Getting into the 8's!

[dream of being skinny]

Thank you you'll get there soon too Honestly, I thought I'd never get there and it took aaaages lol

Hi just been reading threads I have managed to get in the 8's but ova Xmas put few pounds on which took me back to 9 I'm finding it really hard to get back down. I'm a cook so around food all day, I do exercise 6 days a week never eaten my 49 weeklies as I gain if I do it's an ongoing struggle

 

[8stoneplease]

I'm the exact same! Took so long to get down into the 8s then I completely ruined it over Christmas, so annoyed at myself! I eat all my weeklies, wouldn't be able to do the diet otherwise, I can't give up my nights out at the weekends haha

Crikey! It's tough when you have less to lose isn't it

Yep. And I worked out today using basal metabolic rates that I have to have just 26 a day now without any weeklies to even lose a lb. I guess that's why I've plateaued.

If you don't mind me asking how did you work it out ? I went on it and worked out my bmr and the calories I should be eating but I don't calorie count jus pp ?!

Approx. 40 calories is 1pp so I worked out my bmr in pp for maintaining. I multiplied by 7 to give me a weeks worth, minused the calories for 1 lb loss, 1.5 lb loss and also 2 lb loss to give a new calorie total and then divided by 40 and rounded accordingly to give me pp.

Just calculated mine, if I want a lb a week I can have 29 per day and no weeklies, with weeklies I am looking at half a lb per week, no way I can give up the weeklies so half a lb it is I guess!! haha

You're a bit luckier than me then

Sure- I need your age

I'm 36 thank you !!! Not sure a bag of peanut m&ms is good at 14pp but it was needed lol x

Mmm I love m&ms! Okay, I make it 1330 * 1.55 (this was the activity level for 5 days a week) = 2061.5 kcals to maintain or apparently 51.5pp to maintain- 51 or 52 which way you look at it.

2061.5 * 7 = 14430.5 kcals a week (taken to maintain)
14430.5 - 3500 (calories for 1 lb loss) = 10930.5
10930.5 / 7 = 1561.5 kcals or 39pp a day (includes weeklies on top of dailies)

I'm not too sure how accurate it'll be - this is my first week of trying it so I guess I'll see how successful it is. It seems accurate enough to me if people calorie counting can use bmr to work out their loss, why can't we convert that to propoints? Hoping it'll work or I'm just going to look like a huge tool now lol.

Yeah, welcome! I know what you mean about the weight loss slowing down, mine is at an absolute standstill since Christmas! I'm similar to you, my goal is around 8 but would like to see the 7 aswell as to give myself a bit of room to gain a few lbs haha

Well so far this week I'm sticking to ww pp and im doing ok but it's the weekends I struggle !! I have also been completing the calorie counting too I eat no more than 1800 a day average out at 1700 I guess that's with 5/6 days of hard exercise for 1hr at a time !! The scales are being kind so far and I'm back in the 8s JUST but like I said its the weekends I just seem to say no to bread sweets and chocolate ?
