It's NOT counterproductive!! MFP has already taken off the calories you need to NOT eat to lose weight.

I got this wrong with reference to me. I'm not skinny fat :O) But looking at pictures of what people mean by it you can see what they mean. Softer bodies as opposed to toned ones.

Thanks everyone. It's everyone's post - I just worry about posting another question the same as everyone else!! :O) I've changed my goals and am going to hit the gym hard tomorrow. I have been trying to add some interval training so will go with that and will up my weights too. Thanks all. Amanda

I'm just going over my goals. I upped my daily sugar goal because of fruit but am not sure if I should reduce it again. I will do as suggested by an earlier poster - thank you - and sort the protein out. I'll also look at carbs. Thank you.

Thanks. I really didn't want to post about this. i've put it off for days. I've searched the forums and online and come up with the same confusing information. People post that you can't lose weight and gain muscle. I KNOW I have. I have hard muscle where I didn't before and I can lift more - muscle must have increased if…

No change for me up or down when I eat and exercise.

THIS!!

Looking good girl!

All cotton tampons are fine to use. If you can sort the pain a little maybe these would help?

Go get some exercise :O) walk, run, crawl!! Feel better. x

I do this. Plan tomorrow today. Or plan the day in the morning. I was really obsessed to begin with but now it's just way of life!!

That's brilliant :O) Thanks for this. Made me smile.

Fiona Phillips used to wind me up terribly on morning television and I had to turn her off. BUT - I'm with her on this. Shocking.

Part of being a community is that everyone can join in. I sometimes feel people want a personal response - it makes people feel welcome and loved. Especially when they first join and know no one.

Imagine how you're gonna feel in one year when you look yourself in the mirror and say 'Damn, you look hot!!' Or 3 months when you're already a quarter of the way there!

If everyone used search and found old topics - surely there would be no need for the forums to accept new posts?

There are online interval podcasts you could use. I've found them useful. They beep when you need to change pace. try www.motiontraxx.com

That!

:drinker: To you.

I'm a member of a Seb Coe Gym. They are charging a range of memberships but I paid up front and as I've been a member a couple of times before I got a year for £330. No Joining fee. Never pay those!! It's got a gym, weights, pool, steam, sauna, jacuzzi, tennis courts and has classes too which are free to peak members.

Hi I use a HRM and stop it once I'm below about 115 BPM which means I don't record a lot of cals lost. I eat back everything I do log and lose. I'd say the machines are more likely inaccurate unless you're a male in which case they might not be 'as' inaccurate. MFP is over too. Maybe average online calculators? You won't…

I'm sorry but this has made my day. Thank you for posting and I hope you have better workouts now. :O)

I'm confused now! when posts left, right and centre are saying you need to work muscles as well as cardio to help burn more energy but then you get a calorie deficit to lose weight - how do we still lose fat AND MUSCLE?? I started MFP in January and by April had lost 26lb by eating all calories and doing a teeny bit of…

Brilliant! well done. :O)

Hi

Thanks :O)

Practice? Grrrrr

Thanks all! Appreciate the replies. Will put what you've said into practise. Amanda :O)
