I'd love your estimates .... But haven't a clue how to post pics .!!!!!

You are right. My maintenance level is only 1900-2100 anymore than that I gain ... I am also envious of people who can eat loads and not gain ... Spose I could exercise more than I already do so I could eat more but I'm busy .! I do formal exercise 4 times a week ..!! I'm 44 5' and in a British size 12 x

Can I ask .. Do you think eating below maintenance includes calories burned with exercise .... Meaning if I want to eat 200 less a day which would be 1400 less a week that 1400 could include 700-800 I burn with running/HIIT workouts ..??? Or should I eat 1400 and the exercise cals are a bonus .? I don't think they are but…

I also lift at home :-) having weights .. A bench and a squat rack. My neighbours can't see in but my window cleaner will .... Obv not whilst I'm lifting lol :-D I love my little home gym ... I have a treadmill and a bike too ...

Hi all ... You've all done so well ... The pics are amazing ..!! I'm suffering insomnia so I thought I'd post my pic ... The picture on the left is before and the right is after ... It's taking me longer to recomp ... Been at weight lifting since January ... And my weights aren't huge and increasingly weights takes along…

Ok if heybales advocates this chart and you do Rach then I'm average :-) happy ... But I could be happier and be in ideal bracket :-) thanks heybales and Rach x

Holly ..... Your blooming brilliant :-) you're an inspiration :-) you're always on the go ..!! Don know how where you find your energy from :-) Lots of love xxx

I agree with HIITme .... I know you're supposed to increase every session but I just couldn't do it ... No way ..!!! I was failing ... I got to squatting 105lbs and was stick fir a month .... And due to a bad back I have deloaded to 90lbs ..!! Helloitsdan told me to increase weekly ... But I shall see how it goes and…

I assume that you would eat all your exercise calories back ... But I lift weights so wouldn't know how many to eat back of those ..!! With my weight I'm the same as the example above ... No way I could eat that low ...! I eat 1800+ ..! And I'm still hungry lol I do 90 mins cardio a week and 90 mins of lifting per week .!…

I do drive a lot as my girls are backwards and forwards to dancing after school mos nights .,!!! I obviously move more at work .. I do 23 hours a week ... But on days off from work or cardio workouts I do regular stuff like housework and shopping cooking and baking etc ... Don't sit on my bum .,!! So. Can never understand…

I have an under active thyroid . I try to forget I have it lol ... I'm well medicated tho x My fitbit tdee sedentary day only ever reads 1600 odd ..!! Very low ...!! Going on the principle if bmr x 1.35 my tdee is 1833 .. That's 200 cal difference ..!! I do my tdee as a weekly average as some days are 2100-2200 but not…

Can I ask how much the fat analysis thing was at the Nuffield ..??

Oh I read quite a few times about people getting to the end of the 12 weeks .!! So glad I can carry on ???? I'm enjoying it and want to carry on until in Maxed out :-) Thanks for your replies guys :-)

Wish mine would reduce in size ..!! As I went down a back size I had to go up a cup size ... Currently a British 34F......

Wow ... Thanks for this post ... I'm very discouraged at the moment ..!!

Ok I'm in UK .... I may look up dieticians in the area. I'm a hospital nurse ... Wonder about them .. But I don't suppose they have the equiptment .! And I'm not a member if a gym ... I have my own little home gym with weight rack abd bench and a treadmill :-) I have a thyroid disorder ... But well medicated according to…

Is it a lot of money .??

How and where do you get your RMR checked ..?? X

Weighed and measured this morning ... After a wee and before eating or drinking .. Which is what I always do .... Scales are exactly the same 142lb... But I'm out if the whole scales thing so I'm not that bothered ... However I'm a bit bothered that my waist is still 30inches ..!!! Hasn't moved a jot ..!!! But I did my…

:-) I reiterate Everything I said in private message x

I know this isn't helpful but I know exactly how you feel ... I cut after 4 weeks coz I couldnt take it anymore ..!! However ... Some days especially this week I have gone up to TDEE :-( Some days at 10% cut. I haven't weighed or measured. Time will tell ... I just would be happy to lose 7 lbs or go down to a UK Size 10…
