Thanks for all replies. They actually told me without me even asking that you burn 600 calories by donating. I don't know the details regarding how long a time period it is over. All I know is that I had a guilt free biscuit and it was lovely.

Good plan. I won't log the donation and will also refrain from logging the cookie after. Everyone's a winner !

Fair enough...thanks for that. Will definitely enjoy the free biscuit afterwards though

So glad I have educated people this week,lol

This has made me laugh

Well that is jolly good to hear. I am visiting the states in 3 weeks time so I shall make sure I use my English slang to its full potential

Sorry.....English slang words,lol. Chuffed means pleased. Thanks for the message

I think that there will always be things I want to tweak and improve with my fitness and goals. But, in terms of weight loss I think I need to be mindful of the fact I am at a healthy weight range.

Thanks for that, looks like I am pretty much in target with those figures anyway. Good to know I am heading in the right direction, thanks

Story of my life....thanks for that. I do need to chill a bit.

Oh I am well within my calorie allowance, I never go over. And I don't have a medical condition. Ok cool..... I will chill about it then....and maybe take that spoon of peanut butter

I salute you!! You are an inspiration, well done!! You should be proud of where you have come!!

This is interesting, most of you try to stick pretty close to target. I think I am too strict and normally stay about 250 under. I think maybe I should allow myself a few little extras to get closer to my allowance

My dr gave me sachets a couple of years ago but I didn't find them to help. I have really appreciated all the comments and am gonna take them on board. If all else fails I will head back to dr

I also definitely think this could be a factor. Info try and limit my intake...I eat about 1500 when I should really be eating about 1700. I think this post has given me something to think about!!

I really appreciate everyone's messages. I am not getting 25grams each day so that is something I need to try and address

Do you mind me asking how many grams of fibre you try to get each day please

I definitely ate more fat in my cheat day. I enjoyed spicy meats and cheese. That has given me something to think about...thank you

I appreciate all the posts that have been sent to me. I have increased my calorie intake a little. It's only been a couple of days but I do feel that I have a bit more energy, which will hopefully mean I can hit it a little harder in the gym.

I would be interested to hear how to view others food diaries, just to give me some inspiration

If you are using mfp to calculate how many calorie you have burned general opinion is that it is not accurate and over estimates it. For me, I tend to log a small amount of exercise. I generally log that I have done 45 minutes when actually I do nearer 1 hour. That way it allows me a few extra calories on training day that…

Sorry, should have made myself clear. It's not the lack of weight loss that is bothering me. It's the fact that my measurements are no longer decreasing. My waist and thigh measurements are the same as they were at xmas. I had hoped that a combination of heavy weights and cardio would have helped me.

Thanks for the encouragement. I suppose I should be proud at maintaining...and yeah I guess you are right that vanity is a big reason for losing more. I am 5ft 4 so not too tall

That is great to hear

I went from about 154lbs to 130lbs but that was about 3 years ago and I hired a personal trainer. I went on my own last year and have plateaued....but I wonder if it is because I no longer need to be eating in such a big deficit. I will keep logging though...it is very disheartening when you feel that you are eating in a…

Thanks for taking the time to explain...I am going to look into it this evening when I have more time. A Disney wedding must have been magical, I bet you are so excited to be planning your anniversary celebrations. My healthy eating plan will ease off when we are away.....the food is far too good to miss!!

Thank you for your post. I have heard about recomp on here but am interested in learning a little bit more and so will look into it. Ah, another Disney fan, big wave. We are traveling to wdw in 9 weeks time, coming over from the UK......far too excited

Would you be interested in us sharing info so we can keep each other on track?

Ps I would say your protien is too low...but unreality am no expert

I am so interested to follow this thread as I could have written it myself. You look exactly like me...and my calorie intake is approx 1585, although I am consuming about 1400 per day. This week I have adjusted my macros, increased protien and fat and dropped carbs...carbs @ 30, protien and fat @ 35. I am interested to see…
