up to about 4lbs for me, but feels a lot more!

I'd say yes, but it is probably more detrimental to your health and you are probably less likely to want to move. So in all, probably insignificant. (I don't actually know the facts though)

I didn't really log, but I think I might have put on 2lbs. 2lbs heavier than my current lightest so I'll see over the next few weeks. I don't think it's too bad seeing as though I ate horribly on some days.

It was the silliness of the the jumping jacks around when the period is due, periods came anywhere from 7 to 48 hours after, that I was trying to get at. If it is regularly late, light, or irregular then go to the doctor. If it happens infrequently, they normally just say monitor it anyway, 'it's stress' 'change of diet'…

If you are under 1200 it tells you off, if you go over 1200 it tells you off. If you actually eat exactly 1200 calories, it tells you off (well is red). You can't win, so don't try to, your calorie consumption will vary daily anyway. Reiterating what others have said, 1200 is low anyway and 2 pounds is quite a lot. Why not…

Exactly. I wouldn't waste a doctors time with something that is a silly coincidence. Exercise can kick start your period and if you are due anyway then what is the problem. Do you only do jumping jacks once a month, two days before your period? I assume no, and have those jumping jacks caused your period to start? Again, I…

Yes, it's almost the 'I'm an overweight person. I'm supposed to be overweight'. I thought I was going to lose weight but never be thin. I thought I was genetically meant to be that size, and to lose weight would almost betray that and I would have to starve to be the size I want. However, I have realised it isn't true.…

If it's hard for you to lose 1 pound, then 15 pounds is a lot before Christmas. Why not 5 pounds? Nice and steady and will set you up on the right path for next year.

Yeah it feels like they say it to everyone to give a compliment and hope they get a message back. The problem is it doesn't sound genuine. (Call me weird but I actually didn't like messages saying I had a great figure when I was at my heaviest, because it sounds like a cheap compliment). It did seem a bit odd that that was…

helpful lol

I'm not Scottish, (English) but you need to try deep fried mars bars. The absolute opposite of healthy haha. Stovies is nice and probably quite nice.

being hyper and not being able to concentrate isn't the same as doing exercise and burning calories.

I don't think using exercise as punishment is a bad thing. They see the act of punishment as punishment, not the exercise. It could be sitting in a corner, reading a book by themselves, doing pressups etc.. I think it's the act of punishment that's effective, isolating the child and making the do SOMETHING, not letting…

I don't mean in terms of calories. I don't normally feel like I need them, I mean drinking water, electrolytes etc. I am the sort of person that exercises and doesn't even take it into consideration that I might need to drink afterwards or eat :S But I'm not at that stage yet anyway.

Thanks, that's quite interesting. I didn't know it was so nutrition was so important for running past 1 hour either (probably because I've only just started doing it and I've done hours of other exercise with no issue).

Thanks everyone, I wont worry too much, but I do still need to focus on eating a bit more. I eat plenty at my parents but not really enough in uni.

Yes this is what I have occasionally, though it feels more like a treat :)

That's how I feel about some things. I don't tend to log my juice (cordial/squash) because it has about 5 cals max. I think if I log it, I tend to drink less and I don't think that is a good way to go. I don't want to get obsessed with the tiny values and I want to look at the bigger picture for a better lifestyle change…

Well I measure milk using ml. People do things differently, get over it. There are loads of different entries with cups, metric and imperial measurements. Milk, and other generic USDA values usually list cups, average sizes and 100g. Those values are the most helpful for me because they have the most data.

Yes I do just log it but I disagree with this. Sometimes it's just too hard too log logistically. The app is too slow to log everything using my internet and if I'm on holiday I haven't got access to the internet at all. I try logging for instance at a buffet, then a night out and staying over but it is VERY time consuming…

What time do you go to bed???

I found running really increased my stamina for everything. You can cook too, you mum will be grateful and will change what she buys if she knows that she doesn't have to cook it or she has help. Or even more so if it works out cheaper. It can be just as fast to make a casserole - cook the meat and then bung all the veg in…

there are no specific exercises for petite woman! Unless you count gymnastics where petiteness is an advantage, so do that. Cardio and strength, there you are.

That's what I mean! different people use different amount of milk. She uses semi-skimmed, which is about 1.7% fat but might be putting in more milk than the 15cals. My cup of tea works out at about 50 cals! it is pretty milky though.

Sorry to nitpick, but on the 5th you had coco pops with skimmed milk, but a cup of tea with semi?

Be careful with your tea logging. I was logging my tea with those values (15 cals per mug) but when I weighed the amount of milk I put in it's more like 50 cals (100ml of semi skimmed). When someone else make a cup or it's in a small mug I might log it as 0.8 or 0.75 or a mug. It might not sound a lot, but I was having up…

I agree that it shouldn't be the be all and end all when it comes to making important decisions. If you have to take it into consideration for your health insurance (I don't know) or other things in the US there should be other tests you they consider too. It's still a good guide for the average person though, and people…

I think it is a good indication. I have 0.5 pounds to go until I am in the healthy zone and I think I could still lose a stone. I need to lose 2 stone to be right in the middle of it. However, the range is massive and saying that it doesn't apply for bodybuilders is stupid, they are more likely to know their body fat…
