Lot of hangry people here

I have been here, and I've seen the light. I lost quite a bit by eating around 1000 calories and running lots, but I was a moody *****. And when I hit a major plateau I was a major ***** x 1 million. I found lots of support and help online from people who advocate eating more to weigh less. Here's what I did Over-ride the…

Awesome thanks! Looks like my tdee is 2400, no wonder I am tired and emo at 1300. Will aim to eat all my exercise calories (total will be around 1700) and see if that makes a difference.

Lightbulb moment! Thanks everyone. I randomly stumbled upon this post. Two weeks ago i dropped my intake to 1320, because i wanted to lose quicker and i gained both weeks. I run 5k 5 times a week and walk on rest days or do weights.. I've been tired and grumpy since i dropped and i stopped eating most of the cals i earned…

Wheetbix, hot water, tinned peaches, berry yoghurt mush. about 300cal

Bump = pushes the post to the top of the message board. :smile:

2 x pastrami wraps - Pastrami, 7 Slices (58g) - Wholemeal Tortilla, 2 Wrap - Dijoinnaise, 2 tsp - Gherkins In Vinegar, 25 g - Salad leaves Approx 350cals and very filling.

Same here - well still working on the junk bit but now it's 80/20 and exercise every day.

Hey - hugs to you. I've been there, bingeing and all, and it's taken me a lot of years to realise everyone is different, and the only real reason to make a change is for your own health and well-being. I think the key for me is exercise, I still eat a lot so I have to work out every day. Also being on here and tracking…

I'm loving Bircher Muesli at the moment - 2 cups oats, 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup low fat yog, 1/4 cup almonds, 1 cup frozen mixed berries, stir all together and leave overnight. Serves 4 at 252 cals. You could have double, or have with 2 slices multigrain bread, top with 40g edam and 2 tomatoes, and grill (336 cals).

I've lost 15kg this year by tracking my food and exercising almost every day. Typical (good) week includes 2 x spin classes, 2-3 5km runs, 3-4 hour long walks, 1-2 zumba classes, and kettle bell workouts every other night.

Nice work everyone! I did an hour power walk with the dogs and a toddler asleep in the buggy. Given the searing heat I'm sure I burned more calories than usual Tracked all my food too. Whoops 600 over, but hey, it's Christmas and knowing I was going to track made me feel in control.

I have a theory - and I test it a lot: skinny people don't emotionally eat. Ask a skinny person - if you're really stressed do you eat much? And they'll say "No way, I can't eat". Ask a bigger person and they'll say "Yes, I can't stop." Now that I've figured that out I try to be mindful of emotional eating, watching what…

1. we make our own 'kfc', coat in flour, wgg and fine polenta mixed with herbs (1 teaspoon each of ground oregano, chili powder, ground sage, dried basil, dried marjoram, pepper, onion salt, garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt, paprika), spray with cooking oil spray and bake in moderate oven 30-40 mins. 2. lebanese chicken -…

Thanks and WOW hoping to post a bikini pic at the end of 2013. How much have you lost?

Hi from Wellington here too! Good on you for walking the dogs - they're great motivators aren't they?
