  • I always get blisters, from every pair of new shoes I've ever owned really, my feet just seem to be prone to it. Partly it tends to be a matter of wearing in new shoes and softening them up. The thing that I find helps most though is putting plasters over all blisters, any areas that feel like they might blister, then any…

  • 1650kcal regardless of exercise, gone from 145 at the end of Feb to 139 now. Doing C25k 3x a week, weights 3x a week and half an hour of walking a day to get to/from my sixth form. Weight loss seems to be slowing down lately, so I may adjust it at some point, but for now it's doing good for me and I have plenty of energy…

  • I love this one, really easy to use and you can also use it to go cross country: (We can post links here, right?) http://gb.mapometer.com/ Just plan it out beforehand as the above poster said. You can track average pace by just doing a bit of math over the distances you want to track your pace for. :)

  • I just eat 1650 a day regardless of exercise and have steadily been losing 1lb a week for 5 weeks (I started this before joining MFP). http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ You can use this to calculate maintenence calories, then multiply it by 0.8 to get a good start point for calories to lose weight that won't leave you…

  • Sometimes that scale will stall for a few weeks and then suddenly drop. This seems quite likely after you've lost 29lb so quickly.

  • 5'2", 140lb eating 1650+/- 50. Any less and I just get grumpy, but then again I walk to sixth form and back every day, plus have some other form of physical activity (bodyweight workout, cardio). Means I lose 1-1.5lb a week on average, except if I fall off track for a couple of days. :P
    in How many calories do you eat a day? Comment by MissMeg95 March 2013
  • I haven't got gym access, so I use full body bodyweight training (which works as I'm a beginner) 3x a week, HIIT twice a week and a longer endurance session once a week, each on different days. Strength training is by far my favourite, but I do like the general fitness benefits from the cardio, plus I'm not advanced enough…
