How does weight training affect your weight?
Hello, So I recently started exercising and dieting again, after a surgery. 29 yr old female, 157cm, 88 kilos I am doing the 5:2 diet, and have Mon and Wed at 500 cals, and the other days netting 1600, but realistically eat over 2000 as I exercise 1-2 times per day on these days and eat back most of the cals. I wear a HRM…

Morning vs Evening
Hi All, So a couple of times a week I do RPM, one on a Tuesday morning at 7am, get up at 6am, no breakfast before. The other at 12.15pm on a Friday which is before lunch but after breakfast. I wear a HRM for both sessions, and the heart rate, and therefore calorie burn is much higher on the Friday session. I can 'burn'…

Food to help with overtraining
Hello, So there is a competition on at my gym for most group fitness classes attended during the Tour De France. 23 days or something. There are some great prizes, but mostly I’m doing it for me. I’m currently in third, which I’m pretty happy with. The classes are all the Les Mills, plus things like Pilates. The thing is,…

Tell me how much I should net?
So I've lost 57lbs so far, in just under a year which I am very pleased about, but I still have more to go. Around 20-25 I think. Lately I'm not losing, I know that its partly because of being too social on weekends, but also I'm just not sure if my cal level is right. I weigh 73.9 kilos (11 stone 8.5) and am 5ft 2. I have…

How many inches lost in a stone
Hello all, so I have lost over 50lbs, but unfortunately didn't take measurements. I have one stone to lose until my first target of 11 stone, 154lbs. However my best friend is getting married in September, I think I can lose this stone by September, but I don't know what measurements to order the dress in. My current…

3 weeks in Asia
So we are going away in just over 4 weeks. I have done really well lately, I got on my thyroid meds in March, and joined MFP in July, I am now 27lbs lighter and am very pleased with my success so far. We are going to Cambodia and Vietnam for 3 weeks, and I am so worried about what I'll put on. We're doing a lot of…

Loss per week setting
I am lightly active as I don't have a car now and walk to the tram stop, walk to the gym, walk to work from the tram etc. I weigh 192lbs down from 220. I am 5ft 2. 2lbs a week gives me 1200 net cals, 1lb a week gives me 1600 and 1.5 gives me 1350. I have been trying to stick to 1200 net (I eat my exercise calories) with…

Losing Weight from funny places
I have only lost about 14lbs, so not heaps, probably only a 5th of the weight I need to lose in total, however I have started to notice it gone from some funny places. As I had an untreated hypothyroid for years I have a LOT of belly weight, that is still there, but I have really noticed places like my wrists, forearms,…

Sedentary or lightly active?
Well I track all my food and exercise everyday which is great. I automatically put sedentary as I do a desk job, however I’m far less sedentary than I was when I lived in the UK and owned a car each so I’m wondering. Before I used to go, home, car on drive, work car park, desk then reverse! Now I have to walk 400m to the…

Pilates
So i have been exercising a lot, a mixture of Pump and Cardio and feeling stronger and slimmer but I have noticed that my core muscles are non existant! Nearly all my classes have an abs track and I just collapse usually. Would Pilates be a good thing to add to my workouts? Or do you think that core strength will be easier…

Carb Balance!
So I guess what I want to know, is whether it is bad to have your balance of carbs too high, as long as you are still within your cal guidelines? I love carbs, plus my body seems to love carbs too, I get a lot of energy from them. I tend to eat cereal for breakfast, maybe a sandwich or beans on toast for lunch, and dinner…

Les Mills Classes
Anyone these classes and what do you do? I aim for body pump twice a week, then a mix of Cardio inc Combat, Attack, RPM and Zumba! I never know my calories burnt to log though! I love the classes though, got a bit addicted!

Confused about my calorie intake!
Hi everyone! Don't mean to be annoying but I'm really confused about my calorie levels. I am 157cm and 96kg, I have a BMR of about 1737. If I x by 1.2 this means that I burn about 2100 cals a day by just being alive, going to work etc! Hope this is right so far. So my doctor recommended losing weight slowly, and to protect…
