37 year old Irish dad of 2 whose fallen off the exercise wagon since Covid came to town. Feel free to add me, ideally looking for accountability for exercise (running and yoga) and calorie fk'in deficit! Not hard core on this would like to keep focused... Thanks!

January going good for me...almost over now!!!

Tipping away here the past couple weeks, trying to get back on the horse. Eat relatively ok Move a bit on the bike and by foot 34 male from Dublin, Ireland :smile:

Am on my 4th session of this. Snagged my calf doing other training but going to keep benching. I have noticed the biggest change in my body from the 4 sessions than any amount of cardio i've done so im going to stick with it. Can someone link me the Stronglifts Group on MFP? @minamina27 my sessions can take about 40…

@Gustaaf85 It does, i've been hung up on it all day. Especially with the visceral fat, which is alarming. I will try take a more rounded look at it as opposed to zoning in on something that could be a spike for another reason

@Gustaaf85 Thanks, yeah i think i will be paying more attention to it. ALthough i have toned up and have gone down clothes sizes , its alarming that my body fat % is on the increase. And i exercise every week too :/

Update today That is the last 3 composition results side by side.

Thanks for your feedback guys. I use this as a good indicator for certain things and to just take stock of where i am at that point. Overall im happy with my goals and such, i didnt really pay too much attention to the body fat % etc as my aim isn't to 'grow muscle' or 'get lean' ...im mostly just trying to lose the bit of…

Above is weigh in for February and today's body comp analysis Ok so, just a follow on so i said i would post it here for my own log. Body Composition analysis test done this morning. Happy with progress, to be fair i had let myself slide so i am back on track in relation to my original analysis test. Surprised that there…

Thats great , thanks very much Jerry!

Thanks for all the comments guys, appreciate it!

Yeah my target weight is is in and around 79kgs. She did say my BF% was on the high side, maybe something to look at was my intake of fatty foods.

Yeah I am inclined to agree. I don't see it as a set back just had stopped me in my tracks. I've adjusted the height and my target weight slightly. I weigh myself every 2 weeks and i am happy with the results of using this and combining with exercise for the past 44 days

I thought the BMI was useless too, we just talked about it and she said it is a relevant scale. But i was airing on the side of it being a scale / index to tell older people that they are a degree of being over weight but she said it isn't, it should be taken into consideration...

No i know, but then it just got me thinking about all the things that I hadn't "worried" about when i decided to lose weight, Fat%, my BMI or my "ideal weight" should be much lower.

Height 177.3cm Weight 86kg (had weighed myself this morning at 85.5 which was a loss but ate breakfast, had water etc) BF% 21.8%

Yeah im airing on the side of just keeping on trucking. I have lost a few lbs using MFP and it seems to work. Im handy enough now after 44 days keeping my calorie limit to the 1750, although i changed my height to what it should be and then set my target to a bit lower which increased my daily calorie allowance.

Can i have yours then?

Unless that 6k run is interval training / sprints you probably will find that will do nothing for you in tandem with what you are already doing. I used to run more frequently from 5-16k a couple times a week and found it really didn't do anything (extreme) in relation to body fat loss. This year I have taken up football…

I always find if i get into a slump like this I will take some iron supplement like Pharmaton or something. We all need a little pep I am notorious for getting to bed late which always makes getting up harder but don't be too hard on yourself, you've been through a lot! : )

THat site gave me this Your BMR is: 1829 CALORIES/DAY Your TDEE is: 2515 CALORIES/DAY So at 1750 that MFP is giving me , that's accurate enough? Sorry, thanks for all your advice!

Jesus i thought i was doing ok until you told me i needed to be 170lb!! ha Yeah i think 1700 is reasonable. then there is mixed messages about eating the calories you exercise...or don't etc.

Ah ok. Well that explains that. I am in no rush really and i know slow and steady wins the race so I will change it to .25 a week : )

1,750 Calories / Day is my allowance now when i change it to .25 Was i reaching too far by saying 1KG a week?

It's not very often i get called a tall man...thank you ha! But why is it calculating this for me? I haven't input anything that i shouldn't have

You think 1kg a week is too much? Set it to half that? I log my exercise and training during the week also.

im 5'10 Current weight 87.5KG Goal weight is 82.6KG Have it set to lose 1KG per week.

Hi there In this situation i would straight out advise you contact the medical professional you have been seeing to deal with your anorexia. I hope you get sorted soon and good luck, look after yourself : )

Ath Cliath all the way :)
