  • I think a thread on the best way to eat 1200 is a great idea! I find dieting easier on days I'm At work as I pre-prepare food for it. I have porridge for breakfast, some kind of salad and a yogurt for lunch and then a fairly standard dinner. I try not to waste calories on dressings and sweet drinks. I think I'm worrying…

  • Well my BMR is 1372, sounds more manageable. I used to do a lot of Atkins, me and carbs don't really get on so it suited me. But as with all diets you know, you end up craving the things you shouldn't have, and so it goes back up. Initially I went from 159 down to 136. Back up to 155, and now, so slowly, down to 147. I…

  • Right so if my daily calorie limit is 1200, and I exercise to burn 300, I must eat 1500? If I eat 1500 I'll lose more than if I stick to 1200? My logical mind can't work that out!!

  • See this "eating back your calories" thing doesn't make sense to me. I've read a thread on here Explaining why but I still don't get it. Surely it's the calorie count AND exercise that will help you lose weight faster and better. If I ea whatever I burn then it's pointless surely!?

Only hurdle at the moment is I've got a groin strain which has stopped me exercising - its jut calorie counting from here!! Friday, March 30th: 147 Friday, April 6th: 147 Friday, April 13th: Friday,…

  • Thanks guys! I don't mind it taking time to come off - I feel it will be more likely to stay off! I'll up my fluids and hopefully that will help. Must admit I've never done calorie counting properly before (former Atkins devotee) so it came as somewhat of a shock to see such a gain.!
