This is exactly what I do and always have done......so far avoided injury!! I stretch, do maybe 10-15 mins on cross trainer then do weights and stretch. I do not do hard cardio on weight training days so that I have plenty energy for the weights, I have 3 weight training days and then 2-3 days I do just cardio. I think…

Photographer. Sometimes the taking the photo part can be a good bit of exercise, but the editing is hours of sitting at a desk. I cannot move until I've edited the majority of the pics from a shoot. I get lost. My fav part!!! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ailsa-Hayward-Photography-Dubai/142912729093050

FAB! Thanks!

Thanks again to EVERYONE who gave the same good advice. I'm sorry I didn't realise people were still posting on this.....

One week on! No longer lacking energy. No longer hungry. Losing weight. Feeling better than I've felt for a long time. Thanks to psulemon for your invaluable advice and help!! :)

Hi. When I first joined MFP back in August last year I ate at 1200 cals a day and rarely ate back my exercise cals. I lost 1lb, not even every week but most. I couldn't understand why when I was eating so little, working out a lot and still not losing as much as everyone else. In Dec I hit a wall and my weight stalled for…

I'm on here WAY more than facebook these days!! Far more interesting with people doing the same thing as I'm trying to do and lots of useful info!! :)

I live in Dubai, near a beach and spend my weekends there and by the pool...... but, I'd love to be back in Scotland! Love to see some greenery again and have FRESH air and walk in the rain! :happy:

How strange, just talking to my husband about the same thing last night. Tried on some long boots in store and...no chance of them zipping up still....frustrating!!! My husband was shaking his head saying, "but there is no fat on your calves"! Anyway, interested in finding out what others say! I know there is a boot store…

You've said exactly what I've been reading!!! It's easy to get a bit lost though...I shall try your suggestion and see how that goes. It's scary for me to eat that much but I'll give it a go. I actually had my macros set to 45 carbs 25 protein and 30 fat but I'll change to what you said. As a veggie I find it hard to get…

You could always eat them back tomorrow. Like a previous poster said, zigzagging calories is not a bad thing!

Okay, so my BMR with MFP says 1,546. From that website the Harris-Benedict reading was 1,622 and the Katch-McCardle was 1,637. According to the outcome I should be eating 2,164 cals per day...holy crap! That's quite scary for me. I've been zigzagging (freedieting.com) and yesterday went for the fat loss section instead of…

I thoroughly agree. When I lost the first 25ish pounds I was eating 1200 a day, sometimes not even eating my exercise cals back and I know that it has contributed to this plateau. It's scary to start eating more but everyone I speak to, almost, and every article I read suggests that this is what I should try and probably…

I've been told to read this to help the pounds shift, not to starve yourself but do it this way. http://2alamen.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/burn-the-fat-feed-the-muscle-tom-venuto.pdf It's long but I'm printing each chapter as I go along!

Thank you ladies!! I'll look into intermittent fasting as I know nothing about it really. I'd love to not weight myself for 6 weeks, I think I may give that a go. I was thinking the other day of just giving my scales to my friend and telling her not to let me have them for a while. My husband tried hiding them but I found…

Thanks, I've done the dropping to 1200 cals things and it did nothing for me....I've been told that it was eating only 1200 that got me into this plateau in the first place......who knows. Thanks for your advice though!!:smile:

Me!!! Although I live in Dubai now!

Awesome job!!!! I love seeing posts like this, gives us all a reason to keep working hard! :happy:

Ah, I see!!! Thanks for the link to the site, makes it a little clearer to understand....and I may be doing it right after all!

Harsh, but very true :laugh:

I used to have great boobs, loved them and so did boyfriends and eventually my husband...imagine my horror when I bent over in front of my husband and he took his socks off and asked if I wanted to borrow them to stuff my bra!!! It made me laugh, as he was just messing with me, but it also made me notice just how little of…

Amazing, that must be such an incredible feeling. Well done to you!! :)

Ha, exactly!!!!

I have a desk job....I'm lucky enough to be able to work only 3 days a week however. I couldn't bare being stuck at a desk 5 days a week. When I am in work I drink a tonne of water and as the loo is waaay down the end of the corridor the 7-8 trips a day I make are a good addition to sitting on my butt all day (my…
