  • thank you all so much for your replies. I cant run..yet...so am walking on the treadmill. Ive been going every day going at 5.8 speed for an hour each day. i start off at 5 speed then work up and i do feel as though im pushing the pace but am so eager to lose the weight i think that it where i could be goin wrong. But it…
  • Is 1500 more realistic do you think? I cope well on 1300 but sometimes go a tiny bit over. I'm eager to lose the weight the right way, so need to make sure I do this correct. Thanks for your reply
  • Hi I'm from the uk and want to lose 84lbs. I've lost 24 already but need another 84 shifting. I'm healthy calorie counting and swimming an hour a day feel free to add me
  • Hi I need to lose 5 stone so long journey ahead but one I must complete this time. Wgat healthy eating/diet plan are you following? We can do this together :)
  • Ahhh I see, that makes total sense now, thank you
  • Maybe the Cals burnt that mfp calculates differ by an individual's weight and build? I'm very overweight (not for much longer hopefully!) so maybe it shows me burning more as I have lots to lose?
  • Sorry guys I'm only going by what I put in. I put 60 mins of continual breast stroke and it gave me that. I don't understand what you mean by 'eat back' I'm now getting confused.... I don't swim that fast although when I swim my heart rate is raised, I'm out of breath, and face feels very hot and red. I am more than you…
  • This is what it said when I entered it. So obviously very wrong then.
  • I'm swimming an hour a day which mfp tells me is burning 1200 cals. I eat 1500 Cals a day. Sorry I wasn't very clear.
  • Brilliant thanks guys. I am obese hence needing to lose a little over 4.5 stone. Logic tells me you are both correct, I shouldn't listen to others who think they know it all lol. Will carry on as I'm doing and hope to see changes soon
  • I'm swimming an hour a day and the app says I burn 1200 Cals each day doing that, do you think 1500 Cals is enough to eat? I do feel more toned and only been doing it three weeks, but being on a deadline I've got to really do this right
  • I will add you Lisa on Fitbit
  • Go you Paul! Fantastic attitude to having that extra slice. Well done on the 10lb too!
  • Ladies and men I should have put! Sorry
  • I need to lose 60, long old road ahead! I'm walking a lot more and it appears to be working as I'm toning up....slightly. I'm cal counting which works for me and using hairy bikers recipes. Hubby and j did it before and I lost three stone and him 1.5. Got to do this and for life this time. I'm 46 and want to be here to see…
