Recomp is definitely the way to go.

Thanks for the link, I am so bad at keeping up to strength training!

what is it you find tough about eating more? Peanut butter is great, i'm always an advocate of eating more PB if you need extra cals! I ran 10 miles this morning so todays food includes a banana with peanut butter as a post run snack and pizza for my tea... because it very easily fits in my calories (and macros) with a big…

OP says she's eating NET 800 cals, there's no 'may be the issue' about it! It 100% is the issue.
-
yes, you can net 1640 cals (eat 1640 plus exercise cals) and be in a deficit.
-
Definitely recomp instead of trying to lose more weight.
-
why is 170 too high for your HR? do you have heart problems? If so this is a question for your doctor, not internet randoms. I don't really see a great deal wrong with your workout routine, other than making one day an actual rest day, if you enjoy it and you start to fuel your activity properly. While you are eating so…

the good thing is, you don't need to eat 'healthy' to lose weight, you just need to eat in a calorie deficit. Short term, start with that? Also, have you cut carbs significantly? you don't need to cut carbs to lose weight. Then maybe look at some new recipes that are a bit more exciting than chicken and broccoli to get…

Use MFP, thats my tip! :laugh: It works! Weigh and log EVERYTHING you eat, do some exercise that you enjoy, eat back those exercise cals, and be patient! Make sure you set your weight loss goal correctly - you'd probably want to aim for 1lb a week max - and that your activity level (movement outside of exercise) is…
-
the app is buggy sometimes... welcome to MFP! :laugh:
-
do you weigh your food?
-
if you do a lot of exercise, it may be worth looking at your net calories as well. Other than that, I second the ideas of bulking meals with veg, and also start slow with the deficit, 2300 for a couple of weeks, then 2200, then 2100 till you get to where you want to be deficit wise.

excellent work, well done!!!!!
-
this :)
-
peanut butter is your friend for that one!
-
if your TDEE is 2500, why are you only increasing to 2200 cals for the next 4-6 weeks? That would mean you're in a 300 cal deficit so you'd still be losing half a pound a week, which negates the idea of a refeed to help your metabolism doesn't it?
-
well done!!!! :flowerforyou:

Woo hoo!!!!

I haven't commented on whether you're under eating or not... but for me, the more I can eat (when I was trying to lose weight) and still lose, the better... after all food is yummy, or you wouldn't 'stuff yourself silly' would you?
-
Surely the knowledge that you can eat more and still lose weight is a good thing?
-
You can definitely find all those things on MFP, just don't expect to have people interact with you if you're not going to make the effort to interact with them.
-
I'm using an app called 'plank workout' following the beginner 30 day programme.
-
I wouldn't be too fussed by the veg, but you need to weigh everything... its very unlikely all the chicken breasts are the same size in a package... I bought a 2kg tray of chicken at the weekend, and bagged it up into portions.... 8 chicken breasts, 2 in a portion weighed anything between 480g to 600g...
-
I work to my weekly goal, and eat all my exercise calories, just maybe not all on the same day.
-
what is the purpose of your 23 hour fast?
-
weight loss isnt linear. you've lost 5 pounds in 4 weeks? sounds like your weight loss is spot on.
-
maybe try a bigger lunch if you don't want an afternoon snack?
