  • Face, *kitten*, Arms, Hips and still working on the belly (hardest place to lose)
  • At 15 stones and sedentary you probably need about 2000 calories to maintain weight, plus your 300 calories walking is 2300 per day, your eating less than 1200 calories so there is a 1000 per day deficit. Dont get hung up on the numbers, create a deficit but dont worry what it is just as long as its a deficit and stick at…
  • Bottom Line is that only need to create a deficit - simple However - dieting is not easy at all and if you give yourself a few calories back to allow your diet to be effective and less difficult then thats only a good thing.
  • MFP may not exaggerate - mine is spot on but you need to use a HRM that accounts for your Vo2 max (like a polar) as this governs the rate your body deals with calories and causes hugely differing readouts on HRM. According to most HRM because of my weight (im a big unit but very fit) it guesses my Vo2 max at 22, however…
  • Ive now lost 61lbs in 103 days - I train using an HRM so I know how many calories ive burned, im 100% honest with my diary on here and have found that by not eating back my exercise calories its paid dividends. I then have one cheat day per week during which I do an extended training session on that day and then use all my…
  • your equation is pants
  • Now is the time to make the change, use the disappointment you feel as the driver. At Christmas I felt the same as you - the biggest I had ever been at 24st 9lbs (im 6ft 2), I have to admit im fairly fit as ive always had a training background but never been able to take control of what goes in my mouth. Then I discovered…
  • miles out - fell short by 350 calories on a workout I do everyday that always hits between 1220 & 1300 calories Endomondo is pants although it doesnt ask for the Vo2 max which i think is the reason
  • I noticed no one says they have used an actual heart rate monitor with endomondo and said whether it works any better based on actual heart rate input ? Ive just bought a Polar H7 heart rate strap which works bluetooth with Polar beat on my phone and is very accurate, Endomondo has just integrated this in their latest…
  • Just for reference I have the same issue with Calorie burn on my Polar H6 strap and android Polar Beat. I found that the problem is that the Vo2 max setting is on the base setting of 20 - this is someone who hasnt moved out of a bed for about 5 years, I had a Vo2 max test done and mine was 54 - I adjusted the Vo2 max…
