Hello ladies! I am 5'11" I feel most comfortable in a AU/UK 10... if I am toned. Weight of 154lbs/ 70 kgs. Weight shouldn't factor in as much if you are strength training, unfortunately at the moment I cannot but hope to return to that in the coming months and get back on track!

I have come to realise FOR NOW refined sugar. But it's a catch 22 by restricting I binge, but I don't think I am strong enough to just have one serving?!

It all depends on your effort as mentioned by other posters. I too wear a HRM, anytime I assume I will have an elevated HRM basically :tongue: The machines all tell you your cals burnt, but even that is not accurate. Though many say HRM is inaccurate, but it's probably the closest thing to accurate given it's working on…

Ashleigh: 3 Binge: 1 I experienced SO much anxiety at the time, I had a teary, but I confessed my sins to my partner and my MFP friends, they both helped. I moved past it, I brushed my teeth, showered, gave my partner the massage I promised him as it was his birthday and I went to BED. CRISIS AVERTED! I realised this food…

I agree for the most part with all other posters! I have the Polar FT60. Polar HRMs up to and including the FT60 model are a great entry level product. For the money you want to spend I agree go with a polar. But some cons: I pick up other people beside in the gym's transmission from their chest strap; They are waterproof,…

"Cellulite is the accumulation of fats, proteins and other waste products that have not been excreted from the body efficiently. Normally these unwanted substances would be carried out of the body via the wonderful lymphatic system, however, when the flow of lymph is sluggish, a build up of toxins occurs and cellulite…

If you have gone to the effort of posting this thread you are second guessing it on some level. I would assume that is because you can see a future with this new man. Sure it's only been two dates, but you've also chatted online, and have the personal connection from the dog park. By now assumedly a bond has formed, and…

Also agree! I was on 1200 when I started here; I would do maintenance calories of 1700 of a weekend. I now consume 1500 calories (my resting BMR) through the week and try to stay under my maintenance BMR (2200 + exercise performed) of a weekend. Cycling up and down allows you to live, you can do it week on or week off, I…

I try to eat clean & organic largely. That tends to mean not a lot of gluten but I have my weak moments!

I think MFP is a great tool to be accountable! Request friends from forums/ communities which you think share a similar mindset and have the same goals (look for this on their profile); Pre log your meals at the beginning of each day; Allow yourself to eat 3 big meals or 6 small meals; DO NOT restrict calories, eat ATLEAST…

Absolutely agree they are jealous you are trying to make a positive change that they probably don't have the balls to do! They don't want to see you suceed, because making you fail is easier then them making a positive change for themselves. You need to rise above them, agree with Rhonnie, you need to target the…

Sorry you had the same issues as I. It's horrid, I hope you are on the road to recovery x

Sadly it is I have also been battling with an ED for 6 odd years :ohwell: But 2013 is my year, and I have made a very excellent MFP friend from this forum so am thankful I joined in. I love the support from the community that is on MFP it's amazing. And that you can be so brutally honest about your situation without fear…

Hi dear, Yes I think mine took 5-7 days to kick in. I started on 20mg and went up to 40mg after one month. I cycled up in the beginning and down in the end. I took Duromine/ Phentermine because I wanted to lose the 10 odd kilograms I had gained from my binge eating, which my doctor I feel negligently prescribed me given I…

Oh dear, also just realised that apidex is the same as what we call Duromine. I took Duromine/ Phentermine because I wanted to lose the 10 odd kilograms I had gained from my binge eating, which my doctor I feel negligently prescribed me given I was in the middle of the healthy BMI weight range at that time, but I pursued…

GAHH YESS! :mad: I have had it for as long as I can remember but was only diagnosed recently when I began seeing my psychologist. I grew up in a rural area and we didn’t see the doctor other than for usual childhood check ups. My parents saw I had an obsession with smelling things, cleaning my hands, fidgeting & tapping…

Dear, I have had the injections as I was a Vegan and needed the boost as well as the Vitamins! I know how much of a boost I got from these, so it's worrying you are taking something else on top of that. Do you need this much energy? What are you using it for if so, are you exercising heavily? I can't see that it would…

Dear, I know it can be frustrating, and usually trying for the first time, you get a lot of weight which is a great motivator... until you plateau. But not losing on the first attempt is annoying! I use my RESTING BMR. Which for me is 1569, I am taller & weigh more. I eat 1200 calories through the week and 1700 calories on…
-
It may not be a crash, but a plateau... It just means it won't be as easy and you have to change your routine & diet to shock your body. This is why cycling up and down on calories per week is a great technique to stay in front!
-
I totally understand, I have a negative attitude toward my body and always think I look much bigger than anyone's perception of me so I get anxious seeing my family for that reason. I self sabotage before I see them to make myself look, well more so feel worse than reality. It’s disappointing when no one mentions your hard…

Agree it's silly I log my reps in the strength section and my calories in the cardio section. Definitely a system flaw!
-
A great investment is a Heart Rate monitor, you can pick them up at a good rate online. Mine is my bible. I use a Polar FT6 which is above the standard, but has some amazing features that I love and most importantly use regularly! I used to aim to burn 1000cals per session (cardio) within 1 hour & 20 mins. I have now cut…

That is good! Generally the aim is to lift your body weight, so push ups and core exercises are great to help you along! But it is true, I see men lifting a LOT less! Especially juxtaposed to their actual weight... being much more than yours generally!
