Broken scale is all I can think...

Using your own reasoning and equation and substituting gives: 50 ml/kg/min * 210 KG / 1000 ml/liter * 5 calories/liter= 52.5 calories/ minute Over 30 minutes that gets to 1500 calories. Let's substitute for poor VO2max of 40 ml/kg/min... 40 * 210 /1000 * 5 = 42 cals / min That's 1260 calories...

Urgh...

I generally hate salad, but a salad like that I could DEFINITELY eat. I really, really want to try that now.

Looking through your diary, most days end up in the 1000 to 1200 calorie range. How long have you been doing this for? You may need to look at getting your metabolism to fire up rather than forcing it to slow down. Also, do you take measurements and do you track body fat? It may very well be that you don't have that much…

Why? How excessive is your sodium intake that you are so worried about it? How much is "too much"????

Urgh, the only thing I remember from doing low carb was not going for a pooh the entire time. It was weird that I was losing the weight, but not in the way... Never want to be that constipated again.

Probably the intensity matters the most. What most of the responders here keep ignoring, is that you are a fairly big guy (no offence intended!), the examples cited are for people weighing 65 or 70kg, not 190kg. That's a BIG difference and your body luckily, burns a lot more calories than someone much smaller. Your heart…

1200 calories seem a bit low based on what I know about you (had to stalk you out a little bit to see what your stats are). The only thing I don't know is how tall you are. But, even if you are only 4 foot tall, your BMR is 1850 calories, which gives you a TDEE of at least 2200 calories. This does seem like a severe cut in…

I weigh myself once a day just after getting up in the morning. I only log Mondays on here, but I log daily in an Android app called Libra which helps me track my weight trend (the trend is based on your weight from the last 7 days and quite accurately predict whether you are still losing weight or gaining weight, so it's…

It "sounds" about right, but one really important figure you didn't give, is what your current weight is. Check you BFP too, to make sure you have some to lose. Also, consider doing the weight loss a bit slower and up your calories slightly. Don't try and rush it, once you get started, it's going to take some time either…

You seem to be fairly close to your goal and your daily calorie goal is still so incredibly low? Have you considered that maybe it isn't an obsession because you are eating clean, but maybe just because you are hungry? Also, have you checked your BFP to make sure that your goal is reachable? I recently increased my…

That sounds just about right!! Good luck, it seems like you are getting the hang of it!!

I plan it properly into my meals now - usually leftovers from the night before, form part of lunch for tomorrow. It makes things easier for me, because I know in the morning already how big my lunch will be, so could adjust my breakfast accordingly.

Based on how long is this? I looked through your diary and you log for a few days on and then not, then you log, then you don't. What results are you expecting from not tracking your food? Weight-loss isn't overnight, it takes dedication and consistency. You need to stick to this for a month solid and then see whether or…

Well that solves that one then. If alcohol didn't have calories in, I wouldn't be here right now.

Absolutely amazing!!! Congrats and well done, you look great.

If I look at it and imagine it's ice cream, it looks delicious. Can't imagine why a butcher would sell it like that? From what I read, it's all used in processed meats and stuff. I watched a program on how they make ham the other day and it's quite interesting!! There's probably a lot of food processing that would make…

My dad had his thyroid removed and he didn't put on significant amounts of weight. This was about 10-15 years ago?

Only if you have significant fat stores. Your body can only burn so much at a time and as the amount of body fat decreases, so does the amount of fat that your body can burn at once, hence the need to "top up" with other sources of energy. If you don't "top-up" enough, your body starts eating away at muscle which is REALLY…

Are you for real complaining about this? I just checked your diary for August, and for at least 15 days, you ate less than 1300 calories (you BMR is 1787!!!!!!!!!!!!!). And then there are a few binges in there a few days where you logged nothing. How do you calculate an average with nothing? The madness continues…

People tend to want instant results. Low cal diets give an instant result, albeit not long-lasting. Without knowing the impact of our actions, most people I know would rather see really good and fast results on the scale and "have it over" really quickly where they can "go back to normality". Who wants to go slow for…

You should try her diet then Jenny Taylia.

You are doing something BIG wrong then. If your TDEE is 2994 and you used the same data in MFP, then MFP should have given you 1994 calories to lose 2 pounds a week (that's the max setting), so somewhere you did something wrong (conversion maybe?). Your BMR is somewhere around 1500, which should put your TDEE somewhere…

You can't equate WW points to calories, because of the free fruit and veg.

That is a bit of an exaggeration. 1. The outcome of the person "rage-quitting" because they gained all this muscle in the process of all this exercise they are doing is a billion times better than the person "rage-quitting" after spending months conditioning their body to get used to excessively low calories with some…

I shouldn't browse these forums while eating my lunch....:sick:

So you have gone from wheat allergy, to gluten intolerance to Celiac disease. But you don't know what you have. You were moaning on here because your husband doesn't support your diet and I was merely pointing out that it's because you are not taking it seriously. Even on here you say that you think you may have it, but…

I've lost all my weight without drinking much water. Most days I have one or two glasses of water - rarely more.

1. You are not even classified as obese, merely overweight. 2. Get a second opinion 3. When you get the second opinion, make sure that you mention what the other doctor told you. 4. Report this doctor which gave you this dangerous advice. A doctor giving nutritional advice is a bit like an accountant advising on law. Yes,…
