Body shaming at its absolute worst... thoughts please.
In the Daily Fail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2686676/Why-todays-young-women-unashamed-fat-Horrified-rolls-flesh-shes-witnessed-summer-LINDA-KELSEY-takes-no-prisoners.html Obviously this is an opinion piece but I am quite uncomfortable with both the article and the comments (which involve body shaming at…

The way others see you vs the way you view yourself
Hi, I just wondered if anyone else feels this. My family are super supportive of me but I think they are becoming a little worried that I am 'too slim'. I get this feeling from them bringing me chocolate/biscuits when they visit (they never used to, they would bring flowers or nice tea for us to drink) and them encouraging…

Family gathering weight loss cliche bingo!
The reason this made me laugh so much is because people often comment on the boards about someone saying one or another of these phrases to them and no one has EVER said any of these things to me before (even when I lost the original 35kg nearly 5 years ago). Given I am at a BMI of 21ish, 23% body fat and do half Ironman…

Heart rate NSV
Went to the doctor's today and my resting heart rate is down to 49 beats per minute (I don't get dizzy or faint at all) which is in the "athlete" range! Back in the day (before I lost weight and started exercising) it used to be around 75 bpm. Since I started exercising regularly I have been feeling so much stronger and…

Mixing up the calories
Hi, I don't wish to start an argument as I'm sure there are differing views on this (maybe we could just live and let live for this one thread ;-)). I just wondered people's thoughts on mixing up their calorie intake? I am very careful about measuring my food so I know exactly how much I'm eating. I also wear an HRM so I…

Robberryuk
Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this but I think we should all take a minute to remember one of our own. Rob Berry very sadly died running the London Marathon on Sunday (https://sites.google.com/site/robberryuk/home). I would just like to say RIP Rob and my thoughts and best wishes are with your family and friends. Life is…

Poorly (cold) motivation
A quick post to say I feel like rubbish (I have a bad cold/cough/sneezing/tired etc). This morning I went out and did my local parkrun (timed 5km run) and got a PB (28.26)! From this I have taken two things: 1. A cold doesn't stop me exercising nor shall it mess up my weight loss plan. 2. If I run a PB when I can't breath…

Food and Exercise guilt
Hi, I was just after some thoughts on food and exercise guilt. For some reason as soon as I start logging my food (I weigh and log EVERY mouthful) I start to feel very guilty about what I do eat (I am always under my calorie goal). It also seems to make me feel guilty when I don't exercise for a day and pushes me into…
