Nice!!

Im up for this! If I eat a single piece, I fail and eat everything in sight!! A month away to help settle the cravings should do nicely!

Heya, sorry to highjack your post. I dont know if I need to necessarily reset my meta, but just in case I would like to know how much I burn just doing my work at school (teacher), I want to confirm the method. So to get it straight: I do my everyday normal stuff (not extra gym stuff). I eat my BMR for 2 weeks, see if…

Heya, I had bad sciatica since my knee operation. Running was all good, but normal walking was sooo painful. My sister then recommended I see a chiropractor, I did. I never felt such relief! Apparently, for me, when I had my knee operation, I started favoring one side, that made my hips twist inorder to hold my body weight…

OK then, I suppose I will have to expect a few kg weight increases. Well before wasnt working, so its time to start again and change for life. I shall keep this area updated. Thanks for the help!!

Yeah what I meant was that when I had a 1200 base I added my exercise calories (which were about 200 - 350 cals all together everyday (Running 8.5-10km/h up and down 15-20 mins with HRM 150/ Bike 95-100 RPM from level 8 to 10 up and downs 120 plus weights 30 mins mid to heavy doing 6-8 different exercises 4 sets 6-12 reps…

Hey there, I know exactly how you feel. I went to a friends film night and totally binged and over ate. Its made me upset, but time to breath and start again. The first thing to do is look over what was the calorie goal and to see if an increase is needed. Breath in and out!

Ok, so if I have done your spreedsheet correctly, my BMR is 1505, TDEE is 2224, TDEG is 1813. This is without exercise. So to be sure, I should be eating 1813 per day. This is scary lol.

Ok, well the reason I want to change something is cause I was shaking yesterday, and had no energy to walk let along go to the gym.

Thanks everyone, this has really given me some good insight!

I am (was) in the same boat. I was on 1200-1300 per day, then adding my exerice calories ontop. But obviously I wasnt eating enough and had a massive (to me) binge yesterday. Well, I am gonna change to the TDEE method today as I am tired of binging. Your diary kinda looks like mine 1200 to 1400, but I didnt see any…

Yip, when I can I do hike in the mountains for about 2 hours (hour there and back). My objective is to lose another 6kgs to get to 60kg, and I also wanna reduce fat. I am also trying to get my knee strength back since my second ACL operation.

@kingscrown How do you know how much you burn? Do you estimate? @Sarauk2sf Thanks for the info, so how do you find out what you burn with weight training, is the whole thing an estimation? ＠MeanderingMam Thanks for the help. When I run, I only do about 8 to 9km/h. I alternate 1 min at 6km/h, 2 min 8km/h, 1 min 9km/h, 2 min…

@just_Jennie1 Thanks, so more than 15 mins cardio is what most people do then. I shall do that too!

@ rayfu75 Heya, I did Juijitsu too, but I went to a competition and....escaping my opponent, she grabbed my leg, I twisted, snap and pop, tore all my knee ligaments lol. I can only go back next year, 3 years after my surgery. Anyways, thanks for the info!

Thanks everyone, this is great stuff!!

Well done for your loss! So you find mixing cardio and strength together ok? Not tiring or anything?

I think I will do a reset myself too starting from February though lol. I think I shall also cut out coke too for a month or two and see what happens. I only drink either once a week, but lets challenge myself lol. So Feb, not Alcohol or fizzys. Guess I will stick with tea, water, or coffee!

Heya there Thanks for the comments guys. So do most people just do few reps? I plan to do 12 reps 4 times, is that too many? I usually do struggle on the 10th though for my arms, and on the 11th for my legs. @cwolfman13 Yeah, I learned my lesson on properly separating my workouts. I usually do my legs and glutes between my…

Thanks everyone. How much cardio do you guys do? I plan on doing 15 to 20 either biking or running 3 days a week, then I will do I day of 30 min of HIIT then 30 min of Running. Does that sound like enough to help shred the pounds and fat?

Heya thanks. Basically I pick and choose exercises from a list I have, because I cant do them all right? I forgot to add that I usually do 4 sets of 8-12 of each. So legs: Barbell splint squat Front squat Leg Press max 75kgs Side to side squat Calf raises Single Leg extention max 15kgs Stiff leg deadlift Supine straight…

OK thanks! I shall send this on to my mother!

Ok, so its taking into account BMR, how do we find out what she burned then? Sorry if its a silly question, just not sure how to work it out.

Heya there, I am not South African, but I am Zimbabwean! Howit going!!

I had lower back pain, and I went to doctors for help, and it never helped. My sister then said to go to a chiropractor, and I did. It was a miracle!! He cracked and click and said that one hip was lower than the other, and rotated forward, that was what was causing my sciatica, lower back pain and that. Maybe go see one…

Yeah, lets all do this!! We can and will.
