I am always hungry!
I have my calory goal set for 1700 cals, as I do a very active job.. I'm literally on my feet all day! And chose to put to lose half a pound a week as I don't have a lot of weight to lose (However reading posts on here, it now seems a bit high) I also earn approx 4-500 extra calories thru exercise most days. But I feel so hungry every 3-4 hours, I always eat nearly all of my exercise cals back and could probably eat more of I let myself!
What can I do to try and "sort myself out"0 -

I lost about 14lbs last year then used the diary to make sure I didn't over eat, then stopped over Xmas and gained 8 or 9lbs so I have now lost that plus 1 more lb, however I am now exercising more so maybe this is where the hunger comes from? I guess I just feel like I am eating such a lot, but I do try to make sure they are healthy snacks like raw veggies, a bowl of cereal or crackers with low fat soft cheese0 -

Great information there and links to tools to run your numbers and see how much you should be eating for your size, weight & activity level. I've had my best success over the past year since setting my calories and macros according to the info there. And no more being hungry! :bigsmile:0 -

Thanks, I've read and understood most of the link! I'm guessing if you work out your TDEE and set it at moderate activity you don't then add your exercise calories on?
Like I said I don't have a lot of weight to lose but I am very pear shaped and my legs are way out of proportion to the rest of my body, To me they are disgusting!.. I know you cannot spot reduce, I run 3-4 times a week and spin once, I also use my Nike training app about once a week as its not cardio, do you think I stand much chance of changing the shape of my legs?0 -

You sound similar to me - I didn't have a lot to lose, but still wanted the fat off my tummy, thighs and butt - and I use Nike Training Club! :drinker: Love that app - it is my workout (usually the Get Focused section, I'll do legs & butt one day, arms & shoulders another, etc) three days a week, and I run 3-5 miles the other three days. My tummy is shrinking, and legs are improving as well.
Once you get your numbers and if you decide to do this method, make sure you give it a good 4-6 weeks, take measurements and photos as well. Some people might show a little gain on the scale at first, and sometimes the scale doesn't move right away, but the inches are quietly coming off.0
