One of my bad habbits, but it happened. Weighed in at 90.4kg today. I think the water weight came off. But I am awaiting my accurate scales weigh in on Sunday, in fact I am eager for it :smile: I have put in a lot of effort this week. Starting to think I need new shirts as my current ones are starting to kite me a bit and…

I have been doing this: Measuring food weight and content to match. All my entries, barring a couple of lazy entries (which you have found) contain the correct information. I am not just watching calories alone. I am watching: protein, salt, fat and calories.

Thanks - Not planning of giving up anything :smiley: I have come a lot further than I ever expected I would, and that itself is motivation.

Thanks. I do have concerns about not having enough protein.

What would you recommend doing, given my diary entries too?

True. I guess I have not succeeded on the lowering carb front then.

Sorry I had missed the point of my reply, in the telephone application version 'create a meal' is not an option. I do know of the feature you mean though and when I log via the PC I do use it. Thanks :smile:

You could argue by not having bread as an option the bulk options I have would available now would be pasta / rice. So, yes.

I use the phone app most of the day for recording, in fact I use the phone app all the time for recording. It allows me to bar-code scan things in with ease. I probably would not have been so successful without the phone app version to be honest. It is just so easy to go, I am eating that weighed at that. Scanned - enter…

No. I cut out bread and will only buy it for special meals now. As for my current intake of wholemeal pasta/rice my option for that now is wholemeal. I have not increased my intake of rice/paste instead of bread.

I know and you would find very few entries like that. I could with effort go back and find the exact values of items, however it was all measured at the time to precision and I know it came to that amount of calories. But you are quite right accurate logging and accurate measuring is the only way to succeed. I would only…

The hardest thing I had was to cut out bread. I just had to stop buying it, it was the only way. And likewise I switched down to wholemeal pasta/rice.

Haha no. They were lazyness, not bad food. My complex lunches :) Rice / Veg / Chicken breast.

How long should you be plateaued before you should reduce calories even further? I have read so many different conflicting sides.

Thanks, I had never heard of TDEE before. *I have a semi-desk / IT Support job. Your BMI is: 28.8 Your BMR is: 7935 kJ / 1897 calories Your TDEE is: 9522 kJ / 2276 calories What deficit should I aim for?

Thank you for all the great advice. We should start a kickstarter to lend out kitchen scales for weight loss :smile: Using the first bmi calculator that google finds when you search for 'bmi calculator'. It says for my stats I should be on 2024 Calories a day, so to create a deficit I should be 1500'ish for 1lb loss a…

Everyone has assumed I am not measuring my food. I am. Look at my food diary I keep within the recommended portions on most things. Sometimes I will have 60g instead of 30g of cereal, but that is only if I did not sleep well. I have a scales in the kitchen, best thing I have ever purchased. If only is recommend a weight…

I have made my diary public for now. I like to weigh every morning, which I know is wrong. And the scales I use can vary depending on where I position them which is annoying. Every Sunday at the same time I am going to Boots Pharmacy for a 70p weight in, which measures height/weight/body fat and BMI. MFP said 1470 when I…

Hehe. For the last seven days my net calories is 1315 over...which I suppose is nearly a day itself. And given I have never power walked for that length of time it could be muscles building, or the muscles retaining water to repair. Otherwise I am not sure.

McDonalds were wrong.
