advice from those who yo yo'd?
I know this will sound so silly... I was obese through all of my teen years and was left with damaged self esteem. Weight has always played a huge role in my life and what I weigh is who I am. I was so proud when I hit 123 lbs. But since then with medication, stress and then following laziness my weight soared back up.…

What are the 30ds rules?
I've done it before and made it to day 12 but wasn't following it correctly (I did it every day) and want to do it right this time but I can't find the exact programme rules Is it 2 days of the DVD, then 1 day other cardio and next day rest? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help =)

When do you stop seeing yourself as overweight?
I know this will probably sound rather stupid but I'll go on anyway. Having spent all of my teen years being in the obese category (literally all my teen years) I've always known myself as a larger girl. Now I know I am succeeding with body fat, weight and measurements but my mind is a little slow on catching up with all…

Anyone have any really bad jokes?
So my friends a little down and I said I would send him a cheesy/corny joke a day and he decided to mark them out of 10. I am yet to make it past 4 on his marks! What is the worst joke you heard that actually made you laugh? I'm aiming to make it to 7 at least T.T

What foods are your staples?
Just curious (and hoping to steal ideas maybe ;) ) Of what kind of foods have become your guys staples and always end up on your shopping list, whether they be for snack or part of a meal. For me spring onions (scallions) and red onion are always a must Banana's, Garlic, lemon, gem lettuce, eggs, mini chicken fillets and…

Stubborn lbs group
I always find it very hard joining certain groups that have high loss goals for the month. Being around 10lbs away from my goal weight (13 away from my over all goal weight), the loss is slowing and I'm lucky if I can lose 1 lb a week (sometimes 0.2 and sometimes nothing). I know from the forums I am also not alone in…

Dealing with over eating and breakups...
I am a lot stronger over many situations now and always work out my anger or sadness but when it comes to affairs of the heart I can't control myself! I wont give the whole story because it's silly, all I will give is key points. Me + him = 3 years. / continents + effort but the effort was negative (we were together 3…

Even though the start of your weight loss may seem slow, your weight isn't moving as fast as you would like, then look at this. This is that "only 1 f******* lb* For ever 1 lb you lose, one of those is coming off you.…

44 lbs to go and.... I don't care any more >.>
Okay, I care about my body but this time it's about body weight more so than just going by scales. I am not really setting myself one solid number I have to reach, just body fat. It's made me more determined than ever and I have really stepped up my game! So I feel like introducing myself again now I feel I'm on a…

Reducing the appearance of cellulite
I know now I have it, cellulite is something I will never totally rid myself of (Sadly T.T) But does anyone have any tips that don't involve surgery, lotions or potions to help lessen it a little? My main problem area is my butt... Now I am not talking a little cellulite here, I am talking cottage cheese bad! A little on…

Twas the night before Christmas (for some)
T'was the month after Christmas and all through the house Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste. All the holiday parties had gone to my waist. When I got on the scales there arose such a number! When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber). I'd remember the…

How to adjust to being single?
I'm sorry to post a post that doesn't really go with this site but I'm out of people to ask (My friends reply was being single sucks) I was in a long relationship for 3 years which ended 4 months. I went on a fair share of dates and started dating this guy about 6 weeks ago and... he is awful! He can become very distant,…

So ladies, every month I suffer awful period cramps and very heavy bleeding and I've been known to pass out with them a few times. I was put on 2 types of the "Pill"…

I hate the gym... (rantish)
Why? I'll try and sum it all up in one word.... Goddesses... Seriously these little seemingly perfect creatures who can run the whole 30 minutes on the treadmill without even breaking a sweat. They do not even need to take a break, then after they finish they take one sip of water.... I'm on the treadmill, dying after 10…

Too shy to run...
I really want to start running but I think getting over my shyness is going to be difficult. I would rather run outside than at the gym since a) It's free and b) scenery and several other reasons. Yet as I have said I have been putting it off because I am too shy! Running with a friend isn't possible since they don't enjoy…

From your experience what helps tone your butt?
From experience what cardio and strength exercises can help tone and lift your butt? I've done a lot of searching and find most sites just contradict each other (one says running works, another says it doesn't. One says swimming, another doesn't etc) My butt is my most hated area and I really want to start getting it…

Things you shouldn't say...
Has anyone played this game before? One person gives the scenario things you shouldn't say on a/in a etc and the person below answers. E.g. person 1 "Things you shouldn't say when you are on a roller coaster ride" Person 2"I wonder where that screw came from" Bad example I know, but you can be as creative as you want! Ok…

What should I add to my mini home gym?
I currently have aerobic weights, weights that go from 3kg to 20kg, skipping rope, one of those twisty stomach things (No idea what they are called) mat, wheel, and a little trampoline. Can anyone suggest anything to add? (I am a student and on a budget so can't be adding machines or anything too expensive) Also are heart…

Not lost 1 full lb in 18 days...
I have been eating healthily with this site for about 18 day and working out and I have lost a total of 0.5lbs. I have lost inches and body fat but I am really unsure of what I am doing to have not lost at least 1lb. I have stuck to my net cal intake of 1200 cals, is this actually too little to be eating? I know logically…

Here's to small victories!
Today I found out my body fat level has dropped to 22.9%. A week ago I managed my first set of full non knees on the ground push ups. I have said no to no takeaways for several weeks. I'm sticking to an exercise regime without getting bored. I'm 45lbs down. Actually starting to feel confident. Something I haven't felt in…

Tackling emotional eating
Me and my boyfriend have been together 3 years and we've been having quit a few rows over the past few weeks. The thing is, though I have been a lot stronger since dropping 45lbs I STILL seek out food when times are really bad. It's not every time like it use to be, I would say 2 out of 5 times I turn to food later on in…

*tries to be original*... *fails*... so... hi
Hi, my name is Danielle and I am 23 years old from the UK. At my highest weight I was over 180lbs and I am currently 137lbs. I have a huge problem with yo-yoing with my weight. My thinnest was 123lbs and managed to gain some back. I guess I'm here to learn how to maintain and really develop a healthy lifestyle I don't even…
