I started this week! Can't say I'm loving it yet but I'm determined to do it. Good luck guys...

Rivita crisp bread loaded with tuna mixed with 1 tablespoon of extra light mayo, diced pepper, cucumber, and a handful of cress! Loaded full of protein and only about 150 calories.

I've started using a 12kg kettlebell and it's been the best thing I've ever done!

My friend did Turbo Fire which was working out every day with rest only on a Wednesday!

Try throwing some weights into your exercise schedule... then you'll be hungry and will want to eat more! (said from experience!)

THIS... and me too, looooooovvvee cheese!

I eat some of them back but not all. When I go to the gym and do weights, which I calculated with a heart monitor (179 calories burned for approximately 30 minutes of constant lifting) coupled with 30 minute HIIT workout (approx. 269 calories) I eat half of them back by having a protein shake after my session. This is all…

This...

It may be that you're not eating enough...

In for 2 steps and out for 4 but if I'm running faster it seems to go to 2 steps in and 5 steps out.

Actually, I'd do weights first, then cardio. Calories burn from the second you lift, whereas cardio takes about 15 minutes for your body to realise what you're doing! No only that, but calories continue to burn for up to 36 hours later. Do weights first, and I mean the kind where the first set of 10 is ok, the second set,…

THIS... THIS... and... THIS!!!!!

THIS!

Hiya, my mate has a heart monitor and connected calorie watch and she burns about 650 calories in an hour of Zumba. However, she works very hard all through the hour, puts everything into each move, digs deep, and really does perform every move to the best of her strength and ability.

THIS!

What do you hope to get out of the strength training? Weight loss? build muscle? Get stronger?

As I understand it, and correct me if I'm wrong, but interval training requires the anaerobic and aerobic systems to work in harmony with each other to increase stamina?

Like I say this is my own personal experience. That 5k run was last September. I've since done a number of 10ks in between 46 and 60 minutes (depending how bored I get) and I'll be doing a HM in July. I'm already running 10 miles in approximately 1 hour 40. All the training has been done in the gym on the treadmill…

Running a marathon, in my opinion, is all about stamina... and for that (again just my opinion) you can't beat interval training. Did interval training 3 times a week for a month, having not run EVER and did a 5k run in half an hour! Just my experience but wanted to share it.

Thank you... :-)

Not sure about you but I do strength training to boost my calorie burn. What? I can hear you say... but hear me out. Unlike cardio, strength training enables you to burn calories even when you've stopped doing it! It can even carry on to the following day. I do 3 lots of 10 including arm curls and bench presses, and I try…

If you're heart rate isn't elevated, it isn't exercise!

I think half an hour a day is enough. After all it's more than what you are doing now?? Could you couple that with a session or 2 at the weekend?

Run, run, and run some more. The weeks I run I find I lose 2ish pound and that's really with not taking any notice of MFP. I know it's hard if you haven't done it before but build up gradually. After a couple of weeks you should be able to run for 5 minutes comfortably. Try and do 1 minute walk, 1 minute run, for half…

I started on 1200 calories. I was hungry sticking to that for the first 2 weeks until my body accostomed itself to the new regime. However, if I was hungry, I mean actually really physically hungry, and not just bored, I would eat. But it's all about the choices you make. When I had hit my 1200 calories and if I was…

Here here.... well said that man! :wink:

I started on the 28th June but I reached my goal on the 13th October!

Excellent work... and Merry Christmas by the way xxx

MFP has already created the deficit for you so earning calories by exercising can be eaten back but I wouldn't advise eating them if you're not hungry or at least peckish - what would be the point as you'd be eating for the sake of it. On the days I exercise I usually have something a little more calorific than normal or…

Bread is just a filler. There's nothing in it that your body can use really. It blocks me up. If I have pizza, even the low calorie ones, I can't poo for days! I try to limit my bread intake to 2 rounds a day (if that) and I try to eat brown as it comes out a little quicker.
