Hi I'm new!!

Hope everyone is ok x I've joined this group as I'm two stone over weight! I go to the gym and mainly do spinning and running machine. Ive all the good intentions in the world I put the effort in but I'm over eating as I excercise every other day,I think it's ok to eat more as I'm excercising it will come of but it won't! I need help and motivation to stop and take this over eating seriously! Help!!!

Hello, Tinkab, and welcome to the forum

Exercise has so many benefits but what and how we eat is much more significant in terms of weight loss. I'm sure you'll have heard the saying, "You can't outrun a bad diet".

It's possible that it may be your choice of food, as much as the quantity. For instance, this may be an eye opener

I suggest you get involved with the forum, joining in activities, reading, chatting, asking questions and supporting others and I'm sure you'll find the way forward. I particularly recommend joining a weekly weigh-in on the day of your choice, and using the Daily Diary for help with meal planning. This Welcome post will help you find them, and everything else on the forum healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Please also read the post on privacy and security that you will have received with your welcome message, especially as you have left your post unlocked.

I hope you'll become an active member of the forum and I'll see you around

Click on More below your post, select Edit, choose Only my community for who can see your post, then Edit post and you're done

I've just replied to you on the weigh-in. Good to see you found it. It's rather quiet by this time of day but if you're in earlier next week, you'll have a good chance to chat to people and get to know them

Hey welcome to the forum. For some reason your username is hidden btw but anyway I am going through the same thing. It is so hard to cut back for a long time. I can do it for a day or two but there are some things that I want so much that I give in. I heard on the healthtalk website that it doesn't work to just diet. It might help for a little bit but not for a long time and I think that's because it's too hard to do for some people

The way I'm thinking of losing weight for a long time is to eat well and also get in a couple gym sessions during the week. I will also need to enjoy what I'm eating too and cut back on snacking which is very very hard for me because sometime it's the only thing I can think of.

I am definitely a comfort eater. I just eat to boost my mood for that half an hour then after that I get weakness and also the guilty feeling of eating for no reason. I think it's bad for my mental health too.

Thanks
