  • I totally know how you feel, but by now I don't care anymore- I figure, hey I'm exercising, what are YOU doing with your life? grow up! Also something else that I find helps me, is to buy a heap of shirts with stuff written on them. e.g. one says 'drop the bass', another has a pinata on it with the captions 'i'd hit that',…

  • I'd count it as 'incidental movement'. It's not worth logging. Just consider it a bonus :)

Or perhaps, if you are down on your calorie goal by that much (500+ calories), perhaps your body has gone into starvation mode and is hoarding because it's stressed? Otherwise, if you have been exercising, you may…

  • Yes. If you have a trusted GP, go see them, they might have a recommended dietitian or be able to give you a referral if required. Ultimately seeing a dietitian and maybe even a nutritional psychologist is what you need to do :)

    in MFP exercise calorie estimator? Comment by JessicaBlackman July 2014
  • Hi guys, thanks for all the advice and reassurance. I personally am not hugely worried about the period as I have spotted in the past.

  • Try sugar-free jelly. You get it in the same place as the regular aeroplane jelly. It tastes amazing, and has next to nothing in it- but it makes you feel full and definitely satisfies the sugar craving late at night, which I also experience. Give it a whirl, I guarantee it'll help and keep those calories down :)
