Looking for a support network, 24F
Hey :) I'm a 24-year-old full-time student aiming to lose 20kg before I graduate. I have struggled with my relationship with food for many years. I reached my goal weight before starting my degree but then turned back to food to help with the stress. In the past, I have relied on willpower, but I'm not convinced this is…

Not eating back calories after exercise.
So I try to eat around 1,200 calories a day, and I try to do daily exercise, but not too much. Is it bad to then still only eat 1,200 and not eat back the calories you burnt? Or is it actually better to do it this way? Some days I'm torn and think "oh I can eat a little extra," others I think that I should stick to my…

Getting out of a Rut.
Ok so I'm sure we've all had some not so good weeks, for me this has been one of them. I have two things I would like to ask. 1) Could some one check my diary and tell me if they think I have eaten too badly? We are our own harshest critics and my friends are trying to convince me I shouldn't worry and that I've done…

Sore neck when doing floor ab exercises.
I know that you aren't supposed to use your neck when doing ab exercises on the floor (e.g. crunches) but I get really bad pain in my neck. I can't work out what I'm doing wrong, even in front of the mirror. Suggestions?

NO self control...HELP
I have been trying to lose weight for so long. I'm in that 'skinny fat' phase, and the one thing that is stopping me is I can't go a day without some chocolate, or a cookie. When my family eats Ice-cream, I usually join in. I just have no self-control and I know I may just sound weak but I've tried, and I just end up…

Treadmill vs Outdoors
I feel insecure when I'm exercising, and like to work out on my own or with a close friend/relative. Because of this I usually run on the treadmill as it is in the guest room of our house and no one can see me in there while I'm running. I've heard though that it is not as beneficial as running outside? Is this true or…

Help! Running with knee injury
I have a tendency to dislocate my left knee cap and it has happened around 3 times. The most recent was when I was swimming in around April and I have been seeing a physio ever since. I'm around 1/2 to my goal of running 5km at a steady 9kmph and wear a knee brace when I run. Recently I've been experiencing some pain and…
