LOL Ophi :flowerforyou:

I'd assume what this poster meant is that usually protein (and often fat) are minimum amounts you're trying to reach - so it doesn't matter if you go over by a bit unlike with calories where you're trying to hit (or stay slightly under) your goal. ETA: I'm veggie and I've just cracked hitting protein goals (mostly). I use…

Just out of interest - what does "candy" entail?? As in, sweeties, or chocolate?

Bumping this to keep a track on it - considering moving back to more cardio, so this could be a nice way in :)

I used to feel this working a desk job - it makes you ache from being so still for so long! I used to get up every 30 minutes to get a glass of water, it'd take just a minute or two but it would make it hurt less at the end of the day. I'd also stand and work, especially during phone conversations - I don't know what your…

LOL :flowerforyou:

I want your body! :flowerforyou: Lol. Fancy a swap? Mine's not in too bad condition, could do with a couple of repairs ;) And this thread is awesome btw!

^^ this. I've tried so many stupid diets (as in, very very low kcal and impossible to maintain) but they never taught me how to actually EAT properly and be healthy. If you love soup go ahead, but I'd be careful about taking out so many other food groups - what happens when you get sick of soup? Good luck either way though…

This kind of thing I always go for sesame snaps: 144 cals, 8.8g fat. They tend not to break apart too badly and they keep forever - plus they're yummy and crunchy, which makes them feel even more satiating!

Count me in!! I'll be in for 240 minutes/week :) Week # 1 – December 2nd -- Goal 240 minutes: (met goal Wednesday 4/12) *Reset goal: Week # 1 – December 2nd -- Goal 600 minutes: Mon: 66 (walk (2k) +jog (5k)) Tue: 81 (walk (2k) + gym) Wed: 271 (gym session + hike (~10k)) Thur: Rest Fri: Sat: Sun: Total / min left: 418/ 180

:blushing: :love:

Oh, seven things....hmmmm. Cheese Cheese Cheese.... No, but seriously. Cheese (Cheddar if we have to choose, a nice mature one...) Eggs Banana Vanilla pods Bread Fromage frais Chocolate

Just checking to make sure I do this right: no eating back exercise calories and gross intake of 1650 (not net)? Thanks, will keep you updated! :)

Heyhey, bumping as per the "bump in 48 hours" post :)

:heart:

Can I be your friend? ;) :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

Count me in!! I'll be in for 240 minutes/week :)

:) Did it the other day - I'd only been doing it for 3 weeks so didn't take too long to go through and take them all out - was from around 4th November to 25th November.

Looks interesting - bumping to read later

Aha, got you :) I shall rely on your much superior knowledge to help me gauge my activity levels and required calories from it - the maths always leaves me a bit fuzzy tbh!

So, if your BMR, for instance, is 1400 and you set your calorie intake for 1600 assuming this is your TDEE but then work out for 1,000 calories every day (as if, but lets go with it), rather than eating back the excess calories you'd up your calorie intake? Because, you'd assume that that would put you in a huge negative…

Hey Steel, I was going to say - I'll go through and remove all of the quick adds. I've only been doing it for a couple of weeks now, just to try and keep my diary tidy. I used to just leave 300 kcal at the end of the day when I'd exercised. That's another question btw: with TDEE, does it assume a certain calorie burn?…

It's farting in the bed that's the real deal-breaker :bigsmile: Anyway, I am also a chronic procrastinator feel free to join me in my procrastinating OP :laugh:

Bumping to keep this!!

I did this a while ago but completely lost motivation for doing the exercise - I like the feedback I get from my pals and also seeing the numbers increase through the week - hence why I've been quick adding to negate. Something else I meant to say but have completely forgotten. ETA: that's it. Completely irrelevant now I…

Thank you :) I tried to give as much info as possible, if I've missed anything let me know!

And hi Sara :)

Oh really? Ok I'll have a look in the settings and see what I can see :)

You may feel that I am, maybe I am - but surely each of us has our separate goals. Whilst you might want to lose all of the measuring tape, I would like to drop the extra Ibs - not because I'm scared of my weight, but because at 155ibs and 65 inches I am overweight. If I were going from a healthy 130 to a 135 in MUSCLE,…

Taking out a duplicate post :)
