Acronym Game
For this game, I will start by putting together any random letters (maximum of 5 letters), and then the person below has to make up an amusing or random acronym out of it. That person will then put together random letters and the person below will make up an acronym and so on. For example: If the above poster said PZFG, my…

Logging Recipes
Is there no way to add a recipe by weight as opposed to set servings? Sometimes I'll just want to log 100g for example of whatever the food is (soup e.g.) and not necessarily a set serving size.

When does cardio get easier??
My PT says it's advisable to get in at least 3 hours of cardio a week, in between weight/strength sessions. BUT, I absolutely HATE cardio with all of my being. I enjoy the strength training side but I hate every second of cardio. So, when does it get easier or more enjoyable? At the moment I can barely do 20-30 mins on a…

Fluctuations
So I know weight fluctuates and that's fine. Monday morning is my weighing time, and last Monday I weighed in at 220. I use my weekly calorie average instead of daily, and last week I went slightly over maintenance, so I knew I wasn't going to lose any. I weighed myself on Monday morning and weighed in at 228. Fine, I ate…

Cutting carbs is more effective than cutting fat...apparently.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/11963385/Cut-out-carbs-not-fat-if-you-want-to-lose-weight-Harvard-study-finds.html This was also one of the main stories on the news in the UK this morning, cue mass of low carb diets! Why is it not mainstream information that cutting calories is all that is needed, not carbs or…

Squatting in Heels
I don't know if this is a ridiculous question, so please tell me if it is. BUT I was going out with my boyfriend recently and was wearing high heels. While I was waiting for him I did a few squats to kill the time. I don't know if it was just coincidence but I found them MUCH easier to do. My form was much better and I…

Weekly vs daily?
According to most calculators, my maintenance allowance is currently just over 2000. Therefore, my daily allowance needs to be between 1200 and 1500 for weight loss. I'm not too good with the maths, so my question is say for example I go for a birthday meal one day in the week, which means I go over my calorie allowance…

Logging Inaccurately
I have a family meal later on for Mother's Day (UK), and I want to log today but I have no idea what I'm logging. I can enter rough estimates judging by what the meal is but what if my estimates are way too high or too low? Should I not bother logging as there's not much point? I'm going to eat less of the fattier stuff…

Quitting Smoking & Losing Weight
I quit smoking on Monday (apart from a slight relapse last night, which I won't be repeating!), and was just wondering if anyone had any advice. I've been reading up and I know it's very common for people to pile on weight due to using food as a distraction or whatever, but I read that when you quit your metabolism slows…

Newbie question.
This is probably a really stupid question, but I've noticed when I gain weight it goes straight to my tummy. However when I'm losing weight, my tummy is always the last place it comes off! Is there any reason for this or just coincidence?

Lunch Ideas
Hi I was just wondering if anyone could help with some ideas for lunches to take to work :) I work Mon-Fri and find I get a lot hungrier in work than I do on my days off, however I'm getting pretty bored of sandwiches every day, so I tend to skip and then am starving by the time I get home, which obviously isn't good. Plus…

Philadelphia Light
Is it OK to eat whilst trying to lose weight? Or is it still fatty? I was gonna have it on wholemeal bagels for breakfast or lunch.

For anyone in Liverpool, UK
Bit of a stab in the dark here, but I was just wondering if there was anyone from Liverpool who has a few stone to lose that would be interested in being weight loss buddies :) I want to start doing sports as exercise, like tennis and badminton etc, but no one I know wants to do it with me! Everyone's busy or cba or have…

894 calories remaining and not hungry!
Basically what the title says, on here it says I have 894 calories remaining, but I had a massive roast dinner earlier, plus a low fat chocolate dessert thingy and I'm stuffed! I don't think I could eat any more, plus it's late now - 8:45pm here. Anyone have any advice for this situation? Will it affect my weight loss if I…

How do you stay motivated?
I know there's probably been loads of these threads before, but I was just wondering, what keeps everyone motivated? I'm new to this site and having trouble sticking to my healthy eating/exercise plan, I know if I stick to it I'll look better and feel better etc etc, but I just need some kind of kick up the *kitten* to…
