Great minds think alike!! Feel free to add me if you need any help x

I totally agree with Lisa on this one... Have you tried changing your FAT/CARBS/PROTEIN percentages to 40/30/30 mix, the 40 being either Carbs or Protein?

I used one off google but find out your BMR then times it by your activity level x

Ps I dont eat my exercise calories x

I work out my bmr then times it by 1.2 then deduct 500 a day then I know even if I only eat my cals for the day and dont exercise I will loose 1lb a week :happy: Then I burn another 3500 cals through exercise and thats another 1lb, even though the scales dont always show due to muscle mass etc... Hope this makes sense xx…

Yes well I take the whole point of using this site seriously hence loosing weight...

I used to get these real bad and it was because I was wearing the wrong style of trainer. Find a good footwear shop and get them to do a gait anaylsis....they will tell you your style of running and what trainer you should be wearing. I switched from Asics to Nike and ive had no pain what so ever!! :wink:

Couldnt Agree More!! x

Hiyaaa. I use My Protein Impacy Diet Whey, Its 32g protein and 8g Carbs 4g fat....the choclate mint flavour is LUSH!! I have had great sucess from using it to fill in the gaps where I cant get enough source protein into my diet. xx

Ive sent you a friends request...anyone else feel free to add me too!! And lets get fit and healthy for summerrrrrrrrr!! :flowerforyou:

I totally had this problem before I bought a HRM! I was going off the times and MFP guesstimations of what I had burnt. When I bought my HRm adn started using it i was burning less than I thought but since ive stuck to what my HRM says and not MFP on exercise, I have been loosing weight and getting fitter my the day!! I…

love this post but wheres your head? ha ha

I couldnt agree more with the above quote!! I have invest in a Polar HRM and I just go off that and not the machines as i found they were inaccurate. I prefer to go on the elliptical as i always feel ive burnt more but carry on with your interval training on the the treadmill...as you will increase your fitness over time…

I always run on 1400 and burn 700, 3 times a week I find if I go less than this i turn into a right moody b*tch Eat what your body needs and exercise more :laugh: x

I LOVE THIS THREAD!!! IT HAS MOTIVATED ME FOR THE DAY, THANKYOU FOR POSTING AND TO EVERYONE WHO HAS ADDED THEIR OWN QUOTES!! :bigsmile:

WOAHH WOAHH WOAHHH!!! :noway: WE WILL HAVE NONE OF THAT TALK ROUND HERE JIM BOY!!! WELL DONE for loosing 1lb :bigsmile: a small loss is better than a big loss, less chance of it going back on twice as much. Its hard when you aren't loosing big amounts but the key to loosing weight is going it the healthy way (which always…

I'll second that!! WELL DONE!!!

Hiyaaa, I use a HRM and i never deduct from my BMR. and i also leave mine ticking until I walk down the stairs after my workout. :happy:

I have a Polar f11, its an old model but ive never used it....if your going to but one....get a F4/F7 they are fab (apparently) I love my f11 even though its probably as old as the hill now haha x

Nairns mixed berries oat cakes :) yum!!

I'll third this as its god send!! I was just debating upping my calorie limit due to increasing my fitness level!

Ps Add me if you want ill always be happy to help....took me ages to get it right :) xx

Heyy heyy, I started my weight loss journey on the 11th of feb and have so far lost 6lbs, I was aiming for a 2lb a week lost , around the time of month this weight is water weight so i wouldnt worry about it, just keep exercising and remain positive!! :wink: Now on the case of eating 1200 and not being satisfied.... I was…

I totally agree i LOVE my high arches! :happy:

Yeah that makes sense :) see i always have my MFP set to maintainence as i go off my BMR - 600 cals a day and burn an extra 3500 through exercise so im looking at 2lbs a week loss as 1200 cals is no go for me im too moody without food ha ha x
