Gaining points for exercise
Has anyone signed up for Bounts? If you use an exercise tracker e.g. FitBit you can get points for your exercise - seems like a fun way to reward yourself for exercising!

Think it's time to throw my scales away
I've done really well this week, no naughty chocolatey sugary snacks, eaten 1500 calories a day, exercised, done everything right. But I haven't lost any weight. Last time I dieted and exercised the weight just fell off me. I find it so demoralising, I am weighing myself 2 or 3 times a day and I think I'm getting a bit…

Weight/self esteem question

Changing my program
The gym made a program for me but it's mainly using the resistance machines eg leg curls. I've been doing it for 6 weeks and I have tightened up and gotten fitter but the results are minimal. In the past I've done body weight stuff eg squats as well as lifting dumbbells and the weight has dropped off me. I've maybe lost…

The bottoms of my feet are now covered in blisters, dry skin, verrucas... am I wearing the wrong trainers or something? Is there anything I can do??

Not losing weight at first
I can't help but get down about the fact I'm not shifting much weight even though I'm exercising at least 4-5 times a week and eating so much better than I used to. I've been reading lots about how going from a sedentary lifestyle to exercising actually makes you gain weight to begin with because of your muscles changing…

Hello - I'm new
I've just joined and looking for some support! When I first started dieting I weighed 215 pounds and I've managed to get down to 199 but I'm stuck in a bit of rut. I've just been dieting not exercising, but I've done some exercise this morning and hoping to find some motivational tips on here.
