Hmm, had v old magazine diet from about 20yrs ago that cycled your calories up and down through the mnth, so 1500 wk before, and down to 800 after 1st day of period. These figures seem low to me, but working with your body instead of against it seems good advice. I find it's my macro's that change ( carbs gimme carbs!),…

I am the same height and started out at 238lb, after a few weeks at 1400, I upped it slowly to the current level of 1600 cals, I have lost every week on this, 1lb some weeks 2 or 3 others and I find it very doable. I am exercising and only eating a little of those cals back, I prefer this way as I can up my exercise as my…

I'm definately in , sw238 cw209 christmas goal 189

Waves hello, I'm in west Yorks, feel free to add me

great job, amazing difference in the pictures

I enter breastfeeding under snacks, so I can make sure I eat back the calories , especially the calcium and protein. I am finding the 200 cal allowance for older babies to be about right for a toddler, but don't know about the exclusive figures. I noticed on a friends profile the figure seems to be based on 8 feeds a day…

hmm, some of my recipes are directly from books and I could not share them without breaching copywrite

What the man above said, I just log the speed and figure the underestimate balances out with the other overestimates

this is so the right place to drumroll the is a new series of Red Dwarf coming soon, but they don't say when

Hi, I lost weight in the first 6mnths with both my boys breastfeeding, put it back on weaning! . Am still feeding my 2yr old and it's still giving me an extra 200 kcals a day. I also like Kellymom, breastfeedoing is not as delicate a mechanism as people would have you think, after all we've only had formula for a fraction…

I found an online calculator where you input your weight as well and it comes out about right for me ( on walking anyway) BUT and it is a big but I weigh 218lb at the moment. I use the MFP figures for now, but I usually have a buggy/backpack or small child as extra load which I don't count. I am very wary of how high the…

I have 2 under 5 and finding time is hard, so I do stuff when I can. 2 year old asked if I was being a chicken the other day though, you can do some toning when they are in the bath , if your bathroom is big enough

Have you looked into yeast overgrowth as a cause of weight problems, Erica White has a very good cookbook, but basically if you think that could be a cause, you need to avoid all sugars and yeast. I only mention this because of the black mould and food intolerances. I know people that have been very sucessful doing this…

I had this happen , I checked out my stats on the scooby calculator linked above and then fiddled with the settings on my goals until I got a number I can manage on easily. Upped my calories slightly to 1550, and this site says I should lose 1.5lb a week, so I fiqure if I don't eat all my excercise calories back , aiming…

I walk, mainly because I have small children and I can walk with them, pushing a pram. I've noticed a difference this week walking uphill, hint if a road has gyll in it's name it is not flat, to drop my oldest off at a playscheme it has definately had a bigger effect on my bum. When he starts schoolI am going to try and…

welcome back I found this site after putting back on the 3st I lost 2 yrs ago, hears to ending the yo yo and running round after small boys ( I have to get fit mine are getting faster). Fr sent

22/7's is more elegant and easier to use when crochetting hats, did I mention you can crochet a hyperbolic equation and make a coral. Nerd with hook who got very excited that I could download Darwin for free on my kindle. Oh and Holly has to be a boy

my goal weight is pretty much a guess, I'm gonna reassess b cjothes size and measurements . You need to decide what sits you

I'm gonna work it out when I get to 175lb, which is a way aways. It is going to depend on my lean body mass and bf rather than the scale and at the moment online calculations give me btwn 122 and 100lbs of lean body mass, so realisticly I will be aiming for 150+

I think mine got 2.6hrs every day this week, but we are very lucky to live in a town with moors, woods, and a riverside park within 20minutes walk. Having said that my neighbour shoots out of his drive at 3.20 to pick the kids up from school, a journey of less than 0.25 miles, which must cost him loads over the year.…

I'm here for the next couple of yrs, lot to lose andthen probably even more importantly I need to learn how to maintain. Feel free to add me

If you live in North/north west Booths supermarket stocks quite a lot of venison, the quality of their meat is pretty good and they often run the 5 for £15 offer. Thier butchers are pretty helpful too

you're not alone, though not so much babywearing now , at 2 and 4 . Have you read "My Mother Wears Combat Boots" excellent . My 4 year old has never asked for anything off an advert since he asked why we don't buy growing up milk for his brother and I explained in great detail about marketing ploys and advertisers trying…

What is this creamer you speak of, must be a US thing. French press, freshly ground and a little semi skimmed milk, better with full fat milk, but that is to creamy for my tea

Hi, the only things I could pick out from your diary were that you might be mismeasuring fats ( not sure that is an actual word) one tablespoon is 3teaspoons , and the difference for me measuring on a normal spoon instead of a measuring one I can level off accurately is quite a lot. Also are you overestimating your…

I did slimming world a while ago were a lot of food is regarded as free, but the restrictions on other food made up for it , ie only 28g of any cereal, but muller light yoghurts were free. There was a lot of redundancy built into the system, and the grp seemed split into those with consistant losses or maintaining goal and…

I get you with the avoiding munchies I feel the same way about crochet and my beloved has given up smoking so more painting going on here too. We have a pact going to improve our health and keep up with the two monkeys on my avatar

I think your right about the one source and stick with it. Hijacking my own thread, cool figures are they Malafoy ( my beloved is a war gamer)

I am trying to eat higher protein carbs, so lentils, oatmeal, quinoa every little helps

Thanks, I swopped my macros round after wk1 and noticing that low fat high carb days left me feeling ugh and struggling more with sticking to plan. Am now 40, 30, 30
