my breakfast doesnt total much more than your snack that will sustain you for a short burst whereas i last the whole morning on mine

i didnt eat a single bad item as way of snacking---i kept under my normal daiily allowance of 1200 cals and today i will double my effort in the gym. yesterday was rest day for me!

The thing i would ask for would be floor exercises because those you can do at home and have more technique than the equipment-you will learn that as you go along.

i have come to this logical conclusion---when your calories are set by mfp you give your start weight and this is used to set your calorie rate but as your weight reduces in theory so should your bmr calorie intake-so if you eat all your calories your weight loss will slow down or even stop!

when you get your initial bmr rate for your calorie count it is obtained by giving your start weight-as your weight goes does your bmr reduces thus meaning you need less calories to live-so if you dont reduce your intake your weight loss will reduce or stop as many do---i started with a bmr of 1717 and now i am down to…

yesterday i had 900 calories of exercise and i start from only 1200 thats about an 75pc increase--i wouldnt want to eat that much if i could physically do it while keeping on only healthy foods

drink it 30mins before the meal to stop the nutrients flooding out!

my wife dices my steak portion up and puts it in a green bean dish with a healthy gravy--i get the protein mixed with fiber and my brain doesnt see it as a small meal easily eaten in seconds

isnt a ml a fluid measurement---like you measure in a cup--i just spoon rice in a cup( not a mug!)---next we will have a world record for how much lettuce you can get in a cup!!

i dont actually watch my sugars but prefer to watch my fats and sat fats --i eat lots of nuts and they have lots of 'good fat in them but it just gets totalled as fat -thats how i regard fruit sugar ---in MY diet--as good but i am aware of bad sugar.

i eat at least 3 portions of fruit a day sometimes 6 and have noticed no resistance to loss--i think i keep to a pretty natural good diet-i avoid processed food as much as possible because of its complexity and possible hidden sugars- if i dont eat all my calories i dont pile into the complex sugar food because as i see it…

like i said i dont and i still lose 2lbs a week and that is a higher percentage for me because i am smaller. i dont eat my calories back but i get hungry the next day--im sure the 2 are linked but i grind it out and keep under my allowance of 1200 cals. the max i have eaten here is 1600 cals++ im sure i could eat more if i…

shouldnt this number be a minus !!

in the theory of this place you have been fortunate not to push your body into starvation mode and a stop to the weight loss -i have done the same with my loss of 24lbs and still dont eat many of my exercise units--i sense i am slightly older than you so bang goes my theory of age and bmr affect!

starting weight 160lbs--today 9th june 10 target weight 154lbs İ started my quest on the 7th April 10 at the bulky weight of 183lbs and have come down (too) quickly according to those around me. i am in that period of grind and feeling hungry on days when i dont exercise--why is that?? i normally have a bunch of calories…

i had a green pepper. 8 olives. 20grs of feta cheese and a slice of corn bread-no drink -240 calories-i can ditto this for the rest of my life!

are green peppers super food too--i have a big bag in the fridge- not the hot type the sweet ones--i threw a sickie today but dont actually want to be ill!!! i pour things into a bowl on my kitchen scales to weigh them--just weigh the dish and put in a convienient amount--i know 3 apricots are 105gs so have a measurement…

i meant unecessary snacking and unhealthy -in the uk we have this quaint mid afternoon snack called tea and its a fest of all sorts of goodies these days--if i have a cuppa around this time i always get dragged to dipping my hand in the cookie jar!(homemeade of course!)-today i am resisting the cuppa and sticking to water-…

and the rest of the planet uses metric- i note you say US fl oz because they dont even tie up with the uk equivalent standard measurements where imperial was created about 300 odd years ago!! i have a sixties sports car in the uk that has gallons -us gallons and litres on it fuel gauge--even the uk has stopped using an…

when your young your metabolism is naturally more virilant--i dont think there is an answer to this-we are all unique and we have different diets with different components--i never eat all my exercise calories but come as closer to possible on other headings--a cup of chocolate is not going to give a good boost to the…

what is moderate effort to an extremely light fit person is different to an overweight unfit person--i do wish in this age of clever computers the gym machines could do the maths on the bpm you give it --it sets you an average heart rate for cardio based on your age and if you maintain it for most of the time it must be…

i am guessing 8floz is 250ml---i do wish we could speak in modern metric that is world standard unit

3354 plus 5= my loss(3359

i have a well researched article compiled by Oxford university in collaboration with harvard that goes against that--they did a mass test of hydration levels for people drinking only water against others drinking only sodas and tea etc and at the end of it there was no difference -water is water. Even food has a lot of…

green tea and any fluid counts as a unit of water--it doesnt just have to be water.

i am making it no snack wednesday- i have noticed i have lots of my food in the form of snacks between meals--it isnt all bad stuff but i am sure it is unecessary because i eat just my count. i get a definate sugar low after a meal where i feel hungry about 15 to 30 mins after but it passes soon enough if i show will…

i have more of an affliction of homemade cookies with a cuppa--i like tea and just think it needs something sweet to go with it! i used to be addicted to salted peanuts along with my beer- i gave up beer and the habit went--maybe you study what you are doing when you reach for these sunflower pips and break the habit by…

the sunflower seeds will be though--youre eating the wrong things!

my wife got weighty on them after giving up smoking --she would sit of an evening munching away and suddenly she realised she had put weight on-i just let her do it during woman's time now but otherwise i make nasty comments!--we have a 24 hour nut shop 30 yards from our front door and she can buy them by the kilo!--salted…

i have lost 24lbs since i started dieting and 20 of those since i was measured--there is only the expected baby left of me!! when i was young i had a lot of ops and my mother-in law who is a doctor says i may have scar tissue inside that give me girth and thus extra inches--she hinted it may be 6 to 10 lbs but i will fight…
