  • I use the body fat checker on the scale - it's a gripper thing and that also hasn't moved more than 0.4 in 4 weeks. I don't know how accurate these are but nothing on me has changed, inches, clothes fit, nada.
    in Some numbers...do they help?! Comment by natalie1508 May 2013
  • I can't believe you've waited 3 days for a reply. It sure seems clicky around here. I manually adjusted mine, as 1200 leaves me nowhere to go if I reach a plateau. I put my cals in at 1600 but in 4 weeks I've only lost 2lb (first two weeks) so I personally think there's a bit too much pressure to eat more and for me it's…

  • People throw the starvation mode term around when someone says they eat 900 cals one day lol....it's a bigger picture than that, obviously. Here's my story: I had an awful relationship break up. I couldn't eat. I didn't eat a MORSEL for 3 weeks. After that, because I was worried about my health, I forced down one Complan a…

  • You are meant to eat back exercise cals, but I personally never eat the full amount as I've heard so many people say that they have gained weight doing this as they've over estimated the calories they burned. I'd say eat half of them unless you're hungry, then eat more. I do a Circuit class that boasts to burn 1000…
    in Caloric intake ratio to exercise question....help?? Comment by natalie1508 May 2013
  • Lost nothing again this week. Exasperated is not the word. If 3 healthy meals a day, no cakes or choc and lots of exercise are not working, then what gives?! I am definitely eating less than I burn but I think this TDEE & BMR thing may put me too high. If my maintenance is 1850 approx and I need a 500 deficit, then I'm not…

  • I was meant to say that before my 30th, I used MFP and pretty much the same exercise routine and lost a stone. Although the exercise was the same, I did 13-1400 cals and the weight came off 2lb a week - so I know my choice of food and my exercise routine can work, as it's proven; but my main concern is wtf have I done to…

  • Hi, Thanks for the replies. I have no idea how to open up my diary, but a regular day would be as follows. Breakfast: 3 x boiled eggs, 2 x wholemeal toast, glass of apple juice, Greek yoghurt (around 600 cals) Lunch: Bowl Minestrone soup, cucumber & houmus (around 300 cals) Dinner: Pasta & tom sauce with mushrooms, onions…
