How do you change your BMR?
On here? And do you go by the calculation you did on here, or the HB Formula? :ohwell:

Reduced calorie Jamie Oliver warm salad.
I was just watching Jamie Oliver's 15 Minute Meals and he did a lovely Indian style warm salad. Looks delicious on TV and obviously is quick to make! Now his consisted of tikka chicken, naan, a yogurt dressing and his usual half pint of olive oil! That came in at over 600 calories. I have entered it in my diary and got…

Appetite gone WILD.
I've just started going to the gym after 18 months of being idle. I used to run around 18 months ago about 5-6 times a week, and have walked my dog and used a kettlebell since then, but nothing major as I started working full-time. At the gym 3 times a week I do roughly 45 mins weights, 15-20 mins HIIT. I joined 3 weeks…

Eating below 1000 calories
Waiting to see a specialist from the Gastroenterology unit on the 15.01.13. I have an undiagnosed stomach condition (I currently think it may be Gastroparesis after being on meds for a few different things inc an ulcer, IBS, acid reflux), and mainly consuming liquids seems to be the only thing that helps longer term. Only…

Throwing up... do I eat?
I know none of you are doctors, and I'm seeing one Friday morning. I have a so far undiagnosed stomach condition. Have seen 4 doctors, and have been on failed medication for an ulcer, IBS, and acid reflux. This has gradually been getting worse for around 3 years now. I'm hoping they'll finally send me for an endoscopy as…

Suddenly needing a lot of food to feel full?
All of a sudden I seem to have developed a massive appetite! I've been making my usual meals, and within an hour or so I'm hungry again. It's just like I'm constantly hungry, yet my activity levels have decreased as I've gone from an active job where I was on my feet for 7 hours a day, to an office job where I'm sat down a…

I can't EVER have a cheat day? HELP
I've been on here consitently March and have only lost at most 7.6lb. I'll lose, have a cheat day, gain, spend the rest of the week losing it... cheat again... gain... lose... gain... ARGH! Before the weekend I'd got back down to my lowest weight of the year 147.2lb. Saturday I was going to my friends... then at the last…

I don't get it.
So, I started on MFP eating 1200, and quickly went to 1400-ish. I lost 7lb around that number. I have an active job (only sit down on my 45 min break) and so after reading more on here, I started upping my calories. I got to 1722 and kept at that for a month. I gained 3lb, and just kept bouncing around the same number. The…

444 net for the day
Daily goal: 1440. (this is also my BMR and I eat back some of my exercise calories, depending on how much I've burnt, obviously) Intake so far today: 1422. Exercise today: 978. (lots of walking with my dog, calculated with HRM and then I deduct 1 calorie per min, which is what I burn when just sat doing nothing) Net: 444.…

What kind of weights should I start with?
So I'm currently improving my diet each week and I think it's okay for now. I'm getting sufficient calories, carbs, protein, over on fibre but I drink a good 3L of fluids a day. I have the odd something naughty, but in general eat good things. On the exercise front, I currently do cardio about 5 times a week. About 3 times…

Walking & jogging trainer?
So I've been planning on moving house, so I started to save up a bit of money. I'm now 90% sure I'm gunna stay put, sooo I thought I can use a little amount for some walking and jogging trainers, and use the rest for debts and bills. At the minute I go in cheap black pumps! I only want to spend about £30-35 as I can't…

Too much water? 5L today... help!
Since around 5am yesterday (Wednesday) morning (it's now 3am Thursday morning - yes, I'm going to bed asap lol), I have so far drank 4 litres of fluids. I just made another 1L bottle of squash. This is 19 glasses on my ticker, of which 18 are plain water or water with added 'squash' (fruit diluted drink to add to water to…

Heart rate when exercising?
So for the first time with my HRM, I did some jogging on my dog walk. I did 9 minutes, and most of them were at a slowish pace I could handle, and about 3 of them I pushed myself (still not going very fast - I'm veryyy unfit >.<) I noticed when jogging at the slower pace, my heart rate went up to just below 200, and my…

Should I eat more?
Got my HRM through this week. From calories burnt, on a quiet night at work, I'm burning 250-300 cals an hour. On a busy night I don't know yet as haven't used it when it's busy yet. Say I burn 4000-5000 a week at work, and 300 on 5 other days of the week roughly (will have to test this next week as I'm working solidly…

People trying to feed you crap!
Getting more and more annoyed. I see someone regularly, and every time I see her, she's like 'do you want some cake? pasta? sweets? ice cream?' etc etc. Even when I say no, she's like 'why? why not? go on, just have one. one wont harm!'. Some days I lose count of how many things I am offered. Basically, she doesn't listen…

What would happen IF you
did a table salt flush? I have no sea salt in my house. Do you have to drink it warm? What happens if you only do 500ml?

Breathing in VS. breathing out
For about 5+ years now I've been breathing in a bit. It's my natural posture now. The only time this changes, is when I sleep or purposely breathe out. Because of this, I measure myself in my breathing in posture. I don't even realise or notice I'm doing it any more. Maybe I should breathe in a lot more and look skinny all…

OMG I can't believe it!
So every day I've been exercising and logging every thing that goes in to my mouth. Been doing that since Feb 15th. Lost 3lb, for it to pile back on again. Lost a couple of inches, but again, the figures bounce around. I was wondering why nothing is happening when I'm making sure I'm eating a bit better during the week…

Where to buy HRM?
I'm thinking of getting one, but I don't have a lot of spare cash and live in the U.K. Has anyone from the U.K. got one? Where did you get yours? How much was it, and would you recommend it? Thanks! :bigsmile:

Constantly tired?
It seems no matter how little or how much I sleep for, I'm constantly tired. I've been awake for 2 hours, and I could quite happily go back to bed! I'm always like this. I stayed in bed an extra hour and a half this morning because I couldn't get up and kept falling back asleep and sleeping through my alarm. Some nights…

I always want to eat MORE
So I just ate about an hour ago. I was stuffed when I had finished my Quorn lamb grill, cheesy veg and mash potato. Now, just over an hour later, I feel like I want to eat again. I kinda feel like I'm hungry, but I know I can't be? Does anyone else get this? It's like I just want to shovel a load more food in, and almost…

[RANT] Feeling stuck and disappointed
So yesterday, after gaining back the 3lb I'd lost over a 2 week period, I thought RIGHT! THAT'S IT! The first day back on it. I prepared a pitta for work for on my break. I work in a nightclub and am usually on a busy bar burning 1000 cals a shift. I get to work, hardly any staff in as it's the Easter break for Uni…

Losing weight a set back?
It's Saturday afternoon here in the U.K. Thursday I had a McDonalds and was over my net cals by nearly 500. Yesterday with work cals, I ended up 1000 under. I have lost 1.6lb since I last weighed in, which was 3 days ago. Although I'm pleased about that, it makes me think. Yesterday until around 6 or 7pm, all I had all day…

Going to be about 500 over today!
I am already 300+ over today, due to me going to McDonalds with a friend before work this lunch time (1PM). I planned on only having a McFlurry (375 cals) and was't concerned about that as I burn calories off at work (around 900 burned today). However, my friend bought me a meal and I ate most of it as I was hungry and…
-
Should I up my cals?
Firstly, please read before just saying 'yes'... I've been in recovery from an eating disorder for around a year now. For the past few years I've aimed my daily cals to be less than 1000. I'm a lot better now, but am worried to eat lots of cals as I'm not used to it and scared weight will pile on! I joined here 15th Feb…

Surely this can't be right??
"Awesome calorie burn - 800 to 1000 calories an hour depending on your weight and how fast you kick!" That is what Google is telling me when I'm trying to find out how many calories I will have burnt roughly doing 40-ish minutes going to the supermarket and back on my push scooter (saves me carrying back bags!). For anyone…

Soo confused! (long)
This may end up being a bit long, as I have a tendency to ramble! :tongue: So to cut a looong story shorter, I am 21 next month. I have had a history with eating disorders from the age of 8, and during 2009-2010 I attended an out-patients unit twice a week. When I joined, I was on a cycle of starving/binging, was obsessed…

Rough meal plan - advice??
I've made a little 3 day rough meal plan, and would like some advice on anything I could change? I don't have a clue how many calories there will be in the plan, so I'll be playing it by ear, so to speak! Also *slowly* upping my calories and exercising more. I don't eat a very varied diet currently, and so *slowly* I'm…

The difference a couple of days makes!
I only joined here at the start of the week, and was still quite sceptical about eating more. However, for the past 4-ish days, I've exercised for an hour or more every day, and ate more than my 800-1000 I was allowing myself before. Although I have put ON 2lb since I joined, I have lost half an inch off my waist :smokin:…
