Sleep's good, averaging about 7 hours? You're probably right about doing too much, I do tend to push myself a bit when it comes to my exercise routine. If I drop some T25, do you think my intake will be enough to gain some muscle? I can't quite figure out if eating at maintenance is technically enough, or if I'd need to be…

I would probably be dead at 5%. :drinker:

It rose a little when I started 5x5, but as of my weigh in this morning, it's down to 131.8.

This ^^^

If not, my weight loss has been a lie!

stromae - tous les mêmes

Well yeah, if you're going to get vitamins of course it's better to get them direct from the source. Vitamin pills are only SUPPOSED to be used when you fail to reach the recommended amount through your diet. If you're blending them, eating them raw, steaming, whatever, it doesn't matter as long as you're eating them. How…

I read labels, but only for the words WHEAT, OAT, GLUTEN, MILK, or LACTOSE. I really don't care what else is in there. Also I can pronounce scientific words with relative ease, so pronunciation isn't the best test for me...

Basically anything gluten free. I don't even buy bread because it costs me $7 for a 400g loaf...

I don't know the science but it sure ****ing feels like it :grumble:

Basically this ^^^. Get in there, kick *kitten*, and show her who's boss! ETA: I never had this problem at my gym, because I made friends with all the staff, so I basically got upgraded to full protection status whenever I was there :glasses:

"You have a naturally fit body but" :laugh: Yep, naturally fit, that's why I'm here!

Me dissing him has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with the fact he's a spoilt *kitten*.

Agreed. I don't see how they can be different, since they start out using the same formula.

Can't you just go back in your diary and log it?

When did this happen?

Apologies, I should have worded that more clearly, thanks for the correction :)

Hurrah for maths!

A HRM won't be that accurate with HIIT, they're designed for steady state cardio only. There will always be a lag in readings when it comes to your HR, due to it rising and falling rapidly. And if you can do an hour of zumba after a HIIT workout, you're probably not working hard enough in all honestly.

A calorie deficit is basically what you create to lose weight, by consuming fewer calories than your body needs, therefore causing it to turn to fat stores for energy. MFP has already calculated your deficit and included it in your calorie goal.

Also impressed with the thread revival, goin' strong!

You answered your own question in the title. You haven't gained fat after one day. You've retained water. You don't have to change anything or be 'extra good' this weekend, just do as you usually would. The water you've retained should go away in a day or so, so don't stress.

If I gained weight eating 1200 I would see a doctor...

Roller derby has given me all of these skills.

I'm not disagreeing, simply stating a fact.

If exercise is the only cause of your weight loss, then you'd be eating at maintenance and your deficit is only being created by calories burned through exercise.

So modern man CAN survive on a vegan diet, with suppliments/planning/access to certain foods. But historically, humans weren't made to survive off a vegan diet. If they were, there wouldn't be the B12 issue.

Unless otherwise stated, I go by the way it is in the packet. So, frozen chicken, frozen veges, dry pasta, etc.

Your weight and measurements can go up when you retain water or it's close to that TOM, which is probably the case here. Don't worry it shouldn't stick around for long. However it should be noted that your BF% probably isn't correct. Assuming you're using scales of some sort to measure it and not callipers, any fluctuation…
