Deficit.

Double posted

Do some other cardio then or use an umbrella. They both have their place indoors and outdoors.

All calorie burns are estimates. Depending what activity level you choose then some exercise/movement is already included. the dividing line tends to be is it just you going about your day to day life or is it intentional exercise i.e thats the main purpose, which otherwise you would not be doing. Whether or not you…

Well you need to be careful you dont fall into a victim , excuses and not taking responsibility mentality. Just becayse you ahve depression doesnt mean there arent things you can do if you wnat it enough instead of using it as a stick to beat yourself with. Work out small steps that will work. Use your available energy to…

Too simple, effective and straightforward. Save your money OP and learn the habits that will help you understand how to lose weight and gain fitness for life.

Its all about the deficcit however its made up.

You could use the blog feature. People can follow your progress then.

Awesome loss op, you look to have cracked it on your evidence, keep going and at that rate you will soon be at target.

Youve injured yourself your focus should be on healing. If you want to be foolish then you will try and do soemthing and risk making it worse and being out for longer. You will know when its possible i.e when it stops being sore and then you should try a gradual reintroduction. If its not improved by next week then you…

Adequate for what?

Not really sure what you are now asking? My approach, even now is: 1. To move more generally. 2. For fitness reasons then ensure im pushing myself at various stages during the week. 3. If I run out of time then not to panic, but if its an issue then I prioritise and make time rather than excuses. With fitness you are…

Whilst i do see people doing 30 day challenges theres nothing wrong with that because it breaks it down into a manageable chunk. The article isnt written about MFP. If you want to say detox diets are a waste of time and think long term, then thats the consensus on MFP, which is why you see people banging on about lifesyle…

It depends;. Cardio burns are determined by duration , intensity and how much you weigh. If you do 30 mins straight and travel 3 miles, then that will burn the same calories as 3x 10 mins traveling 1 mile each. So the same. The difference is with the 30 mins you will need more endurance and that means a better cardio vasc…

If you are only 5kg away then you ahve a ood idea what a difference they will make. You are setting yourself up. Lifting weights is going to have just as big an impact on how you look.

You must understand why you get derailed and then adjust to take it into account. Do that before you even think about starting again.

Based on your stats it looks like you asked mfp to give you a number based on losing 1lb a week. To do that your calorie counting needs to be accurate. You can burn extra calories with exercise, but it requires a lot to burn a modest amount of calories. A rough guess would be 100cals per mile walked, so 5 miles every day…

+1 If its type 2 you can reverse it. You need to give yourself a reality check and work out a routine/lifestyle for yourself though.

Yes yes yes and im amazed how some people can even cite it without understanding it.

You gain weight because you are eating at a surplus. Simplez. Its not sime imexplained mystery its because you are eating your way to a weight gain. If you dont have a scale , then get one but in the meantime just track your weight and adjust how much you eat according to whether you lose weight over 2 weeks. Oh and if you…

This, but if its too smooth or liquidy then I dont feel im getting enough oatmeal. Milk not water.

I kind of go to the end , but im off to the gym now. 1. The fact you take an interest and use paragraphs is a big plus. 2. Initially the fact you are losing .5lbs a week is a reflection your actual calorie deficit is closer to 250 calories a day rather than 1000.You shouldnt go any lower than 1500 for a man as thats the…

If 40 is the new 20 , then what is 20?

Ill o with the exercise isnt needed camp. OP if you wnat to lose weight you need 2 things: 1.A calorific deficit. 2. Commitment to see things through. Its number 2 you really need to make sure you cna achieve number 1. then you lose weight. As for your migraines I went through a period of cluster migraines where I had 3 a…

Thanks msf and bambi. vlovell24 What she was proposing was contrary to everything MFP supports i.e eating at a calorific deficit is what causes weight loss. It would make her unique if she was indeed losing at a suprlus or ofc she is wrong in her assumption and people were telling her. If people do not understand about the…

Its a public forum. If they break the rules then report them otherwise they cna post what they like. Nobody said you had to take notice. Care to link the thread so people cna judge for themselves rather than relying on your interpretation?

Its a public forum. You cnat have used many public forums otherwise youd realise just how mild and supportive MFP is. If you are seeking information then surely its advice from professors and those who know what they are talking about? the site attracts people from all backgrounds and abilities. If you feel you have…

Because having a discussion about the issues that arise is a bad thing.......... sigh.

I just looked and you came at about 1850 for maintenance so 1350 for 1lb a week. Walking depends how far you walk. It will be roughly 100cal per mile walked. Whatever level you set yourself has to be sustainable so that you dont quit and arent miserable. I'd got for 1lb a week plus you get to eat your exercise calories. If…

I believe I will close my diary now. :) [/quote] There are various settings, but the default is closed. Being able to see someones diary can be very helpful if someone has an issue. I dont think anyone worth listening to is trawling through peoples diaries to judge and belittle. If you feel they are then block and report…
