Thanks for the link it is very interesting reading...

I am 5ft 4in (1.65mtrs) according to my BMI I am still over weight by around Seven pounds and that is the high end range. My scales measure body fat which is saying 23% but I don't understand why I should not lose anything other than the 1kg fluctuation especially since I have started running and although I have lost…

Wow I just looked at your profile, good news beating T2 diabetes, I have just started interval training so I think that should kick start or shock my system into burning off the last pounds but I must admit it is hard to be motivated when the scales just don't move.

You do look great well done and keep it up !!!

I am a red wine drinker but generally leave the drinking until the end of the week and allow for it in my calories !!!

Thanks for all your comments, I get it now, because the goal cal intake is quite low, I did not realize the deficit was already built in and I must admit when I don't train I try to keep to the 1200 goal however I am very much guilty of only eating 100 or 200 of my exercise cals back. I was wondering why the scales were…

It's nice to hear that I am not alone , thanks for all your comments. I suppose I don't like to accept that I am getting older mind you when it comes to fitness I checked my fat level and it's 24% and I can do 40 minutes on a step machine at level 12 before I do a session with the weights so I am pleased with my fitness…

It is great that you want to do this for your son this will give you the motivation you need but a side to this with weight comes other problems like diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol you name it. You are only a young man so losing the weight if you are careful with food and do even a little exercise will make a big…

I generally eat between 1200 and 1300 every day, you are welcome to log onto my profile and look at my food diary to give you food suggestions.

Your BMR is calculated taking into consideration your age, weight and height for example I am 46 and 154lb so my BMR has been calculated at 1200 calories per day which I will burn doing nothing. I may burn 700 calories in the gym alone without my daily activities, I must eat the 1200 calories minimum to keep my body…
