That would give me 1540kcal instead of 1340. Hmm.. difficult. I think I'll first try to eat back my estimated workout calories and see what that does. On one hand I want to get rid of the excess weight as I got it in a year longer phase of depression and want to close out that part of my life. On the other hand I know I…

Fair enough <3 Sorry for claiming the English speaking world mostly uses imperial measurements.

There was no first week water weight drop. I was already working out for a while, thus there was not workout water retention either. Though I'd not really retained water from starting to work out regularly. Been running for years, but stopped for now due to the weather. I started the body weight exercises in my flat about…

Ok, excuses for being not clear. This is the best English I can manage.

Geez, not everybody is a native English speaker, and that I use cm and kg probably means that I'm not from the UK or US. No, I said that I'm losing the equivalent of 430kcal faster per day than expected. I don't this is due to a 30 minute workout with lots of breaks. Hence it must be due to a higher than expected BMR. I'm…

Yep, that's what I wrote above. Half an hour comes down to about 110kcal. That certainly won't hurt.

That's not me.

Yeah, I've been looking at the calisthenics, light workout. For 30 minutes it gives me 110kcal. I don't think I'm doing a vigorous workout, and bodyweight squats, lunges, pushups and the likes probably don't burn much calories. So it's probably safe to eat all of those.

Thanks a lot :) I feel great to be honest and my workouts are not suffering. My body feels much stronger and my posture is much better. Hey, I can feel different leg muscles. But yes, based on what I'm losing I'm either burning much more with my workouts, or my TDEE is much higher. MFP has me on 1340 per day to lose 0.25.…

There's a 'don't' missing. Sorry.

Thanks. Aww, what a lovely avatar you have! <3 I ran a few other calculators and they all put me on similar TDEEs without workouts. But my guess is as well that it's quite a bit higher. Plus I build muscles so enormously quickly from just doing bodyweight exercises. It's nearly unreal. I don't mind, mind :D but it's odd…

Thanks a lot. That explains. Fortunately, ovulation and period doesn't play a role for me. But yes, there are probably sufficient other reasons to hold onto water.

Thanks all. That really helps. So I guess I'll see what happens in the coming weeks. Maybe I do get a visit from the whoosh fairy :p

Thanks for the flower <3 I think I'm a wee bit pedantic, so would never call it HIIT. At the same time I'm so pedantic that I don't want to log it as circuit as it would give me 274kcal (see? I write kcal :p ) for a 32 minute workout, which, quite honestly sounds a lot. And yes, being pedantic, it feels wrong to me to eat…

Yep, it's still a downward trend, though no idea what my weight looked like in the month before. 1/10/2018 64.2 kg 1/09/2018 64.2 kg 1/08/2018 63.8 kg 1/07/2018 64 kg 1/06/2018 64.4 kg 1/05/2018 64.4 kg 1/04/2018 64.7 kg 1/03/2018 64.5 kg 1/02/2018 64.6 kg

Yes, I guess I just learned the difference between deciding to lose 0.25kg per week, and actually doing so :D It's like: what the heck, only 200 grams?!? Oh, but that's what I chose, right? :o I guess I'm kind of missing the noob losses many people report on.

But that would only be water weight then, right? So at a certain time this water is gone. Or I gain water weight again, and lose it again. But it changes nothing about my actual weight... Actually, the scale app looks nice! It's a keeper.

Oh phew! I was getting worried for a moment. Thanks a lot Ruth! Yes, lets see what happens. I didn't gain this weight in a week but rather in the course of a year. Actually, I'm surprised I only gained 8kg considering all the snacks I ate. A big bag of crisps in stead of my usual dinner (which I guess is around…

Whoosh? I thought I'd done my research, but I've not come across this yet :D Surely not diarrhea? :s

Yep. I know. I just have a sweet tooth and enjoy this bar as it's the only candy I currently eat. I'm sure Ill offset it mostly with my workout again. Unless of course my BMI turns out to be rubbish. But time will tell, right? I don't want to increase my deficit as the amount of food I eat at the moment feels comfortable.…

Thanks a lot @tinkerbellang83 I didn't indulge over Christmas but instead enjoyed a quiet day at home and a long hike on the other day. I live alone (which is part of why I was depressed for most of 2017 and gained weight. Husband left me). All I did was: do research from Christmas on about weight-loss and then started…
