Hi, I dont think I would worry too much If I were you, maybe up your calories by just 100-150/day that can be easily and healthily (sp?) by adding a handful of nuts or some olive oil to a dressing or avacado...good fats! x

HI definitely take the weight loss slowely eat healthy and regularly... and drink planty of water, Breastfeeding burns approx 500 calories a day so please dont restrict your calories you can eat 2000/day and the weight will still come off...good luck xx

Definitely ER, may be anxiety but could be something worse my sister had similar symptoms for over a week and eventually collapsed with pulmonary embolism...as i said prob anxiety but dont risk it xx

Interesting, id never heard of this diet, is it only common in the states?....I guess its a diet designed for the obese and therefore on prescription from a doctor only??... the risks of extreme diets in this case may be overridden by the health risk of the excess weight. Does it induce morning sickness?? there is a theory…

Hi, im 5'7" too im 142lbs looking to lose another 7 lbs...lost 9lb so far on MFP...whats your goal weight? feel free to add me x

I was weighing in daily to begin with about a month ago when I joined and i was seeing a difference daily then I had two weeks with no change..infact I gained (I think mosty due to TOM) So now i weigh weekly, my body is gaining tone with all the exercise so im not too worried about what the scales say at the moment...a…

I havent really got any advice but to say this site is fab! very supportive and has really helped me eat healthier and get motivated to exercise regularly Youve come to the right place...GOOD LUCK!!! x

well done...what an achievment!! kepp it up xx

I started today but had no hand weights!! (I orderd them from amazon at the same time) so I used tins of dog food....then just as I finished my weights were delivered lol I followed it with a 20 mun jog so will see how sore I am tomorrow ;)

Fast metabolism would equal weight loss when eating back exercise calories...surely?? Long term low calorie intake slows the metabolism as the body adjusts to survive on less energy this is why people find thier weight loss stops... But seriousy what ever works for you.... we are all so different thats what makes life…

Yup, thats day to day lifestyle exercise is what you then add in your daily diary and I find it a really good way of sticking to a healthier lyfestyle and weight loss program as it motivates me to exersize so I CAN eat the calories back...I really struggle on 1200 lol... and im seeing gradual weight loss results and…

The only problem if you eat too little is you may be losing weight but it could be lean tissue/muscle rather than fat, That is the main reason this site reccoments eating back exercise calories. Do you really do nothing all day other than exercise?? the bmr would mean resting (literally bed rest) ! I work on a busy…

I cant see your diary, but if you are on a 1200 cal goal at 5'9" I would consider upping your goal, Im only 5'7" and on my rest days when I do no cardio I really struggle to stick to 1200...like today for example I am at 1400+ I havent changes my goal cos on exersize days with the extra calories ir works for me, I just…

Apparently you use your longest finger. I dont think its a very accurate way to judge your frame size though, If so im a small frame...but my hips are huge in comparison to my top half so I reckon my top half is small framed and bottom large lol x

Hi ...Just ordered 30 day shred off Amazon for the bargain price of £6.50 delivered... can wait for it to arrive now ..... Does anyone know if I need any free weights to use with the dvd? :smile:

thanks all, food for thought, I like the look of p90x but its expensive, Ive go two left feet so zumbz/dance are out...30 day shed sounds interesting..I think i'll have a look on amazon xxx

Wow, you have sure been through a lot and what you have realised about you relationshio with weight makes sense, it must have been difficult for you to admit it to everyone on here and that may be the first step in overcoming your worries. Brave girl x x

Just noticed you are trying to maintain at 109 lbs I think the typical equatuion is 14 cals per lb?? (correct me if im wrong) that would mean you need at least 1500cals a day and eating back exercise calories not to lose any more weight xx

try to eat a bigger breakfast, and add high calorie healthy snacks like nuts and seeds when eating back your exercise calories...it wont do you any harm,....If your net intack is below 1200 you could be doing more harm than good x good luck x

Gosh I just worked out I apparently have a small frame so my ideal weight at 5'7.5" is 123-136lbs...123.seems small to me?? ...apparenly if your thumb and longest finger overlap when wrapped around your wrist that means you have small frame...problem is I have tiny wrists and massive hips lol

I find the opposite, my treadmill always says I burn more than MFP... but that may be because I use the incline on the treadmill and vary my speeds and stuff min by min and im lazy so in MFP i just input 30 jog or hour jog...so I go with the MFP values as I know the treadmill values are based on a 5'10" 170lb man (Or…

Im not sure the advice too join the binge eating thread was appropriate advice???? 10 mini muffins....thats not too bad you are only human and they taste bloody nice (doesnt equate to a binge eating disorder)..... Just log the calories do a little extra cardio today and focus on healthy lunch and dinner. Dont beat yourself…

Im 5'7.5" lol almost qualify for this thread. Mygoal is 135lbs im 143lbs at the mo and although this is a healthy wieght, I need to tone. I am pear shaped and carry unwanted wobbly bits on my botttom and thighs so my shape is more relevant than the number on the scales 135lbs is just a figure ill see how it goes x

I have been eating my exercise calories back... I think it is A) Healthier B) it encourages me to exercise daily so that I can eat more, I struggle sticking to 1200 calories/day, I love my food! I eat back healthy calories generally. C) Im still losing slowely and building muscle. my shape is changing! wieght is just a…

Do you suffer with food intolerances?? Just wondering why you were suffering with such bloating and considering a liquid diet? x

I wouldnt 1500 is a sensible amout, Just make sure you eat back any calories earned from exercise. If you have only been doing this a week or two the initial loss is always more then it will slow down ....keep it up, unless you feel unwell on the calorie allowance you are on im sure its healthy enough x

:laugh: I lke the way you write ' when she was alive she was a 16...lol Id hate to know what size she is now ...sorry bad taste:noway:

Lack of iron or protien in your diet maybe?? Just a thought. I reckon cravings are generally a good indication of what our body needs. x

Cheers, I will google it :wink:
