  • Hi there. Yes I've opened up my diary now.. When I say homemade they are based off my own recipe where I have weighed the individual components previously.. same with saying 0.6 apples, because I know how much the average apple in my packet weighs and I need to x0.6 to get to that weight.. for example. So please i know…
  • Yeah I have been doing (what I think I've logged pretty accurately) as 1200 net.. which is why I worry maybe I need to drop to more? It's so disheartening and makes me frustrated to the point of almost crying when week after week I measure my stomach and it's still exactly the same... just want to be able to wear my old…
  • Okay so I'm happy to have a deficit of just 250 per day; but my difficulty is knowing what to take that from.. anyone have any idea what seems reasonable? Given I've been doing what I think is net 1200 per day (before gym workout calories) and not getting anywhere... is 1200 reasonable?
  • By the way - thank you all for your comments it's good to know people want to help! :)
  • I feel like I am being precise even down to the amount of oil I use to cook with or the condiments I put with things.. but if it is the case I'm underestimating then surely I should reduce my goal intake and not increase it as everyone has suggested previously ?
  • Unsure how to reply directly to messages.. but Samanthaluangphixay - do you think that by decreasing by more than this, say to 1300 net, it would not be helpful towards my weight loss goal? Subcounter - I certainly think increasing just to 1300 may be worth a try.. do I really need to eat back what I burn at the gym…
  • So my BMR is 1460, and my TDEE is 1760.. which therefore recommends cutting 500 off each day so daily intake of 1260 net. But this is below my BMR.. do you think this is harming me, is it possible to take in too few calories to lose weight or should I stick to me 500 calorie deficit.. or even increase it seeing as it isn't…
  • And actually it's on average I do eat 1300 cal per day, but walk off 200-250 which I put into my diary .. So should I eat more or less?
  • Also I do weigh my food when I can to try and be accurate; and maybe I'm not quite burning as much as I think at the gym but an hour of cardio as an addition to my calorie deficit (I won't log it in my diary) should be making a difference surely? Stats: 73.5kg, 5ft6, 24yo female
  • Hi Bonnie, unfortunately that profile pic is very old just after I had first lost weight when I was at my lowest of around 65kg. I've been steady at around 69-70kg in the past two years my maintaining healthy eating and intermittent gym. But then last year I had some personal issues and let it all slide for 4 months and I…
