    non workout days - 1200 cal.
    Workout days - 1600 - 1800 cal

    I do mostly cardio about 4 days and 1 or 2 days of weight training.

    I'm working on my last ten pounds so my calories are lower.

    Goodluck:happy:

    Thanks!!:bigsmile:

    Well, I slowly built up to that! I started at 20 minutes at level 3. Every time a level got easier, I would bump it up and add 5 minutes! :happy: I think that's what helped me not really hit a plateau (at least anything long term). I had a couple weeks where I maintained but I got over it.

    At some point it isn't so much about lowering calories anymore but more about keeping your body guessing with the exercise and pushing yourself that little bit more. The combo of eating enough AND pushing your body helps to keep your metabolism at a constant burn!! :drinker:

    I have mine set at 1500 on here. I do not log in my exercise here. I where a HRM and keep a running log of my exercise on my facebook page so at the end of the year I can see everything I have accomplished. I exercise everyday..even if it is just walking the dog for thirty minutes. On days that I work out hard I may eat up to 1600 but I really try not to go over that EVER!!

    Well I am allowed to have 1200 ckals a day, though I am having about 800-1000/day. I have cut out all wheat+junk (fizzy drinks, biscuits bread etc) from my diet since the past 3 weeks and have found that I feel so much better+ lighter on this diet! I only do gym 1-2 times a week, yoga every other evening after work for approx 20 mins. I dont eat my exercise cals but treat myself to a gorgeous salad afterwards :P
    You could try a salad with beetroot, carrots, tomatoes, nuts, low fat cheese, olives etc.
    good luck xx

    When I was losing still..........by the end, on non-gym days I ate 1400 and on gym days, I would burn a lot and eat around 1800-1900. And obviously it worked because I got to my goal! :wink:

    Good job!! How long did it take you?
