I'm a pescatarian, but eat mostly veggie and trying to eat more vegan meals, my diary is open, although the last week was shocking for staying within calorie limits as I had most of the week off :D

Fasting the next day isn't a good idea (if you are not usually someone who practices fasting or IF). You could start treating your calorie goals as a weekly thing, if it helps? As others have said why did you go over? Me for instance I did a similar thing this week Weds night me and my bf ordered pizza, I had fizzy pop and…

I used to Crossfit and run. Can you fit a run in during the days you don't do Crossfit so you are doing 3 x run and 3 x Crossfit, one run can be a bit shorter, alternatively do a different cardio workout (I used to 3x Crossfit a week, 2 x run a week, 1 x cardio class). 6 workouts seems a lot but since 1 workout was…

I had a copper IUD fitted in January and definitely get the same sluggish/lack of energy thing, try B vitamins during your period? They don't make me feel like exercising but I definitely feel less sluggish. I am struggling to find some balance personally as with the IUD my period now lasts 7-10days and for at least 5 days…

Like the others said if you are going to eat the rest of it, don't stress too much. Log it as fraction amounts or have it and don't log it. @ncfitbit I also like to have 'free food' as I already logged it.

Way to take something out of context. The poster says this: There's an awesome donut shop in my area called Hurts Donuts. I sometimes stop by for a splurge on long run day. I call them my 10 mile donuts because that's how long I need to run to earn one! They are referring to a treat that they have when they have hit a…

That's always the advice in those terrible ads on pages about losing belly fat, the 5 foods you should avoid or whatever. Not weight related but my sisters MIL when she was pregnant with my niece 10/11years ago told her not to sit with her legs crossed as she was hurting the baby?????? Weight loss related: one of my best…

I think there are 2 issues here, the first is although the OP can say no to the treats he brings home, everybody here knows that can be hard. Also he sounds like he offers more than once, even if she says no the first time, which isn't very fair. So speak to him about how he needs to understand that you are trying your…

If you run in the morning then perhaps, eating a little more the day/night before would be more beneficial. I'm a runner and morning workout person so I generally do my exercise fasted (rarely I'll have half a banana with a glass of water before), but I do notice that if I've not eaten well the night before I'll suffer…

Why are you looking to lose 30-50 pounds if you are 144 at nearly 5'3"? I am also nearly 5'3" (161cm) and small build, the very lowest weight I should really be in 48kg (105.8lbs). Taking injections is going to do nothing for you, I'm also pretty sure (note this is opinion feel free to correct me with evidence) unless you…

B Vitamins may help with the fatigue, I take them every other day normally but take them every day during the week of my period.

I generally try and stay in calorie count for the day, but overall I think of it as a weekly budget, I even have a spreadsheet that I use to track, weight, calorie limit, exercise, exercise calories and total ('cause I'm a nerd and have a boring desk job) :wink: I do bank calories for the days I will eat out at dinner…

It's only one day, I'm out at an amazing Pizzeria on Sunday for Valentines, I know I will order and eat a whole pizza plus wine plus dessert, plus a shared starter, I also know I will run Sunday morning and have no other nights out eating/drinking next week so I will log Sunday and make up the deficit in the week. If you…

Try and delay it, it's hard to break out of the motivated by food mentality, so when you get to those 100 words, really ask yourself do I want/need that biscuit, have a glass of water, stretch, walk around the block push it so you do another 100 words, then think again. I'm a boredom eater, vegetarian and try as I might I…

I am not a parent and work shorter hours (9am - 5.30pm) but regarding the mid afternoon snack, as others have said pre-plan log it and work it in to your calories, I will sometimes have chocolate or a biscuit (cookie) or sometimes a banana or even both. I have a 1400 day limit, I tend to view my calories more as a weekly…

Snacking out of boredom and larger bags of sweets and crisps. I am a big boredom eater, my job is deathly dull so I spend so much time doing nothing, it's hard not to reach for something, I play the 20 minute game, after I've eaten something I have to wait 20 minutes and have a glass of water, so far it's working. Also it…

B Vitamins, help with fatigue. Look at your diet, fresh fruit, veg etc...

I would book with the gym owner first so that way they can show you correct form.

It's hard when you see someone every day, I live with my best friend who has lost quite a lot of weight over the year and seeing her day to day means I don't see the loss as much, as it's gradual, when I look back on photos through Facebook/Timehop I really see the difference (and I tell her then). Unless you are losing a…

I'm at 1540 calories a day and I'm about the same height (158cm) and I lose and my current weight is lower 59/60kg (132lbs).

I take a complex B vitamin every other day - I am really prone to mouth ulcer (canker sores to Americans), I have no underlying problems but some evidence suggests that it's Vitamin B deficiency - also it was suggested that I take them when I am feeling sluggish, often when I am on my period, they definitely perk me up,…

People do lose weight without counting, less processed food, less empty calorie food, however, this can be restrictive for some people. Have you looked at a programme like Slimming World, from what I understand of it, you just have 'syns' but most food is free or unlimited so it's less about counting like mfp and ww, I'm…

Just to chime in, I have a Vit D deficiency (I take 20000 IU D3 once a week) and I agree sometimes the sun is not enough, I was diagnosed in March and I walk 2 miles to work everyday so I am outside most of the time, I run outside in the mornings (at the time I wasn't as I was exhausted). I am also fair skinned,…

I take Vits A - E - I was diagnosed earlier this year with a Vit D deficiency, I am really prone to mouth ulcers (including one I had in my throat recently - miserable) blood work is fine but evidence suggests could be a Vit B deficiency (I have them less now I have started taking a complex B vitamin). I also take A and E…

Hi OP :smile: I think I have some idea what you mean when it comes to counting, I have some (mild) anxiety/OCD one thing for me has always been numbers (it's weird I memorise numbers/car registration plates, then get stressed when I cannot recall them, there are other things too). I have regularly taken breaks on here as I…

Just to jump in with this, I don't know if anyone else does this but if you want to just add a little bit to a meal how do you log it, e.g. I made curry last night, I eat the same curry tonight except my boyfriend is coming over, he's bigger than me and eats more therefore I will be adding more passata, chickpeas and…

Hi erickirb if you read my full post I was making up stats to see where this I eat 895 or 771 calories was coming from, this isn't my actual stats.

Ok so I just used this: http://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-fitness-calorie-counter, which I presume is the calculator others are using, Stats: current weight 132.3lbs goal weight 115lbs height of 5'0" age 29 (30 in 18 days) losing 2lbs Not active My calorie intake is still 1126 (I was curious and fiddled this stuff, I am…

What calculator are you using? I am a little under 5'3" and I have NEVER found a calculator that suggests I eat any less than around 1280, and that would be if I was completely sedentary, no way can less than an inch 2cm make up 300 calorie difference. Have you compared with other calculators, I used at least 3 from fairly…

THIS! vilifying is the word just fyi :smiley:
