Friends? Especially ones who drew the short straw too
Hey, I’m feeling motivated but I could really do with some support buddies who are active on here. Please add me if you want some support too. I have PCOS and chronic fatigue so I kinda drew the short straw for weight loss 😂 But I’m determined to lose about 5kg to see if it helps my physical symptoms any and I don’t want…

Anyone doing 5:2/intermittent fasting?
Hi, after I watched the BBC horizon programme on the health and weight loss benefits of intermittent fasting (I'm from U.K) I am thinking of having a go at the 5:2 diet. I averaged out my weekly expenditure and if I eat 600 on "fast" days and 1700 on "feed" days it's still the same deficit as restricting calories every…

You know how it is, dark nights, coming home late, boyfriend incapable of cooking... it's time to bang it all in the slow cooker in the AM and come home to something hot (instead of eating quick rubbish) methinks. I'd love to discover something new, so fire away and share your culinary masterpeices!

deficit near goal/fat loss cycle cookie monster hormone?
Hi, I've googled and searched the forums before I posted this, so sorry if it's been asked a million times; my search skills aren't the best. How do you calculate what percentage of TDEE your deficit should be according to your weight/body fat% in relation to goal weight? I'm near on/near goal weight now but I'm still…

media mindwashing, bah humbug?
It get's to a certain time of year and the media is full of FOOOD. Not just food but the whole "tis the season to stuff you're face" food, adverts, cooking shows etc. I'll feel bombarded by people telling me to loosen up and eat junk and the t.v telling me to reward myself for....something. You're treated like an alien if…

HRM battery change time?
My HRM is giving whacky readings, last week it was jumping up to 220+ this week it's having trouble detecting my HR and when it does it's like 55 or so (because I've been stood there for a million years fiddling with my chest strap or watch) as soon as I move it loses it and assumes that the entire time my HR has remained…

Discrepency between HRM and mfp calories burned. WHY SO BIG?
Hi :) I can understand the calorie burn calculators on here being different to what you actually burn, it's an estimate after all. But (and forgive me if I'm the 10,000000th person to make this thread) how can they be SOOOO FARRR off my HRM? For example if I do an hour of Taekwon-do and use my HRM I burn around 300 cals…

Sharing blog on a little victory
Hi all, It's a small step I know. One tiny victory, but they all add up right? I don't know about anyone else but in therapy one of the things I was told to do is to write a list of distractions (read a book, walk the dog etc) for when you feel the urge to binge. In my defeatist mind, I have tried half- heartedly but…
