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…

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…
