Ps i just checked the calculator and 3 miles for me is around 350 cals and 4 miles is around 450 cals.

No problem with the fat loss/inch loss guys. Ive lost 2inches in some parts! I was just wondering why i had not actually lost any lbs thats all. I have a before and after pic from the last 4 weeks and can tell such a difference. Also measured myself at the start which is why i know i have slimmed down some. I was dieting…

Lol by 3/4 mile i mean between 3 and 4 miles haha sorry not very clear! Most days i do 4 but some 3

Hiya all, just wanted to update this thread and say that i have weighed myself this morning and i have lost 3lb! So it looks like now my body has settled into the new exercise & eating routine, its showing on the scales! Ive lost inches and feel awsome! I guess all i needed was a bit of patience lol, thank you all! Xx

This is great to hear its not just me!well done on your loss so far!! Xx

By sort of i mean, some i log, some i already know the calories of, so of mfp tells me i have 400cals remaining i will eat the 400cals but not log it. As i know i have then had my cals for the day. If that makes sense. But yes, i know what u are saying and will log it all, so i know, and can see it in front of me x

Thanks tigerblue. I will be extra vigilant. Although i do feel like i calculate quite accurately. Sometimes i overCalculate (food) to be on the safe side. will double check everything. Xx

Ok, cool! (More like 12/15 pw)

Ps. Patience sucks!

Yes, im easily confused so will be staying with the MFP. So this is where i struggle. What sort of things to do to BUILD muscle as suggested by eggcluck. This whole muscle stuff goes over my head.. Do i lift weights? I find it so boring. But if its needed its needed. X

Ok, i fancy cake. Today is a save some cals for cake day lol. I understand what you mean re the mfp and other methods. Think il stick to mfp its easier to work out. Thank you x

Yesinpson, defiantly not. Ive been very strict. Im running at 7pm at night so will have some fruit afterwards if anything. An orange or strawberries. Im sort of dealing well with any hunger. X

Bethan, i would love a slice of cake right now! But i do know that i shouldn't be binging on cake to make up my cals lol, unfortunately! Ok i worked out the bmr it said to maintain i should eat 2255 cals per day, this factors in the excercise. to lose minus 500/1000. So really i may be better off increasing to around…

Ffs just wrote a reply and it posted one word!!! Dammit.

Bethan

Yes, im using MFP, although not religiously. But yes i sort of know what ive eaton and what ive burned and what i would need to eat to make up for the burned cals. Thank you!

Ok, thank you. I guess i should just continue and see how i go. Default.. I just wanted to make sure that i am doing this right... Of course i want to see the scales move, who doesnt?! Am i right then to eat the calories i burn on my running days. I do find this hard as i run at 7pm (when the kids are in bed) so i have to…
