Have you taken measurments also? It could be a number of things - have you eaten anything differently? bad sleep? water retention? weather? There are lots of variables to take into account with this. As you said you feel bloated and full, so it that sounds like its your issue. I'd really only worry if you start to get…

I think I added everyone who hasn't already added me! :) FR if not!!

mirin those muscles!

Added! :)

Top 'criteria' I guess is active user, not a total negative nelly and no crazy low calorie diarys.

Think I added everyone! ((bump))

Thanks everyone! Have added you all :)

Yes however they recommend getting the T31 strap for underwater tracking instead of usinvg the orginal one as salt and chlorine can distort data and results :)

Yeah she asked for my help :) I would never push something onto someone they didnt initiate themselves! xx

Person in question is about 330 pounds. Swimming is about all they can do for cardio right now as they get really sore joints from exercising - walking and anything else pretty much causes a lot of pain (please forgo the whole 'no results without pain!!!!!" because some people need to be rehabbed into exercise and this is…

Weights - lift them ;)

Perfect. I don't believe in clean eating because demonizing food isn't 'healthy'. Neither is being 'scared' of certain food or refusing point blank to eat it. Everyone eats different, I eat to fill my nutritional needs and then add in extra yummy stuff to help keep calories up. Eating clean for me caused a huge problem…

It's only been 3 weeks! Give it time. And yeah, you can't spot reduce. x

Ah put like that it makes excellent sense. My HR isnt that far off, but always felt like i was lagging behind and like it should have been more calorie burnt. Thanks for posting this OP! x

I find that kinda weird, I mean everything we do is 'cardio' activity and everything we do burns calories.. I already know its probably not 100% accurate, nothing ever is but personally I don't feel that's a reason to discredit it :) Feels like this plays along the lines of 'cardio only for weight loss' which I am SO not…

Nope I add them in. Quick question how are they 'not accurate'?

Eat more and lift more. Figure out your actual TDEE and slowly work your way up to it. Do it 100 calories at a time - if you put on weight one week you can stay there until the next week. Take some time out, stressing about weight loss (can) make it harder for you to lose it. (For example I did a challenge, was so stressed…

I have a below the neck rule. If its anything respiratory, gastro etc I won't work out - its not helping anyone. If I'm feeling a cold/flu coming on then I still work out, but thats because I find that sometimes if I catch it working out can make it leave before it starts, but definetly NOT if I am…

Nope! You obviously need to work towards getting RDI's of micronutrients, but that doesn't mean you can't eat things that aren't 100% nutrient dense. It's okay to have a mixture of things, I think the problem mainly is when people value calorie dense over nutrient dense too much and it causes decifiencies and other issues.…

FR sent! 20 living in North Brisbane :)

That link doesnt work for me :(

Its the best feeling! Someone asked me at work why I lifted weights to which I replied to be strong. She asked me WHY I wanna be strong, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr why would you wanna be weak?!?!?!

bump!

Working towards eating big and lifting bigger! Currently working back up to 2200 from 1700 and lift 3-5 times a week.

Heavy or otherwise ladies who lift big. Either way :P

Currently eating 2100 and working on moving up and always working to improve my lifts. Sending requests left right and centre, nice to see people who aren't just in the 'under 1500' club!

WOOP! So nice to find some lifting ladies!! Have added you all! :D

Added you all and am interested :) Love being part of an active MFP community!
