22ssingh

Well guys I am yet to weigh myself since I last posted, but I have certainly lost a bit more weight, my waist has shrunk even more and FINALLY my stomach has started to go down :D I'm feeling really good today, thanks to everyone who gave me advice

I have actually used that one, and it gave me a totally different figure to the scoobys bmr calculator, hence why I'm so confused lol

Bump

These are my details: sex male, age 21, weight 218 lbs, height 72 inches, Body fat percentage 32.5% I was eating 1790 cals but upped them to 2040 recently due to this confusion, what seems right before or after?

I will try that, thanks a lot

Thanks, I used that and even that is telling me to eat 2200 cals a days to lose 1.1 lbs per week! Man I've been eating 1790 for a long time which seems way too low now. What do you guys think if I eat 2000 for a while and see how it goes? Or is that still too low?

Thanks for the input, using fat2fit radio, it tells me I should be eating 2314 if I'm sedentary, 2651 if I'm lightly active and so on, I entered my weight which is 218 lbs, my height which is 72 inches, age which is 21, goal weight which is 175 lbs and body fat which is 32.5%, so I'm really confused on how much I should be…

Thanks, I used the military calc and then worked out my bmr by putting in my body fat percentage, and when I times that number by 1.2 (if I'm sedentary) I get a number of 2630, so how much should I be eating? I've been eating 1790, and lost a little bit of weight, but now it seems like the weight loss has stopped

It's just when I put my details in MFP and set it as I wana lose 1.5 lbs a week it tells me to eat 1790. I do weight training 4 days a week and hour cardio 2 times a week

I've not tried eating more, but right now it seems like my weight loss has stopped :-(

What did you use to work out how much you should be eating?

Yeah I manage 1790 ok tbh, I just don't want to be eating less than I should be Ps my bmr is 2600

Just did the test as shown in the video and all seems normal thanks

That makes more sense, thanks bro

Nope not allergic to anything, but most people are saying water retention so will keep that in mind

Thanks for the input, Yeah I'm actually doing a lot of walking, uphills etc so thanks

wow 20-24 glasses of water a day!! that sounds crazy to me, I'm running to the toilet after every 2 glasses lol but how many glasses should I be drinking?

Sounds like it makes sense lol, well thanks I guess I will stop the ab training for now

Thanks people, I will post results in a few weeks or in a months time

Thanks for replying. So your saying I should tighten my abs when I'm lifting?

Thanks for the reply, I'm taking Optimum Nutrition casein and whey but only on weight raining day. Just did a google search on cortisol, and I'm thinking you mean having too much stress, but thats definitely not me tbh

Right, now I'm really feeling discouraged, I'm doing everything right and seem to be losing weight, but it really feels like my stomach is getting bigger :-( how is this even possible? its not the fact that I'm not losing it on my stomach, its where it looks like its getting bigger, what could i be doing wrong? all my…

Thank you, you're a 9 too (mainly because the "about me" part of your profile is very interesting)

Haha you're probably right.. OK 1.5

1 (no homo)

7

U could be right, I have days that my stomach feels like its gone in, and other days it feels like its sticking out a bit. I think if I lose fat there that should solve my problem though, I'm just going to stick to it until it goes :-)

I'm actually on a diet which gives me a deficit of 650 calories every day 7 days a week

You could be right, I will be honest and say I dot drink enought water, but I will look to drink more mate, thanks for the tip

I will do mate thanks, and congrats on losing 26lbs so far
