  • Thanks everyone! At the start I restricted to 1200 calories but then read the 'in place of a road map' thread and upped to 1500 (net - i.e I eat back my exercise calories). I don't watch types of food - if I fancy Ben and Jerry's and it fits my calories then I eat it! I don't eat much pasta or rice but still have wholemeal…

  • I love this thread - every picture is an inspiration. I've been logging since February and going to the gym since April. I'm 5'3.5'', started at 165lbs, currently at 137lbs and 25.8% body fat. My ultimate aim is 20% body fat, so by current calculations about 127lbs (although I'm not too bothered about the scales). This is…

  • No-one can give you sensible realistic advice without further information. Weight? Height? TDEE? BMR? Current exercise? Current diet? What are you macros set to and do you fit your diet to them? Without knowing any of these, only thing I can say is eat more protein. It'll fill you up. If you don't like eggs, chicken or…

  • When you feel the urge to eat, log on and look at the success stories forum. Some very inspirational people there... always works for me.
    in Can't get motivated.... Comment by b4u386 June 2013
  • Which calculator did you use? I just did your calculations and even at 'sedentary' (which noone should use unless in bed all day) your BMR is 1512.9 and your TDEE is around 1800. Also, as you don't have a lot to lose you should probably be eating at a 15% deficit rather than a 20%. I only say all of this because our stats…
    in Could anyone take a look at my diary :) Comment by b4u386 April 2013
  • If you aren't eating back your exercise calories, then you're not eating enough. Most are going to point you to 'In place of a roadmap' - it really does work. We have almost exactly the same stats (5'4'', I started at 163 and now 147ish). I eat 1550 calories a day, AND eat back my exercise calories (300/400 a day) so end…
    in Am I hitting the plateau or eating too much? Comment by b4u386 April 2013
  • Had a look at your food diary - try substituting your milk for water with oat so simple - that'll give you 100 more calories in the evening to play with. Also - I eat on the go too but tend to eat 'no bread' sandwiches - I see you like ham and cheese. If you grab a whole cos lettuce then you can tear off the leaves and use…

  • Thanks all. I'm looking at Optimum Nutrition - there are so many types! When I google it the '100% Gold Standard Whey bottle comes up. Is that the right one?!

  • Thank you everyone for sharing and thank you for the adds - looking forward to having people to talk to who are in the boat - all of my friends are uk size 8 (us size 4) so they don't get it!! Bleis - I hear you, I love spin - up until a year ago I was doing what we term as 'mad spin' four times a week. Fortunately (or not…
