Oh and I get told, but you have african curves. True but I would still have those curves at 65kg with a healthier heart.

People do not always know how big they are and having a loving supportive family what support you and feed you your favourites. Do the walking for you and always give you the front seat is not always helpful. If the whole family and all friends are big them it is " normal. I weighed 120kg dropped to 80kg which was still…

Yes I do once I know them and especially if they are putting on weight fast
-
Yes but don't get confused. Muscle is more dense than fat so if comparing volume (size) muscle does weigh more than fat. What I mean is that at the same size (volume) a body builder/athelete will weigh more than a couch potato but will be healthier which is why athletes pay more attention to body fat %.than to BMI ( body…

WHY?

correct!!!!

Point taken, I meant if you have a 0 balance you have a pass mark, in school that would be a "C' and as in life not everyone can be an A-student or wants to an A student but I feel that we should encouge everyone to reach their full potential. the reason we are all overweight is that we have been " under achieving". I…

Don't knock yourself down, an hour walking at a brisk pace is quite a work out. I started to cycle to work. manage most days and it is great because it is actually down time before I start work. and I get to work on a adrenaline high

forgot to mention that I injured myself exercising ( tore my right achilles) so I now have a deep respect for what my body tells me. eg I am learning to tell when I am hungry and when I beeing greedy.

I hope I don't upset anyone but when I hear that voice I listen. Even in a Zumba class I just slow my pace. 5 years ago i lost 40kg in 5-6 months by pushing hard and not listening to the voice ( usually pain) telling me to stop. but all thw weight came back because I went back to 'normal life". this time my stratagy is to…

try increasing your exercise intensity ( not duration) and giving yourself a rest a rest day or 2,

I didn't think 300cal

If you are hungry or feeling tired then the sensible thing to do is to eat better which may or not include eating the exercise calories. It should not be a target to consume them all
-
I agree!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I disagree, eat at least 1200 calories , exercise as much as you can/like. The exercise calories are a bonus, eat/use them if you are hungry. if you eat them back you will still lose weight because 1200 is still less that you daily requirement but you will do better is you do not eat them and more importantly by learning…

I think you should only eat them if you you need to ie you are hungry. quoting your trainer "it is okay" he/she did not say it was essential. Remember that reason you are over weight is that you eat or in the past have eaten more than your body needs so now you are trying to reverse the process. ie supplying less energy (…

0 count means you have broken even. To do better don't eat them unless you are hungry, making sure you make a good food choice. by not eating them you even out your consumption for days that you go over eg at a dinner party .

Do not be confused. My take on this based on a law of thermodynamic ENERGY CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR BE DESTROYED> RATHER ONE FORM OF ENERGY IS CONVERTED TO ANOTHER so food is chemical energy hence the energy values are in calories. Fat is also energy. when you eat food ( energy) it cannot be destroyed just changed into…
-
if you are eating normal portions of regular well balanced meals it will be hard to NOT eat enough. there is nothing wrong with eating your recommended daily allowance ( in good food) then exercising for 8 hours if you can!!!. Your trace elements will be from your meals and your energy will be from your bum BUT I somehow…

I haven't read your post but I think it is very important to respond to hunger or lack there of. The reason many of us are over weight is because be over eat mostly because we are gready, sadly misinformed or emotionally challenged but we have also been trained from an early age to over eat ( if you do not finish you…

NO!!!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO EAT THE CALORIES YOU BURN If you are overweight it means you body has been supplied more energy that it needs and has stored it as fat. Losing weight means getting rid of that fat. Simply put supply less energy ( eat less/eat less energy dense food) so you body mobilises energy from the stores (…
-
This is a common theme and I am curious about were it come from and the logic behind it . Why would you have to eat back the calories you have burnt. makes no sense to me. if you are overweight your have a lot of stored energy ( fat ) to burn. You got overweight by suppling your body with more energy than you needed plain…
