[quote "Net calories" are not your deficit that contributes to weight loss.[/quote] ive been making sure that my net stays in the region of 1300 ish... to ensure a loss. have i been doing this wrong? do i need to look at my total calories do not go over 1300 and not my net??

horrible isnt it. theres no way ive eaten that amount of calories for it to be fat.. so im still holding onto water and i dont know why. i also know this because im up and down throughout the night about 5 times to go to the toilet. last night i slept all the way through... im holding onto it like god knows what

I wear a hrm and it says according to my stats can I can burn about 500 calories give or take. I'm burning that 4 times a week. Yep this week was my totm do its been a struggle I come sedentary and eat half cals back this week on a 1.5lb loss I'll just have to see. I weigh my potatoes raw always. Cus I think it's a grey…

I always weigh 230 grams of potato hun. I log it first then measure it out.

no worries enjoy!

when i forget to plan, i go to subway and have a subway salad.. i bloody love those and for real low cals too

fasting wont make you lose more.. being at a calorie deficit will make you lose. im the same i dont lose and i train with les mill combat 4 times a week. ive put it down t logging inaccuracies and ladies totm for me. i was up 6lbs yesterday hun. im trying not to freak. how many calories are you eating whats your stats?

no idea.. i personally hate totm.. im coming to the end of mine and yesterday i weighed in 6lbs heavier.. yup 6lbs.. blah

But if you work out 5 hours a day aren't you creating a bigger deficit? This is the only thing about losing weight that I don't get. I do body combat 4 times a week and whilst I truly thought it should be dropping off me. I'm hardly losing at all. In fact I gained 1.5 last week

Be thankful of the calories hun you'll miss them as you lose weight that amount will get lower. I use to moan at not having enough cals at 1700 a day. Now mfp gives me 1200 to lose 2lbs and 1400 to lose a 1lb

For me it's mid week totm. I also had a stupidly large bit if birthday cake last night.. not much sodium in it but loads of sugar lol.. I'm tracking my weight via libra although I have a slight feeling I'm not cut out for daily weighing because of my mini meltdown earlier

thank god for this post - i know its old but jesus i needed to read this after my 6.5lbs gain today

Thanks everyone.. Yes I weigh measure everything. I'm eating 1600 calories on tdee minus 25% I'm 31 215lbs and 5 ft7. I swap and change the sessions of combat too. I never keep to the sane session. 1 week I can do body combat 61 the next I can do body combst 65. Each session is different but the basis is the same. Couple…

awesome thanks - the thought of me having to chill out on what i love and replace it with walking terrified me.

it could be water retention from new exercise. it could be your eating more than you realise. do you weigh and measure everything?

i took measurements last nov 15, i took them again last night - with no movement.

1200 not eating back exercise calories? im doing the TDEE method which incorporates exercise calories burnt if i dropped to 1200 i would be netting at about 700-800

@rabbitjb i also wanted to ask whether there was any truth behind what ive been told lately. ive been told to cut down on the les mill body combat as this is too intense. i need to focus on exercises that my heart rate doesn't go past the 130s, so walking for instance as it burns more fat at this levels than say at my…

i always thought a calorie is a calorie - if i deplete eating carbs - then id have to spend the rest of my life doing that.. what i want is a healthy balance of carbs protein fats - its managing that balance lol especially on totm

thats long stint was me leaving sw between sept and christmas..

i managed to pull this off the slimming world website. this is 3 years worth. lots of ups

oh i know this week has been awful. and now i know why.. bloody hormones but if you go view the diary the week before its not as bad. thanks everyone for your advice

brilliant thanks rabbit, ill do that. so you think 1600 calories ( not eating them back) is ok or shall i reduce them by 100 a day?

Yep to all that. Yes I do the recipe first then add it to the builder after weighing. I put on 10lbs whilst in ibiza back in Sept so I worked that off I didn't put in any weight during Christmas and since then floated around the sane couple pounds. I try and see my trend graph but it's not very informative on mfp and happy…

This post is exactly me. I weighed in yesterday to see a 1.5 gain for no reason. Went for a wee bam! Aunt flo had showed her face.. I do body combat 4 times a week. I was well within my calories so it just had to be this that was my gain.. I'm holding out for my whoosh next week lol

Thanks snow flake. X

That's great thanks.. I've been told to knock body combst on the head for a week to see what that does. . But I'm struggling to understand why people would get bigger losses sitting about than say I would doing combat martial arts which I love by the way.. do I stick at it? What's also worrying is that my measurements…

It's so deflating. I do body combat 4 times a week every week. I burn about 500 cals a time according to my hrm. I stay within calories although this week my snack choices have not been the best I lean towards biscuits the week before aunt flows arrival lol. But I can't see why I shouldn't have lost just a little. Why is…

No I weigh in the evenings at a sw class.. so it's the same time every week

the only thing i notice is my hunger level rise and its not an appetite i want to mess with either - biscuits are my thing. i know when it hits its ridiculous.. i wouldnt exercise if i felt tired. it will ease..just wait then start up again.
