    Wow I am so impressed with you ladies who have already lost so much weight already, will be great to get some tips from you all!

    I feel so full of food tonight but apparantly still under my calorie allowance. I must have miscalculated somewhere. My hubby got a chinese takeaway tonight and I had a healthy dinner in the oven BUT i just had to have a few chips (fries) and a tiny bit of the fried rice. I feel SO guilty for it and it was such a hassle to calculate approx 8 chips(fries) on to my food diary. Really wasn't worth it - I'll put it down to a learning experience.

    On the plus side i walked with my son in the pram for 5 miles and then later I started day one of the 30 day shred. I've joined the 100 mile June challenge over on the fitness category, so that will motivate me to get out there and walk/run/swim. I plan on doing a half hour run tomorrow morning when I get a bit of time.

    Can anyone answer this question please - I am full, but because of my exercise, MFP has upped my calorie allowance a few times. I don't feel like eating more and don't want to just eat because it tells me. What do/would you do?

    Feel free to add me as a friend, I also need all the support I can get.

    As far as eating calories, I have been reading about this all week, and have came to the conclusion. . do what you feel is right for you.
    Some days eat them, some days dont. but ALWAYS eat 1200.
    If you need to add calories try a glass of milk. thats what gets me to my goal on days I am under.
    Or an apple is 90-130cal.
    Maybe try eating mid day snacks (string cheese, apple,yogurt, exc) so you dont feel like your eating a ton at night to catch up.
    anyways thats my two cents. :happy:

    Thanks Linz - I have been just under the 1200 most days, but not by much at all. Like the milk idea to up it to the 1200. I find it relaxing at bedtime too so a double benefit.

    Hi,

    I think everyone does there own thing but personally i always mae sure my net calories are over 1200. If i want more to et i know i can but as long as i got over the 1200 im happy with that. Plus i dont feel guilty if i have a bar of chocolate then as its still within my calories as with exercise my daily can go up to over 2100+ :)

    So it does seem to be really important not to go UNDER the recommended calorie allowance of 1200, which i can understand. Think I may just bank my exercise calories for a treat at the weekend or whatever as a sort of safety net. The diary really does encourage you to exercise.

    Jodasi - I'm new too and have found when you go on to the message boards you can click on MY TOPICS above to see what you're on. I'm sure people who know their way around better may have an easier way.
