Lose Weight 23

Missy™

FFM, 1.8lb gain is a bargain for all that! Well done to you for continuing to be within your limits and to everyone else who has reported a positive result this week

I'm reading Sports Nutrition (also from the library of course!) Interesting stuff about how strict dieting and excessive exercising can reduce your BMR by 10-30%

Anyway, all looking good here! On track with calorie intake (slightly under 1600/day) and this is now my 6th week of exercising at a rate of 3-4 hours per week. I've done two 1 hour cross country runs, 35 mins outdoor cycling and 30 mins on the treadmill. Will probably do another 30 mins on the home equipment this weekend Really hoping for a STS on Monday *crossed fingers*

Missy, sounds like you've got to grips with your balance of food and exercise. Based on the book you are reading do you think you were undereating and overexercising? and that had affected your BMR?

They've jazzed up the BMI calculator on the NHS website http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyweightcalculator.aspx?Tag=

I've just checked out the whole family

Thanks FFM! I'm halfway there at the moment. This year my maintaining has gone...

FROM THIS> 1200 cals/day + average 7 to 10 hours exercise a week

TO THIS> 1500 cals/day + 3 to 4 hours moderate+ exercise a week

and I'm trying to to get...

TO THIS> 1970 cals/day + 3 to 4 hours moderate+ exercise a week

Once I've finished the book I hope to have a better idea of why I keep getting stuck, and what I can do about it! I have made progress though, so I'm really happy with that.

I like the new BMI calc, it came up as 20.3 for me whereas my formula says 20.4 :rotfl:

according to the wii fit my bmi is rubbish. i did an extra 15 mins today because it was the weekend.

was very unmse and had a microdermabrasion. I'm REALLY tempted to go for the 10 course thing, i couldn't beleive the yack it sucked out - i have really bad blocked pores on my nose and it's just emptied them. IT felt like having my face vacuumed - v odd!

Beanie - i have a friend who has a good figure and is in proportion and her bmi 'technically' says she's overweight too. It's a good guide but it isn't set in stone.

Thanks Brighton belle.
I know, just a tad of a downer & I am a wee bit on a downer at the mo anyway.
Hopefully things will pick up soon.

Life can be hard sometimes beanie, I know. I felt really grey a lot of the summer after a very difficult winter with my health. Somedays it was easier than others to ride it out .I hang on to the knowledge that nothing stays the same for ever, so to treasure the good moments and ride out the sad/difficult times. Sometimes a lot easier said than done of course. Hope things pick up for you soon:grouphug:.
