When I put my mind to it
When I focus I can lose weight, I know quite a lot about nutrition and I exercise a lot, I clearly eat too much. I think I have a physiological issue that stops me from losing weight. Example I run 9 min miling, I can do one mile at 7 mins, I hear myself say to others I'm rubbish at running because I'm fat, really I think…

I did a bike ride this week (actually did it twice) 75 miles, 7000 feet of hills averaged 14mph, my garmin said 6645 & 6130, mfp says 4456 all these numbers are bonkers, in no way can I burn this amount of calories, firstly…

Exercise
I'm confused, I'm on 800 calories a day, I usually eat more because I walk and count steps, 10,000 steps =500 cal eat back half. Today I went for a run, 6 miles in 60 minutes mfp says 945 calories, surely this can't be right ?

Feeling rough experienced LCHF
I have followed LCHF off and on for quite sometime, since new year I've had issues at home meaning food and planning has been all over the place.

MFP got calories burn't correct
Each time I exercise I manually enter my calories burn't from my Garmin, recently I have noticed that mfp & my Garmin are getting closer, today mfp got it right. So whats going on ? is mfp learning from my manual inputs or have they generally altered their cal's burnt.

Anyone seen my motivation ? I've lost it.
I'm usually the mentally strongest person you'll ever meet, I dip in and out of LCD, I don't do LCHF. LCD works really well for me, I can train on it well, I race on it well, it makes me feel good, so why can't I stick to it ? I do really well then I sabotage it. I kind of think subconsciously I want to stay fat so I have…
