Thanks Robin xxx i only wore the once during the day as i wasnt sure if i had my daily burn rate set ok but now i know im ok it is just for the workouts hun x

Thanks everyone x ya been a great help!!

I didnt burn 2000 in a workout hun thats how much i burnt in the 8 hours i was working!!I burnt about 700-800 cals in my workout!!My hrm is a polar ft40f and they are a good one as my husband did all his homework before deciding which one to get me!!

Hi hun,yeah its a brand new polar ft40f hun and they are very acurate!!Yesterday i burnt 3975 cals inc an hour n half workout tho!!It actually reads less than the gym equipment i was on yesterday,so im glad he got it me as i had been using that as a guide until i got hrm!!I am on my feet for almost 8 hours at work inc…

Ruby i have set my daily activity to active but it still means im burning nearly 2000 or more than im actually comsuming,last time i was doing that my body went into starvation mode and because i didnt know it was there for quite some time and has taken me ages to get it out of that and even now im not so sure its right!!

Bloody excellent!!

SPOT ON!!

I had that too hun,i know exactly how you feel!!And it was my mother in law and my husbands x wife !! the mother in law said it to my face but the x wife i overheard and she was makeing jokes with her mate saying how i look like achmed ect and how her new husband would rather have summat to hold on to ect!!The mother in…

Also my husband pointed out yesterday he thinks if i could have all the excess skin removed id be happy with my size and weight!!I do remember my kids taeqwondo instructor telling me she weighed almost 11 st but you wouldnt have thought it looking at her as she was so slim she said it was the training she did ect she was…

This is my problem i feel so fat!!I try to lisetn to everyone else but all i see when i look in the mirror is fat!! I think i have a problem in that sense that a lot of women have and men!!Im 5ft 4 hun x and in some places where ya dont put ya wist measurements wrist measurements hip ect in im actually overweight!!!I told…

I am the same measurements but have gone up one size......which is weird!!!!My hubby said the same as yours and that when i was at my lowest i looked gaunt and he couldnt cuddle me properly as it used to hurt me as i was boney!

Just want to add the doctor wasnt happy with my lowest weight,he said i was too skinny and bordering annorxic tendencys (which i did know just wouldnt admit) and says he is much happier with me at this weight!I

Just wanted to add as i forgot i wasnt eatting anywhere near enough cals for my burn and was doing it for a few years but my body was in starvation mode without me realsing it until i stopped losing weight ect and i joined this to be told straight away i wasnt eatting enough but this was all over years not weeks hun!!

It takes more than 3 weeks for your body to go into starvation mode hun so i wouldnt say its that!Also the fact you are losing at a steady weight for how much you weigh would suggest it isnt that!!I have been there and i was having about 900 cals and burning off over 1,000 for 5 days a week for about 3 years now hun so i…

Great advise!!Just how i do it!!

Having a good support group always helps!!Please feel free to add me x

Exactly,i work really hard all week so i know i can realx on weekends!!I do workout every other saturday but only when im feeling really down,as i do 12 classes a week as it is plus gym!

Sorry just dont see it as an entirely bad thing,sometimes ya body needs a break!!But i am maintaining not really trying to lose except for every now n then when i may put on a pound or 2!!

:blushing: i have this habit too!!But i make up for it all week and then lapse saturday and just a tad sunday!But the other 5 days i work damn hard!

bump :0)

This is what happened to me,i was working out so much but never ever eatting any of my exercise calories and had already lost all my weight but then i started to either gain a lil bit or stand still.My intructor got worred about em n asked me to write everything donw i ate and how much i slept and worked out and i was in…

I have always questioned why anorexics lose weight when they dont eat enough thanks for clearing this up,makes perfect sense!

Have you tried a body pump class?? i do this upto 3 times a week and other classes too like boxersize and i have noticed a big change in my arms and shoulders!!I do lift quite heavy in body pump tho esp in squats as this should always be your heavier weight! I do tend to stay away from the macines in the gym as they can…
