bump for later

Heya, I would, but I am not too sure what my TDEE actually is lol.

I set my activity level as lightly active I think, the one where it has teacher in the brackets.

Ok thanks everyone, I shall cut again and see what happens, gonna be either hard or easy, lets see!

BTW the picture above looked increadable, but no, never had that. Maybe I shouldnt count my weight training in, you dont burning very much anyways through doing it. BTW how many people do cardio and weight training on the same day?

I was in the middle of editing the previous message lol. Heres an idea of what we eat, not my school, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RdFQ9Hnjys I have stopped having suger in my coffee, so I only have black. I didnt add milk to begin with anyways. I log everything, and as I said, my school lunches are very acurately…

Hi, yeah, the kids and the teachers eat the same amount of food together. Its not a cafateria, the food gets delivered to the lunch ladies, the lunch ladies serve the food, almost exact equal amounts, then we all eat the same food.

Ahhh, I feel so upset! Checked myself this morning, and I have put on inches and weight across the board. My lovely 5kg loss is now 4kg loss. I really dont know whats going on again. When I was netting 1200-1400 I was tired and binging. I increase that to 1300-1500 net calories and I put on weight. I had a big weekend…

I figured out what was happening with the running calories. I did a 10 minute walk, and looked at the calories, the machine said 50 or so. OK. I then did a 10 minute run, 8.5-9.0 km / hour, 1.4 kms, the machine said 50 calories.....huh? So I did more tinkering, and have figured that the machine uses the same calorie count…

Well, after trying this out, I decided that its not a good idea for me. Its not a knee issue, its an issue of that, once I had done my first run, the thought of doing my second made me feel more discouraged. So I shall go back to doing my 15 or so minute runs at the end of my routine. Thanks for the advice!

Oh, I do do weights! I do 30 minutes each day, Arms Mon, Wed and Friday. Legs Tues, Thurs and Sat. I do 30 to 40 minutes each.

http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx Thanks, based on that webpage, I burned 280 calories. Haaaa

Ok, just to get feedback. I did my biking, 30 minutes, 15.20 km, my heart rate according to the bike monitor was between 145 and 166 bpm, rpm 90-93, weights/ level 9-11. The bike said 250 calories give or take. If I was to input this, I myself would put in MFP 150 calories. What would you guys say?

I am an ALT, (Assistant Language teacher). But I still have to eat everything, I eat with the kids, and if I dont eat everything, the other teachers say that the kids may think its ok not to eat everything. I have to be a good example. Even if we are teachers, we still have to follow the rules! Which means, we have to eat…

I have 2 sashe coffees, they are 30 calories. I cant drink real milk, so I tend not to have any. I have a teaspoon of sugar. I think at least I had 4 of these coffees a day this week. So yeah, need to be more careful about that.

Yeah, I thought as much. I guess I am just afraid to trial and error lol. I felt horrible when my calories were lower, so I dont want to cut, and I am scared to gain, to I dont want to increase my calories. But, the only way to know, is to try! But thanks everyone, I shall, as the Japanese say, Gambare! I will start adding…

My cheat day is usually about 2000 calories. I upped my calories because I was starting to feel horrible everyday. Before November I was netting from 1100-1200 calories a day, I felt horrible, and I was starting to binge. So I upped my calories. I dont binge anymore, and I feel much better, but I have stalled. Maybe its…

It would be great if I could only eat 3/4 of what I am given at school,.....but I cant. My school is very by the book, I have to eat everything. But as I get more comments, I am thinking about what I have eaten, can coffee be that much of an influence? I dont think I logged every cup of coffee I drank. But seriously,…

Also, incase you want to know, I alter my days, I try not to have the same calories every day, I have 1 cheat day a week.

I am logging everything very very accurately except for the lunch time menues. I work at a school in Japan, and I have their menues, I have the calories. The meals are dished out very carefully because each teacher needs a portion. If I could add the fat content too, I would, but its never more than 50g. The School Lunch…

Thanks for the advice everyone. I feel better now!! Time to start again with new goals and confidence!

Thats a good acronym. I think I am tired, and abit lonely, everyday work work work. I tend to binge when I dont work out, or swim.

I have not made the food I binge on a no no per say, I prefer to not have chocolates and sweets during the week, then Saturday or Friday I will have abit of a cheat day and have the food I want. But I think I should try adding some sweets in controlled portions during the week in order to control my suger level.

Glad to know I am not the only one who's not sure about this. I guess I shall just keep my calories as there are under the general swim tab.

Opps, sorry for taking so long in replying!! Thanks for the tips, I shall try and up my protein intake!!
