Rower machine- 1500m ?
Heya. I started a program in the gym and the instructor wants me to do 1500m on the rower machine in under 7 minutes with the resistance of 10. Is this possible? Whenever I do it the quickest time was 7:16 but in pretty out of breath when I get to it. Is this realistic? I'm 5'1 64kg.

Nerly 20lbs down but clothes seem to fit the same. - RANT.
I have become very frustrated in the past two days with my weight loss. I'm a shorty - 5'1 and I am currently 145lbs. at my heaviest I was 163lbs. I'm nearly down a huge milestone of 20lbs and for my small frame I do see some difference. In my gym clothes I look great and I feel slimmer. It has to be the best feeling ever.…

No bananas due to sugar content?
Heya everyone. I'm trying to educate myself a little more so I want to hear about your knowledge on the subject. I have two girls I work with both have had personal trainers set up food plans for them. Both have said that their personal trainers don't recommend eating bananas because of the sugar content. But isn't the…

Does it matter when you exercise?
Working retail at this time of year is hectic. Lately I have been able to exercise 3 times per week which is good, but all those days seem to be in a row as my schedule only allows for that. For example this week I went to the gym Monday, Tues, Wed. I could go tomorrow but 4 days in a row seem excessive, with my work…

Will the rest of my body catch up? - Help.
Heya! So far in my short weight loss journey I have lost almost 6KG which makes me happy. Some has come off my belly and arms, but I have noticed my legs have lost the most. Even when I measured them today my thighs went from 63cm to 61cm and it is a lot more noticeable than the rest of my body. I know I'm more of an…

How come weight doesn't come off the body in a steady pace?
Can someone please explain the science behind this. On the 13th of August I stepped on the scale and I was about 71.4kg. I did have the coming weeks full of more drinking than expected so I didn't expect to lose anything but yesterday morning I stepped on the scale and somehow it went down to 70.9kg. Excited about the…

Obsessing over food.
Ever since I've started to use MFP (about two weeks) I have become obsessed with food. I always feel like I have to count every single calorie, think about exactly how many grams of pasta I will have or will that dash of mayo will wreck my daily calories. This is driving me absolutely crazy. Has anyone got any tips how to…

YogoNurt Help! - Liberte Greek Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt.
So I have this friend in work whom always eats the Liberte yogurts in all the flavours(the big 450g tub). She is into her fitness and this yogurt intrigued me. Decided to pick it up and I LOVE IT. But half way through the tub I looked a the sugar content. 11.5grams of sugar per 100g serving. This can hardly be a healthy…

The hell that is store mirrors.
Hey lovely people! Have a bit of a bummer story to tell you. I have been finally going to the gym, and I swear at home I feel thinner (Though haven't lost much), I even could close a pair of shorts I couldn't before! (YAY) I decided to treat myself and go shopping, especially as I have a party to attend this Saturday for a…

A year and no change.
Hello guys! I just feel a bit depressed. It has been about a year since I have tried to lose weight and change my habits. A few months ago I was 59KG ( 130lbs) but now somehow I am back to my original weight of 63kg(138lbs). The weight literally crept on me, and I have no idea how. The photo I'm linking here is from just…

Motivation to go to the gym..
Finally in the middle of January I found and signed up for a gym close to me. It was cheap and it has everything I need. Might not be the best, but It is pretty good. I have gone there a couple of times and it was good, but now I have lost any motivation to go there... The thing is the gym is in the same building as my job…

Will I lose more if I exercise ?
I've been watching what I eat and eating my 1200 calories a day to lose around 1 pound a week. So far I've lost 3kg which is 6.6lbs. Will exercise increase the weight loss? My plan for now is to lose weight first and then tone up my body. Or will just the sports I do just let me eat more for that day?

The pooch.
As I have been slowly, very slowly losing weight, I have noticed my waist getting slimmer. I even have a start of a little dip going straight down in the middle of it. (Not sure what that is called). But my pooch, just bulges out more than it ever did. I understand that weight can't be lost in one specific area, but when I…

Somebody noticed! :D
I was in work yesterday and the security guy asked if I have been dieting because I look slimmer! LET'S ALL PARTY! No but seriously, nobody else had noticed, or maybe just not pointing it out. I haven't been dieting, but just watching what I eat! This for sure is keeping me motivated. If you need a motivation boost, post…

Tuna every day? Need substitute.
In the past two weeks I have been into eating canned tuna with sweetcorn. It's a great lunch option for me, it's easy and I love how it tastes. It's not many calories either, 120g of tuna + a few spoons of sweetcorn. Comes to less than 300 calories. I decided to google the benefits of canned tuna, and it suggested that…

Reality Check - Dealing with it.
I may post here a lot, but I need to get this off my chest. I asked in a different post how to take good Before&After photos. A person suggested keeping the camera in the middle of my body. So I did just that, and I can't believe how FAT I am. I finish the 30Day Shred tomorrow, and I swore I saw results, now I am doubting…

How to take good BEFORE & AFTER photos?
My whole goal for this year is to lose 15KG. 6 months later I am only starting my journey properly. On the 1st of January I took photos of myself to see my results later on. I did start the 30Day Shred and mid way I took some photos to compare. I did appear smaller and felt pretty happy with what I had done. Then on my…

Am I in denial about my weight?
I am 5'1 and 140 pounds. Been always with a belly, as far as I can remember. When I sit here, typing this, I don't feel as fat as I am. In my head I feel thin, even in the mirror I don't seem as big. But often when I walk and catch a reflection in a window, I look huge. I feel worse when I am hanging out with my very thin…

Skinny jeans problems.
I'm 5'1, around 140lbs. So short and chubby. I have always been chubby, ever since moving to Ireland. I ate a lot of crappy food when I first got here, but I may have lost a bit of weight since then. I used to hate skinny jeans because I thought I had really fat legs. Now I have grown to like my legs a bit more. There was…

Thigh gap.
So over the past years, I've noticed this obsession with thigh gaps. What are your opinions on them? Many people are trying to achieve them, some easier than others. But do you think it looks attractive? Or do you think a more of a fuller leg looks nice? I would like a thigh gap, simply because when I wear anything my…
