do 20 full press ups (currently can do 15 on my knees - could only do 3 when i started) run 5km - completed!! do 3 prone holds for 1 minute each (currently can do 3x25sec) Size 10 pants (NZ sizing) play midfield in my soccer team without seeing spots =)

like the person above is alluding to, if you have a 500 cal deficit - you can eat 500cals over your limit and still not gain.

what makes you think it puts you back into maintenance? you're already at a deficit you can eat them. though most things overestimate calories burnt so i usually eat half of them back i've lost 8kg (18lb) in two months

go see a physiotherapist

the packet just said "stir fry beef" =( ah well. thanks anyway

i mean the actual meat. just the meat. not the veges/noodles or anything

i love frozen peas, grapes, rice crackers (just one row), apples, bananas, carrots+hummus, vitawheat crackers + cottage cheese

As far as I know, it will lower your heart rate for exercise so your HRM won't work. If your HR is normally 150bpm with exercise then with the beta blocker it will stay below 100. You'll have to use another method of estimating your calories. Source: I'm a physiotherapist and did a pharmacology paper where we took a beta…

try a physiotherapist. (physical therapist in the US I think)

my personal trainer says that processed food is stored quicker than unprocessed food. he eats paleolithic. i could never do that.

though some people say that MFP overestimates how many calories you burn during exercise.... so aim for goal and then about 1/2-3/4's of the exercise ones. word on the street.

Often the parents won't know. They'll wear something else and take it off to reveal the new outfit when out of parents sight. People who don't have teenagers and say they will be different have a lot to learn hahaha.

word on the street: you already have a deficit built into mfp, so if you do exercise you are earning more to eat. but mfp overestimates how many calories you've burnt so some people recommend eating half to 3/4's rather than all of them back. if you dont eat back some exercise calories then essentially you're running on…

15 min light run (rest dayyyyyyyy)

basmati rice + lite canned flavoured tuna = cheap easy rissotto

i'm 5'8 woo

and if you are getting all the nutrients you need. (eg protein)

marmite (from new zealand) avocado (sparingly) peanut butter [no salt, no sugar version] (sparingly) + tomato

my dad qualified as a builder at age 53. and my great grandad started his own company at 73 (he's 102 now and the company is now public trading!)

physiotherapist! love it. problem solving + people = happy Hannah =)

ps how do you change your macros?

any sugar from fruit, yogurt or milk i ignore. not saying its right. just saying its what i do

hrm are supposed to be more accurate than mfp but thats just what iv heard

stairs are definitely difficult. but they are AWESOME at getting you fit so well done for doing it. i run up and down stairs for 5mins with a 10kg weightbag on my shoulders and do 5 squats at bottom and 5 squats at top. as half of it is going down and half is going up, i'm not sure if it equivalent, but that gets me beat!

i dont know if it has already been said, but complex foods use more energy by your body to digest them so you actually burn calories eating it. whereas refined things (like the cake) dont take much energy to digest. i dont really know what you mean by pocket so not sure if this applies.

ps. you could try just going to sleep? thats what i usually do

try eating half a carrot. (~10 calories) if you don't want to - you aren't hungry ;) (don't quote me on this, but it sounds good right? - unless you dont like carrots lol)

i have ocd tendencies too and i LOVE IT. lists lists lists are my favourite thing. imagine the excitement when i found i could list food!!! and that it would end up with me losing weight lol

I have over-eating days when it is a friend/family member's birthday or if I am going out with friends (only happens like once every 1-2months) Apart from that I sometimes eat bad options occasionally just to keep me sane. I think it helps keep you on the band wagon if you know you arent cutting things out completely. But…

47 is fine. are you a runner? if you are not feeling fit/healthy- head to your doctor
