Feeling Lost
I am at my lowest weight since 2005! (82kg - 12 stone 9lbs - 181lbs). I still have another 2 - 3kg to go, but the closer I get to my goal the more 'lost' I feel. It's difficult to describe because being fat is all I have known since I was 14. That's 20 years of being known as the fat one. I need help to embrace my new self…

5 meals a day?
Guys I could really do with some guidance on this. I kill it most days in the gym, exercise has never been an issue for me. However it's the nutrition where I let myself down. I'm 5ft 4 weigh 200 pounds and I could ideally do with losing 50 of them, my body type is endomorph. My progress so far has been slow and rocky to…

The Last 20lbs
Hey everyone - hope you're all well. I was after some advice on how I can lose the last 20lbs. I've battled hard to get to this stage with lots and lot's of cardio, boxing, running and other forms of cardio, but no matter what I do now the scales wont move.

Over the month of ramadan when I was fasting (& not going to the gym) I lost some inches, and felt really light etc.... now that i'm back to eating and gymming, I feel sluggish and lethargic.

Boots Weighing Scales. (UK)
DO NOT USE THEM! For weeks I had been tearing my hair out wondering why my weight was fluctuating so much, adding upto 6lbs over 24 hours. I weighed myself yesterday at the gym and was 205. In Boots I was 211 and this was within 24 hours! A fellow MFP friend Lozald also pointed out similar results, i'm so thankful.. I was…

Gym Membership Increasing Price
By £10 a month to £45. What's the bloody point?! This confirms how **** big corporations are! To cut a long story short, 3 guys start a small boxing and circuit training gym. Gym starts showing success and a larger company swoops in and buys them out. Sure they have more facilities and classes etc... but I dont need them.…

Toughest Workout Ever Last Night
It was business as usual down the boxing gym, I was getting my gloves on ready to do my thing when in walks in Miguel. Just to give you a little background Miguel is originally of Brazillian origin but grew up France and is here to learn English for 2 weeks, therefore communication was limited at best. Anyway being a…

Struggling
Since returning to the gym after a forced 2 week break (illness) I have been really struggling for motivation Before I was going great, cycling everywhere and hitting the gym on a regular basis, but this week has been terrible. I've only been once and i've started eating all the 'bad' foods again. (In total i've not been…

Feeling Like Crap
It's been a week and a half and I can't seem to shake the last of the flu. I feel weak, irritable and get tired & out of breath easily. The Dr keeps telling me to rest and drink fluids, but nothing seems to be working. I've not been to the gym in this time and my diet is messed up as I end up eating comfort food. Is there…

Least Favourite Exercise?
There is that one exercise which we all hate with a passion & are generally weak at. Well this could be place where we let it out and perhaps get tips from other members. I'll start with mine. I ABSOLUTELY HATE press ups I feel so embarrassed doing them on my knees whilst others around me just glide through them! And when…

Anyone Else Given Up On Weighing Themselves?
Seriously I hear people at work talk about losing 1-3lbs every week without fail... Where as I could exercise for MONTHS and the scale wouldn't move at all. I know i'm losing inches cause of going down in clothes sizes, but that number on the scale has hovered around the same number for so long, i'm thinking of binning the…

NSV From XXL To L
NSV time!!!! Was buying some cycling clothes. (High viz jacket, waterproofs etc...) and the guy asked me. 'What size are you'? I said XXL or XL (UK) and he said 'sorry mate we're out of those sizes, try this' and throws me a large size jacket. I reluctantly try it on and it fits!!! The guy was like no need for the bigger…

Going Round In Circles
I don't know what it is with me or how I can stop myself from doing it, but I find myself dieting very intensly for a few weeks and by intense I mean sticking to MFP calories, making sure I hit my macros etc... Eat lots of protein, have no chocoloate etc.. & then one day I just snap, and end up bingeing on ANYTHING in site…

Different Scales Weighing Me Differently
I was out and about in town over the weekend and thought i'd weigh myself in Boots just to keep track of my progress and it came up with 209lbs. However in the gym on Thursday I weighed 205lbs. I double checked my weight in the gym scales this morning and sure enough it was 205lbs. I asked the trainer who just gave me a…

Running
Really getting into running outdoors now... The more I do it the more I enjoy it. i'm thinking of taking a break from the gym & weight training and getting hardcore into running to get rid of the remaining weight. I'm getting fed up of the big *kitten* stomach with everything else being ok. Any thoughts?

This Thread....
Is dedicated to the left hand side of my body. My left leg, pec, bicep etc... The thing is lefty is always there when righty is having a wobble.. He's there to take the strain and help a brother out. Righty on the other hand rarely repays the favour, and therefore is annoying lol

Is it Just Me...
Or does my body take FOREVER to lose weight... it's really bizzare that I weigh in every week but the numbers stay the same. This would upset me in the past, but i've been having plenty of NSV's to make up for it (non scale victories - such as clothes fitting better etc...) But the numbers on the scale stay the same, then…
