Hi and a warm welcome! I'm not an expert, but I'm in a similar weight-range (though male) and I'd say those goals look realistic - you can do this! :) Just doing some quick math with your stats, but 1300 net cals (I'd rather say even a bit more) should be fine for you if you want to lose 35 pounds in 7 months, don't get…

Just to add one more supporting voice: When I first started here I gained more than a pound in my first week. But since then I am exactly on track (1,5 pounds per week) for the last two months following MFP calculations. Just give your body the time to get starting :)

Yeah well, the same thing she said, I guess. *ducks and runs* :tongue:

-- Reverse the direction, increase food intake and exercise and bulk up. This has been a fun ride so far, and I'm curious to see how far this old trusty body of mine can be transformed :happy:

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Keep us updated, you're not in this alone! :smile:

There are such things as <measuring spoons>? :noway: :laugh: Well then, I take back some things I wrote before. I still :heart: my scale though, as it should prove to be quite hard to fit, say, a slice of bread or a fillet of chicken into an appropriate measuring device.

Ooh, thanks a lot for the clarification, this is news to me too :D I always thought a pint was less than half a litre, and was pleasantly surprised by the sizes of beerglasses in the UK. Not so convinced about the taste though, as I happily agree with CouchSpud, being Austrian of origin and used to a completely different…

To add my two cents to the ongoing "t(b)sp-spoon-discussion": I can only strongly encourage everyone to get and use a food-scale. I found out that the TABLEspoons I'm using in my kitchen only hold about 7 grams of oil, which is about half the weight given by the label on the bottle and the estimations used in MFP. On the…

I have no experience and little opinion about Optislim or similar weight-loss products, but looking through your diary of the last few weeks I noticed a few things. The first and most important issue I noticed is that it seems like you are starving yourself on most days, especially on the ones where you do a lot of…

I'm quite new as well, but I've read a bit in the forums (can only recommend that - soo much information) - and the answer in a nutshell is: eat them. The number the MFP gives you already has your intended deficit built in. So when you do your cardio, you're using more energy, which you should allow your body to have in…

Hmm, if it is the entertainment (TV, group, ..) you miss when doing weights - then have you ever tried listening to an audio-book during your exercise? It works great for me, time flies whenever I concentrate on an exciting story. :smile: Oh and it even helps when doing dishes :wink:
