Any foods you've sworn off for life?
I know that's never necessaru for weight loss, health or fitness, but I just wondered.

Question
Hey guys, for those of you who slip up and eat at say 2/3am...what do you do the next day? As in, eat as normal, eat when you're hungry, or wait til it's been 8/12/16 etc hours from when you last ate? As I've been reading that you should fast for around 12 to 16 hours overnight. What do you think?

Pear shaped ladies- squats?
I hear so much good stuff about squats, but I'm concerned it might make some bad areas look worse? I know you can't spot reduce and I've accepted that, but I hate being pear shaped and would hate to make it worse. Sorry if this is one of those stupid questions- I'm a bit ignorant about training, really. Thanks in advance.

C25K- speed advice please
So I finished C25K without stopping today, 30 minutes! I was all excited until I checked Mapmyfitness and realised it was actually just 2.6 miles :( And that's with a sprint in the last minute, and with me feeling pretty tired about 3 quarters of the way through. I haven't been taking rest days though. ANYWAY, I just…

Morning runners- water bloat?
I run first thing in the morning, before breakfast. However I always seem to wake up feeling dehydrated no matter what I eat the day before, how I sleep etc., so I'm in the habit of having a lot of water before I go. And then I've barely made it 20 steps out of the house when I feel super bloated. When I have less, I feel…

How do you guys progress through C25K?
If you struggle, but push yourself and manage to get through it, do you repeat it the next day until you can complete it comfortably, or do you just keep pushing through? I'm on week 6 day 3 (22 mins running) and I can do it, but it just about kills me and I think I'm really slow...I just wondered if I should work on doing…

I work out, yet I'm "skinny fat?"
I burn about 300-400 a day, my BMI's 20-ish, I'm a UK size 6-8 (female), and yet I have a lot of stomach fat and love handles? Do I just need a greater calorie deficit?

Recommend a good yoga app?
I completed Erin Motz's 30 day yoga challenge, and I'd like to keep up my yoga! Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

C25K
When did you start having to repeat days, if ever?

New to strength training
So I'm hearing everywhere that adding cardio and strength training to a healthy diet is the way to go for weight loss, as well as general health. This might sound sort of stupid, but what kind of strength training is recommended for an adult female, so as not to get too muscley but to just be a bit more toned, particularly…

Just another August goals post
What are yours? Mine is simple- to stay within my calorie goal. In an ideal world I would also like to eat cleaner, lost at least 5 lbs and beat night eating.

How long do you all fast for over night?
8pm to 8am? 6pm to 9am? Various? What feels good for you guys? I was just wondering if it's good to give your body at least 12 hours to do it's thing, or if it doesn't really matter. Thanks in advance.

Raw til 4 for weight loss?
I just wondered if this lifestyle/diet was generated as a weight loss thing, or if it's more of a lifestyle thing for health in general? Though I'm guessing it can be modified for weight loss if it is the latter. Thanks.

Going vegan
So after reading skinny *****, experimenting and having a long think, I believe going vegan might be right for me. I just wondered if anyone could recommend any good resources for newbies, not so much recipes but maybe websites, free ebooks/apps or communities? Although a lot of it is common sense obviously. After…

Beating emotional eating- need your thought, please
What do you do to make yourself happy when you feel like stuffing your face? Preferably at night when you're in bed and just stop caring - so no long walks in the park, please :) For me, music sometimes works, and a really good book. Very rarely.

Anyone else only feel motivated when they're doing well?
I've had a really good week, steady weight loss, going for a run every morning, and I've been feeling good. But yesterday the scales had gone up, and today they were even higher, and I haven't been running, I haven't felt motivated to do a damn thing. Does that make sense? When I NEED to be motivated, I'm not, I feel like…
-
Scale fluctuations?
I know fluctuations are natural and normal, but apparently I have gained 2 kg in less than 2 hours after less than a quarter of a cup of water...can someone explain this to me? Literally nothing else has gone in my body, it's not heavy clothes, it's not faulty scales.

Question regarding night-eating
For those of you who slip up and eat at say 2/3am...what do you do the next day? As in, eat as normal, eat when you're hungry, or wait til it's been 8/12/16 etc hours from when you last ate? As I've been reading that you should fast for around 12 to 16 hours overnight. What do you think? Hope it's OK to post this here too…

Hoping to beat night eating
Over the past few weeks, I've developed thi horrible habit of eating at midnight, 1am, 2.30am and sometimes 4am. I just wake up and it's like I'm a zombie..I eat and go straight back to sleep. It's awful and I've tried everything, and I need to lose the weight I've gained because of it to fit into my graduation dress! I…

Exercises for belly fat?
So apparently crunches aren't great? Has anyone had quick results with exercises that help with belly fat? I'm a girl and not super fit, if that makes a difference. Thanks!
-
C25K buddy?
I can't run, as a child I loved running but now I hate it, even though I'm fairly healthy. For anyone else starting/thinking of starting this, do you want to maybe keep in touch, keep each other accountable and motivated? I'm hoping to start today or tomorrow.

Fasting buddy
Anyone want to attempt a water/liquid fast? I'd ideally like to go for three days but one would be a miracle!
