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 :)

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 :)
