Fitness Blender
I have just been pointed in the direction of Fitness Blender...... wow there's a lot on there! Is it worth purchasing one of their routines? Or should I pick and choose and hope for the best ?

At home dumbbell routine
Hello, can anyone point me in the right direction for an at home dumbbell workout routine! I am a single mum and work full time, so going the gym just isn't an option. I have 2,5,7,10kg Dumbbells at home. Need to stop feeling sorry for myself about feeling overweight and start doing something about it! Thankyou xx

Wanting to get my fitness back with a bad back
Hi all, I have danced for many many years, always in reasonably good shape, but I quit dancing a couple of years ago due to just not bei able to fit it in with work/kids etc. I have basically put in 3 stone, feel dreadful, lethargic and to make it even better, have an excruciating bad back which I'm guessing is from the…

i need to stop thinking and dreaming about this and just get on with it
Anyone want to join me? I have been making excuses for too long now, promising myself that I'll have just one last binge and never actually starting the healthy eating. I feel tired, I feel low, I feel achy and I don't want to feel like this anymore. Who wants to join me on a new journey? Let's start this once and for all…

When you see the picture that shows just how big you've got......
Yes. That. It's just this second happened to me. My friend posted a picture on Facebook of me at the park today. I am so much bigger than I realised. I feel so sad about it. But on the other hand, I now have to do something about it. That's it...., this is my final straw

Why can't I do this??
Hi all, the short story is that I lost 4 stone a couple of years ago, then I went through a longish bout of feeling pretty down due to a few things happening. The result is that I've gained pretty much all of it back through binge eating. I know how to lose weight but I just can't seem to stick with it. Every night I think…

5:2 diet or normal calorie counting?
Morning all. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? About to start my weight loss journey the normal calorie counting way but yesterday, someone suggested the 5.2 diet. Does anyone have any recommendations either way? x
-
Any emotional eaters with small children?
Morning all, just looking for some support really. I am a terrible binge eater, always triggered by feeling frustrated, upset, angry etc. suggestions to avoid the binges are always distraction such as taking a bath or a walk and I agree that these would work but I'm a stay at home mum with a toddler so there is no…

Milk in tea?
just wondered if you all log milk in tea? I'm guessing yes, so wondered how much roughly you allow for per cup? Thanks!

100 day no binge challenge!
I wondered if anyone would like to join me on a 100 day challenge of no binge eating. It is without doubt the only reason I have gained so much weight. I have healthy meals but food is absolutely my vice and most days recently, I have been on a bit of a binge in one way or another. It needs to stop, otherwise I'm never…
-
Would this work for any of you?
I'm just having a think about what would deter me from having a binge. Lots of people say to take deep breaths, go for a walk etc, but for me that would just delay the urge. However, if I had to DO something first, then I might feel differently. For example, if I told myself that I was allowed to binge, provided that I ate…

Day 1
Morning all! So here we go, day 1 of our mission to beat bingeing once and for all. These 100 days will pass by regardless, so let's make them count and have no regrets when we look back in 100 days time x

Lack of mental energy
Hi all, I've been struggling for quite a while now to get back on the weight loss wagon. I start off feeling so determined and within a couple of days I'm back to where I started. I know how to diet, I know how to exercise and yet I still struggle. Then today I realised..... I just don't have the energy to do this. I am a…

Has anyone managed to lose significant weight without lots of exercise?
Hello, I have about 3 stone to lose. So much harder this time round though because I'm a stay at home mum by day and a mobile beauty therapist by night, so pretty much zero time to fit in any significant exercise. Has anyone still managed to lose weight through diet alone? X
-
Have taken the first step.....
I've finally faced up to the weight I have regained over the past year (bit of a depressing year and food was my friend). So I have around 30 pounds to lose and I start now. Back to logging and becoming me again. Would love friends along the way. This is the first time I have felt positive for a long long time x
-
Do you weigh vegetables?
I find that measuring every single morsel makes me 'feel' like I am on a diet. Of course I totally understand measuring most foods but when it comes to the super healthy things..... Green veg etc, could I do a guesstimate? Not exact but might be more of a sustainable lifestyle change? Any thoughts welcome! X
-
How do you get through the first few days?
I'm an emotional eater and however strong my resolve is the night before, I find that within two days the slightest little thing sends me reaching for the chocolate again. It's like a never ending battle. How do I just say enough is enough and do this?? Would love any help as this is really getting me down x

any 1200 calorie success stories?
Hi, I keep reading so many negative comments about sticking to 1200 calories. This is the amount I was planning to eat but am now confused! Anyone have any positive stories please?

Just want to cry :(
This time last year I was in the best shape of my whole life. I had lost 4 stone, felt amazing and so very proud of myself. One year later..... I'm in tears because I've let a horrible few months get to me and now I'm 2 1/2 stone heavier. Nothing fits me, I feel bloated and lethargic and if I'm honest, completely out of…

How much did you lose in your first week?
This is purely out of curiosity as I know the weight usually comes off a bit faster in week 1 as it's mainly water weight. I am currently 11 1/2 stone and have 21 pounds to lose. My goal is 2 pound a week. Be interested to know!

I'm back.......
Lost 4 stone here last year and now it's creeping back on. I'm back here now and determined to feel good again!

Carb cycling help please!
Hi all, I'm sure this has been posted before but am wanting to start carb cycling (just bought the chris Powell book). It looks pretty good and I'm relatively sorted on what I can eat at meal times, but am completely stuck when it comes to snacks! Could anyone suggest some protein snacks? Carbs seem to be relatively easy…

Protein snacks

Feeling so out of control..... Need your help :(
I need your help....... Please please please. I have always been a binge eater but last year managed to turn it around and get to goal weight (I lost 4 stone) Now, the old habits are back. I have been bingeing for 2 weeks and have gained back 8 pounds. The old feelings of no control and helplessness are back. I need to…

I need some encouragement... Please please please
Hi guys, I have completely and utterly fallen off the wagon since Christmas and have gained back 10 pounds. I just feel so low right now and need some inspiration. Has anyone out there successfully lost weight after falling off the wagon? I honestly feel like crying right now but know that I need to get my head back in the…

Right then....l let's do this
Hi all, I managed to lose 4 stone on here last year but since Christmas, have really lost my motivation and have gained 10 pounds back.

does anyone need a fresh start in february?
I do! January hasn't been a good month for me..... my Christmas indulgences haven't stopped! But now I'm ready to dig deep, get my motivation back, and make February the month when I really make a difference. Does anyone want to join me? No regrets about weight gain, no guilt about what's gone wrong, just a totally fresh…

Looking for friends who need to get back on track too!
Morning all! Im really struggling :( I lost 4 stone last year and hit my all time low of 10 stone in December. I felt amazing for the first time in a long time! Then Christmas came, I told myself I could indulge a little bit....... And 1 month later I am 9 pounds up, feeling lethargic and horrible, and really struggling to…
-
Does anyone need to have a fresh start?
I do! I have been half heartedley doing this for the last month or so and consequently haven't dropped hardly any weight. The last couple of days have been absolutely terrible..... I have literally consumed everything in sight! So before this gets out of control, I have decided to commit to 30 days of doing this properly.…
