  • Hey! Don't worry. On Saturday I had a lazy day in my house, went out to buy one creme egg, returned with three packs of sweets and ate them all. Had enough calories for a creme egg, but went over by an additional 1000 calories eating all of the sweets that I did. It's ok. As said before log it and move on. The next day I…
  • To lose a pound a week you need a 500 calorie deficit per day. I have MFP set as that and keep as close to it as I can. My daily calories are 1340 calories to lose that. I rarely eat back my exercise calories, aside from steps (which I link from my iPhone steps, not fitbit as fitbit tends to dramatically overestimate…
  • Hey, I was/am in a similar boat to you, and a lot of people said the same to me. I however have found that it is doable for myself. I have MFP at losing 1lb a week, and have 1360 calories to eat (used to be 1380 but adjusted for weight loss). I only eat back calories from my fitbit steps, and not from any exercise. Weekly…
  • Sorry I just saw that comment! I'll have a look thank you so much!
  • Hey thanks for the replies! At first I guessed a lot of my food measurements like rice and pasta but then after a couple of weeks began weighing everything exactly, so I know what I have as my daily calories is accurate, if in the slightest bit of doubt I'll overestimate. My gym routine at the moment is what my friend…
  • I am in the same boat! I had a super fast metabolism and then my boyfriend and I got together just under a year ago and I noticed about 2 months ago that I had put on about 20 lbs. Only downside to being so happy! I wish you luck to getting back to your ideal weight, we can do it!
  • I am 5'6 so am a perfectly healthy weight, my friends and family keep staying I STILL look good despite putting weight on but they don't see me under the clothes! I got weighed at the doctors yesterday and it matches my home scales. I just know my body isn't as good as it once was so am really wanting to get back to it.…
  • You look amazing! What kind of work do you do at the gym? I'm still a fairly new person to working out.
  • I weigh 9 stone 6. To be honest scales don't matter much to me, its just the fact no trousers or jeans that I own fit me and I see my figure each morning and groan! I think if I got down to around 8 stone 10 (the last weight I remember having before not feeling good) I would be fine! I do get that muscle weighs more than…
  • I have recipes stored and weigh everything so it's as accurate as I can get using this app! I know BMI is not the best thing for weight, but for the purposes of this my BMI falls right in the middle of healthy at 21.3. I just have a lot of flab and nothing is toned so want to get fit. Taking what you guys have said into…
  • Thank you all for the replies! I think it could be the colder temperatures- where I live it seems to have gone instantly from mild to freezing in a week. Feel a lot more positive about it. I've been thinking about investing in a fitbit since I started but wasn't sure but guess this is the perfect time of year to keep an…
  • Hmm that could be it. I read the comments for the longer ones and it's full of comments saying they're dripping with sweat and struggling to finish, just as with the shorter ones. Also the calorie guideline for one 30 min video is approx. 300 calories whereas the 45 minute one is approx 400? I feel like I'm pushing myself…
  • Hi thank you all so much for your replies, they have been very helpful. My portions have been enough to stop me feeling hungry but I do see how I can easily bring more into my diet. I usually have homemade soup for lunch which from the recipes section on this I worked out a serving is usually around 150 calories. I also…
