Heavy weight lifting results
I'm so excited to share this because I didn't even know how much success I have had this year. Past me: obsessed with the scales and counting calories, always beating myself up over 0.2kg here and there, which usually lead to binge eating ... I'm sure you all know the story. This year I have basically cut out all cardio,…

Sickness and the Gym - Need Advice
I'm having a hard time - beating myself up - and I could use some advice. I went away for 4 days, and my food while on holidays was terrible.

Have you experienced and broken a plateu?
Hey guys. I'm 6 weeks into my plateu and I want to get some real life statistics. It would help if I could just get feedback from people who have been through this - not just advice that people have read somewhere - I've read it to. The first thing you probably need to know is that I am right on the border of a…

Diet Soda
Ive read a million times that I shouldn't be drinking diet soda, and that coffee is no good. This is the first time EVER I think I've actually seen an arguement that convinces me that I really should quit the diet coke and coffee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpoAtwVyzZI Anyone have any comments on how legit this…

calories in/calories out.
I binged for about a week and a half. I stopped 2 days ago. And I'm talking a real binge, cake, McDonalds, pizza, ice cream, what else I'm not sure. I wasn't tracking so I can't tell you how much I went over each day...and although it might have just been 500 or so some days, it was certainly 1000 or more other days. Also,…

Mood?
I feel like I'm going crazy. It seems at night time I am a different person, my thoughts about my relationships with other people and where I am in life are so negative but also just weird. For example last night I was convinced that I was devistated with homesickness for the town I grew up in and should move back there,…

Short-term Results Obsession
What do you do to help over come it? I feel my obsessions is what has always caused my downfall in the past (ie on the scales 5 times a day, 3 times in a row each time because they're digital and tend to show slightly different results each time). Also today is day 4 of a holiday without a scales and there are two things…

Here's an idea...
So I'm trying to eat a maximum of 100g of carbs a day (although realistically i aim for about 60g) and today I ate an extra 27g. So I looked online and it says 27g of carbs = 108 calories. I did a quick add of 108 calories to tomorrow to compensate. The idea being that you're supposed to burn more fat stores of energy when…

Fresh Food Delivery.
When I was thinner my sharehouse used to have fresh food delivered to our doorstep once a fortnight. Does anyone here do that? Does it help? I'm thinking of starting again with the hopes it will improve my bad habits. Help me eat some more fresh produce. Perhaps having fresh fruit in the house will stop me from doing…

Body Fat % (a question)
Just wondering - the body fat percentage table I was looking at has an ¨obese¨ range and an ¨average¨ range and a ¨fitness¨ range. Does this basically mean that if you are falling into the ¨average¨ range of body fat, you can still be very much overweight? Because I need to lose like 35 pounds to have a normal BMI But I…

Online Calculators
I noticed that online calculators (on this site and in general) grossly over-estimate my calorie burn in comparison to what the machines say at the gym. I change the estimates of calories burnt on this site - I was just wondering if anyone knows why/has found the same issue?

Over the last three days of eating 1200 cal and exercising every day only 0.2kg of weight loss. *sigh* Maybe this is just whinging, but is weight loss so slow with other people? Today I weigh 77.5kg/170lbs. Is there anyone else out there around my weight? How fast do you lose it? How many…
