HIs name is Professor Rodney Graham and I asked my GP for a referral. He also saw my elderly mother (able to put her feet behind her head at 78!!) I need to manage my weight to help avoid…

  • New to IPOARM and really new to a lot of this stuff so please bear with me. I have posted a couple of messages on other boards but don not get notification of replies so have to go hunting. I have looked in my settings to no avail. Also, what is HTM? And the spreadsheet ... I have a Mac and can't seem to enter my own…

  • Tanks Jazz. I've calculated my BMR at 1401 and TDEE at 2172 so the difference is 771. I've set my MFP to 1846 following Scooby. EM2WL states that, if I do more than the difference in exercise I must eat back the cals to stay above my BMR. But, I did an hour of swimming (567 cals) which was less than the 771 difference but…

  • Thanks for the reply. I guess that i want to choose a plan that is sustainable. I tried dropping right down and lost half a pound a week tops (some weeks i'd lose nothing). With around 16 pounds to lose that means a minimum of 32 weeks and, frankly, I can't sustain eating 1000cals whilst maintaining work and exercise as…

  • Hi. I am new on here and feeling very upset! I am 51, fit and active all my life and on HRT for about 4 years. I was very poorly a few years ago and gained about 10 pounds on medication despite being rigorous about calorie counting. I have now been tracking since early November 2012 and have only lost 2 pounds!! I have…
