  • wow azackery, thanks for taking time to reply in so much detail, i see now why its difficult to predict how much weight is required to lose to affect body fat % because it's impossible to know whether this is lean mass loss or not too. furthermore i think i may have also been misguided my following the scales results in…
  • another silly question, how big is a cup?

  • Thanks everyone! Really that has helped a lot. What you have all said has made sense to me, in particular this quote. I've actually adjusted my goal to -1lb per week so my new goal is 1800 calories a day. This sounds about right to me. I'll stick to this for a week or two and then re-assess my progress then. I actually…
  • UPDATE: So I weighed myself today. The last time i weighed myself was Friday and i was 180 lbs, I realise it's only a few days but today I am 178 lbs. So it looks like these naughty days aren't too bad after all? Maybe it's too small of a sample but looks to me like maybe eating more over a couple of days could actually…
  • nothing spectacular really, enjoyed a nando's earlier though hehe
  • I can also confirm that. @chrissie: you're talking about a further 60 or so miles north. They are based from Teesside so around the Middlesbrough area. @DaveyG: I think the pic is slightly misleading that's a smaller pizza box. Yeah back on the x2 weetabix from tomorrow morning though
  • Here's the bad boy himself: approx 1400 calories http://i51.tinypic.com/2637yoo.jpg ..accompanied w/ this: an additional 600 calories http://i53.tinypic.com/2v7uvxe.jpg **heaven w/ x-factor!
  • 440...........this better be worth it.. NOM NOM Also, i'm necking on with a chicken parmesan, which for you all that don't know is a regional-favourite Teeside dish, check it out at your peril on wiki.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmo wowsa! a full sized portion is 2600 without the garlics sauce!! i'm only having 1/2…
  • Completely agree with the balance comments. I basically lasted 4 weeks of pure dieting where I never exceeded 1300 a day! And f**k me was i a miserable b*****d! It got to the point where it affected my happiness and mood. And what's more I had stopped losing weight anyway, so i said to myself I am going to just keep…
  • stop showing off eh? ;p
  • Tip: perhaps increase the incline/gradient on your treadmill to 0.5-1.0 so that it's slightly more intense, similar to outdoors.
  • You miss typed "103" for 203 right? 220 - age is only an approximation equation, but it won't be far off. Simply, if you are in very good health/fitness, as you describe you're muscles will have to work much harder than someone who is very unfit in order to increase your heart rate.
  • Salad, specifically lettuce, i just never even bothered with this before when I had it as a side along w/ some main course, now it's a big part of my main meal and tastes even better w/ some nice dressing eg. salad cream (low fat obv!) I even found myself tucking into a bunch of grapes tonight, 3 months ago it would've…
  • Thanks for this, I think it's just applicable for the US/Canada though
  • Thanks for the advice people. I'll try and stick to bigger chains then. It's a shame this info isn't just on menus, then again the place might not get as much business if they disclosed what some of their things contained!
