I am here too, add me. I am in Akl.

Sure felt like something was burning! Thanks.

Cheers mate, that's what I figure too

Yup, I am from NZ and live in Auckland. Add me if ya like!

Well thank god I am not the only one! I have been at the gym every day mostly and wine normally fits into my cal allocation. I live in New Zealand and our wine is amazing so it would be un patriotic not to indulge on occasion I figure.

Yup add me! I log daily and need to lose 50lbs

My daily intake is 1500 and I reckon I dont burn as much as the machines say so only eat some back. Yup ryvita and hummus is a regular snack for me. I get hungrier all day tho!

:smile:

Wow! Thank you all for your feed back! Good stuff indeed.

Yup, totally makes sense, great way to hold yourself to it, I admire your discipline!

Love the edit! I too am a cheese lover from way back. I have added wine to the list of loves in recent years too..

Thanks! Good stuff.

Great stuff! Thank you

Love all the replies,everyone is soo different huh, great when you find what works, seems I have not as yet.....

Fair enough, is 1500 what MFP gives ya? This is my 2nd day back using MFP. I am only eating 1500 calories a day and not exercising for the first month. I want to establish good healthy eating habits and a pattern before I start trying to exercise and then get overwhelmed with all the changes and quit. One day at a time.…

Brilliant! Thank you soo much for sharing. Sounds like a pretty solid plan and great its working for you.

Thanks for the input. I had a a couple of weeks there where I made some pretty bad food choices but I generally cook at home. I had tried the higher calorie thing to experiment with my body as eating 1200 cals before had not worked for me at all. I have not been logging all of my veges whilst on the higher calorie kick but…

Agree, doing it from now.

Got ya, yep just went back in and changed my settings to what the site suggests, here goes!

Thank you, I reckon you are bang on. I am going to go into settings and enter info now. I love going to the gym so will keep doing that. Thanks again.

Yeah but i would miss my wine too much!

? I go to the gym 5 -6 times a week for an hr.

Sure could be worth a go. quote] Maybe track sodium and sugar in your diet they seem to be quite high? [/quote]

Thanks all I just cant figure out where I should set my cals too now. I burn around 300 cals per workout so not heaps. I go by what the machine says then assume around 100 cals for strength training.

Been counting the many glasses... but like I said my cals have been around 1900 I just am starting to think its too many

Around 1.5 litres a day

[Nope no inches, not even a cm! quote] Hi Hun just a thought but have you measured yourself? You maybe losing inches with all that exercise also are you eating bk your calories? Xcx [/quote]

I have been eating this way for a month and gained 2 kg..... I felt like giving up too but am going to give it another month to see if its just my body adapting.... I have lost no inches and feel bigger than ever! But....... hang in there according to all accounts this can take a while..

I am in my fifth week and up 2 kg's ! No inches lost yet............
