Confused!!
I've only made a handful of posts on here in the past but every post I make i start off by saying I've lost and gained weight for years. Sometimes fluctuating by 4 stone, so I know how to lose weight. Maybe my metabolism is just f****d now. Im 35 and got down to 197lbs in 2019 (I've been lower than that in the past) but…

Why aren’t I losing weight?
I know there’s probably (annoyingly) hundreds of these types of posts on here so I apologise in advance, I’ve fluctuated for years since the age of 16, my weight can go up by as much as 5 stone then I lose it again and so on. Which is why I’m worried I’ve permanently f****d my metabolism or something. If you look at my…

Where am I going wrong?
I started a weight loss plan on the 7th of January. At the time I weighed 247.6lbs. I set my calories to 1500, and done Country Heat 6 days out of 7 and lost 5.6lbs. This week I’ve only lost 1.8lbs. Outside of exercising I live a particularly sedentary lifestyle, I’m embarrassed to say. But have to be honest. When someone…

If a food contains all macronutrients...
I know most foods contain all macronutrients. But if a food contains almost as much carbs as it does protein, eating that food as a 'protein', wont you be getting too many carbs? For example: I've just started using the 21 day fix (but i'm doing Hammer and Chisel) food containers, I want a Linda McCartney birger for…

Pre-Workouts that work.
I need to get fit in the new year and need a pre workout, or mixture of pre workouts, that will give me energy. Any supplement I've ever tried in the past gas had no effect on me at all. I want something to make me get a rush of energy. I see so many people rave about pre workouts, there must be some that work. Are they…

Should I have lost more than 2lbs.
I've been doing Herbalife for a week now. I know it's not the best way to lose weight, I don't want people telling me how *kitten* it is. To maintain my current weight of 212lbs I should be consuming around 2400-2600 cals a day. Myfitnesspal have put me at 1600 a day for weight loss. As you can see from my diary, not only…

Micronutrients!
I made a thread the other night asking why i'm not losing weight. A few people pointed out to me how bad I eat (going by my diary). I genuinely didn't realise until I looked through and seen not only how over my limit I was with calories and macronutrients, but also micronutrients. I just tracked foods and tried to stay…

How am I not losing weight?
I've yo-yo dieted since the age of 16, i've said this on nearly every topic i've made because I think it's important to mention in the context of the few topics i've made on here, because I don't know if the constant losing/gaining/losing/gaining is having a big impact on my weight. I can go upto a year of being about 16…

I want to get ripped.
I know this is probably one of the most cliche statements a person can make when they want to get fit, but i'm confused with all the information. I think i've said on the few posts i've made on here in the past about my fluctuating weight. Last year I was 178lbs, at the moment i'm around 212lbs; this has been a pattern…

Vegan diet Vs non-Vegan diet.
I was a Vegan for 7 months last year. I went vegan after watching Earthlings. I intentionally lost 3 stone whilst also doing P90x. I started eating meat again in about February of this year and immediately started feeling very bloated and have piled on 10lbs. I started consuming animal products again because i'm around…

Questions about Bodybeast (Beachbody)
I plan to start this programme in the next couple of weeks. I've recently lost 3 stone using T25 and P90x3 cause I wanted to lose the fat and then start gaining muscle. First question is, will a Polar heart rate monitor FT4 (I think) be suitable for a programme like Bodybeast? Or weight training in general? Another…

Losing weight without doing any exercise at all.
It might seem like a stupid question as seen as i'm not planning to do no exercise, but if you're in a calorie deficit without exercise, why do people exercise aswell? Is it just for fitness and sculpting your body better? I've been doing really well with my exercise, but since Friday I haven't done any workouts and need…

Is the information my friend has been give wrong or right?
My mate told me last night he's trying to build muscle and go from 9% body fat to 6% body fat to get ripped. He's about 6ft2 or 3 and he's 24... His personal trainer has told him to consume 1,000 calories a day and do lots of cardio every single day and weights every other day. To me that seems very wrong. I said i'd ask…

Settings: Now i've lost weight... What should I do?
I made a couple of threads not too long ago about a 'plateau' I was in where I couldn't get past the 212lbs - 215lbs mark, i'd gone from 229lbs to 212lbs then the scale went up and down for about a month. So I decided to start tracking, and I went from that plateau down to todays weight of 204.6lbs. The weight seems to be…

Smashed through Weight loss plateau.
I was stuck in a weight loss plateau for literally about 2 months. I was stuck between 212 and 216 lbs, my stomach wasn't shrinking, yet I was working out every single day (P90x3). Then I re-downloaded MyFitnessPal app (which i'd previously deleted cause I didn't know how to use it) and for about 4 days i've been tracking…

P90x3 - 2400 meal plan.
I'm 212 and I should be consuming 2700 cals according to the p90x3 nutrition guide, but i'm having 2400 instead. I'm on week 4 and my nutrition has been awful, I haven't anywhere newr enough, so it's my own fault I haven't really lost weight (i've seen changes though). What I want to ask is, when I input my calories into…

BMR... How accurate is it?
I've just calculated my BMR... I'm 213 lbs (i've recently lost a stone but seem to have hit a plateau, i'm wondering if it's because i'm not eating enough) i'm 28 and i'm 5ft11. My BMR came out at 2104.29 I multiplied that by 1.725 because i'm doing P90x3 and it's come out at : 3629.90025 and then take 1,000 off to create…

Using Whey Protein as Meal Replacements.
First post. I don't lead a really busy lifestyle at the moment but I still like the convenience of having shakes as meal replacements. I'm not good at putting meals together, so for me to have a shake and know the exact amount of calories i'm consuming is better for me. I have about 2-3 stone to lose, been trying to lose…
