Are you sure you want to eat that?!!!
Does anyone else have people constantly asking them this? I get this all the time and it is really annoying me. If I want to eat a sweet or want to treat myself to a shop brought sandwich or something, they'll say, 'Oh, so you're not dieting anymore'. I keep telling people that I'm NOT on a diet and can eat whatever I want…

Joining the gym.. how can I overcome my embarrassment??
I've been thinking of joining the gym for around a week now but I just feel like I'll hate it and not go as I am too big. I brought a gym kit and everything but now am having second thoughts as I feel like I'm too overweight. It's ridiculous I know, but I just can't help wanting to cry when I see myself in my gym clothes.…

Lost motivation and just keep wanting to give up :(
Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday I ate a lot of food and just totally lost control. Well actually, I didn't eat a huge amount, but just really bad junk food which made me go way over my calorie limit on those days. I want to get over it and do well now but I have this awful mentality where once I've done badly at…

Increasing calories from 1200
Hi, Since the end of May I've been eating 1200 calories (most days I would have just under that and one month during Ramadan I ate around 900 calories). Recently I've been feeling a little more hungry and from what I read on here, 1200 calories is too low, so I would like to increase my calories to around 1300. So far I've…

What do you dislike about your gym??
I've recently joined a gym and although I like the fact that it's sort of close to where I live (about 20 minutes walk away) and it's a all women's gym where I feel comfortable, I am not impressed with so many other things about it. It's one I've been to before but that was many years ago. Now, it's under new management…

Eating 1200 calories.... too low??
People on here are constantly saying that 1200 calories per day is too low. After dieting unsuccessfully for so many years I wanted to do it the 'proper way' and eat healthy and exercise to lose weight rather than diet. I had thought that 1200 calories was an okay amount to eat and that going below that was unhealthy. I…

Really bad stomach pain after 'cheat day/meal'
Yesterday after exactly 4 months of starting to eat healthier I had a takeout meal. I had around half of my usual bowl of oats with fruit in the morning and then at around 2pm I ate a burger and chips meal. Pretty much straight after that I had stomach cramps and didn't have anything more to eat, just had a cup of tea in…

Would like some more friends...
Hi, I've been on this site for a week or and so far have been finding it really helpful. I've been tracking my food and calorie intake for some years now (since 2005), but it's much easier to do that on here as I don't have to calculate everything myself! I'd really like some more friends as I could do with some…

Hi.... newbie former crash dieter
Hi everyone, I'm Sabrina I just joined the site as I would love to have people to chat to who are also trying to lose weight and also I think I can learn a thing or two from people on here (hopefully). I've been trying to lose weight since the end of May and so far it has not been too difficult, but my weight loss is…
