That's what I'm going to attempt, It will just be one day a week of no logging, just quick adding! That's probably the only thing that's better about the MFP iphone app than using a computer, you can see your weekly average calories and macros etc. and it tells you how much you are under/over on your calories for the week…

Ahh, I didn't mean I would have an "extra" 3000 cals, I meant for that day I would have 3000 cals i.e. my 1600 recommended cals plus the 1000 I "earned" through exercise and the 400 cals I didn't use on the four days I ate 1500 but now I've confused myself. I understand that these are just approximations even though I'm…

I understand that it will fluctuate and I have a sort of 5lbs window that I'm happy for my weight to stay between. :smile:

This is what I've been trying and it's working so far so fingers crossed that the dinners out don't ruin it! :smile: This seems the best way for me.

I have a PolarFT4 Heart Rate Monitor that says I burn 500+ calories in just over an hour of cardio. I still take this an an overestimation though because I know it seems high so I don't eat them all back. Like I said in my OP, I eat about 100 or so calories more on gym days than non gym days. I'm going to invest in a…

I'm 5'10 and everything that fits me around the way, comes up short on me. *deep sigh* But still, I wouldn't make myself any shorter if given the option!

For Lent I am giving up food shopping - like I am a serial food hoarder. I buy so much and it either ends up going to waste or I find myself forcing myself to eat the same thing everyday for about a week before it goes out of date. I'm a nightmare.

Added! Also trying to maintain my weight - technically, I could stand to gain a couple of pounds but I'm still trying to work out my calories :smiley:

Glasgow! :D

That's true, my calories aren't exactly on the 1500/1600 mark every day. Thanks for your help! I'm going out with my boyfriend and my parents on Sunday to a Fish and Chip style restaurant - I've been before and the portions are huge! I read somewhere, and when I entered it into MFP, that the average fish supper has about…

Welcome back! Feel free to add me, I'm currently trying to transition to maintenance but I could definitely use some friends for motivation!

Good for you, deciding to come back! I'm 5'10 and when I started my journey I was around about the same weight as you. I know how tricky it is trying to lose weight being in a relationship - especially when my boyfriend has a crazy good metabolism and can eat what and when he likes and still have the figure of a stick…

Thanks for the add! I feel that. I wanted to wait until after the new year to start upping my calories but with Christmas coming up, I thought I would start upping them back in November so that I can enjoy myself more through the festive season! Should hopefully be up between 1450 and 1500 by Christmas Day. :)

I probably fit into this category now and I'm looking for some maintenance friends! My stats: Age: 22 Height: 5'10 SW: roughly 180lbs CW: 117lbs Technically for my height I'm underweight, but I've only just started upping my calories and I'm hoping to maintain around 120-125lbs. I try to work out 3x per week. 20 minutes…

Thanks guys! I went and did my usual cardio and just made it an arm day :laugh: I think going to the gym helped ease the pain a bit so I'm glad that I did, definitely going to be keeping up the squatting! Again, thanks for all the tips :flowerforyou:
-
Thanks for all your tips! I'm definitely going to look into getting a better strength/weight programme in place and lower my time spent doing cardio per week! :happy:

Ah thanks! Yes, I've read elsewhere that the tummy's usually the last to go but I thought sit ups would help it along and that I was holding myself back by not doing them! I'll definitely look into Pilates and work on my patience :laugh:
