Please bear with me..
Please bear with me while I explain my situation and confusion. This may be glaringly obvious to more experienced people but I’m clueless. I have gained almost 2 stone over the quarantine period and have just split my second pair of jeans. It’s time to do something about it. Two weeks ago, I started logging my food on…

Jealousy
Pathetic as it is, jealousy seems to be my biggest motivation. My sister and colleagues are loosing weight and it makes me feel rubbish - so I vow to beat them!

MFP changing my calories
I logged on to MFP today and found that my calorie goal had changed. I haven't changed it so I can only assume MFP have. Has this happend to anyone else and do they know why this has happened?

SlimZest Tablets
My sister has just bought SlimZest Garcinia Cambogia Extract and SlimZest Colon Clense from Amazon. I believe any kind of weight loss tablet to be nonsense but she won't listen to me. Has anyone had any good/bad experiences with this product or similar?

Unsupportive colleagues
When I started on my fitness journey, I decided not to tell my colleagues as they aren't exactly the most supportive bunch of women. Today, one woman commented that my trousers were looking loose and asked if I'd lost weight. I said yes, I had lost a little. Then the whole room erupted with comments of 'I think you should…

Bum and thigh suggestions

Clean 9 Cleanse - fact or fiction?
A friend of mine completed the 9 day weight management plan with Clean 9 & Forever FIT. She claims it's brilliant and she lost 11lbs. Obviously you will lose weight seen as all you're doing is drinking aloe Vera water and taking pills but is it a good way to start your healthy living process or is it just a waste of time…

Does it really matter?
Discussions have been had all day at work and I'd like your opinions. Does it matter what food you eat as long as you stay within your calorie goal? 1200 calories of cake vs 1200 calories of vegetables

Complimentary gym diet
I recently joined a gym and I'm already loving it! Ideally I want to tone up and build a bit of muscle. Problem is, I have no idea what type of diet would compliment this goal. I've been told eating too little would hinder any muscle gain. If anyone has any tips or meal plans, that would be great! (p.s I'm a vegetarian)…

Food Addiction
I have known this for quite some time but finally admitted it to myself. I have a food addiction. I eat when I'm sad, when I'm happy, when I'm bored, when I feel nothing, to punish myself, to treat myself or just whenever I have a spare minute. Has anyone else realised they are addicted to food and if so, how did you…

No exercise and crap food makes Lisa a miserable girl
Last week I was feeling so motivated. I was walking, running or doing a DVD every day. I was eating healthy food and drinking lots of water. I felt better, thoughts started to look better, even people at work were asking if I'd lost weight. Then it stopped. I didn't want to exercise, I started going over my calories by a…

Break-up during weight loss
Today I was dumped. All I want to do is lie in bed, cry and eat. How am I supposed to motivate myself to do anything? Has this happened to anyone else recently? Did you eat to numb the pain? I don't want to destroy all my hard work but I just don't want to do anything.

Couch to 5k
Day 1 of couch to 5k (C25K) I couldn't even finish half of it properly. I managed two sets of running before my chest started burning and I felt dizzy. I'm way more unfit than I thought. I walked the rest of the way. Tomorrow will be better! I'd ask for tips but I think I just need to keep at it and not give up just…

What are your fitness goals?
I've been finding it difficult to motivate myself to exercise as I'm the type of person who needs a goal to aim for. Today I got that goal. I signed up for the Race for Life. Justgiving.com/spencetown I'm aiming to finish the race in good time and without feeling like I want to collapse at the finish. Plus it's also an…

I feel like a joke!
Tried level 1 of the 30 day shred for the first time last night. I lasted 5 minutes before I had to stop because I felt sick and like I was going to faint! How am I supposed to get fit and lose weight if I can only last 5 minutes? I feel like a joke.

So proud!
My clothes started to feel a bit tight recently so I decided to give my fitness pal another go. It's only day 3 and I'm finding it really difficult. I'd reached my calorie limit by 8pm but still felt starving!! I went in to the kitchen, put the oven on and poured out a large amount of oven chips and some hamwiches. Just as…

2 months of eating crap!
I was doing so so well with my diet. I lost about 11lbs eating healthy and exercising...then I blew it. Big style. For the past 2 months i've eaten everything and anything. Today I had eight slices of bread. EIGHT! Knew i'd have put weight on, its impossible for me not to have. Didnt want to weigh myself because I knew i'd…

Cellulite - tips and tricks
Ok, I’ve got an eating plan sorted and I’m dropping weight at a sensible rate which is brilliant. The next step is exercise. All I've been doing so far is walking. My trouble area is my bottom and the back of my thighs - cellulite central! Does anyone have any tips or specific exercises that will combat these areas? Any…

Why is it so hard to say no?
I lost 9lbs a few months ago and was so proud of myself. Then I went crazy and have eaten EVERYTHING for the past 2 months. I gained 5lbs back. Ive now realised that it really isnt worth it. I feel rubbish, my moods are all over the place, my clothes feel too tight and I just generally feel terrible. I know its December…

I'm chubby!
I was having a conversation with my 10 year old nephew about swimming. I said I couldnt swim very well and he asked if that was because I was chubby. Needless to say I was quite shocked and upset by this comment - out of the mouths of babes. I then went on to eat half a tray of chocolates to comfort myself! Brilliant.

Footwear - is there a difference?
Does it make any difference what kind of footwear you wear when you exercise? I bought some cheap non brand trainers from a supermarket and i'm doing general aerobics exercises. Ive seen all the adverts for tone up trainers and running trainers but am I really at risk of doing myself some damage by not using specifically…

Why am I not losing weight?
Ive been counting my calories for about a month. I have had the odd day where ive fallen off the wagon but only about 3 days. Ive been walking more, eating less and eating heathier and ive only lost 1lb. Why am I not losing more? It doesnt make sense. Feel like giving up.
