Jaffa Cakes!

This is my goal weight too. I'm about 200lbs atm and I don't think 115 ish is achieveable with maintenance for me. Not as a first goal at least.
-
I'm doing it (currently 1 week in) but I'm only doing it 4-5 days a week. I'm new to "proper" exercise and don't want to injure myself the first time round. Feel free to friend me if you want :)
-
I drink diet soda (I'm cutting back from real soda) and coffee. I've found that I do feel better when I drink water rather than soda but soda doesn't make me feel bad at all. Coffee is just amazing and doesn't do anything bad to me.

I've been eating the same and adding in exercise for the last couple of weeks (since I binged) and it's working alright- I'm losing weight okay. Hopefully by next week I'll have created enough of a deficit that way to start eating back 1/3-1/2 of my exercise calories :)
-
I used to like it- all those calorie counts just below my total for the day. Then I finished college, went from a pub to a bar to a club to a kebab shop and had 3000+ calories in one night. Now I've got a massive spike that's going to be glaring at me for months on that report tab.

This is really a "grass is always greener" kind of thing. I wish I could wear baggy clothes without looking like a tent (I'm curvy). My slim friend wishes she could wear tailored jackets without "looking like a boy" (her words). We all have styles that suit us and styles that look atrocious. It's just about finding the…

It depends how you worked out your deficit. The mfp way gives you a deficit but doesn't include any exercise so I'd eat back at least 1/2 of the calories you've earned from exercising. If you worked out your own deficit including your usual workouts then eating back any would put you over into maintenance (or gaining).…

I could always do with a few more friends- I'm on here everyday and have been doing this for about 3 weeks.

I think you just have to do it in stages: You can log your normal food on mfp You can work out your BMR and TDEE You can change the food you eat to healthier versions one meal at a time (if you haven't already done this) You can pick a goal calorie number between your BMR and TDEE You can reduce your calorie count 100…

This advice can be spread out for everything. Even if you cook during the week then make 3x what you need. Freeze the rest. The extra time chopping veg/ whatever will be worth it in the long run and eventually you'll have so many meals in the freezer that you can take a break for a little while :)

I did 2/3 of Insanity's Plyometric Cardio workout (until my downstairs neighbour's complained about the noise) and then I walked/ jogged for 20 minutes. That's a lot for me. I'm only just getting into exercising.
-
I started yesterday so I'm up for keeping up to date with you :) I will say that I am planning on taking 2 rest days a week instead of the one built into the program. I think it'll be easier for me to complete it with that extra buffer. If I get it done then the second time round I'll do it properly.

Well, for what it's worth I don't think you have a fat face. You're beautiful. I think it's easy to be insecure about things when your family are joking about it. There's a joke in my family that I'm really short. I'm 5'6 (F) so I'm not particularly tall or short- it's just that my family are 6'2 at the shorter end. Try to…

I'm from the NE- feel free to add me :)

Just listen to your body- if you're starving then eat back some of them. If you're feeling okay then just make sure you eat up to your calorie budget for the day. I wouldn't eat back more then 1/3 to 1/2 of any calories unless you used a HRM and know for sure what you burned.

I actually use a site called HabitRPG that helps with giving myself rewards. I get points for tracking my food correctly, being under my calorie limit and doing extra exercise (along with other non fitness/health things). You get "gold" for everything you do and once I have lots of gold I get a reward. My best reward is…

There's loads of ways- with eggs, in wraps/ sandwiches, in tomato dishes (eg bolognese), in cheese sauces (I know this isn't strictly healthy but you can make it alright), as layers instead of lasagna sheets, in smoothies. I'm sure there's much more that I use it for. I go through spinach at ridiculous rates.

So, according to http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ your BMR is 1790 and your TDEE with no exercise is 2148. If you exercise 3 times a week it goes up to 2461. The way I work it is I set my calorie count to in between the BMR and no exercise levels and input all my exercise. That way I can eat back some exercise calories on…

mfp will give pretty much everyone 1200 calories a day. It's better to work out for yourself what's the real best number. You can change your total calories on mfp in Goals (or maybe settings)

The best low fat mayo I've ever tried is ASDAs own brand one. It's still not real mayonaise but it's the only one I've found that's edible.

Add me too! I'm 22 from the UK.

Hi Adam, I'm in the exact same boat as you. I'm 22F from the UK. Feel free to add me as a friend if you think that'll help you. I'm new to mfp too :)

I'm 22, if you want another friend :)

Hi, I'm into video games, sci-fi/ fantasy books (and tv and games). My favourite video games are (still) Portal and Minecraft. My favourite tabletop game is Pandemic. Books wise- atm I'm rereading Foundation. If any of those interest you too then feel free to add me. Oh, and I like Final Fantasy- I just saw you mentioned…

I'm 22 and weigh 201lbs (down from 210lbs). I've got an open diary to friends, if you want another friend?
-
I agree with everyone else- don't stop eating for the day. Cut back on the portions a bit later on in the day if you're going to be way over your budget but it's better to be over a bit for one day than start binging later from starving yourself
-
I'm from the NE and am new to the site- My diary's open to friends and I (normally) make all my meals. Feel free to add me if you want.
