This has been explained a million times already, but I'll try one last time. When you sign up to MFP you select how quickly you want to lose weight...0.5lb a week/1lb a week/1/5lb a week... MFP then tells you how many calories to eat to achieve this...the deficit needed is already there. If you then exercise your deficit…

1259 boom! (gotta be one good thing about the bike man changing my bike inner tube and replacing it with ANOTHER punctured inner tube)...lovely surprise this morning to replace a slow puncture with an actual proper flat as a pancake puncture...not) *got my not impressed face on*...so 4hrs of trying to fix said puncture…

W3 D1 Column 2 12, 17, 13 (ow), 13 (ow), 18 (really really collapse on the floor ow)

ps this is super cute too http://www.asos.com/ASOS-Petite/ASOS-PETITE-Exclusive-Lace-Puffball-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1899827&cid=8799&Rf-300=1924&Rf961=3343&Rf-800=-1,105&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Blue

becca have you tried looking on asos for something similar to the one you liked? for example i found this which is pretty similar within about 2 mins? http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Mini-Printed-Dress-With-Double-Skirt/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1948159&cid=8799&Rf-300=1924&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Print or this?…

I'm in...might as well since I'm also doing the pushups with you!? Just done W1 D1 column 3, 15, 18, 10, 10, 18

505 for me today, stupid bike had a flat tyre so added significant time into my normal to-and-from uni journey, but I walked it and apparently it burnt more..!?

I did 22 (well kinda 21.75) pushups on the exhaustion test and physically couldn't have done another one if I'd tried...I was desperate to make it to 21 though! Week 3 looks scary...but I am properly scared about Week 4...guess it serves me right for looking!

Just did W2 D3, 12, 13, 10, 10, 16 What has everyone managed for their exhaustion test? The final set for me always feels like an exhaustion test...but I guess that's coz it's the fifth set? I'm a bit worried I won't make 21 to stay in the second column...!?

Did w2 d2 yesterday (forgot to post), man it's getting so much harder...

Bahahahahaha, business as usual it is for tomorrow. (I added yesterday's 512 and today's 861 to the spreadsheet just now). I managed to convince my tired body to get to the gym this evening so I had a pretty good one, but I am DEFINITELY hitting the gym tomorrow...apparently the bf is cooking me dinner tomorrow night (and…

which is actually 3050.5miles because of the double burnage?

*owies* but I managed 1042!

sorry about my baby burn today, didn't want to overdo it too much today and wanted to save myself for mega-burnage tomorrow!

instead of cream try fat free fromage frais? or quark? or fat free natural yoghurt? beef would work aswell or turkey mince, or you could use lean lamb chunks from the butcher and get them to mince it for you (which would be free but more expensive)

Btw just did W2 D1 8 11 8 8 12, think this week is going to be a bit harder!

i did W1 D3 8 10 7 7 11 over the weekend but couldn't get onto the forums to post.

Bahahaha thank you cynthia! To be honest it's entirely because uni is stressing me out that I need that me time to burn and rant in my head...you would not imagine the number of people that have made it onto my hit list this weekend ready for much plotting of their imminent demises this week. Sorry for slacking and going…

I bought the tescos lean lamb mince and that was 11 syns for the whole pack – so you could have half of it for 5.5 syns…. Served with a Co-op or Asda Wholemeal Pitta bread (as they are both classed as healthy extra b choice) and loads of salad!!! Kebab Recipe Ingredients: 1 teaspoon plain flour 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2…

Heya When I started last Jan (Jan 2011)I was 23, 232lbs, and in December (2011, 11 months later) I got down to my goal of 164lbs. I'm now 24, still here, still on the wagon, still at goal, very happy to help motivate/support any way I can x

Forgot to post last night, W1, D2, 6,8,6,6,8 DONE!

I just ate over my calories (whilst on plan) IF I was hungry or wanted a carby day or steak or whatever. So whereas if I'm following mfp calories I might not go back and have seconds or a large portion of pasta/rice with my food...whilst I was losing the weight I'd go back and eat til I was satisfied even if that meant I…

Wahooo go you! I'm going to have a bit of a quieter day burn-wise today. I'll do 30DS in a bit, and then I have lots of packing to get done because I get my new house tomorrow! WOOOO, literally cannot wait to be free of my current landlord... Infact it'll probably be a fairly quiet weekend burn-wise with my dad and bf…

Personally yes...I did...(before I got to target...maintainance more difficult). but yes, I genuinely did just follow SW and log it on here...so most days I'd be around 1600-1800, but some days I'd be 2200+ (but all on plan). The plan is what you make of it, I think it's kinda counterproductive to try and do calorie…

it's ok, i'll assume that everything so far is fine, but i'm certainly taking my hrm cycling with me a few times so i get a better idea of my burns on it. i've just been using mfp estimates for it as i don't wear it to/from uni/shops/ wherever and i cycle everywhere...so now it will be strapped on and calculating for a few…

awesome! (also it was 194kcals difference so i felt like i earnt that!)

Sorry Jane, just synced my GPS HRM and i'd underestimated my cycle to and from zumba...so updated the spreadsheet, my burn was apparently actually 1148... might have to wear my hrm tomorrow to cycle and see the bf and see if i've been underestimating those cycle rides too!?

LOL! I'm achey and tired now...but cycled to and from uni, AND to and from zumba so a big 954 for me today. This is definitely the motivation I need. Going to take my gym stuff with me tomorrow to a full day of uni, and get in a workout before coming home. Unless I have a horrific day and then the hour of cycling will have…

decided to brave the cold and cycle the 20mins to zumba tonight instead of driving to help with the numbers...wish me luck! (also will report back later with numbers)

Day 1, column 2, 6, 6, 4, 4, 6 DONE!
