thats why im so sceptical of the eat more theory, i am a pure scientist and matter can only change form, not be created from nothing. i know the purists on here would say that higher calories= more enegry available for harder training which in turn = higher results acheived because of the fuel available but that at best is…

trust me, i dont believe in eating more to lose weight, it literally doesnt make sense, if your argument is that eating too little slows metabolism then it would be impossible to starve to death and we would be able to live on nothing, if you your argument is that its a balance and not taking it to that extreme, then…

that is an awesome quote ... thanks very much, guess i need to find me a GP

im certain im going to go for the upping calories attempt now, that seems to be the general consensus, i wont have any problem eating that much, plus ill try and log at the weekends, it might be then that im eating all my weekly calories! thanks everyone

i know it, god damn sneaky syringes... there so sly and they just pump me full of calories

i defintley take on bored all the advice presented, i really appreciate all the time you guys and girls have taken to think and advise, i think i will find a pro-rugby equivalent to myself, see if i can find how much they eat and the exercise regime they follow, Just for further information as some have questioned it, i do…

as skeptical as i am of the eat more philosophy, i do see a lot of it about on MFP, it seems to work for a lot of people i will try it for a month, ive got quite a big appetite normally so i can easily eat 2500-3000 calories quite cleanly, i will try it for 4 weeks and report back, seeing as the general consensus is to eat…

thanks, im hoping i can use it 7 days a week soon when i get an iphone and down load the app as its hard to be near my computer at the weekend. what i dont understand about eating back exercise calories, if i dont, then i would still lose weight. i understand starvation mode, in terms of your body retaining more fat etc…

i know, it doesnt make any sense, unless im some kind of secret eater. ive been sticking between 1400 and 1800 calories,

i knew someone would say not eating enough, logic doesnt allow me to gain weight at a calorie deficit surely? you cant even build muscle if your not eating more calories then you burn. id have to eat about 4500 calories if i ate back my exercise,

definite 10

looking fit is a complete myth, one of my good friends is a male model, he has 5% body fat rippling muscles everywhere but gets out of breath walking to the shops, he tried running 1.5 miles ( 2.4km) with me and finished about 3 minutes after me, looking fit and being fit are different things, im in the category of obese…

yeh i think its the rugby one that is the most dubious, ive workn my watch during a non contact game and i covered 3.5miles in just under 60 minutes of playing, now i would say thats fairly accurate, and i would also say that the calories associate from my HRM (415) must be closer ... maybe ill just add what i can from the…

i have a HRM and a GPS watch which suits me for running but i cant where it for 'rugby' for example, i wear it during circuit traing and MFP isnt too far off the truth, i just find it hard that with 30 minutes on a cross trainer 1hr circuits session 1 hr of rugby it adds 2,500 calories to my diet? ive been exercising like…

maybe i should have asked what everyones end goals were? that would incoporate even those who are MFP for life, although i would like to see how many people last more then 5 years on here? thansk for discussing though, some really interesting viewpoints and strategys and i hope they work for everyone :)

date

i weigh myself every day as a routine, whilst im brushing my teeth in the morning i step on the scales, i only record once a week though, on a wednesday, it isnt important how much your weight changes day to day, particularly as you can lose a few pounds just by sleeping. a good rule to remember is a litre of water weighs…

24 left 23.8 right, do i win?

more friends the merrier , you can add me if you want im from the UK, always available for support and accountabillity

thats amazing that it worked, when i wrote the topic i thought to myself someone must have tried this. the biggest thing for me, is realising that the end date isnt that far away, i can actually see it on the same calendar as this year and thats big motivation thanks for sharing about aiming for 2lbs and sometimes getting…

thats the thing, if you have a moving goal thats still fine, just keep moving the goal post on your record.

absolutely this, dont worry about what you cant have and start with what you do have... it takes 11 days to make a habbit but about 6 weeks to break one

i relax by coming on here to see everyones pearls of widom *gush* :)

i love the free range argument, it really makes my day, if we are worried about a chickens welfare, in terms of its living environment and quality of life, surely kidnapping its children everyday is the worst thing we can do? if chickens are emotional enough to be worried about sunshine then surely they would have a bond…

i work in the adult film industry so i wear my birthday suit all day... everyday :)

lets stop worrying about social conventions for food ?? that would be my first unblocker who says you cant eat an evening meal for breakfast? why cant you have chicken, fish, spiced meat etc etc, all over continental europe they do and getting protein in the morning does wonders for your metabolism. then its all about the…

feel free to add me as well, ill motivate you for that beach dream :)

just out of interest, widom of crowds dictates that if you add all the guesses together and divide by the number of replies we should get your weight nearly exactly.. lets try this ... which equals 159.2 based on the 18 replies so far please let us know how close this is!!

cake or death... HAHAHAHAHA

i spend most of my time on here, i guess i almost work for MFP as it occupies a lot of my work time
