Metamucil and water.

Actually i do make time to go to the gym, don't know what gave you the idea i didn't, before the last week and a bit i went at least 3 times a week, as you'd be ab;e to see in my diary Also, when my partner is at work is around 3am, I leave for the gym when he leaves for work so I don't make any more noise, and come home…

LOTTA answers. I'll try answer them all. Basically, I log everything I eat besides water, which I have about 1.2l a day. since it has cups on the app, and I am not sure what the measurements are in comparison, I leave it. I rarely drink alcohol, maybe once a month, but I log it when I do. I log every meal, but usually I…

This!!! my WHY: I want to be able to take a photo, and feel like I look good. I know that is bigger self esteem issue than just my weight, as I am skinny fat so you can't even really tell in pictures, but to me it matters. I hate being in a group picture and feeling like the biggest one there. I hate taking photos with my…

That's still awesome. What cycle were you on for IF?

So I have decided to do intermittent fasting, as I am basically already doing it most days. I've had a look at some easy quick meal ideas to make sure I am eating healthy, and hopefully this will work for me. Thank you all for your help, it is greatly appreciated. Hope this works!

Wow!! Is that pounds or kgs?

The thing is if I add any more calories, it will just make it even harder for me. 1400 is really good for me, coz of my bmr and tdee.

Me again. There as been a lot of posts so once again I will try answer all the questions. I don't actually enjoy fast food, like at all. I get bored of food easily, and I only like a select few things from each take out place, so after a week I don't really want to go, but either my partner goes or it is easier and quicker…

I'm on 1400 now, but if i dropped 500 it would lave me at 900, is what i meant. Yea i am going to try meal replacement shakes so at least I am getting something in me during the day, I only really have time to drink. I do run around a lot at work, so I probably burn more in a day than I would think, but I don't count it. I…

500 calories below what i am is 900. I don't think that is safe. I need to find a better way to have meals, rather than takeaway, and better options for how to have 3 meals a day instead of one with my schedule.

Ok so you know my schedule and why it is so hard: I wake up at 6, leave by 6:30, work somewhere with no access to food besides a jiffy van that only brings sausage rolls and pies, get home at about 6, so any healthy food options nearby have closed by 5:30 latest. Everyone else is cooking their dinner in the kitchen, the…

Thanks :) I know calorie deficits work, which is why I know I must be doing the wrong thing here if I am not losing enough, I am not debating that at all. Also if it says homemade, its usually made by my mother in law or a friend, if I did it myself I would weigh them on my scales. When I select like 1/5 of something, I am…

Thanks Dawnie :) I honestly have take away because by the time I get home after 10 hours, I really ceebs cooking, and my partner isn't always home before me to cook.Plus we share a house with 8 other people, so if they have the kitchen we cant cook if we wanted to, and so take out is easiest. I used to be really healthy…

There has been a lot of replies so I will try reply to everything. Basically, the last week I had a miscarriage, so I kinda didn't really care what I ate. I am also severely stressed constantly which I think could affect weight as well from what I have read. If you check the weeks previously, I am usually pretty good, and…

Yeah that's what my goals are set to now on MFP, I didn't know those were the macro nutrients. I have looked at my results, and I have found that it is really hard for me to balance it out sometimes, especially if I don't pre log meals. Another issue I have is sodium. I always seem to be over, even though I have cut out…

I also do this. Especially if I know what I am having for dinner, I will log that first, so then I know how much I can eat over the day to not go over once I have dinner, if that makes sense.

I just find if I work out, in anyway, too often, I end up in a lot of pain, and If its really better to rest before going again, I would literally be going 1-2 times a week :/

That is really helpful thank you. I think I am at a 350 calorie deficit atm. What do you mean when you say light cardio? like brisk walking or?

Yeah Im actually dairy and Gluten intolerant. I dont get as sick as somene with coeliac, I have been tested as my family has a history of it, but i am intolerant of both anyway.

Yeah that definitely sounds like a good idea - those saying to alternate types of work outs every day. My general work out is every second day at the moment, but I am constantly sore, like literally most days I'm limping a little. The way i have been working out was about 30 mins of cardio, 15 and the beginning and the…

I found an awesome substitute for rice is millet. Its kinda more like cous cous than rice, but it tastes awesome no matter how you have it :)

Yeah I will have to do that, coz I am really not seeing any results, and that is something that always demotivates me a lot. For some it might motivate them but for me it makes me binge coz I figure I might as well feel good while I eat coz I'm not feeling good dieting and not getting results. I want to aim to burn around…

Ok, thank you so much, I will definitely try it and hopefully I get results! :)

What is the TDEE method? I am 170 cms tall, i'm 75kgs and I'm moderately active. I've always been quite heavy even though I don't look it, I will update my photo and show you what I mean. I know I don't look plump, but weighing 75kgs makes me feel it. I have been pretty bad this past week, dues to only changing from 1200…

for my arms I do about 3x10 at 15-25kgs on each exercise, Squats I do about 8kgs on top of my body weight, and for my legs I generally have about 15- 25 kg of 3x10s aswell. I do take measurements of my waist only, but maybe I should measure other places too to see results? I'm not sure how exactly it will work. it just…

I think I just figured out how to unprivate my diary, have a look, keep in mind this Easter weekend I went a little crazy with the food thing.

How do I open my diary? Also I do have and use a food scale at almost every meal. I don't drink milk as I am lactose intolerant and I don't have any sugar or artificial sweetenrs in my teas, and I usually only drink green tea. I generally go really hard when I work out, a good 30/60 mins is cardio, in intervals, usuall 15…

That seems like a good way to track everything. Thing I am worried about is the fact that I have lost no weight at all, not even water weight, and its been over a month. I make sure to overestimate the calories I take in and underestimate what I burn, and I work out at least 3 times a week for at least an hour, last week I…

This is something I have been struggling with since I started my weight loss journey. I originally started on 1200, and I did ok for the first few weeks, but once I started exercising, I realised 1200 was way too low, and I was always hungry. So I've bumped it up to 1800 now, but I'm not sure if that is too much. I am also…
