"Back to work tonight after 10 days off, so should start edging in the right direction again. I've got 11 days off so who knows what direction that free time will take. " Mine involved too many naps 
Work is pretty physical, do about 20k steps a night, and lots of lifting 10-16kg boxes. Nights should make it easy to avoid Xmas food too.  | |||

Had taken up running again at the start of
last month but I’ve torn the ligament in my knee - just as I managed to run a 5k with ease!  luckily it’s a partial tear so I’m hoping not too long out of the running game.
I’d love some ideas of alternative exercise. I’ve tried walking and it bores me even with my music on!
Keep pushing everyone! Great job  | |||

Great job "Swimming can be a good re hab exercise just make sure you clear it with your Dr. I have torn my ACL in my right knee and was told stability exercises were good to build up the muscles around the knee and stabalise it. 360 lunges are good. With ligaments it's important to keep them moving really to encourage blood flow and healing (that might be tendons thinking about it, check with your dr  , I'm sure someone will correct me on here though ) | |||

Small steps but I do feel better even just doing this."That's a great start. I have found eliminating snacks, even 'healthy' ones to be not as hard as I thought and very good in terms of results. 19lb down in the last 5 weeks so far. | |||

Just 1lb needed to hit 2 and a half stone x Have a wedding today which I was worried about but going to try saving all my calories for the meal and I am driving so u don't drink a lot of calories. I only drink diet when I'm out as opposed to gin and full fat lemonade! Also have a stressful few days ahead so lots of planning and mindful eating. Might actually start reading the chimp paradox to take my mind off things and focus my mind on what I need to be doing. " Congrats on the loss!!

"So I’m back on here he Keto diet, I know it works but i really struggle with the concept…. The more you eat the more weight you lose… I’ve never had a good relationship with food, and usually go with out food for days at a time, not healthy I know… and the more I eat the more weight I lose. Just need to get out of the mind set that eating is not a bad thing and I put weight on by not eating enough… anyone else struggle with this ? Xxx" My eating habits are the route of my problems. I never eat proper meals and then grab a crappy snack to eat because I feel I should eat something. When I do have nice, good food I enjoy it but I just like like a irresponsible teenager and don't take the time out to prepare beforehand. | |||

"Soz for being a downer... Couldn't take a new job due to lack of mobility to get there, and unable to pay for £120 a month for transportation..... Last two weeks I've worked out once, can't find the will to motivate and always tired ffs! Any advice to keep going very much appreciated... Thank you!" Don’t be too hard on yourself and remember that weight loss is 90% diet. You can absolutely do amazing without going crazy in the gym, and at times like these where you get bad news and life kicks you a little it’s entirely ok to take a breather. Your more than a number on a bathroom scale. You got this. | |||

" Well, I did hire a young PT two year ago... He expected too much from my elderly self, I nearly fainted with reps every other minute
I have done cardio check ups with NHS since then, but that seems fine.
So I'm thinking I tried to do too much exercise, without gradually increasing it.

"Anyone have any tips - i have been on my weight loss for a few months. I find i yo-yo up and down on my weight. I have reduced my cals and excerise more but weight will go up? Any ideas?" Are you drinking enough, sleeping enough etc. This can have an impact. Are you tracking calories? Weightoss will not be linear as your body adjusts to things.

"235lb this morning. But of a hectic weekend but not awful food wise. Back on track this morning. Got a few nights out this week but I know I can plan around them to make sure they don't impact my weightloss too much. Still panicking about my cruise though. I do have an issue with food that is just readily available! " I was on the lighter life programme and went on an all inclusive holiday. Luckily I didn't drink at the time but gave myself that week off. I had worked so hard so tended to stick to meat/fish and fruit/veg with a few diversions into carbs. | |||

I have a huge 2 litre bottle that I fill with squash first thing in the morning and drink throughout the day. Sometimes I have to refill it. As long as I drink all of that I know anything additional like coffee or pop etc is a bonus lol | |||

"Well I managed to lose 1.5lbs this week. Better than nothing. I'm thinking of going on the fast 800 diet for the next 2 weeks. I could do with dropping a stone as soon as I can before a Dr's appointment next month. Don't want him blaming my weight for my health problems. Anyone done the fast800 before? Could do with some low calorie meal ideas" What is this fast 800? | |||

"Basically an 800 calories a day diet. You're supposed to try and do it as a low carb so you don't feel hungry on it" 800 is extremely low and I think doing it low carb would actually make it harder since all the high volume, low calorie food tends to be carb based. I wouldn’t recommend it, especially if your doing it to “fool” your doctor. But I guess if it’s for a short period it won’t be too damaging, but then again on such a short period how much meaningful weight can you lose? I’m all for promoting healthy, sustainable methods of weight loss and extremely low calorie fads don’t fit in there with me. Just be careful. Your more than a number on your bathroom scale | |||

Cardio is cardio, however you do it. It’s just getting your heart rate up and keeping it there for a set time. The real question is what kinda cardio will you actually do? If someone says swimming is the best cardio, that’s great, but if you hate swimming and never go, it’s the worst for you. The best cardio is the one your willing to do. For me, treadmill incline walking is great for a few reasons It’s low impact It’s indoors (no rain or cold days) It’s easy to track and adjust intensity (I did 30 minutes at 12 last week, I’ll do 30 minutes at 13 this week) And the biggest factor for me It’s cardio I can do while doing other stuff. I press go on the treadmill and I txt my friends, browse Reddit, watch Netflix, play chess on my phone. It’s the easiest for me to kill an hour on. | |||

"Basically an 800 calories a day diet. You're supposed to try and do it as a low carb so you don't feel hungry on it" Lighter life is a vlcd, just under 800 cals a day but its sachets of their "nutritionally ballanced" fake food. I lost loads of weight on it and never felt hungry. Put it back on once I stopped as I didn't follow through with the psychology of eating. Just went back to bad habits. It's easy enough to lose a stone in a few weeks, the hard part is keeping it off. | |||

But I can give some tips. Hydration is very important and so is sleep for energy. Nutrient dense foods are great too. Your already in a deficit so you want to make sure your getting as much as you can out of each calorie Not being in too much of a deficit. People often quite a 500 calorie deficit. That’s fine for me when I need 5000 calories to stay the same weight. But if you need 1500? That’s a 33% reductions. Too much. | |||
