I had mine out on 11th January by keyhole (laproscopically).... I only had had one attack (in November) before I had the surgery, but the scan showed I had over 50 stones.... infact I actually had 100+ little stones. My recovery has been fairly easy.... I didn't even take any pain medication after waking up from the…

Like the other posts have already mentioned, don't worry about weighing yourself because you will be able to tell in other ways if what you're doing is working. For example, if…

Start with walking... it's what I started with (last January) and from there I increased it as I got fitter...

The settings below are what most people have set to lose successfully 20 lbs or less to lose - change settings to 0.5 lb loss per week 20 - 50 lbs to lose - change settings to lb loss per week 50 – 75 lbs to lose - change settings to 1.5 lb loss per week 75 lbs or more to lose - change settings to 2 lb loss per week

Eat the calories back... because although it's great that you're losing a lot each week, some of that will be muscle mass. Which is something you don't want to lose, because the more muscle mass you have - the better your metabolism works... and this makes it easier to lose weight & keep it off.

Actually.... it's 250 cals per day ( x 7 days) for a half pound loss

What is your activity level set to...?

Read this (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/186814-some-mfp-basics) so you can understand how to use MFP properly.... especially the section under deficit. I can't give you any other advice because I can't see your diary.

Thanks....!

ChaLean Extreme Burn Intervals (46 mins) = 332 calories My muscles ache all over.....!!!! It feels good though..... :bigsmile: Oh... and it's my BIRTHDAY today....!

Turbo Jam Cardio Party Remix (30 minutes) - 8:30am = 302 cals ChaLean Extreme Burn It Off / Plyo (27 minutes) - 7:5pm = 246 cals

If you know how MFP works... then you would eat (some of) them back... Do you understand what is written here?>>> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/186814-some-mfp-basics

I started at 247 last year January... it started to show (to me) after about 20 lbs... I'm 5'7" According to TargetWeight (iPhone app), I have lost weight at a rate of 0.9 lbs per week over the last 398 days... that includes the standstills...

Hi, I started my weight loss journey over a year ago with Rosemary Conley.... and as with most diet plans, one size does not fit all Who says you've got to exclude any foods...? It's all about having the not-so-good food only in small amounts. When I started with Rosemary Conley, I lost 9 lbs in the first 2 weeks and 14…

The BMF is showing you your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) - this is not the same as your BMR http://www.quickbmr.com/what-is-tdee.html According to the website above your TDEE would be as follows Sedentary = 1680 (1400 x 1.2) Lightly Active = 1925 (1400 x 1.375) Moderately Active = 2170 (1400 x 1.55) Very Active…

FYI - HRMs are not really accurate for calorie burns recording strength training, because they mainly monitor the increase in cardiac output/oxygen uptake - which isn't consistent during the workout.

I love your muscles...!

Thanks, you've done really well too...!!!

It's not an argument per se - it's a question of trying to explain so people can fully understand how MFP works and then apply it correctly to themselves. The post below clearly explains how to set up your own details on MFP and why. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/186814-some-mfp-basics We already know the…

Ok, can I explain the difference between MFP and any other calorie controlled diet. Most calorie controlled diet clubs will advise you to eat your BMR + daily activity calories, and then exercise to create a deficit, without eating the exercise calories back. For example - BMR = 1600 calories Exercise = 400 calories Daily…
