6'5'' and I want to be 205lb with a body fat % less than 20%. 10lb and 4% to go :bigsmile:

A) Sodium B) Not recording calories consumed correctly C) Not recording calories burned correctly D) Not eating enough My betting would be D with possibly B or C thrown in. According to the numbers you provided you should be eating about 2300-2500 calories per day if you want to LOSE :wink: 1lb per week. Can't see your…

Freezing cold all the time Ring had to be re-sized because it just kept flying off All my old clothes are too big. I bought a few 'interim' clothes but now they're too big. I'm still dressed like a clown at work My shoes are loose Loving every minute of it :bigsmile:

Amazon has a lot of stuff. My wife just bought the 30 Day Shred and Insanity workouts.

I thought the idea was to just go back and do it again, only increase the weights and difficulty/intensity level?

Weird, what do you think MFP is?

Looking at your Diary, I would say it's probably D :ohwell:

A) Sodium B) Not recording calories consumed correctly C) Not recording calories burned correctly D) Not eating enough Cant see your diary to confirm, but it's almost guaranteed to be one of the above :smokin:

40% / 20% / 40%

It's going to vary by person. It also depends how much potassium you've taken in that day too as this can offset the sodium. If I go over my sodium by 500mg-1000mg, then I can see up to 2 or 3 pounds extra the next day. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Yes I do, but with a MAJOR proviso. I go by the principal that the calories burned numbers in MFP are usually too high. The exercise that I record is always underestimated. For instance if I do an hour of laps in the pool, I record it as "Swimming, Leisurely, General" If I walk for an hour and 10 mins at 3.5mph, then it…

Mine's open :)

1) When you start any sort of physical activity, your body adapts. It moves fat deposits around to be closer to the areas where it is needed. (closer to the muscles) Also, you may be losing some fat, but you might be adding some water. This can offset any early weight loss. 2) Yes, the fat layer is probably slightly…

Unfortunately, you WILL lose LBM when you are in a calorie deficit. You can certainly mitigate the amount lost by weight training and increasing protein etc etc. you will not stop the loss completely though.

There's not that much choice, so if you find one, they are pretty much all the same. They neutralise the chlorine etc etc. I only use it after the swim. Rest of the time I use my usual shampoo/conditioner. (Head and Shoulders and Aussie 3 min Miracle) Swimming costumes are eaten away by the chemicals in the pool. You can…

When you restrict calories you lose fat and muscle. You can minimise the muscle lost by weight/strength training. You can't really stop it entirely. When you start strength training, for the first time in years (or ever), you will build a small amount of muscle, you will also retain some water, but this will flush out…

It's impossible to lick your own elbow (the outside bit) :smokin: /Sits back and watches people try

My wife and I take our daughter hiking at the weekends. It's a great time and I just log the walk at whatever speed we make. With a 7 year old, we're not going to break any speed records, but I would rather do this with her than on my own any day of the week.

if you put on weight, eat less, if you lose weight eat more You want to find that spot where you stay the same. Might take a bit of trial and error :drinker:
