Please help!!!
So I'm back on the wagon as of last week. This week as well as staying within my calories every day bar one, I've been to the gym three times, been for a swim and walked at least 10,000 steps on around three to four days. I got on the scales this morning to find that I'd lost a measly 1lb. I'm so disappointed as I was…

Fitbit and an office job
I'd like to hear from any of you guys that own a Fitbit and work an office job. I currently work in a really active role and have had a Fitbit for 2 years. I easily hit my 10,000 steps by lunchtime in an average working day. I'm changing jobs at the end of the month and my Fitbit has just broken. The warranty has run out…

Elliptical and fitbit syncing
Help! So my Fitbit is synced with my MFP account and all is well but if I add the Elliptical to my exercises, the calories that I earned from my steps that day will drastically decrease. It doesn't happen if I add any other exercise so what is it about the Elliptical that it doesn't like?? I'm telling it what time I did it…

How much is a cup?
Hey guys, So, My Fitness Pals recommends that you drink around 8 'cups' of water a day. My question is....how much is a cup? I drink from a full pint glass so I take 8 cups to be 4 pints a day. Is that correct or is that too little or too much? Answers on a postcard :)

The best thing about dieting is...............
.................for me it's looking forward to and savouring everything I eat!! Everything tastes so much better and I appreciate it so much more when I'm dieting than when I'm just eating for the sake of eating! What's your favourite thing about dieting?? :)

Protein shakes.....when and how?
So I'm thinking about introducing a daily protein shake into my diet regime as I currently don't feel that I get enough protein in my diet. I'm a bit clueless as to when the best time to drink a shake is but mainly what I would like to know is whether I would still benefit from the shakes if I'm not necessarily doing…

So this is a weird one.......
....I think. So this week I've been craving craving craving crappy food basically. Anything and everything that for the past 5 months I have been quite happily avoiding. I've been giving in to my cravings here and there with a few sneaky biscuits, the odd Peanut Butter Mini Reeses Cup etc. Don't get me wrong, I always eat…

Panicking! Am I doing this right?
Hey guys, Those of you who read my posts etc will know that I recently switched from MFP's recommendation of 1200 cals to dieting the TDEE-20% way. I've probably been eating at my upped calorie figure for around 3 or 4 weeks now. Now before I go in to the reason for this post I will say that I'm well aware that my body…

Food diary help.....protein!
Hello guys and gals, So yesterday, after doing lots of reading and research, I upped my calories from MFP's recommended 1200 to 1680. I came to this figure by calculating my BMR and my TDEE and subtracted 20% from my TDEE which was 2100. I set my activity level as sedentary when calculating my TDEE as I still want to use…

What to eat to up your calories!
So! Today I have upped my calories based on my BMR and TDEE!! I have an inkling that I'm going to struggle to eat the extra calories AND make the right food choices! I'm guessing that I'm not going to get away with making up those extra cals with choccy and ice cream! Lol So I'd basically like to know some of the things…

Scared to up my calories.....
Hey guys, So I've just read this post..... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/931670-bmr-and-tdee-explained-for-those-needing-a-guide?hl=bmr ......and it sounds great and makes perfect sense! But now, and I'm sure I'm not the first person to feel this way, I'm panicking about upping my calories. Terrified even! Am I…

Eating exercise calories
Hi guys, I'm a bit clueless when it comes to whether or not I'm supposed to eat my exercise calories. MFP suggests I eat 1200 cals a day. That's based on a sedentary exercise level and wanting to lose 2lbs per week. I tend to stick to my 1200 a day regardless of how many cals I earn through exercise but I see a lot of…

CHOCAHOLICS AHOY!!
Hey guys, I'm after some suggestions. I try to incorporate something sweet and chocolatey into my diet everyday. The reason that I do this is because I am a chocolate fiend! If I start to crave chocolate and I don't have it then I'm likely to give in and go on a chocolate bender and eat three times my body weight! Haha If…

Sugars!!!!
So, I pretty much go over my sugars allowance everyday, not by too much, but I do and I'm well aware that it's most likely because I make a point of eating something sweet everyday so that I don't start craving and then give in to a binge. I eat well within my allotted calories but the little sweet bits take the sugars up.…

Does weight affect calorie burn?
Question: Does a heavier person burn more calories doing the same exercise a lighter person? What I mean is if I walked for 30 minutes with my other half would I burn more calories than him? He weighs about 138 pounds and I weigh about 100 more than that! If the answer is yes, does anybody know why? Thanks, Jade x
