Hey guys Ive only just seen all this thank you So much for your support. I'll Be totally straight I've just found out I'm pregnant only 5 weeks and im massively confused. I'm only a bit overweight but when I asked my midwife what I should do with my diet she just told me to carry on as I was (she didn't ask me what I was…

Love skinny my problem is i have 1, then another then i've used my calories, then i justify why i can go over my calories...by which time I've eaten an entire family of freddos!! Laura xx

Hey girlies, Thank you! I'm just a sucker for Cadbury's chocolate, i dont know whether you guys can buy that. I'd like to try no chocolate for a week to see the effects of it. Dark chocolate, frozen grapes and cacao nibs?? all sound amazing ideas!!! I'm defo going to try them. Thank you L-L xx

just seen this been out all day..... you lot are awesome!! ACTUALLY AWESOME!! xx

Well I think I blew it by 1250!!! Oooopsss!!!! I'm off to the gym in a second and I'm going to be super good today. I think the moral of the story is to concentrate on not eating when I have had a few to drink. We were at a fight where there was food served, it was gross!! anyway one friend fought and wanted food…

*blew my diet

Thank you that makes absolute perfect sense! I'm going to use your method don't eat it unless you have earnt it.... However!! I'm still unsure why MFP is telling me to eat 1280 if it was not correct for me to lost 1lb per week. There are so many successful people on what MFP has given them. What I do not want to happen is…

Oh goodness I think I'm just really dumb!! Can I ask what you guys are eating based on this fat2fit ratio and what are you losing? I'ms cared not to go by what MFP says but it would explain why last friday/saturday/sunday work outs i really struggled x

Sorry CoderGal whats tdee?? I think for now I will stick with MFP as I will love the motivation I have got back again, and if i get hungry i'm going to do as peope say satisfy my hunger. Thursdays I will have an evening snack before my 10pm tea x

Hi Mercenary, I'm usually ok but it just seems to be today. I'm wondering if its because I had 1200 cals yesterday and my body is actually hungry rather than it being my head. Thursdays are a long day up at 6am out the door at 7am and back home for 9.30 pm. So maybe I should look at that. L x

Hi therealangd I am eating more than 1200 per day maybe i didnt expalin that very well I eat 1200+exercise. Is this what you mean? x SO SO CONFUSED! x

Hey Kristy, Actually I just changed it so I am now allowed 1280...what i have been doing is having 1200 + exercise cals. So last night I was at college I did no exercise so had no extra calories. I have only been doing 1200 since I had a gain on Tuesday, before then I was doing 1280. I'm off to the gym tonight so what ever…

Activity Level Daily Calories Sedentary (little or no exercise, desk job) 1723 Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk) 1975 Moderately Active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk) 2226 Very Active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk) 2477 ok so this is the ifno it has given me i'd say i was moderately active i'm…

im confused, does MFP not give you cals based on that? x

hi lobster....BMR??? x

Its now open, didnt realise it was closed. WeightWars....the reason i am doing this is because I've listened to my body for two years which told me to eat eat eat!! ;P x

Thanks guys :)....off to college now and I'm already hungry. Gonna have to wait till I get in at 10pm to eat booooooooo x

Cheers guys!! I feel ace now, not have eaten anything... BDonjon I dont know whether American McDonalds do this but in England they serve porridge (195 cals) for breakfast which is ace if you have an early call far away.....x

I cant go for a run later as I am at college, in the back of my head I know I have to make my calories last today. I ate a biscuit yesterday and did better in the gym, i'm convinced the extra sugar helped me :) x

Hey all, just weighed myself two days later and I am 2.5lbs lighter....guess you were right about the fluctuations. Thursday will be my weigh day now :) LauraLoo x x

thank you x

sorry to sound stupid but what does HIIT mean? I'm not an expert in the gym but my fella has a manual job and trains in martial arts 5 x 2.5 hours a week....everyone is different. L x

Hey Hun the HRM will always be more accurate. I'm scared to go by mfp because the cals in exercise here don't take into account your personal stats. Say you were 30 stone & really unfit the calories you burn would be far greater than if you were 9 stone and super fit. Although its disheartening what your monitor says in…

Wow you guys are a knowledgable lot arent you. Im starting to feel really silly hehe!! Thank you so much for your advice, when I used to go to weight watchers it was almost, you must have had a bad week, start again. But there are so many variables and now it seems very obvious! Im absoultely going to persevere and I will…

Hi Kristy, I weigh myself first thing in my birthday suit to minimise variables BUT since I am a good girl through the week and treat myself more at a weekend I wil weigh in on a Friday or Saturday morning. I may go for Saturday actually :) Thank you for the tips! LauraLoo xx

Wow thats really interesting about the scuba diving!! Definately puts that into perspective! Melanie I'm so pleased you stuck to it!! Perhaps we will both be top models in a tear or so hehe! This is what I love about this site, I no longer feel rubbish about it. You guys have really helped me through that barrier......it…

Hi hun the 1250 is the recommend amount of calories before your work outs. Why dont you try putting in an average of what you would work out because that will then give you extra calories. I'm new to this but I think that could be the answer...for example my base rate is 1280 + 600 ish I work out in the gym = 1880 per…

Thank you loveskinny and all the other posts may I add you?? I will measure tonight x My love handles are defo smaller! x

Hey guys thank you for all your advice, I'm feeling positive again! Mind if I add you all?? Pink_and_Shin yes I have only been at it one week, my clothes do feel a bit slacker and I'm not sure about my meal....prawn stir fry with rice, maybe i was generous on the rice. Openheaven - good point but i'm actually slap bang in…

I know but once a week should be fine right? I'm 1lb more than my stArting weight and given the amount of crap I was eating with no exercise hardly...I don't get it! X
