I found that as long as I keep the portion of carbs within the recommended size ( which is so small I know 😱) I usually fall within reason of my goal. My numbers are a bit chaotic at the moment too since I’m trying to get back at it so I’m basing this from my previous experience. My biggest problem is eating too much. When…

I get what you mean. My way is to eat to my requirement during the day then I exercise to earn the calories needed for dinner then I have dinner. It can ( and has) backfired when I couldn’t get a workout done or not to the standard I required but my solution was to leave a bit of margin. @fitnessguy266 I’m trying the…

Zwift has helped me loads, particularly on what I called “ buying dinner” since an hour on it equalled for me the calories of a medium meal. It also boosted my confidence like crazy. And I’m the same Helen, most people start their journey for the Beach Body or the Bikini Silhouette, but I workout during the winter time…

1pm -9pm. I’m an evening person. I tend to skip breakfast anyway so I thought this could really work for me. I’ve lost 30lbs through calories counting alone then regained about half mainly because of late night emotional snacking. I cycle about 4-5 times a week.

I started IF yesterday. I wouldn’t mind tips and tricks to help me on this journey. 🙇🏻♀️

@justinejacksonm yes exactly. I keep mine in a word document so I don’t have to go back and fish it out the next time.

Get in the habit of swapping ! Get a calendar with little surprises or decorations instead of treats/choc. Have strawberries with your champagne instead of truffles Have carrot sticks with yogurt dips/hummus/ salsa instead of pretzels or nuts. Even one little thing can make a ton of difference. And I agree with…

I suppose it depends on how short you are from the 1000 as well. If you’re sitting all day and you’re only eating like 900 cal then it’s not so bad. I had a watch that calculated my energy expenditure for the whole day including sleep, sitting, walking, etc. And on a slow day, because I’m only 5ft i would not be spending a…

I compare all the time. I can’t help it. But now that I have lost most of the weight I wanted and am generally much fitter the comparison ceased to be automatically negative. And I feel better most of the time. Still a work in progress but heading there. There are parts of my body that not matter what I think I could never…

“Normal people diet and exercise. Athletes eat and train” That was told to me a good while back and I use it like a mantra. The right amount of food, not too much but definitely enough and actually working out on the bike rather than just pushing pedals is what is going to make someone a better cyclist. I eat a bit of…

My slip ups are my motivation to workout. Atone for my calories in a way. Also the day stops at midnight. I sometimes get stuff done at like 11pm because dinner has finally been digested and I don’t feel so sluggish anymore, etc. I’ve also done 5min workouts during ad breaks on TV during my evening movie/show. And also…

first be kind to yourself. The best advice I got here when I started and I was lashing out at myself the way you do was this : If you saw me eating a biscuit would you drag me in front of the mirror and call me fat and ugly and worthless ? so why do it to yourself? It is not doing much for self esteem. Do like kimny72 says…

walking is great. it may not burn as much s running but it still gets your heart going. I did most of my weight loss through honest logging and walking. I even downloaded Pokemon go on my phone so the kiddies wouldn't mind me taking them on a walk everyday. Find what would make your walks worthwhile, like nice landscape or…

And to you too @AustinRuadhain ! You must be happy breaking the 200 barrier !
