  • Hiya!! This morning: Hill intervals x3 jogging/walking up a long steep hill and walking back down. Had to rest for quite a while because it was very hard! But I'm proud as it was my first time doing these. Then completed a weight circuit for legs. Stretched. This afternoon: Went on a 1km jog/walk lap with my puppacinos.…

    in Deadlift grip VS straps Comment by beckygammon November 2017
  • I don't know if anyone has said this yet but 2500 is actually pretty low for your weight. Please remember that when you are very heavy it makes you burn a crap tonne of calories and to keep that weight up you would be eating way more than 2500 per day. Don't start too low other wise you will end up starving yourself, which…
    in lose 200lbs in less then a year ? Comment by beckygammon November 2017
  • You don't HAVE to eat back 50% of exercise calories, not sure where you heard that. If you calculate you TDEE correctly then you can just workout and eat your calories and you dont even need to track your workout with MFP. Eat some more calorie dense foods, if that involves a burger than go for it, and then have some fruit…

  • Firstly, you need to eat MUCH more than this. If you have been doing this for a while the hormones in your body which prompt it to burn fat decrease. You need to go on a diet break. The first thing you need to do is to go and see a doctor. If you cannot come up with an appropriate calorie range for yourself you need to…
    in Restricting calories till period stopped - still not losing weight Comment by beckygammon October 2016
  • You should eat as much as you can possibly eat whilst still losing. Weight loss should be slow and gradual as this is the easiest way to maintain the weight loss. Even if you are only losing a quarter or a half a kilogram a week. This also means that when you stop losing you only have to adjust you deficit by a small…
    in Do you eat more when calorie intake is low even if you aren't particularly hungry? Comment by beckygammon October 2016
  • Also starvation mode is not a myth - if you do not eat, for a long enough period of time, the hormones that promote fat loss decrease. Also when you finally eat again your body is more likely to store fat due to your metabolism being sooo low. This happened to me. I have a personal history with anorexia and when I resumed…
    in Why do people say weight loss is 70-80% diet and 20-30% exercise? Comment by beckygammon October 2016
  • To build muscle (except in newbie gains) you need to be in a surplus. Also if you have been anorexic, depending on how long for) you will have very little muscle mass. You also need to be EXTREMELY careful overdoing cardio as anorexia also reduces your heart muscle (again, depending on how long you suffered) and too much…
    in Why do people say weight loss is 70-80% diet and 20-30% exercise? Comment by beckygammon October 2016
  • What this saying actually means is that you cannot out-train a bad diet. Basically if you are going to do one or the other, diet or exercise, it is best (for weight loss) to start with diet as you could train all day and still not lose weight if you aren't eating less. You are doing the same as me, I eat my sedentary TDEE…

  • Without a scale or following a meal plan made by someone who calculated your macros you are not going to get the main benefits from IIFYM. As the whole purpose is to see how your body responds and when it stalls progress you adjust in grams. If you are not weighing you can not do this because you don't know the REAL grams…
    in No food scales Comment by beckygammon September 2016
  • Everyone's body is different and we shouldn't be arguing about how many calories work for weight loss because like I said every single person is different. CICO is obviously fact and works. However, some people who have been dieting for a long time on low calorie diets may actually find that they lose weight when they up…
