You don't have a lot left to lose so I would recommend setting your goal to lose 1/2lb a week, 1lb at most. Not sure what that is in kg though sorry. The closer you get to goal weight, the closer your calorie goal should get to maintenance calories. Hope this helps. Good luck :flowerforyou:

Rice pudding :)

You've only been trying this for 2 weeks - give yourself more time, at least 6 - 8 weeks. At 5'4" and 9.5 stone, you are already a healthy weight, so you will find it harder to lose. Set your goal to no more than 1/2lb a week. Good luck :flowerforyou:

Firstly, I know it can be difficult, but try not to let it get you so frustrated. The more worked up you get over it, the more you are likely to let your emotions affect your eating habits, which can just lead to a vicious cycle. Secondly, you need to have patience. How long did you give each attempt before deciding that…

Hi there. I'm around the same stats as you (5'3", 149lbs, aiming for 132lbs). I've got MFP set to lose 1/2lb a week, which has given me a NET goal of 1450 on sedentary and I eat back my exercise calories. I would advise setting yours to lose 1/2lb and make sure you eat back your exercise calories, or at least half of them.…

I found them in Tesco, but I've only seen them the once. I think they have to be in season (late autumn / early winter) for them to stock them.

As you are so close to your goal, you should set MFP for no more than 1/2lb per week loss. Keep netting the goal that it gives you. You may put on some weight while your body readjusts if you have been only eating at 1200 for a long time. Give it at least 8 weeks before you try anything different. Also, if you just want to…

How tall are you? Just to let you know so you have a comparison, I am 5'3", have 16lbs to go and have it set to lose 1/2lb week. I net 1500 on average over the week and I'm still losing. I am a programmer so sat all day and most of the evening.

Am I correct in assuming that you have MFP set to lose 2lbs a week? According to your ticker, you only have 20 or so to go, so I would suggest setting it lose 1lb a week. This will give you a higher daily calorie goal, while still being in a deficit to lose the weight.

I get what you are saying. I was thinking it would work the same way, though I've not synced mine yet to find out. Yesterday I burned lots of cals doing 2 hours of Krav Maga which I have put into MFP. As it's not a purely step based exercise, fitbit under reports cals by a lot. Later that evening, I went for a 20 minute…

Regarding press ups, when I first started I couldn't even do one "girly" press up from my knees. I built up my strength by doing them against the stairs. So to start with I was leaning against the 4th step up, then when that became easier, I moved to the third step, until eventually I could do full press ups flat on the…

Slice them up, freeze, blend once frozen = healthy icecream :happy:

Well done for taking the first step and congratulations on your 5lb loss! My advice: - Try not to get disheartened when the weightloss slows down. - No matter how often you weigh yourself, try to look at the overall trend rather than the ups and downs. Especially true if you weigh in everyday. - Don't beat yourself up if…

Hi! Don't give up. I think you just need to re-evaluate your goals. At 5'6" and 137lbs, you are well within your healthy range, so losing weight will be harder. Your best bet would be to set your goal to lose 0.5lb a week at most. Also, it might not be weight that you need to lose. I'm guessing that you don't like how your…

I feel your pain - I've been stuck between 152 and 154 since January. After a few weeks of umm-ing and ah-ing about it, I've decided to bite the bullet and I'll be ordering a Fitbit this evening. Hopefully it will be a useful tool to help me get my weight moving again.

It depends where you are on your weightloss journey to be fair. If you are just starting out and have over 50lbs to lose, then I would say it could be done. If it's the last 20lbs before you reach your goal, then I would have to say that I don't think so, at least not healthily.

I bought it in February last year when I first started to lose weight. I was *very* unfit and couldn't even make it through the first workout. I cried with how pathetic I was that I couldn't even do 20 minutes of exercise without quitting. The DVD went into the cupboard... out of sight, out of mind... Now, over a year…

Sorry it's taken so long to reply. The following is just a suggestion by the way. This is based on what I've read on the forums and my own personal experience. According to fitnessfrog (http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html), it estimates that your TDEE (not including exercise) is 2135. This is at…

How tall are you and what is your current weight? 1700 seems like a very low figure for TDEE. I'm only 5'3" and my TDEE is 2000, and I only do 2 one hour sessions of Krav Maga as my exercise each week. Edited to add: Also, you've done awesomely so far. Congratulations on the 14kg that you've lost over the past year!

Where I live we have the Staffordshire oatcake. Its a type of pancake and you add your fillings and roll it up. My favourite filling is cheese and bacon, with a bit of BBQ sauce in there too. Very "not good" for you, but so yummy!! It used to be that once you left the county very few people would have heard of them. My…

Thanks for sharing! I've tried to make other "mug cakes" before and they've not turned out well. I'm not giving up on the idea just yet though! I'll try this one at some point soon!

In my humble opinion, you are not eating anywhere near enough. I'm 5'3", only workout about twice a week and I'm eating an average net of 1600. You really can eat more and still lose! In fact, if you are lifting heavy, you should definitely be eating more to feed your muscles. I also aim to get about 100g of protein each…

^^ This The closer you get to your goal weight, the less of a deficit you should have. :flowerforyou:

Search for "youcube" on youtube. It's a video series that tells the story about a guy named Peter, but he works in an office and each episode gives another idea for exercise in the office :smile: Link: http://www.youtube.com/show/youcube (Pretty sure this is the right link - can't check it at work!!)

At a guess, you may have calculated your TDEE incorrectly as that seems very low. Or you may be getting confused with your BMR. What is your height and weight, and how much exercise do you do each week? I'm only 5'3" and class myself as lightly active as I only exercise twice a week, and my TDEE is around 1900. Also, the…

I wouldn't like to say to be honest! All I know is what seems to be working for me. If you'd like a comparison, I'm 5'3", currently 151lbs and my net average is about 1600 per day, while eating at my goal weight TDEE of between 1800-1900.

Take TDEE as an average over the week. 1600 x 7 = 11200 per week Assuming 5 workout days at 400 cals burned ( 1800 x 5 ) + ( 1400 x 2 ) = 11800 per week Only 600 cals (approx 100 cals per day) difference, which isn't much overall really and can probably be accounted for by calorie burn estimates being slightly off. Hope…

It doesn't bother me at all. If someone asks, I'm proud to say that I've lost over 2 and a 1/2 stone since January last year :happy:

I'm glad that I've just read the box wrong! I thought it was a slightly mental calorie figure lol

I love Dr Oetker Ristorante pizzas. The chicken one is my favourite, though I like them all really! I think at most it's about 800 cals for a full pizza. The worst one for cals that I found was a Chicago Town Stuffed Crust Takeaway pizza - about 1800 cals per QUARTER! I couldn't believe it when I read that on the box.…
