I'm no expert, but are you netting less than 1300 calories once you have done you exercise?

add me, i'm from a town near leeds and have been doing this for about 40days ;)

I've looked back to when you where logging your food and exercise, are you REALLY netting less than 1000clas per day? That could account for the shakes & the sleepiness/tiredness. how much do you think you NET each week

Hiya, Your diary isn't open, i was going to have a look, really interested in your story as i'm the same height and 203lbs and struggling to know what amount to eat as well, as the scales have stayed the same for the last 20 days. Have you been eating 1500 when you've lost the 4.5stone? how many are you eating if you net…

well done that a great result

Thanks for the responce, i think i'm just having a major panic..............again. My Weight loss journey started when i realised that i had to sit down for 11 hours on a plane and my bra digs in so tight to my extra belly fat i knew i needed to do something about it, i'm no nearer forward and my sitting for any length of…

Bump to see if anyone had any suggestions ..........thanks

First off congratualtions on losing 9 pounds!!! thats wonderful!!! a few questions tho.. if you eat 1500 cals a day would that be less than your BMR? you should never eat less than BMR. [/quote] Hiya, Thanks for your support & responce, its appreciated my numbers are below BMR: 1706 TDEE: 2345 CUT: 1876 (averaging about…

thanks both, thats makes perfect sense. when he gets home i'll read the response to him and make out like i know what i'm talking about ;) LOL

Hiya, What time are you having your last meal of the day? I find if i wake up hungry its because i ate my tea too early and a big time gap before i go to bed........so what i do now is have tea at the usual time and have a supper as well, (usual some toast or a bagel or even some cheese) could that work for you? Also, can…

Hiya, You must not eat below your BMR, so you need to either change your cut to 15% or redo you stats and review you activity (I made the same mistake and Lucia put me on the right track) (i put light and i was actually moderate) You add in your exercise into the scooby calculations and then you don't eat back unless you…

Hi and good morning, I'm from Huddersfield (Near leeds) hope you have a nice day

I haven't done a reset, and the reason for that is: 1. i have not attempted to diet for over 3 years 2. i worked out that i was eating to my TDEE for the last 3 years 3. i gained the 30lbs I'm trying to get rid off 3+ years ago and have maintained it within 2lbs variance since then. I also checked with Harlamjen & Lucia…

Hi again :) I've had a quick look at your diary, i'm no expert, but if my sodium goes over 800 i hold a lot of water, i notice a couple of days your sodium appears quiet high, could that be the cause (some water weight) Also, what have you set your exercise at in the scooby calculate? Strenuous? PS: mustn't forget to say…

HI, sorry to hear your struggling. Do you fancy posting your stats, because i had a crisis earlier in the week (started gaining) and Lucia redid my stats and i wasn't eating enough. (since lost 1.2lb of the weight i'd put on) hang in there someone will be along to help out :)

i log my green tea as water intake............tbh, any herbal tea's with no caffine that i dont add milk or sugar to i count as water intake. not sure about others but thats what i do good lukc :)

Well done, I'm so pleased for you :)

well done

Hiya, feel free to add me, i;m from the UK (Near leeds) well done for your loss and good luck PS: clothes sizes here have a lot to do with body shape & which shop you buy from !!!!!!!, i'm a pear shape so no one size all over

Hi Feel free to add me, i'm UK based, near Leeds You need to find the diet thats right for you, i am on the EMTLW diet, but i've done plenty of VLCD in the past, my dieting is more about changing for the future and not an immediate "I must get the weight off now" approach But i know that doesn't work for everyone, keep…

Hi Brad, i know your rigfht on this as i've gone up 3lbs in 3 days (after an initial loss of 5lbs on EMTLW) BUT.......................in my heart i know i'm still not convinced, what if those 5lbs where a blip? what if i put the scales away and end up bigger in a months time. I could cry as i REALLY want to believe in this…

i occasionally have a fish finger happy meal (with a bottle of water) they look a bit odd when I'm buying it on my own, its 429 cals and i work it in, but i watch the rest of the days sodium as it can be high. go for it, i was a lifestyle change that i can sustain for every and I'm sure I'll want a MD (or other junk food)…

my hubby is very supportive, but doesn't want to spend loads of time talking about it with me, that's why i come on the boards. my hubby and son play rugby, both are prop forwards (the biggest guys on the field) so they have huge nutritional needs that i cater for and they have set macros that i need to help them achieve…

Remember this is a journey you have to "live" throug. So stick to your cut, drink water, and remember today is anew day:flowerforyou: [/quote] Thanks Lucia :)

thats great, i bet your so thrilled, i hope i'm as successful as you :) Thanks for you reassurance

add me, I'm about 15 days into this, so still trying to find my way :)

well done, thats a great story, it give sme the motivtion to keep going, Excellent

HIya, i'm in again, missed Mays goal by 2 lbs...but hey ho, new month new challenge CW - 203 GW - 195 Target 8lbs None weight challenge run/walk 3 times a week (if walking its the 5k route)

i eat pretty much whatever i want. i do try to get my 5 aday and to also drink 4 litres of water (I know its more that the suggested). Someone told me to set my macros to 40carbs/30 fat/30protein.............so i try to do the best i can with those guidelines However i find a protein rich meal for tea works best for me.…
