I'm going by these figures because that is what MFP has stated for me. I'll try hitting 2 - 2200 pe rday and see how that goes. Weekends are what I really need to look at. I have had a few family functions come up. I have a wedding this Sunday and its my wife's birthday on Monday !!!!! It gets really depressing.

Hi Allan thanks for your help. In terms of exercising. I'm currently mixing it all up, HIT training, fress style cardio classes, weights and general cardio. Aiming for at least 4 times a week. Having oooked recently during the week, to be honest I've been hitting around 2000 cals a week. But have goine into deficit of…

Please can someone advise on above???? Thanks

Can someone please advise ??? Thanks

Many thanks to all of you for your thoughts. I've lost 4ibs so far since May 1st I think the last couple of weekends have gone a little adrift. I've been saving the calories during the week mon-fri if you see what I mean. Working out regularly and have stopped the weekday boozing which I was and had been doing on a very…

Ok. The diary is now public. All please take a look

Open now !!

Thank you all for your help and advice. Will be buying mine today !!!

Fanatstic weight loss....keep it up. Buy him something nice !

I have an addictive personality... If I get wasted on one day, I can quite easily do it 3-4 days on a trot. Not good.. Body became accustomed to it. Hate to imagine what it was doing to my insides !!!!

That is the consumption I USED to have prior to 2 weeks ago. My tolerance has gone down considerably since then

Well I have had 2 weekend of a bit of boozing too !! was 2 ibs heavier this morning !!! As I mentioned however I was on at least a 1/4 of vodka a day followed by a bottle of wine most days !!!!!

Hi I use a HRM and use a calories burnt calculator using my average hr and logging NET calories burnt as opposed to Gross calories

Its been 2 weeks I've got back into it so I have lost circa 3 pounds. But its not spot on each week...never has been. I guess its the average you have to look at over the monrth ??? I could eat a little late say on a day and be 2ibs heavier next day. Had a bottle of wine last night. I was within my calories for day and had…

I'm round 2000-2200 a day during week,

Hi. Yes I agree. These 2 weekends have included some wine and vodka consumption because of family/friend functions. However still tried to be careful on food. ALso to let you know I was drinking way too much daily for a long time so have cut out this from the daily regime !

SO that's nearly 3000 cals if I burn 300-400 cals on exercise. There is no way I'm consuming all that even on non workout days. I've lost about 3ibs in last 2 weeks

Thanks I'll have alook at that website

Thanks for your reply. I've set to 1ib a week and want to lose 20 ibs this year. Hopefully by end of October as I'm going to Dubai and its my 42nd birthday so want to be in the best shape of my life. It''s slow with me however. Body holds water very easily.

My HR averages between 154-160 when I'm doing cross trainer. According to age, frame build, weight and height I burn approx. 500 calories in 30 mins. Don't know how accurate that is is but even if you were to deduct 15-20% I'd say its in the ball park

There's always a smart ar*e in the room.... Thanks for the dictionary

You know the best part about taking the HRM off is inputting those calories in MFP.. I love it.....Get such a BUZZ !:love: :love:

The word DIET is the word called DIE.....with a T at the end. I hate it when people that say they are dieting ! Not a DIET. Just about making a change a in lifestyle. Healthier choices and the naughty stuff in moderation. Slow and steady...that way it stays off ! Best of luck !

Sue There are days when I don't eat my exercise calories back at all... They get accumulated and used on the social scene or are just kept in the bag..

I agree the HRM is a fab tool and helps you focus when training. I have the POLAR with the rib cage strap and watch. Also measuring the average HR will give you the most accurate calorie loss. Are you familiar with this website ?…

Exercise only equates to 10-15% success 80% is at the dinner table baby ! Exercise is great. Be patient and don't deny yourself of anything. Give yourself a treat once aweek and good luck !

Patience is the key..

Thanks you all for your replies. Have a good weekend. Website is awesome and so are the people that are involved on it.

Basically I signed up Monday Morning and after a heavy weekend, I decided, that's it, I'm going to get back to it ! My cal intake should be circa 2500 per day. However on the Monday and Tuesday I ate very light. I regularly workout 4-5 days a week. Elliptical and bodyweight training such as lunges, squats, mountain…
