I'm not going to be eating 1200 I'll be having 1800 lol! Just I new if I put "if I burn 800 kcal while eating 1800, is equivalent to eating 1000" everyone would laugh thinking I could burn 800 a sesh lol! I just wanted the math, thanks for the info though :smiley:

So is it equivalent to eating 1000 calories and doing no exercise?

Thank you guys! I know it's not a huge deal in the long run, but my brain usually says well you f'ed up today so no point for the rest of week. That's why I'm over weight in the first place!!

I meant 2909!! I also fast so feel even more bloated than I would if I had eaten throughout the day!! Bad time bad bad times

Sorry!! I meant 2909!! :( :( a moment of weakness. I stepped on the scales this morning delighted now I feel very full and very slobby. Hoping an hour at the gym will wave this feeling off

Cheers guys!! Very interesting. I wasn't talking about the ads per say mainly about the profiles or fitness profiles where they put up many before anf afters of totally different people just for motivation :smile:

Mental strengthening

When I first ever started the gym I added all fitness pages for motivation and all it did was make me feel bad. I try not to strive for someone elses body any more but it is hard not to compare. All you ever see is the before and now pictures. It makes it look easy as well with some of the captions they put up (12 week…

I do sometimes shower at the gym, but good idea with the wipes for when I can't!

I know and I don't. But all you ever see are the before and after photos. You never see in between where they have had to bulk and vis versa

Go you! It's a really big step!

Yea maybe you're right I might have to go to 1lbs a week. But it's just frustrating cos I've done it before and it was fine! I don't think it help at the moment as I'm not on work so at home a lot. When I start my job on Monday that may help! Yea I'm eating my calories back, think I would die if not lol! I initially…

The thing is its not even like I am under eating! My goal is 1200 but I exceed it daily!! My best day this week was when I ate 1700. My goal weight is 10 stone. I'm currently 13 stone. And I'm only 5'5

Thanks I'll give it a look!! Yea after strength training I could eat a horse. Which isnt great cos that I do at least 3 x a week! I suppose if it was easy we would all be the weight we wanted wouldn't we. It just drives me up the wall some times!!

I'm eating more veggies too! But they aren't filling me! End uo eating the whole kitchen before I'm satisfied!! Them I feel happy I'm not hungry but angry that I've eaten so much!

I can't eat just that. That's the thing. Today I've had 2500 kcal and I'm sat here hungry! That's way over my maintenace and will have to make up tomorrow.

That could of been weekly though. Did we graze throughout the day on berries, insects or grain? We tend to eat when we are hungry and until we aren't hungry anymore, so would we have gone out to hunt that often if we wasn't that hungry?

Sorry guys, I wasn't looking for advice. Probably the wrong forum or even app to post on. I was just interested in what our bodies was designed for and if their was in a tual eating pattern we are "supposed"to eat. Thanks for the advice on some interesting reads though! I personally just eat whenever I'm hungry. Sometimes…

I watched a programme on weight loss and a celebrity doctor who is highly thought of in the UK was explaining that eating 3 meals a day was a "Victorian" way of eating, to which we need to snap out of. The rest is what I have picked up online from different sources. I do realise that A LOT is very conflicting. So I'm…

Very much like rats :wink:

I did wonder that as we would of adapted from our habitat. I really just wondered what our bodies are designed for. I did believe that the small meals a day did slow the metabolism down and I'm glad you have put me straight! I just eat as and when I'm hungry to be honest just save enough calories for the evening for a…

I wouldnt want to. I'm just interested in the affects it has on the body. I don't plan on taking any diet pills whatsoever. And also not interested in taking then. But so many people do, for a quick fix.

What if you're eating at maintenance, while taking the fat blockers or laxatives? Will you still not lose anything at all?

Thanks guys! I have been putting in the lower estimate as 200kcal is such a big difference to burn. I don't have a HRM (need to invest). I suppose for me personally it is a very vigorous exercise, but I understand it won't be for others. Just for the record I'm 23, 5'6 and 185lbs :smile:

Really interesting guys! Thanks!

20lbs of poop! :open_mouth: that's a lot of poop that the body can hold lol!!

It's crazy that something just as useful as a sugar pill can be advertised to help in weightloss!! Making billions a year on vulnerable people :disappointed:

I don't have a HRM so have been using MFP and exercise machines to track my calories burned. Hence why I was only eating back 50-75% back (which I thought was correct) but I've dropped my goal of 2lbs to 1.5lbs per week and its given me around an extra 200 kcal a day. So I'll not eat any exercise calories back for 3 days,…

Grams. All my scales are grams. Makes it easier for me lol! How much can water retention weigh up to? How many lbs? Give or take? Surely it can't be all water retention. The thing is when I've done the exact same thing before I have lost weight. I lost around 3lbs in the first week then gradually got slower as expected

:open_mouth: I've been eating back 50 to 75% of my exercise calories! Maybe you're right I'll try not eating the calories back but I'll have to up my intake cos I can't eat 1200kcalon my exercise days! I'll be very very very hangry!! Lol
