Also, if you can direct me to any information about the plan to save me the membership fee,…

Questions about the 5:2 / Intermittent Fasting Diet
Hi. I've been doing some research today and I'm interested in trying the 5:2 diet since it seems to have worked for so many people. I have a few questions though and I'm hoping someone on here may know the answers!! :-) 1.) Firstly, I read that on non-fasting days women should eat a normal daily allowance of calories - is…

Polar FT7 Chest Strap.... Bit of a long shot!
This is a bit of a long shot, but thought I would ask anyway. I have a Polar FT7 but somehow managed to misplace the chest strap with the heart rate sensor. Don't suppose anyone has a spare one for sale at all or know where I can buy a replacement? FYI - I'm based in the UK. Thanks x

LADIES: How to Combat Weight Gain on the Depo Injection?
Hey. I've been on the depo injection for 6 months now, after taking a break from it because I felt like I was gaining weight. Prior to that I'd been on it for a couple of years. If you look online it says in loads of places that it can cause weight gain but my doctor say this isn't true, and that the only thing it may do…

First Week
Day 3 and I've lost 2lbs. Not gonna lie, I was hoping it would be more since I'm being so strict on what I'm eating and the carb restriction but that being said it's better than a gain! I've so far had keto flu/carb flu though, and I feel lousy. Also, my mum kept trying to sway me into eating treats and stuff last night…

Day 1
Hello! :-) I've started my low carb diet today, based loosely on Atkins/Dukan and hoping to lose 50lbs.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and the FODMAP diet...
Hi everyone! Not sure if I'm posting this in the right topic section but hopefully it will get picked up anyway :-) I've been diagnosed with IBS since around 4 years ago, with alternating flare ups of IBS-C and IBS-D. Mostly, the flares come from when I've eaten something too stodgy like bread, pies, potatoes, etc. however…

Gym Workout Plan for Weight Loss
Hi, So I've been on MFP for a few years now. When I started out I did great, logged all my food, ate a lot better and also worked out a lot. And this had good results. However, when myself and my ex-partner moved house we fell off the wagon somewhat and then it was difficult to get back on it. My weight crept up and at the…

Polar Heart Rate Monitors - FT4 or FT7??
Hey, So I'm after buying an HRM but I'm not sure which to go with. I think I've definitely decided on a Polar one but can't choose between an FT4 or an FT7. There's not much difference in price (in the UK, that is) so I was really wondering if anyone knew of any major differences from using one or both? Also, I've noticed…
