  • Thanks :smile: It does seem to be working for me so far but as I've only been doing it a couple of months I was wondering if I might be missing something more important in the long run. Thanks for the encouragement!

  • bump. i'm in a similar place - i'd like a HRM or something to measure calories but I can't afford the popular ones. Do the cheaper ones work?

  • I know this was posted a long time ago but I was just about to post asking about high vs low intensity cardio and just thought I'd do a little search on the subject before I posted a whole new thread and I found this. I was concerned that I prefer more moderate intensity excersize to HIIT because I find I burn more…
    in The skinny on HIIT v LISS (low intensity steady state) cardi Comment by Tari_D March 2012
  • Bump! I am very interested in this as I still have even more than the OP to lose and I mostly do cardio because that gives me a high calory burn and controlling calories in vs calories out is my current strategy for weightloss. I do a little bit of strength training at the moment but that is more for overall fitness and I…

  • Bump. I'd like thoughts on this too. I have a cold at the moment (so not quite so bad as you) so I'm thinking my normal football at 9pm in the freezing cold isn't the best plab for a speedy recovery. I really don't want to miss out on all excersize for the evening though and would like some illness friendly excersize…

  • It depends what I am doing but yes I often log mine in advance so i can see what I have left of snacks. or in the case of today i can see how much excersize I need to do for the Dominoes Pizza my partner wants to have tonight for Valentines Day!

  • i'm 22 and i'm aiming to lose about 65llb. It's reasuring to know so many people are in the same sort of place and that we can all help each other.

  • Frankie and Benny's has a special section on it's menu of low calorie options including yummy chocolate pancakes which are 200 calories I think. I'd definately recommend there.

  • Thanks for the advice Neanderthin, I suppose I should stop being so impatient and really I want to make this a long term health adjustment rather than a speedy diet. I just don't want to just be upping my calories because secretly i think it would just be easier and then end up not losing the weight I could be.
    in BMR, TDEE etc - what should my calories be? Comment by Tari_D February 2012
  • That's a great idea! When I go to the gym and there's no one there I stick BBT on - it keeps me distracted while my legs are burning away at the cycling machine!
    in Big Bang Theory Challenge Comment by Tari_D February 2012
  • I guess I will just have to keep at it. It will be great once it becomes more routine and I know more by instinct. @smantha32 That's my problem really - keeping it off. I worry that that means dieting for ever just to stay the same weight! But I guess when you are just maintaining by then the healthiness will be more of a…
    in Avoiding Obsession Comment by Tari_D February 2012
  • Thanks for the advice everyone :) I do want it to be about being healthier as well. I am enjoying doing more excersize and as I'm generally just eating those calories back it's more about raising my activity level than burning calories. It's just difficult not to feel bad for or worry about going over. I'm just so…

  • Apologies if this a really stupid question (perhaps lack of calories has damaged my brain!) Does what i've done the last couple of days fall into this danger zone?: On wednesday I ate too much over by about 1000calories! So yesterday I spent ages in the gym and burnt 1000 in excersize. Because I ate normally though on the…

  • I started off with a goal to lose 1lb a week and my daily calorie goal was set to 1600 not including any gained through excersize. I still managed to lose about 1.5 - 2lb a week this way so I think it might be ok. I'm trying for a bit less now but only because I'm impatient and have a lot to lose. You probably still…
