Guys if i can stay on track you lot definetly can! all i've eaten extra is 3 squares of galexy chocolate - thats it - and its that time of the month - whats wrong with me lol, whatever it is its good so if i can do it, you lot can!!

mines public, i dont tend to use a lot of branded stuff though, just the supermarkets own brand (they're all the same anyway), or if it isnt there and i cant be bothered putting it in myself i find the closest american option :p

oops i got confused then lol, thought this was the challenge for the 'a new me' group lol :tongue:

I found exactly the same think when i wore my F6 for a day, so i did increase my calories to 1400 and since then i have been losing again (i wasnt losing at 1200) so i would suggest trying it. as for changing it in your diary - if you go to your home page, then click on goal -> change goals ->custom and that should let you…

im in too! gonna start the 'your body your life' exercise plan along with the strictly come dancing dvd and eat aroud 1400-1600cals a day cw: 147.8 goal: 146.5

i love that show! its incredable to see some of the stuff they can do - especially the women!

well, i weighed in this morning, so my SW will be 147.6, so seeing as it is about 11 weeks till valentines my goal weight will be 137lbs

I looked into doing this too! how are you doing it? are you doing the two weeks she outlined, and doing the 'food math' thing? or are you just eating clean?

Count me in too! I'll be aiming for the same goal as you, to be below l30lbs katie xxx

ive calculated my BMR before when i did my nutrition course and it was around 1450 and with lifestylle added it was around 17500

wow! how did you manage that?! :drinker:

thats what always confuses me, when i think of resistance training i think of weights, so when it comes to doing resistance training for my legs at home i have no idea >.<

thank you! i didnt know that about loads of cardio releasing cortisol, this might sound really stupid but would yoga be resistance training? i want to try getting into yoga more

thank you, no i havnt been subtracting the BMR cals - ive never heard of doing that before. :embarassed: i do very little resistance training, when im at uni its nothing as i dont have access to a gym and i never know what to do at home that would be classed as resistance training, its mostly cardio that i do because i…

my HRM - i have the polar F6

that would be great if i could get it tested professionaly, i wouldnt have a clue where to go, it seems in UK with the national health service that if they dont desperatly need to do anything for you they won't ive been eating between 1450 and 1750 for the past couple of weeks (1450 being my BMR and 1750 maintenance)…

exercise wise - when im at home i go to the gym about 3-4times a week and burn around 900cals (eating back at least 1/2 the exercise cals) whilst at uni i walk everywhere, do wii fit, dvd's, exercise plans from magazines and i live up 4flights of stairs which im constantly up and down i went this morning and got some…

I'm 5'3'' and aiming to lose abour 1/2-1lb a week I dont always log everything but i know whether i go over my calories or not, and most of the time im around 50cal over/under, i exercise at least 3x a week also i did go see my doc about it and she just turned me away saying i was getting my womens body (im 21? i also…

thank you for posting this, i too was concerned at the calorie levels and was going to put them into MFP to see what they where I think i will do it - but my own way :p theres some things in the plan i wouldnt eat so what i have done is gone through the two week plan and taken out the food i wouldnt eat and substituted it…

i would say that was doable - i have exactly the same goal :p as long as we stick to exercising and eating well we'll be fine! im a semi twilight fan - i only really like the last 3rd of twilight and im just about to start reading new moon so im hoping thats better!

age: 21.1 'real' age: 26 difference of 4.9

i need to own up to this otherwise i will never hold myself accountable in the past 1 1/2 weeks i ate: 4 cup cakes 4 japanese takeaways 2 1/2 pizzas 2 portions takeaway chips 8 skinny candy bars 6 milky ways 6 mini dairy milk bars 1 chinese takaway 1 burger 1 bag marshmallows 5 small packs of haribo 1 meatball marinara…

so far ive failed at the nutrition aspect of my challenges - ive eaten loads and its all been rubbish but i have kept up my fitness ones just a short update today

anyone else? research is starting on monday (9th)
