  • Hi everyone! Sorry been out of touch with the world for a few days. Thanks for all the sound advice! Will keep it all in hand! The profile picture was takin in March, the day I was disgnosed with builimia. This week has been easier- I feel like i have eaten my weight in fruit and veg but on Sat & Sun I felt so ill I didn't…
  • I agreee with some of the previous posts, this all depends on your fitness level. A friend of mine is super skinny, does strength training relentlessly but can't walk the length of herself without panting for breath! She started the C25K a few weeks ago and gave up cos it was "too hard". Now, I had to try this for myself.…
  • Breathe, breathe and BREATHE! A friend of mine is in the opposite of this- she lies in, doesn't work, doesn't really clean the house, whereas her hubby gets up EVERY morning with the kids, even if hes had a late night and she hasnt! I know it's probably hard to do, but calmly telling him how you feel might help? Ask for…
  • To be honest, if I cut out fruit I would have almost nothing to eat. I already don't eat any bread or sweets or cereals- just eggs, beans, mushrooms, fish, quorn meat and plenty of leafy greens and tomatoes. I'm gonna keep it at 1200 for another two weeks and see if it makes any difference. On a side note- has anyone else…
  • Thanks everyone for your comments.... They're equally as confusing but I think I have the just! My BMR is 1440 and my TDEE is 1770 so if intake 500 from my BMR we're at the 900 mark.. But if I take it away from my TDEE it's 1270..... Today I ate 1200 or so without being hungry or feeling deprived of anything. My main issue…
  • This comment is VERY helpful- thank you!! When i change my MFP settings to 0.5lb per week it increases my calories to 1550- i really dont think I could eat that much without eating poorly. I literally only eat fruit, veg (no potatoes) and meat.....I've cut out yoghurts because they are all high in sugar and bread because…
  • I really dont wanna get into a fad diet although this week I am trying a gluten free week and minimal diary (messed up today and had a skinny latte) I appreciate that everyone is different but any advice would be great: my doctor wont give me any advice because she thinks I'm light enough for my "BMI"
  • So do you agree that me sticking to 1200 *should* be ok for me to loose weight? I have 17 weeks to loose 10 lbs....with two weddings to attend in between so realisitcally 15 weeks...... :)
  • Help please! I'm 24, 5ft6 and weigh 145lbs. In February I came off the contraceptive pill, starting eating 1000 calories a day and exercising to excess (5 -6 times a week). In March I was diagnosed with bulimia-nervosa (non-purge) and have since been to counsellors, etc, because from Feb 1st to March 16th I lost 10lbs…
