Wow, where to start! Firstly, just because someone hasn't logged food and/or exercise on their diary it certainly doesn't mean they haven't been eating or exercising! forgetting to log, didn't visit mfp, was away or busy, there are many reasons why someone may "appear" to have gaps in their diary's on here, NEVER assume…

Shockingly bad advice......

^This x1000! stay away from diet pills!!!!

Is that just before the Police arrive?! lol

Blackberry are rubbish these days, totally left behind hence the poor recent sales. iPhones are fantastic no doubt about it, just I found the screen size too small (3.5" is way too small now compared to the competitors out there) and they are quite limited in the options and settings department. I stuck with iPhones for a…

This thread looks like it may explode lol, I'm getting the popcorn, anyone want some? :drinker:

^This There is a reason why we all put the weight on, for you to be over 190lbs you must have been having FAR more than 1200 calories a day, there are soooo many threads like this and everyone will tell you the same, admit your downfall then try and work from there, kidding yourself by saying "but i can't eat 1200 calories…

Superb info!

I've been comparing calorie content from white rice and brown rice and there really doesn't seem much in it at all unless i'm missing something? the brown rice has lower carbs but not by a huge amount, fat is actually higher in some brown rice? Me = confused!

Not sure how I missed your post but thank you! :happy:

120lbs since June last year, :happy:

I know but I can't stand brown rice! yuk!

You do more than enough running around in a typical day to lose weight! anything active counts as exercise, you don't need to do crazy amounts of exercise to lose weight no matter what people tell you! trust me, I know! Just been looking at your diary and I would look a lot more closely at your diet and see if you can make…

^This!

Wow! everything you said describes exactly how i was before I went to high protein, the snacking and wanting more and more was a nite mare and happened so often (and how I got so big in the first place!), then after binging on all sorts of rubbish I'd feel really guilty and depressed for letting myself eat so bad. I now…

^This Not sure I would trust "2 Registered Nurses and a Dietitian" that say stuff like that... The fact is, you have too many calories you put on weight, this isn't from having too much protein, its from having too many calories in general, same with carbs and fat. I have looooads of protein, quite low carbs and very low…

Seems to be some VERY delusional people in this thread lol

^ Toally agree to this I've been there as have many others on here (being overweight) and even if they didn't have health problems now there is no doubt at all that if they stay overweight they will have serious health issues in the future. When I was over 260lbs I was ALWAYS out of breath, I had a very rapid pulse (90bpm…

Thanks :)

My BMR is 1793, then times it by 1.2 (light activity to be on the safe side) and that equals = 2151 calories per day to maintain my weight, I go lower I lose weight, I go higher I gain weight, simples! To lose 1lb a week I need to eat 1651 a day (500 x 7 = 3500, 3,500 calories in 1lb). A very good link which helps work it…

Sorry to put a negative on this but you do know that heart rate monitors that show calories burnt are also only estimates don't you? none of them are 100% correct, its a known fact that heart rate monitors can over estimate calories burnt by a LOT, compare two side by side and they show different results on the same…

I never use the wii balance board to weight myself anymore as it is the worse scale ever, always different on each reading and always 1-9lbs different to our digital home scales (which show the same weight as the one at our local doctors so I know it's spot on unlike the wii!) Let's just say the wii balance board is not…

102lbs From July 2010 to January 2011, I've lost 116lbs in total :smile:

No but I do have pro plus (basically caffeine tablets) every morning instead as I need caffeine!, bad me! And no, that is NOT coffee, that is a desert in a mug, a coffee is just coffee and milk, when I do make coffee I use instant coffee granules, skim milk and half a sugar, under 25 calories for your morning wake up call!…

Thank you Fattack, that is very helpful. Also, would a heart rate monitor track how many calories you burn over 24 hours? just that would be spot on? if so any makes or models that anyone could recommend?

I am going up this week for a checkup anyway so will ask him/her :)

Ok, been looking at anything local that I could attend and to be honest there doesn't seem to be a lot, I do live in a quiet area of mainly old people! :laugh:

Anyone? :smile:

I've lost an average fashion model (and she’s 5’11”), if you see her gimme a shout please, she keeps wondering off! :laugh: 117 pounds = an average fashion model (and she’s 5’11”)

Me me, pick me! I've never had a heart rate monitor, I would LOVE one though, I've lost 116lbs without using one :wink:
