I'm eating more yesterday and today - my workout was certainly better too :) i think a few days higher (but under maintenance) will be good mentally and will still keep me in a deficit so you never know - the body can work in mysterious ways haha. Thanks for all the advice!!

and congrats on getting through April haha!!

i do take measurements, but only waist has gone down. No you're right, it isn't linear...just worried that eating this low should be causing some loss...but I know some people have results eating a little more which is why I thought ramping it up, even for a week or so, might help
-
it's been longer than 2 weeks - more like 4 - 6 and I was thinking that at that low calories it should go faster...but you're right it's not that much to lose. Impatience haha! No, by "i might be eating more" i merely meant in the way that logging calories can be slightly inaccurate for a number of reasons but i do log…

I'm netting 1000, not eating 1000. I could eat 1800 depending on how much I exercise but my training might add up to,900 cals so I'd only net 900 overall. I might be eating more but there's always room for that in my weekly average. I'm pretty strict with my diet and input everything, all weighed. I know it could happen…

Ah interesting - yeah I have a forerunner 610 and it's always been pretty reliable but obviously there's always some discrepancies in these sort of calculations! Thanks for the info though :)

Thanks for the advice, makes sense and I'll give it a go!!

Thanks for this!! My HRM for weights are usually pretty low unless I add in cardio-resistance like weighted step ups, skipping etc so I don't think it is inaccurate...i've lost before using it this way and it works for sprints etc too. I'm usually conservative with the burn, not going by the numbers exactly
-
no i think it's usually pretty accurate - i use a Garmin HRM for my runs, weight lifting etc and there's usually some spare anyway

I used to be a fairly light runner but within healthy BMI so about 119lbs for 5 ft 5. At the moment I'm about 135. That maintenance would be without exercise - I prefer to calculate that separately and add exercise calories on - just works with my training Sorry for posting multiple times - stupid phone! And thanks for all…

Yep, weigh everything and calculate exercise :)
-
Yeah I reread which is why I'm totally up for eating more haha . I'm just not sure whether to jump right up to 1300 and increase slowly or increase slowly from 1100 upwards I do a lot of running / weight lifting and of course there's a lot of stuff out there on the starvation "myth" too, to complicate everything! I have…

I've just started one to help my metabolism and get over my plateau, despite being low in calories, so hoping it works and I get more energy to do my sports! Feel free to add as a friend :)
