I had to up my calories to lose weight after i'd lost the initial few punds. And it worked. Check out the aufio clips on this page, It explains it really well. http://www.fat2fitradio.com/ 1200 is too low for anyone. Fad diets will put you on restricted calories as they know you will lose the initial weight fast, and be…

Well, I would say yes. You should at LEAST eat your BMR. Google TDEE and you can easily find a TDEE calculator - here is one I use.. http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html Once you know your TDEE you should eat say between 500 - 800 cals less. So more than your BMR less than your TDEE, making sure you…

Ahhh sodium...i.e. salt? Interesting. I'm the girl who will go for salted popcorn over sugar popcorn as, really how many calories are in salt. I've never looked to be honest, but maybe thats where I'm going wrong. Don't get me wrong I'm not a salt junkie, but I see salt as something that affects blood pressure, not weight,…

Thannks for that! very helpful - And yes I will give it time :yawn: I checked out the the group - not that heavy girls - and have reposted there also. Cheers, and well done on your progress! its amazing.

Do you eat those exercise calories back or are you fixed on 1,650 per day?

You need to up your calories. There is loads of discussions on this forum with regards to this. In a nutshell you need to eat above your BMR (Find out your BMR in the tools) The sedentary setting for MFP is misleading. You are far from Sedentary. I suggest as you are under eating (eating under your BMR) your body has…

I was looking into the same thing today as i'm cutting back on carbs and seem to be constipated! I can suggest pearl barley, oats - (porridge), prunes, figs, vegtables, fruit (Pears, apples and banana), lentils and pulses. :)

Hello....I really think your body is happy where it's at and is trying to maintain...125lb!!!??? Wow!! i'm 5ft 5 and want to get to 140lb...well, maybe 135...but I'd be very tiny at 135lb. 125? thats really tiny. Well done! you're a success story! the fact that you can maintain that is amazing...(well when you're not…

Are you eating your calories back after exercise on 1,400 / 500 calories a day? Well done by the way. :-)

I love the Nike + App. You can use it on the iphone, but also you can get loads of support from their website. The App is a one off payment - about £4, but it tracks everything, distance, pace, time, calories burned. I've used it for organised runs such as 5Ks 10Ks and half marathons and the miliage always matches with the…

Thanks! :) Explains alot! :)

You need to eat more!

You save loads of calories by just having protien and veg for your evening meal. So chicken and Veg or steak and veg etc...or even just having a nice soup. Try just eating fruit for breakfast and make lunch your main meal - make it rice based, not wheat, potato or bread. They are full of calories. (Snack on fat free…

You should Net 1,200. Some people eat all of their calories back after exercise, but many only eat back half the calories burned, but try to never net less that 1000.

I use to think you needed to eat bfore doing a run..you don't really, more likely to get a stitch if you do...most half marathons...13.1 miles are in the morning, and I do these on a single banana..making sure i've had a carb heavy dinner the night before. Your body should have more than enough fuel to carry you through a…

I have been questioning this myself, I’ve tried both…not eating my calories back and eating my calories back. I am settling for a happy medium of eating half the calories back. I’m doing this as I do want to net 1,200 but I also think MFP over estimates the calories burned during exercise. If you don’t want to eat after…

Check out the maxitone range...It has great reviews, and is a market leading product, which is research proven..so they say. I've just got the starter pack for the sculptress range. www.maxitone.com

1 lb of fat or 1 lb of muscle both weigh the same. 1 lb of popcorn weighs the same as 1 lb of fat. A pound is a pound. Its like a trick triva question...what weighs more 3 tons of bricks or 3 tons of feathers. They both weigh the same. :ohwell:
