I've just used the recipe builder for the first time in a while - what have they done to it????? That was the most horrendous experience I have ever had - couldn't find any of the foods I wanted (on PC), when I searched for items it brought up everything with the word in it (not good when looking for raw), I put in yellow…

I have a polar FT7 - never had any problems with it, easy to use, doesn't have GPS but I have my iPhone for that bit when I am outside. It links up with the machines in my gym automatically without me having to do anything at all and it is pretty and red :-)

Hi, no I asked for help - just didn't see the requests for info, here it is as I am not ashamed of any of them :-) - 5" 4' inches tall, 46 years old, current weight 170lbs - goal weight 140 lbs. Joined MFP in Feb last year - lost 13lbs between then and August and then it stopped. Eventually got fed up with not losing so…

Yay menopause another one to look forward to!!!! ;-D

yup definitely sweaty and out of breath!!! Not an attractive creature when I exercise ;-)

nope 4 pastrami is 72 cals - checked against the packet - that's why I like it high protein low cals I don't always use a full stock cube and most things I make I only have a portion of so by the time you get to 1/5th of a stock cube the sodium is minimal. I do check some things that the database has because some of them…

Hi, up until two weeks ago I went to the gym twice a week and did lots of walking on other days and had been doing pretty consistently since the middle of last year. This stopped when one of my pets got sick and I basically had to come straight home from work to care for him. As of last week he was well enough that I could…

Thanks for this - so how does this lie with eating or not eating back exercise calories? Recommendation is to eat them back but then I will be back to minimal deficit so should I not eat them back? I am quite happy to exercise more as I do enjoy it but then if I also have to eat those calories when I am struggling to eat…

I cannot say enough as this does seem to be being missed a lot - I weigh and measure everything I eat and drink - my nutritionist said not to count calories but i can't do that - it was her recommendation that I have chosen not to follow. I am not guessing my food intake what I log is exactly what I eat therefore I know…

Recommended daily cal intake for women is 2000 cals - so I am already at a deficit based on that - I am at 1550 a day and as pointed out by another person I am actually not hitting that most days and missing by up to 300 cals so that takes me down to around 1200 a day - this has to be a deficit because eating less than…

Fitness frog TDEE is 1752 for little or no exercise and 2005 for exercise 1-3 times a week. My scales currently have my TDEE at 1680 so they are not a million miles off as they are set for not very active. My BMR is 1384 my scales don't have that reading on them So my body needs at least 1752 cals a day to function - is…
-
My TDEE is worked out by my bathroom scales that are set up by my age, height and activity level. My exercise calories are worked out via a HRM or Endomondo when I walk ( and I have worn my HRM and used Endomondo at the same time to check the cals are accurate) I never use the MFP cals for any exercise. I do not log…

Thanks - will try to eat closer to my calorie goal this week - but sometimes I'm just not hungry/full up and I can't eat for the sake of eating. I am patient but sometimes it's just completely beyond me how I don't lose even when I am being good.
-
LOL I know everyone is different :-) and what works for one person may not work for another
-
Exactly - so if I have a deficit why don't I lose??????
-
Hi, my TDEE is over 1600 calories but I stick to 1550 cals a day - I am set for lightly active in my profile - I work in an office but I usually move around a lot - have worn a pedometer to work on a number of occasions and usually cover more than 2 miles a day walking round office. I do a lot of walking - if I can walk I…

She didn't give me an eating plan but suggested I cut down on refined sugar and caffeine intake gradually and try to follow a low GL plan. She suggested upping my protein because at the time I saw her my protein intake had gone down to approx 40 - 60 g a day. I have followed all the advice she gave me -protein for most…

Hi, I eat veg with most meals - my soup for lunch is full of veg but it is a recipe so you can't see the content but it has celery, carrot, beans and spinach in it- if it definitely more veg than lentil and chicken. I eat at least two meals a week with fish - tuna and haddock and these are also then loaded with vegetables…
-
I am counting what I eat - my nutritionist told me not to but I can't do that - I have to know - everything I eat is weighed, measured and logged and I am sticking to 1550 a day as per my diary.
-
Hi, thanks for you comment but my nutritionist told me not to count but I can't quite do that yet so whilst not "counting" I am staying within my deficit - 1550 a day which is a 450 daily deficit which should be enough to lose at least a pound a week and whilst exercise helps it is not specifically required to lose weight…
