Totally relate! Sometimes I find myself at the gym two times in one day, I'm out and about walking, doing situps watching TV... I love it!
-
Thanks everyone, I'm going to book an appointment with my doctor and relax the exercise a little :)
-
I disagree, I have had that many calories in 'junk' like two or three times this week due to being out and about at college. Otherwise I try to maintain a balanced diet and hit my macros.
-
I'm trying to lose roughly a pound a week, though I am losing 1.5 pounds a week recently. My goal is 1750 calories as a net. I think I do need to eat more, I am just somewhat worried about eating too much more..
-
@whatatime2befit I always try to eat back most calories and end up with like 200 exercise calories left which I think makes up for that margin of error..
-
@spatulamom I don't have that 'time of the month' at the moment due to being on birth control...but I will remember that when I am off it! :sweat_smile:
-
I always NET at least 1400 calories, usually closer to 1550/1600

Anything to do with my arms...

I actually DON'T feel hungry most of the time and I lose about a pound a week! However, I have busy days and a lot of cardio workouts so I often struggle to eat ENOUGH to not put myself at a dangerous deficit! I usually get hungry about 3pm and have a little snack to curb cravings but otherwise, I don't think you need to…

My last rest day was Tuesday. I keep a net calorie intake of 1600-1700 most days, consuming around 2100 and burning 500 for example.

As of today, June 16th, I have cycled 150 miles in total and am 100 miles from my goal. I've been including more uphill and strenuous cycling into my routine and feeling good!
-
I did 30 minutes of spinning, 10 minutes of elliptical, 10 minutes of rowing and one hour walking for todays cardio! I also did a 40 minute upper body strength workout!
-
I'm 5'11.5 and aiming for around 145 pounds! I started at 210 and I'm currently 160ish and a size 10 (my body fat is quite low so I am smaller at heavier weights). I do a LOT of cardio too. :smiley:
-
@Liftng4Lis yes, my activity level is lightly active and that's put me at a 1600 calorie net goal. So, on cardio days I eat around 2000-2100 and burn 500-700 :smile:
-
YES 100%. I do try to keep my protein intake up but otherwise, who doesn't love a treat?!
-
I think I could!
-
I did 45 minutes of high intensity spinning and around half an hour of lifting weights! I also did a LOT of walking B)
-
I ADORE cycling! I'm 50lbs down and 100% happier from it :)
-
Checking in again! I've now got a total of 122 miles in the bag, after cycling a good 16 miles today and 23 miles the other! I feel pretty darn awesome :)
-
My goal for this month is to cycle 200 miles! So far I have managed 62 miles. Excited to join!
-
Great, thanks guys! :)
-
Nope, I am eating 2000 calories and netting ~ 1600! But I think I have my answer now :smile: thanks all!

New muscles retain water! Hang in there for a couple of weeks, track your progress and see what happens! If nothing changes, make alterations to your diet and switch up your exercise.

@professionalHobbyist My maintenance is actually pretty high (2200 on a lightly active day) as I've always had a fast metabolism! I eat around 1500-1600 as a net because I burn roughly 300-400 calories a day through cardio! :smile: I've been losing weight steadily. I was just concerned that I may be harming my body and…
-
@nevereverend Thank you for the advice! I usually get 90-120g of protein in my diet at around 1900 calories, is that a good amount? I drink post workout shakes available from my gym which are pretty protein packed! :smiley:
-
Caffeine all the way! Oops. Beach party or house party?
-
You look FANTASTIC! :smile:

I usually do 5-6 days of exercise ranging from a few hours to 30-60 minutes but honestly, I just listen to my body! I'm usually up and rearing to go, super excited and energised. If I'm not, or I'm seriously sore, or I'm ill etc, I take a day off. It's really whatever works for you.
