That's the cats Christmas present sorted.

Looking fantastic!

Scotland too. Always happy to have more support! :)

Yup, I'm not overweight, I'm under height but until they come up with a way to make me 7 foot tall, I'm going to have to stick to my allowed calories.

I'm trying to up my calorie intake too. I was also sticking to 1200-ish. (This seems to be pretty drummed into our heads in the UK) but trying to eat a bit more and focus on nutrition, which will hopefully make me feel better too.

I would define a binge as not caring in the slightest about what you are eating. I had a chip roll yesterday, but it wasn't a binge. Thought about it first. Checked the calories and logged it before I had even ate it. If you genuinely don't care how many calories are in something and will just keep eating, I'd call that a…

What had she upped her calorie intake to? 500 calories and all the exercise must have been absolute torture!

29 and always welcome more support. :)

Thank you. Very helpful. :)

I'm going to try upping my calorie intake after I do my first weigh in tomorrow. I feel like I'm eating quite a lot just now, more than I was before because I'm eating smaller things more regularly. Need to try and have a bigger meal at home at night with more vitamin rich veggies.

If you have any yummy veggie recipes high in iron, I would love to see them. :)

I have had more vitamin c than my diary states. Its hard to log fruit salads that are purchased from cafes so I try to log it generally in terms of calories. I always struggle with vitamin a and iron. I totally understand that trying to get more vitamins, calcium and fibre would be beneficial, but if, for example, I hit…

Go buy measuring cups. Helps you measure everything. Poundland sell them. They also sell a mini food scale, not the most accurate but better than nothing. :)

Thanks everyone. I put it in my diary as 350 calories as the dance, general seemed a bit too generous. Zumba class is usually about 500 for an hour so it seems sort of right-ish. Its great, I have just dance 4 and 2014 and a few dance central games too.

Would you suggest dance, general? It gives 400+ calories for 45 minutes. I really need to get a HRM to get some sort of workable average. Didn't really have long breaks between the songs as I knew which I was putting on next so about a minute of rest. I did 5 songs then the 28 minutes of just sweat.
