Do you think that 1900 calories per day is sufficient to drop some pounds?? Seems a lot but ill trust the calculator and give it a bash. Read on here that a lot of people think Scooby calculator over estimates the calories. Can i ask what your own experience has been?

Hi- So I’ve gone on to Scooby calculator and selected the following: Moderate exercise- as figure I go 4 times a week so this would fall into this category- But maybe not if im not doing heavy cardio each session?? Loose 20% Fat- Getting married in 11 weeks so want to work hard at this and see a difference. My results are:…

Hi- I wear a heart rate monitor each time I go to the gym for accurate calorie burn, so i looked back over the last few weeks and the 400 is an average I’ve taken per session. the calories burnt include my warmup and any cardio I do over the course of my session which often includes around 15- 20 mins of rowing/ running as…

HI- What does WOL mean? So a typical day for me would be: B- Omelette or something egg based with veggies L- Salad with chicken Mid afternoon before the gym- Greek yoghurt and some berries After the gym- Protein shake Dinner, some meat and vegetables Usually this comes in around 1500-1700 calories but i have been known to…

Oh and i chose lightly active?

I am doing crossfit twice a week just now but increasing this from next month as im still only a few months in so learning technique etc. Im walking about 20 miles a week also. How did you lower your body fat and what is your typcial macros/ calorie intake per day? Thanks! :)

I have looked at the Scooby Calculator and it says that with the Miffin- St Jeor method my: BMR- 1249 TDDE- 1718 Calories needed per day to lose fat- for 10% reduction- 1546 So do I aim to eat the 1546 per day and eat back any exercise calories? Or do I save the exercise calories? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I am building up ym lifting at crossfit :) How do i figure out what my maint calories would be?? Sorry i am clueless on this sutff and have followed WW before where it was all about counting points x

I am 5ft 2 x

Hi There, I stumbled across this as I have been doing crossfit for the last few months and seemed to have gone up 5lbs on the scales…. I prob eat from 1400-1600 calories on average a day but work out and walk a number of miles a day. I am starting to think im not eating enough and have read about this TDDE etc… and how we…

I survived! We done Tabata of the following: 8 Reps of each movement of 20 secs on 10 off Squats Pullups Pressups Rowing Situps Others said it was a good wod for newbies so I was pleased and scaled as I needed to. Im going back on Thursday for more so wish me luck! x

Can you buy these in the UK? I was lokig on my protein.com for some ideas. Thanks :)

I do and im terrible! im going round and round in circles with this weight loss and often feel like im getting nowhere, need to buck my ideas up!!

I am currently UK 8 and 124 and would like to get to 118 then see how i feel. Lowest i have been is 122 but never been able to get those last few pounds off so im here :)

Thanks, how do you figure out your TDEE?

I have just worked this out on the website and my BMR is 1357, the TDEE is 1872 based on light activity, so is a 1200 calorie a day plan ok? Im sorry i get so confused with this, maths was never my strong point! x

5ft 3 125lbs size 8

im a size 8 but could do with toning up round my waist. It is hard though especially when you have little to lose as its a slow process!

Hey, glad to see some more body pumpers I'm 5ft 3 and have total of: Squats 20-24kg Chest 12kg Triceps- 7-8kg Biceps 7kg Back 12kg Lunges 10-12kg Shoulders 7kg Abs 5kg weight. :)

Well done, i have just done L2 D2, and its hard! :( Havent noticed a difference on scales either but i am starting to feel trimmer so hopefully after the 30 days will see a difference in inches xx

im 5ft 3 and around 124-126 lbs. I would say i am pretty active, i walk to and from work every day 25 mins each way, run 3 times a week and do body pump on the alternative days and have recently started to do shred ( on day 9) My job is office based though so i dont really move at all while im at work. Thanks for everyones…

Ive had a look on here and chose the maintenance option and it says that i should be 1560 to maintain?? if this is right eating 1500 wont help me lose weight! Any thoughts anyone?

How do i know what my maintenance calories would be? I could try to eat 1200 as recommended but i really struggled before, i was hungry all the time and found even after excersigin and eating those calories i still needed it to be at least 1400-1500 Thanks for all your replies!

I run 3 times a week, do body pump twice a week, shred every day and walk back and forth to work fast past 25mins each way. Dont have time to do anymore at present. I do sweat when im working out but it just doesnt seem to be enough. :(

Thanks for all your replies. Today is my weigh in day and compared with last week im 2 lbs heavier so feel a litle disheartened :( I have always exercised regulary so no change there, but as you say may be due to retention, i did eat more bread yesterday than normal so maybe its due to this. I should maybe stay off the…

Do you do any additional workouts with the 30 day shred? currently i walk 25 mins to and from work daily and go to the gym 3-5 times a week to do running and body pump ( getting back into my routine) but everyone is raving about this 20min workout so thought i would give it a bash. I find as soon as i stop doing exercise…

Well done, looking great!
