Losing to conceive!
I managed to lose last year, going from obese bmi to normal, but a happy relationship and lots of take aways/meals out happened and I'm bordering back on obese territory! We've decided to try for a baby, and I came off my depo but it's taking forever to get my cycle back. Apparently it's stored in fat cells so I'm hoping…

Machine calories
I just wanted to post a quick message to show the extent of the discrepancies of calories burnt on the machines to actual ones from a HRM courtesy of my Apple Watch. I knew there would be a difference but not quite so huge considering I entered my data in to the machine (weight and age).

Frustrated!!
so 4 weeks ago I weighed in at 138.8lbs and I was sooo excited to break the 140lb barrier but within 2 days I was back at 142.6lbs and I've been there ever since. Neither my weight nor my measurements are changing despite going to the gym, weighing and measuring my food and although I've had days where I've gone over, I've…

So frustrated with myself
I was doing so well in my journey, managed to drop from 161lbs to 137lbs (well on my way to goal of 120lbs). And then I slipped up. I stopped going to the gym, I stopped logging, I slipped back into old habits and shot back up to 144lbs. During this time I also had my anti-depressants (trazodone) doubled, put onto new…

Half way to goal! With pics :)
Started my journey in October at 161lbs, down to 142.8lbs at 5' tall. I'm now out of the obese BMI and in the mid overweight range now :) aiming to get down to the mid 120s range :) still a long way to go but I'm slowly getting there. Not as drastic a loss as a lot of people on here, but I'm happy at my progress :)…

Fitbit flex iphone 6 compatible?
I'm looking at purchasing a Fitbit flex off amazon.co.uk and wondered if anyone knew if it was compatable with the iPhone 6+? It lists up to, and including, the 5. I don't want to buy it if it's not going to work with my phone.

Unhealthy relationship with food... Learned behaviour?
Just wanted to get people's thoughts on this. I grew up with my dad away in the navy with my mum always either eating everything in sight or starving herself and she never ate healthily apart from when dad was on leave and cooked. This continued after he left as he still worked away mon-fri. I've never had a healthy…

Family put down, feeling low
I've managed to lose 11lbs (which isn't a huge amount) by really watching what I eat, and exercising. Yesterday I managed to get into my UK size 10 jeans so chuffed to bits I rang me mum for her to tell me 'but you're fatter than me and I can't get into size 10 jeans' followed by 'well they must be cut huge then'. She's…

1,200 calories, constantly hungry, TDEE help please
Hiya, I'm 5' tall, almost 31yrs of age and weight 11st 2 (156lbs). MFP set my calorie goal to 1,200 a day to lost 1lb a week but I'm still constantly hungry. I go to the gym 3 times a week, long rein my horse for an hour and ride other people's horses 3 times a week. When in the gym I mostly do 45mins-60mins of cardio with…

Those lazy days...
In those days where you're just not feeling the energy to do anything, how do you push yourself through it? I've been dragging myself to the gym despite not really wanting to go, and get myself working by doing little deals with myself (if I workout hard for 15minutes I can go home and then another 15minutes and so forth).…

Last cigarette....
So I finished my pouch of tobacco and decided not to buy another. Was planning on quitting next week when I turn 30 but no time like the present right? Going cold turkey (again) hopefully I'll quit for longer than a year this time!

Cardio gym sessions
I go to the gym 5 days a week, lift 3 times and do cardio twice. Problem is I HATE cardio and just clock watch. Anyone got any tips to make the time go quicker or to make it more enjoyable? I've tried music and tv so far.

Nuts?
Which nuts are best to eat? Today I bought Brazil nuts, almonds and my favs macadamias after my PT recommended adding nuts to my diet

Lost appetite and no motivation for the gym
So my chap ended things with me last week and I've completely lost my appetite, I'm forcing myself to eat one meal a day at least as not really hungry but can manage something late in the day. I'm also barely sleeping and so tired so not making the gym. How do I get myself out of this and get some motivation to get back in…

Losing on medication that causes weight gain
I'm currently on 4 types of medication, all of which cause weight gain and since starting it I've put on 2st. I'm trying to lose it, but no matter how much I exercise or eat clean it doesn't come off. I've not logged in a month or so as I just got so disheartened I sort of gave up. The good news being I only gained 2lbs…

How many times to weight train a week?
Seeing a PT Saturday to give me a workout on free weights. I go to the gym mon-fri, how often should I be lifting? Every other workout with cardio in between? Weekends are rest days where I only walk the dog
-
Body pump class or free weights?
I'm planning on heading back to the gym tomorrow for the first time in 3/4 months but want to incorporate some strength training in as well as my usual cardio. Would doing 2 or 3 body pump classes be just as good? I find all the men round the free weights in the gym a bit intimidating lol

Painful shins when running or power walking
If I power walk or run I'll often get an achy pain in my shins. It doesn't always happen though, one day I can be fine and the next I'll try the same and I'll be in agony. When this happens I usually hop off the treadmill and stick to the cross trainer for a few weeks before building back up on the treadmill to try power…
