Thanks team, I think it's just one more stressor to go and hopefully it takes my belly chub with it ;)

www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1120612-heybales-hrm-and-exercise-intensity?page=1#posts-17450066 I just wanted to add this link but I'm not sure it applies to you. You said you altered your height on your media.....was that because of Heybales spreadsheet???? He is now saying that womans tdee is 7.5% lower than a mans…

I won't get technical because I try to go by my own experience but I can sympathise with you. It's a fine line I find to get it right and I know many would think the math is perfect but not for me. I can eat 2300+daily and not lose or gain and I can eat 2000 or 1850 daily not loss either and the math would say I should. So…

Bumping for any updates too :)

I'm sure once your body is used to eating those meals you will need them. I always skipped breakfast a d most days got to 2pm and wondered why I was hungry....oh yeah I haven't eaten yet. My body was used to it, but now holy cow I need to eat. It's the first thing I the of in the morning...lol. You will probably find its…

Funny thing is I have always overlooked that piece...yay I've just grown 20cm :) short no more

On everymove.org I changed my user to same as here gogogadgetmum as sometimes the email doesn't work.

You are totally inspirational to be doing what you are. It will benefit you in the long run by nourishing your body with what it needs. I'm not going to get technical because I have never been brave enough to do a full reset although I can eat quite a bit for a smallish/medium human...lol. You are damn awesome!! I agree…

Yes that do get longer, I stopped at about stage 4. I was doing it at home and some alterations just weren't the same and I had to get my husband to help with the bar for squats. I can squat heavy but can't chuck it on my shoulders. I think 3 or 4 workout out to be over an hr with the hiit portion added in.

You will find that the "after burn" you get from lifting that you can only see with a bfm will increase that cal burn for 48hrs....I think. A few stages down you will do hiit after lifting. If you look at the nrolfw group here you will see lots of woman run as a warm up before. I think afterwards is supposed to be better…

I just wanted to say that I think you are doing fantastic. Sticking to what you know is best for you in the long run. Setting a non scale goal I think is an awesome idea. I read you last post and I can relate to the boobs on a plate...mine have never gone down even after losing close to 55lbs. Size down but not cup...now…

I never realy see any harm taking a multi, millions of people do. I don't at the moment but I do need iron supplements and something to support my liver due to a condition I have. We are lacking lots of minerals in our soils now too which is why I always have 3 Brazil nuts a day for my selenium intake...they are yummier…

I have the one and love it!! Check out this group on mfp there were a few posts about the flex, I think some people prefer the one or even ultra. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/1307-fitbit-users

The reason I said lightly active because sedentary cut only gives you your bmr....... and most people who have been here for a while like myself would say that if you are having to add extra cals in often to make sure you hit bmr then you need to up a level. Because what will happen if you hit a plateau..... you have…

^^^^ I third that too....lol If you need some friends here check out one of the threads. I'm a shorty too with PCOS but of course older than you. Lots of PCOS woman here, it does make things a bit trickier at times.

When you talk about steps do you have a fitbit???? If so I'd go with what that gives you. Personally I would never pick sedentary so I would go with lighty active.

I use my fitbit to calculate my tdee and I find my daily activity puts me one level above scooby. Scooby has me at about 2000 but I eat at my fitbit average of 2300-2400 and that works for me and keeps me satisfied. My average steps are about 15-17,000 So my advice would be dont just use "exercise" hrs remember to take…

Hi there, I would say you are moderate but definitely not low. With lots of walking you may even be a level up, I know that is what it is for me. As for the weights that you have now, look up fitness blender.com they have great videos that a lot of us use. I am doing a 4 week fat loss program at the moment. You can choose…

I'm eating 2300 at the moment and next week it will be 2400. I don't normally comment on diaries either as I find it such a personal thing. I have just re-opened mine for a while as I have a few new friends here. Once I got really annoyed with a comment about a lolly I had....so I closed it. But yes there will be lollies…

That's fabulous!!! No point working out if you don't have the energy and fall asleep after.....total waste of time...:sad: Pleased it is working for you and you can see the positives....because there are HEAPS!!!:flowerforyou:

Feel free to add me. I've been doing em2wl since I joined mfp, actually I think I only have em2wl friends.....most of the others get sick of me talking about food or I get sick of them moaning about being hungry...lol

I eat according to my fitbit daily. When I compare it to scooby it is much higher. I have my mfp set as active and go from there. Depending on what activity level you have mfp set to will change your fitbit cals too. So make sure it is not sedentary. I don't want to confuse you though as tdee and fitbit are two different…

^^^^ fantastic point I forgot about the basics. Yip def only log on one, I prefer mfp, I only use fitbit to see dashboard. I use the stopwatch function for non step related exercises and record my hrm cal burn. I wear mine in the middle of my bra.

I'm a fitbit user too and eat according to my fitbit. It was a promise I made to myself when I got it. I was surprised too at my fitbit tdee. Two months ago I ate at my fitbits tdee which ranged from 2700-2300( winter here so less active) then dropped by 10% and my weight started to drop. For me my body loves a certain…

The best advice that I can give you is to familiarise yourself with the group info here. Read all the stickys and go to eatmore2weighless.com readread read & you can purchase a very cheap start up kit that will guide you through this. There is a lot to sort out and reading is a better way as you know your past history and…

I have a polar f4 and it is basic but does everything I need and looks nice as a watch. I have used it for over 4 years with no problems. Yes it has a chest strap but unsure about swimming. I got it on torpedo7 for about $100. My husband bought me a mega expensive fancy one and I returned it. I also have a fitbit which I…

I only use mfp to log food and exercise. I log non step related exercises using the stop watch function on my One. When you use this it creates an activity log on your dashboard. This gives you a start, finish time, distance and cals burned. then I log that exercise on mfp using those times but the cal burn from my heart…

You can get the data from the app or website on the iPad but no you cannot sync it :( I can only sync mine through my Mac. When I first got it I would sync all the time but now it's not such a hassle. When you are within a certain distance of the "dongle" it will sync it too so you don't have to do a manual sync. Hope this…

Omg I'm so jealous, avo's are $3 here for one!!!!! :ohwell:

Feel free to add me if you like, under 2000 cals is miserable for me...... Not that it ever happens.... Lol
