Arent you interested in losing weight in a safe healthy manner? Arent you interested in losing weight with a better chance of keeping it off becayse you understand whats involved? You seem to be doing everything possible to make it an unhealthy approach. You do realise your body needs nutrition to function properly? You…

Me likey +1 focus on the bigger picture its deficit not macros that will make the bigger difference for weight loss.
-
Yes because you are burning additional calories, all things being equal. The health benefits are more important and it takes a lot of exercise to burn 1lb of fat.
-
Believing its impossible before you have even tried or learned how to do it correctly will only undermine your efforts in reaching your goal. Your analysis of the article is not what it actually says. Nope thats you putting a spin on it that isnt really accurate and is unhelpful to you. Losing weight is straightforward.…

Its up to you to make sense and not for others to have to guess what you mean.

This is one of those what weight more 1kg of feathers v 1kg of lead. All things being equal and you know for a fact you are burning 600 in each then they cna still be different: 1. You get the extra VO2 benefits from doing intense cardio during hiit. 2. You will get a greater epoc burn from doing hit. The downside is that…

Seriously its annoying if you wnat to raise a point and talk about an article then its considered polite and helpful if you link it so we know what you are talking about. Its not hard to just post a link. I did indeed google under your suggested words and all sorts of stuff came up . If its impossible then how come there…

You clearly recognise the issue, so you have to have that in mind in your day to day actions. If you wnat to exercise for health benefits, then it has its place. Instead of going from active to inactive with huge swings, try and do little and often. 1. Try and move a bit more in everyday life, walk to the shops etc. 2.…

Unless im misreading the article then the OP's thread title is misleading. The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition are just a bunch of government advisors who can offer advice, which is all they have done. It is not the government, nor has the government adopted the recommendations. So the claim its the UK govt…

Why not use the blog feature?

Are you actually doing anything OP? Weight loss is from a calorific deficit. How do you know you are at one? I use the power plates at the gym more for the massage and cool down. I feel its been effective in helping me avoid injury and reduces soreness. So doing nothing isnt really true. Im open minded to the people who…

You shoul double checck your consymotion accuracy as well as learning to be patient. If you are relying on exercise to burn calories, then understand its limitations. I often feel better by just going and doing it rather than fretting about it or feeling I havent done my best by not going. Its simply less hassle and more…

One persons telling you for your own good is another persons nag. Nagging can be seriously counterproductive.
-
Any cardio, the problem is you will have to be really pushing it and it will need to be near continuous. The less you weigh the fewer calories you will burn all things being equal.
-
Eat at an accurate (weigh you food) consistent deficit. Move more.
-
So you are 21 female and have 66 to lose. My impression is that you will be unrealistic and impatient about the amount you cna lose, then get frustrated and heartbroken. How much you lose will depend partly on the calorific deficit you create and your ability to be consistent. You are looking in the region of 1-2lb a week…

Leave him to it and focus on your own journey.
-
Motivation amounts to the reason or number of reasons which either pish or pull you towards achieving an objective. Why do you wnat to lose weight. Spend some time thinking about it and if its importnat to you. Considering your reasons, then are you prepared to eat less and move more? If you are then just get on with it,…

TBF OP your thread is amusing and is certainly different from the usual plateau fare. Thanks for sharing I think.
-
Wow OP you dont come out of this looking well. The irony of what youve just posted on this site is hehsome. Its obviously escaped you.
-
None, do it or dont do it. If i had any fear it was that I had let myself put on weight which made me a lot more at risk of things like cancer, heart attack , diabetes and stroke. I look at lots of your fears and tbh am a little nemused becayse my mindset is completely different. Id suggest you get some therapy and change…
-
+1 to all this. Take responsibility and get to grips with it.
-
Its cardio for the time it lasts. What do you expect to get from 5 mins exercise or a 25 min agggregate. It burns calories. Do it dont do it.......
-
Btw OP yes you got it right first time. The warning about MFP being over generous and eating back 50% is a good rule of thumb, but its not always that much out and for some people it works fine. What you are trying to avoid is eating back calories you have not burned. See what your results are and then adjust accordingly.
-
Its nice if you can fit them into your calorie allowance, but I understand its not always possible to eat them in moderation, especially at the beginning. As you are having such difficulty, then I would not buy them in the first place. You need to change your mindset and focus on the fact you want to lose more than you…
-
It depends what you mean by help. Does it make you lose weight directly or faster, then no becayse thats up to you being at deficit. They can help you as an easy and soemtimes cheaper way to hit your protein goald if you are having difficulty hitting your macro target. Protein can have the side benefit for many of making…
-
Am sure theres loads of good advice above. On reading your post then if you have veen on MFP for 2 years then did you not pick up some of the common sense advice floating around? Theres tons of misconceptions in your post about weight loss and im not sure you are helping yourself in either your understanding or your…
-
What demora said. A plateau tend to be 6 weeks of no weight loss. Not linear and learn to be patient. You lose becayse you are in deficit.
-
Well done and great you posted pictures as that will encourage you. I remember your post, glad you adapted and persevered.
-
Why not start by defining what you mean by healthy? You are getting confused with. 1. A heathy weight using BMI as a defining standard. BMI is just a general population measure, that is not perfect and uses only one measurement of weight. Its not bad, but its not perfect either. 2. Being considered to be healthy by a…
