Deffo did not go over i can assure you!! I lost weight day after drinking due to dehydration so was suprised that scale moved back up to plateau weight today. I do weigh every day it is my motivation keeps me going either way i.e gained makes me want to lose it staying same makes me want to lose and so same as losing it…

HI DO NOT give up you will only regret it later on Keep motivated try sticking to a routine of daily exercise with 1 day off [per week, if you find it harder to get up and motivate yourself to do exercise i recommend doing it first thing in the morning. Thats exactly what i do as in past by the time P.M comes i literally…

Thank You for all your help.

I do HIIT everyday ive 2 very good dvds that do this and i love doing them. I never deny myself anything and always have it in moderation. Im same as you my vice is larger or a vodka i now tend to go for a white spirit with a slimline tonic as wayyyyy healthier than larger.

Ive noted the website down thank you. What could you recommed for strength trainning as i want to lose weight tone up and sculpt my figure. Ive never had to lose weight before so basically all new to me. You seem to have achieved an awful lot well done!! Hoping i am as sucessful as you. I never really ate alot of fruit but…

Thanks you have actually made me happier now i feel more motivated now. Today ive eaten alot of fruit and im having lots of veggies with fish for my tea. But still under my goal by 400 cals plus half of ex cals! I do not restrict my food types i will have a bit of everything and everything in moderation. Il have something…

ok so mfp has put me at 1520 cal per day + exercise cals so what your saying is eat 1560 cals per day and 50% of my exercise cals back but no more than 75% of my ex cals back? I never seem to be able to reach my normal goal always under by 100 cal at least can you recommend any foods that will boost my calories but aren't…

I am 24 years old 5ft 7 and 157lb ive reached healthy bmi so im happy but still want to get to pre preg weight which my goal is 9 stone to 9 1/2 stone, i was at my happiest then. I used to do 20 mins exercise per day but now upped it to 60 mins per day 4 x a week and 40 mins ex 2 days a week and 1 day off

I wouldn't class it as very active max i would say moderatley but i have no idea which one to use!! I do 60 mins max exercise then just pottering around house due to being on mat leave. How many calories would you suggest i eat? Im just getting frustrated as i was doing so well with the weight loss now just stopped

Iv'e done this and still nothing. Ive added extra exercise this week so im hoping this will help me.

Righ check avoid coconut and creamy curries. Any other people like to help me

No it won't make you gain weight as in fat weight but will make your body hold onto water which in turn makes your weight seem higher. Iv often worried about this but drinking lots of water clenses body of excess salt. Body would adjust to the extra salt after a few days

Leeds Yorkshire feel free to add me

Right so shake things up so can you tell me how i can shake it up i currently do 30 day shred dvd and josie gibson dvd i do at least 1 20 minute routine per day but recently trying to either do 40 mins so one exercise of each dvd and if i have time an extra session at end of the day.

Hi it can be confussing can't it!! It took me a while to figure out that you have bmr (what your body burns off naturally with out doing anything i.e if you were in a coma) and then there is TDEE which is total daily energy expenditure. What you need to do is figure both these out can do this on any search engine. You need…

So how much protien should i be aiming for per day and carbs etc. Also my calories are 1680 as in my first post is this enough 5 ft 7 158lbs bmr 1550 tdee is around 2170

Iv taken measurements but no changes yet as i know body can change without scales moving. I just really need to get through plateau and carry on to my goal but at this rate i feel like im not getting anywhere very frustrating.
