Fasting days 500 cal women 600 cals men Fasting lasts for 24hrs.. You should never do more than 2 in a row, or your body will go into starvation mode, ideally you should do 2 per week on non consecutive days. Alternate day fasting is not sustainable, as advised in all the info regarding this it is better to do 2 days per…

Thanks for that!!!!! If the person had been more precise and referred to intermittent fasting or alternate day fasting then I would have answered accordingly.

Cycling calories are the same as any exercise, tell mfp what you have done and the cals you have burnt it will add on to your daily allowance ie 1200 allowance burn 100 cals cycling new allowance for that day 1300 cals, don't be afraid to eat these extra cals if you've earnt them your body needs the fuel.

The calorie allowance MFP gives you already has your defecit built in to the figure, (this figure is based upon your tde which is your total daily expenditure ie your bmr plus calories you burn from your day to day activities - all your bmr is, is the calories your body burns if you sat on your bum all day) MFP calculates…

I don't have a fave diet food I eat whatever food I like including cider and just enter into my daily food diary. :drinker:

Guilty as charged - I am an MFP addict lol.

The above is what I previously wrote. My response is not having a dig at online dating, I met my fiancé online, therefore speaking from experience you can meet someone online and love the idea of them, however you can't fall in love with that person until you have met and spent time together.

Ok so your bmr Is your basic metabolic rate, this is how many calories you burn if you sat in bed all day and did nothing, your tde is your total daily expenditure so basically your bmr plus additional calories burned from your daily routine. MFP gives a daily allowance based on your tde and how much weight you state you…

Seriously, don't mean to offend and I'm sorry this happened to you, but really falling in love with a guy of the Internet who you have never met before, treat this as a lucky escape and try not to be so gullible next time (harsh I know but bluntly true). Live and learn and move on and don't do it again.

With regards to the weight loss plateau, I have a pedometer called a fitbit and it will tell me, my total calories burned for the day, so I can properly calculate my calores in versus calories out, your tde which other people have mentioned is basically how many calories your body uses to function if you spent all day laid…

Low weight with lots of reps will just tone burn fat around your current muscle, if you want to sculpt and build up the muscle, do approx 3 sets with a heavy weight each set about 8 to 12 reps, the weight should be heavy enough where after your last rep on each set you can't manage another one.

Feel free to add me, I like to be supported and give support, I log in each day :)

Sorry double post.

This is what I do for pork tenderloin, I'm sure the seasoning would work just as well for pork chop. Sprinkle some all spice seasoning on to a piece of baking paper, coat both sides of the chop, then fold the baking paper around the pork chop, bash the chop to tenderise and flatten it, put a little olive oil in a pan and…

Feel free to add me anyone, like all the support I get from here :wink:

Very true, my scales and feet have to be exactly the same or I get different readings.

1500 cals for a man does seem low, you should be aiming for the numbers MFP gives you, as a lady MFP gives me 1200 cals plus each day any exercise calories I earn are added on, don't be afraid to eat up to the calorie numbers MFP gives you as MFP has done all the maths for you and will have given you a defecit each day.

Good luck with your weight loss journey, I don't believe you can control which part of your body you can lose weight from, however you can control the toning and muscle building exercises so get doing your glute exercises for your booty. :drinker:

Also if your from the UK or can access 4OD on the Internet watch a series called secret eaters, it shows how people can easily under-estimate the calories they are consuming. Also try eating back your exercise calories, if your not doing this your body might think your starving it of calories and store whatever you do eat…

Do you log your bodyfat percentage? I find sometimes if my weight isn't going to plan, I might still be losing bodyfat which then means I am losing fat but toning my muscles.

Good point, never thought about this.

Welcome to MFP - fr sent :)

Just because the workout isn't your cup of tea, don't judge others who do enjoy these, just because someone finds something awesome which you don't - so what. People are just sharing what they like to inspire others. I can't comment on the exercise routine you like to do as you missed it off your post Sorry if it seems…

I've been in this position an the answer is no no no no no no no no no, and why would you want to. I don't want to be someone's seconds, they should love and respect me that the thought of cheating would never cross their mind.

I believe you need to have a cheat day now and again to give your metabolism a boost,

I've just got the iPhone 5 and love it, will never go back to android the MFP app is so much more user friendly and I have a fitbit to which syncs straight to my iPhone as well. If I was going to get an android smart phone at the moment it would have to be the recently released Sony Xperia Z, as its got the same graphics…

Agree with you here, my motto if I want alcohol i will have it, I just include the calories in my food diary, I've got wiser with my choices on what to drink, and I too appear to have become a cheaper drunk the more weight I lose - lol.

Well done, I'm only 5ft 3, I hate it when people say you don't look like you've lost that or you don't need to lose anything aaaaarrrggghhhh. Good luck with the rest of your journey.
