Similar issues here. Lost 4st put back on 1.5st due to injury etc etc but you should focus on the positive which is the net loss. All those xmas offers on chocolate at Tesco didnt help much either ;)

Hi I'm no medical expert but do disagree with ms pudding about the metabolism slowing down especially if you are exercising.. When I started off on mfp I was eating the same as you around 1200-1500 a day but was netting down to 800-900 a day. I did this initially for about 8 weeks but the key was being regimental about…

If you want to get a more accurate calorie used figure I'd recommend getting a heart rate monitor to wear during exercise. It's much more effective than relying on mfp figures.

No idea how good a fitbit is but can vouch for the polar HRM's.. I had at old F6 which has just been replaced by an RCX5 which I use for pretty much whatever exercise I do and in combination with the polar website allows me to keep track of what I'm doing over a period of time. Ideally if you are getting a HRM try to get…

Running on a treadmill allows you to regulate your pace much better and you can build up on this steadily over the weeks. I personally though prefer cycling and started doing 3-4 miles a day and now am doing 15-20 miles with a once a week ride of around 35-40 miles. Most importantly think of your end goal and don't worry…
