The first is definitely more my type :)

Bump again? sorry. Just wondering if anyone had any final answers to what the problem may be/have been and what I should do?

I have actually suffered from an ED in the past so haven't had my TOM in 4 years :S Finally a doctor actually decided to do something about this when i saw her last week and I'm having ablood test on Wednesday to check my hormone levels. They're probably fine but if so then I'm going to hstart taking the pill to get more…

I really doubt I actually am that body fat percentage. The gym instructor agreed when i said this. He said he'd guess at around 14-16 more realistically looking at me. So calorie-wise what should i be eating? I do my weight sessions, usually in the gym for 1.5-2 hours each time including rests. Then all of the walking on…

Yes i have been at a deficit. I have woried recently it's been too much of one as I'm quite active. Hence the recent up in cals. Here's the last few months weekly averages: Fevruary 11: 1313 Feb 18: 1352 Feb 25: 1328 March 4: 1435 March 11: 1131 March 18: 1306 March 25: 1348 April 1: 1599 April 8: 1718 April 15: 1916 April…

Bump?

I love the sound of this but is there something similar for an android phone?

City of Bones. It's pretty good! Love a bit of fantasy. I just finished an amazing book I NEED to recommend called 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. AMAZING book! Go take a look at it online :)

I have this problem too. Exactly the same and it's horrible. I hate having to suck my stomach in all the time when in the morning it is often pretty flat and toned :( If you find a solution feel free to share haha. Sometimes it's just a slight bloat but often it's literally like I could give birth any minute XD Ugh...

Yes.

I do have a HRM but just for extra exercise. What would be a good thing to get if I want to monitor my daily calorie expenditure including when I'm just sitting down/standing?

I really wanted to get one but they're not available in the UK :( I can't find anything good for calculating daily calorie expenditure over here (except Kifit but that is ridiculously expensive).

Yeah I'm stuck between that or this new MIO active connect advertised on MFP with a 25% launch discount so it would be the same price as the new fitbit. Difficult! I'm just thinking this new MIO one might be more accurate as it mentions exertion, not just being a pedometer.

I did like the look of fitbit, but I'm just wondering whether it's accurate enough as it's just a pedometer and not really based on effort as far as I'm aware?

EDIT: I should mention that I already have a HRM, but currently only use it for exercise. I'm so confused atm though about my activity etc... that I don't log these calories anyway. I'm not sure about using my HRM for this purpose though as wearing it all day would make the battery wear out

Thank you so much!! This is exaclty the sort of advice I was looking for :D Are you sure I would be counted as 'Very Active' though? I thought I was moderate at the moment, even then I though maybe lightly active? Is that including all the exercise I mentioned including the random gym sessions? The gym sessions will…

oh no! My BMI isn't that low! It's around 17.5/6 so it's still healthy really. I certainly don't look underweight like I said. I am looking to tone more than lose but a few moe pounds would be nice I'm really just more worried about how many calories I need with regards to my new daily routine? And what exercise should I…

I've actually been out of inpatients for just over 1.5 years now, and out of outpatient for almost a year. It's just that I'm fnding the ED thoughts a bit harder to deal with recently as I'm so confused over how much i should be eating now with my new routine, and whether I'm eating too little/too much etc... I definitely…

I have a very small frame, so although my BMI says I'm underweight (only by a tin bit anyway), I don't look underweight at all I promise :) I just want to lose a few more pounds but I'm stuck. Also i need help with calculating my maintenance calorie intake anyway for when I want to maintain my weight soon :) Just so I…

Height: 5'8 Heaviest: 142 (when I measured but it's been a bit more) Current: 115-116 (my scales don't work very accurately on the carpet here at uni :/) GOAL!!!! : 110? (I know it sounds low but I promise I don't look sickly haha)

Bump? (sorry, I know it's a long post, but I really don't want to eat too little or too much, but am clueless as it's such a drastic change from my routine back home)

Thanks for the tip, just what I needed! :)

What's the fact behind this? Not that I don't trust you, I'm just curious...

I really just want to know how i should increase my carbs? I know suddenly eating loads is a bad idea. I eat around 25% carbs at the moment with fruit and vegetables. How much should I go up by as i add, and how often? Sorry for the bumping!

I've read everywhere that brown rice is much better than white rice though? And sweet potatoes are great, but I think they're more expensive than regular potatoes which defeats the purpose of me having carbs again really :/
