using the lower number at the moment. But the discrepancy seems alarmingly high

Oh I am sure they are amazaballs. However.. what I am wanting to know is what estimate to go with if one Does NOT have a HRM.

Firstly I don't have a hrm that calculates calories, or I wouldn't need to ask in the first place what my burn is. Secondly its for a weight training workout. Not cardio. Thirdly, My hrm is rubbish so I don't use it for weight training.

Yep another 3 squares a day here. I don't tend to snack cause my brain doesnt understand how A peice of fruit or A couple of crackers etc is just a snack and I find myself wanting more almost instantly. But 3 nice solid meals works great. :) Only caveat to that is.. I dont like to leave it too long between meals or I tend…

Ok. I agree with a lot of people here on the go to your doctor front. But I am not so much agreeing with some of the other advice. Please dont go messing with laxatives/enemas/fat bombing your body. If you have a condition like diverticulitus for instance.. you could just make things worse and end up in hospital. (speaking…

little meaty things, meatballs, chicken balls, .. sausages, sausage rolls, oooooo ham wrapped peices of cheese. See now look what you did.. *goes to hunt meat for breakfast*

Well I can relate to a few of these.. but slightly more worrying a couple I honestly didn't realise were... weird. Thought it was normal to make sure clothes all hang in the same direction in the closet and have matching coathangers. and my pantry is sorted into food groups. Actually know this stuff is weird. I love shoes…

Yay. Thats really awesome.!! Enjoy the endorphins :P

I underestimated fish, over estimated cheese. but by far the worst... gravy. I am Not going to separate it from the casserole meat to weigh or measure it. lol. But I am going to eat ALL THE GRAVY. jus saying. lol

5'4 and 42. My current goal is 154lb (70kg) I started out at 230lb (104kg) I havn't been lower than 165lb since i was 18 so I have NO idea what my frame actually is or how I will look untill I get there. But my theory is.. wait till I get there then reevaluate my goals.

You are still eating at a deficit. Your calories are maint minus a set percentage. Which is determined by how much you are trying to lose per week. Bigger loss goal, bigger defiicit. So even as you approach said 10lb mark, you are still eating at a deficit. Sure you can change it weekly if you like. Personally untill my…

If noone tells... I have discovered that mens jeans.. specially skinnys. fit great :P

Havn't read the whole thread. But you ladies that posted pics are awesome.. Absolutely freaken awesome. And Thankyou for showing me that you dont have to be 23 to look smoking hot. You rock. :) Thanks for the inspiration.

Feeling ya. If I get any work done.. ever. it will be the turkey neck. Drives me nuts. Every woman in my family has it.. urgh. and um.. yeah.. sorry. you do. *hugs*

Right.. well. I am a SAHM to our 4. Have been since #1 was born 18 yrs ago. Youngest is 9. It was a decision we made before we had children, as it was how i was raised and we are in a position financially where we can. So the benefits. It's really changed over the years depending on their ages. But its been a blast.…

Is it bad. I actually don' t know. LOLOL. I never paid attention. I like the weird ones. Or they like me I can never tell. In any case some of them find the best threads to follow :P so I keep them. and so I think that means I like them for their minds. *cough*

Good to know about the Ant+ and I have a gym at home complete with treadmill and such that connects to standard hrm. and I have nike+ but it doesnt meet my needs. As far as Endomondo goes. been using it for months and as of a week ago it no longer updates to mfp.. me and a few hundred other ppl. But thanks for the info.…

what about wench. how do you feel about that?

Mince=ground beef. We are so colonial here sometimes lol. And good luck with your daughter. Not sure if this will help at all. But I tend to discribe food to my girls (and my son :P)as everyday foods and sometimes foods and special occasion foods.

New Zealand. :) and I think if we had a national sammich.. it would be a mince and cheese pie. lol

I think its a cultural thing. Didnt even know what they were until an american friend told me a year or two ago. and I dont even think we can get 'jelly' here.. unless its just jam and I am missing something. But its on my bucket list :P.

In. cause I have never had a pb&j.

Was not what I expected when I clicked on the link. LOL. But well done you. Looking great

and I wish mine were smaller.. We should share :P

Sorry havnt read the whole post.. but Ok I am gonna attack this one from the other side. I have G cups... MOST of the time.. have gone up or down a cup size depending on weight.. but even when I was a teen I was an F cup and I was in the normal range of weight for my height. But get this. Due to my boobs my bmi was showing…

I have BDD and I have always seen myself as fat, even when I wasn't. (Though seriously these last 20yrs.. I definately have been fat) Regardless of what the scales say. and I have an almost phobic issue with having my photo taken. I am that ashamed of my body. So when this past christmas my mum asked for a couple of pics…

Realising this may have been mentioned already :P But firstly. Welcome to the madness that is MFP. Try to stay clear of the trolls and the fads. Also. Just be aware that scanning is a great tool. But you absolutely have to make sure that the serving size you scan is the actual ammount you are serving yourself. Food…

Thankyou everyone. And yes I am keeping it varied. Its the only thing that works. lol. and doing the body for life exercise plan type deal.. as it fits in really well with my life and gives me a place to start. And as of the thismorning my ever halarious addiction to the scale informed me I am back to what I was when I…

ha. Of course. Am an engineers daughter :P (that apple never falls far from the tree) so I hear ya loud and clear. More research is needed. But thankyou for a good place to start :D It is most definately appriciated

I am going to have to go partake of another coffee and wake up more and read that again a few more times. Its a lot of imformation to take in, but it seems pretty logical. And for what its worth, I am a 42yr old woman. 164cm tall and 87kg. Around 34kg of fat apparantly. Thats all the info I have at present :P. I am…
