Tbh migraines can be very individual and your post is lacking in detail which is most unhelpful. Are you saying you get migraines before exercise and in general or the exercise is a cause of the migraines? Please provide more information about yourself the nature of your migraines and what exercise you are doing. If you…

Lighter people burn less so if you lose weight = lower. Fitter you become then you adapt as you becoem more efficient= burn less. If you have more muscle its going to be more. So its hard to say, what you should do is maximise by increaseing either or both duration or intensity to compensate the other way and keep your…

You coul guesstimate and make x rams of that scnack or you could use quick calories.

Ok apologies if I was snappy. 1. Food consumption and accurate deficit are the big things for weight loss. 2. If you want to exercise the biggest benefit is fitness, but it will assist you in burning extra calories. 3. Estimates are just that estimates and you need to do a lot to burn the 3500 calories for the loss of 1lb…

The watch was a joke. 1. MFP works on the basis of a selected deficit and the safe sustainable rate of weight loss tends to be in the 1-2lb a week range. 2.It also sets a safe minimum of 1500 calories for a male just on nutritional grounds. You have suggested 1200, so you are 300 below even there. Eating too little is not…

You need to weigh according to what suits you. Many do it every day but they have to be able to understand fluctuations, the need for consistency and know they are just looking for a trend. If you have had difficulties before, then its still important to understand about fluctuations and that its just data, but maybe to as…

Im struggling to see why this is a surprise? Presumably you dont really read labels?

sorry, I should have mentioned that I am cutting back on calorie intake. 1200 daily, for simplicity i just eat a protein bar for breakfast and a light lunch with a sandwich/fruit/vegs. chicken or turkey based dinners with a veggie or small amount of carbs. i cut out pop and just drink water/coffee. Any suggestions on some…

Just do the math. If you go 1000 over then you have to decide in that week whether you will get 1000 back? Its called CICO. Keep it simple. Yes if you wnat you cna burn that in a day down the gym or out and about if tou put a reasonable amount of effort in. I wouldbt be surprised if it was considerably over 1000, but you…

Honestly you dont need a hrm, just go for 30 mins if thats what you cna manage and note down the distance you traveled. work a bit harder or at least as hard the following day so your heart rate is raised. Keep on pushing yourself reasonably hard, but not over the top. You should get further week on weak and your fitness…

You arent logging so from a calorie perspective then hard to say. From a nutrition perspective then they are fine as long as you recognise they are packed full of simple carbs, which will give you the short term energy boost. If you like them keep going, but you can eat a variety of fruits to get the benefit of them all as…

Start small amd build it up consistently. Some people are just able to get on with it. Find out what you cna manage, start with maybe a ten minute walk every day and keep progressing. Dp something nice or incoprorate it into everyday life i.e walk part of the way home or to the shops, go dancing etc, just anything that has…

just read the sexy pants link and focus on accurate consistent deficits.

People should ask questions. I was surprised how basic this one was, but then there are people of all levels on these forums, so common sense for one person might be difficult for another. I would avoid being oversensitive though, these forums are very mild by internet standards.

Perhaps use something like a tape measure to see if your measurements are smaller? You could also use a mirror or ask people if you look smaller? Do your clothes fit any differently? Hang in there. Not sure why you are torturing yourself.

Do as your Dr / Physio advised and dont use your ankle until you have been given permission to do so. Dont overestimate the effect exercise has on burning calories, priority is your deficit and thats mostly made up by reducing consumption. Look on youtube for wheel chair workouts there are plenty for people who have broken…

Most scales have a tare function so you can see how much each ingredient weighs as you add it.

Do light exercise, walk maybe yoga, stretches, pilate, bit of foam rolling or you know you could just rest.

Dont care, not really a showy person, but being healthy is nice.

But that would require you to think in a certain way and then someone would take offence. All just a bit mystifying at times.

Couldnt you just balance the empty plate on its side so you can see how much it weighs, surely just common sense and then you cna zero it assuming you have the tare/ zero function. I have never seen this as a thread issue before. If you cnat manage that, then maybe use a container that does fit on the scale and lets you…

There are several weaknesses to your weight kloss approach that can be improved upon and will help you be more effective. Logging accuracy, nutrition, eating enough calories, misunderstanding about contribution of exercise etc. All pointed out by other posters, so I hope you cna spend some time abosriving what people are…

Because you said on the one had its about you not being happy with speed and then on the other you say its about speed and it not being fast enough. The point was reasonable expectations and understanding how it works mean you cna make rational conclusions based on the size of the deficit you generate due to CICO. If you…

ofc nothing to do with speed. Ofc 2.5lbs a week is reasonable expectation. You do realise weight loss is not linear and that what you lose at the beginning changes a lot from what you lose at the end. Also your insistence, that you dont log, but know you are exactly at 1200 calories. See if you think the same about weight…

Why not just lppk to see what you are doing in terms of deficit calories. Are you making 3500 worth of calories for each 1lb you expect to lose? If you arent, then what makes you specual to tink you need to burn less calories than everyone else? Lots of people think they should lose faster when they simply dont put the…

I wonder if there are objective measurements for fitness? Run 5 miles or 10 miles? Lift x weight, do Y pressups?

You are wherevery you are. I started as a couch potato and have gone at a pretty reasonable rate in the gym at things. Have had some injuries, rotator cuff, musle tears, lower back, fingers etcm but on the whole ive been very responsible and monitored my health well buy listening to my body. This has helped me minimise the…

waits for cripple fight over sugar. OP its your diet, so if you wnat to eat less sugar then thats up to you. These threads tend to encourage but thats sugar and thats sugar sagas as people decide its their duty to teach you about their version of nutrution.

Theres actually quite a lot of people for who this was their first real diet and have made it to target. I was surprised. It may be self selecting though i.e those who are successful stick around the forums. Btw OP failing is a bit dull, so before you go stressing yourself out please take some time to review your previous…

If you go through my checklist, then it becomes obvious when its not enough food and its more overtraining and rest. Theres a specific difference between running out of energy because you havent eaten enough and feeling fatigued becayse you are run down and overtrained or have some other medical problem. test, becayse you…
