Ok, so I've just done a check of an example week of my calories consumed and I average 1500 calories consumed. I'm 5foot 8 and 138lbs. Adding 550 calories burnt on exercise per day I guess I am undereatimg and may be in starvation mode. I feel slimmer and my clothes fit better so it's just very disconcerting that the…

What I mean is that if you don't lose any weight then it doesn't matter how much toned muscle you have it won't show under the layer of fat.

My point is that I eat healthily and haven't changed my diet. However, I am burning 750 calories a day with running so surely I would lose weight. I've lost 5lbs so what I'm asking is how much of a body change should One see at this stage? I'm very negative about myself and don't trust my own opinion but surely I will be…

9 stone 12, but I want to be 9 stone 7

By the way I'm 5foot 8 and female

Well thank you for your help so far x

I have quite a warped view of my body or so I'm told. Maybe I'm just looking for compliments, but does my height, weight, fat % and BMI suggest that I look slim already?

So basically to see any good results of exercise i.e slimmer thighs, flatter tummy, nipped in waist, longer, leaner looking limbs, you have to actually strip off the fat too? Isn't it possible to just do lots of exercise, eat healthily and look better and fitter for it?

Thank you So are you saying that you don't put on muscle from running or cycling, but only from weight lifting? Does running and cycling tone you up at least? It has taken 1 month to go on. I measure using body fat scales, it has taken me 3 months to lose that body fat Thank you x

Anyone?

5ft 7.5 Start weight 143lbs Goal weight 126lbs Eating 1500 or under per day Very frustrated that I can't get back below the 10 stone mark :(

Is there a way of finding out the maximum calories I could consume and still lose weight?
