  • I am going to start this tomorrow. Since I left the gym in order to cycle to work instead, I have noticed that I am less toned than I used to be so I will be using this to compliment my cycling (16 miles 3/4 times a week) I am looking forward to it!
  • The amount of calories i'm eating is what MFP recommends to lose 1lb a week. I find it hard to eat back all of my exercise calories back sometimes. I'm not sure what to eat to help make it up.

I try to avoid going to the gym on these days but even when I do i still find it hard without resorting…
  • Hi Its good to know i'm not the only one. I wonder if my body is just confused, it's gone from a highly physical job where i had to eat at least 2500 calories a day, to a serene job and eating 1400.
