Hi everyone. Just got my charge hr today. Please feel free to send me a request so we can help motivate each other! Alicia. X https://www.fitbit.com/user/4Q7X27

Friend request sent! x

Fantastic advice everyone! Thanks so much! I will go and change my macros now and up the protein/lower the carbs. : ) x

Thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it! I have been doing some reading about 'tendon healing food' and was going to up the protein, but not sure what to? Think I need to add protein powder to smoothies? Exercise: I did some P90X Kenpo last night, but had to do it sitting, so only managed about 20 minutes. It is so…

Hi Rodduz, Yes I NEED to lose weight. I started losing weight last summer when I originally ruptured my achilles. Docs tried to fix it without surgery, which didn't work. So I have basically had the best part of a year unable to exercise. Hence I have put on far too much weight. I am only 5ft 2'' and weigh 169lbs. I have…

Diary open! : )

Hi, thanks....Sorry, the TDEE I posted earlier is my TDEE of 1819 - 25%! Should have mentioned that! I have edited my OP. x

Cutting grass

Hi, Happy for anyone to add me! Got about 36 lbs to lose! But have my leg in plaster after surgery, so the next couple of months will be interesting! Alicia. x

Hi, I am also on 1200. I've just had ankle surgery so am very inactive at the moment. I'm going to see how 1200 goes for a few weeks then adjust if I need to. Anyone is welcome to add me! X

Thanks everyone! Good luck with the 'journey' however long or short it is going to be for you! Feel free to add me for mutual support! :happy:

We all fall off the wagon here and there! Just put this slip behind you and try to stick to your calorie goal for the rest of the day. If you go over, do some extra exercise. Just start tomorrow fresh....and try to avoid the 'naughty' treats! One slip up will not make you fail! Brush yourself off, take a deep breath and…

Thanks ladies! So it seems anything between 120-150 lbs ish is what we are all aiming for! ; )

I'm in the UK - anyone can add me! The more support the better! Alicia ; )

Im in! Ive got about 30lbs to lose by Sept so this will give me a big kick start! I had achilles surgery 3 weeks ago and will be in a cast/boot for the full 50 days if not more, so exercise is going to be interesting! Feel free to friend me! Alicia. x

Hi, I had achilles reconstruction surgery 3 weeks ago and am now in a cast/boot for the next 2 months at least. I have about 2 stone to lose.....and I really want it gone by the time I return to work (I teach) in September. So I too am concerned about how I will do it with limited exercise! There are quite a few 'seated…

Bump!

Thanks Staci! Thats great advice! I was thinking of doing the seated cardio workouts on YouTube! My BMR is 1520.

HI everyone, feel free to add me! I am 34, married with a 5 year old son. About o have surgery on my achilles tendon next week so would be grateful of lots of support whilst I am sitting at home with my leg up all summer!! I log every day! Alicia. (Leicestershire)

Hi everyone! I too completely ruptured my left achilles last July playing netball. I went down the conservative route as UK hospitals (well leicestershire ones anyway) prefer not to repair surgically if possible. So, here we are, ten months later and it is still not right. MRI shows an abnormal achilles with massive…

Just found this on the livestrong site. I have just used the above link and got 325 calories....used this equationa dn got the exact same total calories burnt. So should be fairly accurate if you use a HR monitor!! Women: Use this equation if you are a woman: (0.4472 x heart rate - 0.05741 x weight + 0.074 x age - 20.4022)…

I wondered this and use a HR monitor and enter it as circuit training (for plyo, core syn and kenpo). If the calories stated by MFP are much different from what my HR monitor shows, amend them slightly. I'm not doing the full P90x due to lack of time, but I am doing the cardio ones! I will now check them with the above…

Thanks so much everyone!! Great advice! : )

Thanks everyone! I have just set my diary to public so that you can have a look. My current settings are for 40% Carbs, 25% Fat and 35% Protein. Alicia. x
