Parkrun beginner
Hi. I'm at the start of my weight loss/fitness journey and I'm finding the motivation to exercise is escaping me. I recently joined a group fitness session in a sport my family are involved in and my god it nearly killed me but surprisingly I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately the season is over and so are the group fitness…

Front of thighs....help!
I have strange shaped thighs! From the front they look normal (if a little chunky) all my side lunges and adduction exercises are helping out there but omg...from the side they look awful. I'm carrying a lot of wobbly fat on the front of my thighs and if I managed to get rid of that my legs would look in proportion. It's…

Does anyone here follow a gluten free diet?
Hi, I am asking because I would like to try it out for a while to see if I feel any better. I have had symptoms on and off since my early 20's, I am now 32, but recently my symptoms have been consistent especially the last few weeks. I have migraines, which I have medication for, persistent bloating, stomach cramps, a…

New to GF. First day 100% GF
Did anyone else motive a huge difference the first full day avoiding gluten? I'm wondering if its a coincidence I have no pain or extreme bloating or headache? Can it really work that fast? I still feel a little bloated and a few light cramps but also I managed to clean entire house and do a monster pile of ironing and I…

Just venting
In getting married in August, I still haven't even nearly lost baby weight from 2 years ago and Ive stupidly been lookin at old pictures from 3 years ago and it's made me so upset. I just had a major panic go through me where I felt like i couldn't breathe for a second thinking about what a daunting task I have in front of…

Yuck...put on 1lb
My stupid tooth again. For those who haven't already seen my endless rants about my toothache I've had it for over a week now. Seen the dentist, got antibiotics, on co codamol and ibuprofen 4 times a day, having it out in a few weeks but in the meantime it's near constant pain. Can't even blow my nose without sitting…

Looking at pictures of myself
And now I've gone and got myself feeling rubbish about myself again. One is from Easter this year and omg, I'm huge. I then look at one before I had my 2 year old and I wish I was back there in the little size 14 Lipsy dress (uk). I don't have any recent pics of myself (avoid cameras like the plague) so now all I can see…

NSV!!! I can plank!!!
Tiny victory, can only hold for 20 seconds but a few months ago I really couldn't even hold myself up...hopefully getting closer to actually being able to do a proper push up! (One of my silly goals!) Sorry, had to share!

Difference between resistance and weight training?
Been searching mfp and can't find an answer. I do resistance workouts plus strength training at home (small dumbells and using own body weight). What is the difference between what I do and weight training? Will I see lesser results by not lifting "proper" weights? Apologies if my question appears stupid. In new to all if…

Sorry for sounding dumb but...
What is this classed as? Strength training? Resistance training? Is there a difference? I go to a ladies only circuit based gym and use machines mixed in with free weights (I only use 5-10kg, they don't have higher than 10) I do a mix of leg adductions and abductions, chest press, a pull down and push up (arms) machine,…

I am so unfit that...
I threw up after my first time doing level 2 of 30DS yesterday. Level 1 I actually enjoy now but level 2....ouch. For all those amazing people who see level 2 as a warm up please don't laugh at me :-)

NSV...I got my skinny jeans back on today!
Granted they're still a size 14 (UK) but I've been living in leggings for ages!

I cried at the gym yesterday...feel very silly.
I am a member of a ladies only gym and yesterday was my 6 week assessment. I was weighed...I put on 6lbs since that morning then my body fat was measured using one of those handheld devices...one point up from 40 to 41. At this point I turned into a 3 year old, started crying and walked back out to my mum who was watching…

Success eating TDEE -20%
Hi I know it's very early days but I weighed in this morning after upping my calories (I was fluctuating and stalling on 1000-1200) and I lost 2lbs! I was terrified it was going to make me gain weight but it really does work. I don't log my exercise as its included in my TDEE amount. This may be a coincidence but I like to…
