly fat. Any thoughts?

At a loss of what I’m doing wrong!
I lost 3.5 stone over a period of about 2.5 years. I am doing strength training at the gym. Minimum of 4 times a week. Sometimes 5 or 6 times a week. On weekdays I do a program of 30 minutes. Weekend I do an hour. I’ve been doing this since September last year. I am eating healthy and have been sticking to around 1400…

Lost the plot and the will to live (metaphorically)
I have to date, or more accurately at sometime in the last 4 months lost a total of 2 stone and 2lb. I now have put on 5lbs and if I don't take control it is going to get worse. Problem is motivation and feeling of complete fed-up-ness. I have just been through a redundancy consultation to find that I am safe but with the…

How can I build lean muscle without going to the gym???
I have been dieting for two years and only lost 2 stone. My muscle tone is very poor and I keep reading that to build lean muscle increases metabolism and so will give me some weight loss. However, I don't want to join a gym. I went on youtube and there is so much there I don't know where to start. Tried to do some simple…

Pasta.... calories, I am confused
I always like to weigh my food as I dish up on the plate rather than from dried because I cook enough for me and my husband. This brings me to pasta - when I am searching the database I never know which one is calculated as dry and which as cooked. When I search cooked pasta it generally brings up values of fresh pasta or…

Weight loss stopped
I know what everyone is going to say - the scales are not the only measuring stick. Yes I can definitely see a difference in my body shape so that should be enough.... shouldn't it? I have changed my eating lifestyle for 2 years (and I say that because it needs to be a lifetime change not a diet) I have lost just under 2…

Trying to exercise in the morning but I feel sick
I have tried to exercise in the morning a few times now, everyone says its better to exercise in the morning - I have tried biking and walking but every time I feel sick because I have been told that you should not exercise on top of food, that you should leave it an hour after food for exercise and I don't have time to…

Just because its weight watchers don't be fooled!!
I had a weight watchers chocolate and vanilla mousse today - 106 calories. Yesterday I treated myself to 3 squares of dairy milk chocolate for just 130 calories. So I ask you all what would you prefer the mousse or the chocolate - having had both, the chocolate wins everytime for me. :love:

Muscle Spasms
I have got muscle spasms in my back. I think it was from swimming yesterday when I pushed to beat my best. I have read on the internet that muscle spasms are caused by overworking the muscles, de-hydration and an imbalance of electrolytes. I swam a mile yesterday (and I really pushed myself on effort, it was not a…

Kick up the butt!!
Hey guys I need a motivational kick up the butt. I have been on holiday - put on 1lb not too bad I suppose. Haven't been exercising since I got back and last weekends food intake was awful.

Hairy Dieters
I have just finished watching the hairy dieters. I don't know if anyone else saw it. They are both big blokes yet they are on a 1300 calorie a day diet. Doesn't this sound a little low for a 19 stone bloke?
