Welcome to MFP! :) I'll add you in a second.

This. Don't cheat all week but instead do a diet break...besides if you eat true french food, it's very rich and stuff so I'd be amazed if you could overeat on that stuff! Most of all enjoy yourself, if you have been consistent the past 2 months 1 week of 'slight' indulgence wont hurt in the long run (months and years).…

Great story and great transformation!! :smiley:

That's my kinda neat! B) Anyways here's something else that's neat: Banging your head against a wall burns 150 calories an hour. (possible concussions too)

Yeah good point, forget to mention that! Always track everything you eat ^^

Aka Intermittent fasting you are talking about. Yup. It's great. I'm doing it on my fat loss journey and im shredding the fat easy mode. Just remember to eat enough calories when you do decide to eat, or you'll risk not eating enough.

Slow and steady wins the race, you do you and forget about everyone else!

Welcome digi! :) Yeah exactly what @JustSomeEm plus what I've learnt is to be consistent and not be too hard on yourself. Also there is NO bad food just bad portions. If you are fancying a cake, then cut a small portion off, weigh it to the exact gram and log it...as long as you are under your calories you are golden.…

I like this thread! :) Here are my top things I've learnt so far: 1) Be consistent. I have always given up or gone off the rails too many times and now I've finally realised that all i need to be is consistent and it will eventually come off. 2) Don't do no fad diet or an extreme way of eating (keto, paleo, vegan, veggie,…

Sorry i couldn't resist, putting that title down is like saying don't touch wall "wet paint" or don't push this button! lol :D Anyways on topic...I would guess it would be like a mans private area. The actual genitals wont change but the upper area and surrounding will change eventually and will perhaps give a "sleeker"…

What calories are you aiming for? if you have a 1200-1400 calorie goal and you are 800 under then you only ate 400-600 calories?? Please tell me this is not that case.

Welcome! :) I'm pretty active, i'll add you in a second.

A simpler way is to just not track macros and focus on calories for the beginning lol When you start getting below 20% body fat is when I personally will start looking at macros. Ah i didn't read your post completely and see your weight. Just use this calculator: https://tdeecalculator.net/

1) Have you checked with a Doctor to see if you are fit enough to exercise? 2) Are you drinking plenty of water, before during and after exercise? If it's your first time exercising in forever then just start off with 15-20 minutes until you are fitter and make sure you are drinking enough and eating something afterwards.

Yup CICO is weight loss in it's simplest form. Log your foods correctly, don't cheat yourself, log literally anything that passes your lips, remain consistent and voila...fat loss.

Great job, keep it up! :smiley:

Welcome dude! :smiley:

Welcome! :) I'll add you in a second.

Lmao! For me I like: Lawn Bowls, Gaming, Guitar (pretty crap at the moment though lol), Fixing Stuff, Computers & Films/Netflix

Welcome! You've nailed it on the head, it's a lifestyle change not a diet, all your the best on your journey!

Welcome Liz and great job on quitting smoking! Aiming to lose 5 pounds first is a great start, you are setting small goals which are easy enough obtain. Just don't be too hard on yourself because don't forget you've given up smoking so your body is already stressed from that. Good luck. :)

You can do it ems! :)

Every morning and in the evening before bed...i like numbers lol

Yes you can, but I choose to eat healthy foods because it's more bang for your buck as they say, in regards to satiety, craving control and calorie per gram.

Each to their own at the end of the day and if it works then do it, but I always strive for sustainability and enjoyment. I tried Keto/atkins/paleo and I honestly didn't enjoy it. I've seen lots of videos, articles and studies on low carb and there definitely is evidence of increased fat burning potential as this is what a…

Welcome and yeah the app is pretty awesome :smiley:

Welcome! :)

Well that's me out of the equation because i drink "diet" drinks :D
