Yes, I think good idea to use sed, then eat back exercise cals (or even some). Much easier if, like they say, you have an easy day. I've changed my MFP to 1400 (which is actually v near my BMR), so if go over by 200-400 should be fine? If only typing on minimins used cals :-) Gillian xxx Sent...

After years of cal counting I found the up days difficult to 'relax'. The 500 cal dates were ok, was easier when you knew it was only for a day. I had seen the Horizon documentary months ago, and then read Johnstons book- so understood it, but it's not for me. The fat2fitradio site does suggest...

No-fuel band do say its not accurate for some activities-treadmill, cycling etc as part of its calculation equation is arm movement. While a HRM is much more accurate, I like the simplicity of just one thing, although might dig out my shoe sensor for treadmill accuracy. For me, as long as it...

Lindsay, don't fret. I have the nike fuelband and it's the same. I've stopped looking at cals/steps as its gotta be wrong. I'm just trying to 'get' as many fuel points as I can above my daily target. That way at least it motivates me to 'move more' as in walking to school/shop the odd time...

I think the level of activity u put then includes the cals you burn. If u think you are more than lightly active, change to active-which in turn will give you a higher tdee-and more cals to eat (instead of lightly active then eating back cals). I read though that everyone assumes they are more...

I've just re-started cal counting using Linski's advice. I'm expecting it to be slow (I'm on 1400-1509), but metabolism likely screwed with all the different diets over the years. And, like you say, it's manageable. Good luck G x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks, I will search out the site later on and get some numbers. I did see the other thread you were on, about the tdee etc but it all got a bit confusing. I'm sure my metabolism is screwed and if yours is same the fact you are not losing is temporary. Can't face going back to 1200 cals-cos...

I just can't get started back on JUDDD either. Have zero willpower. However, I would recommend an ap called true weight (free). You log your weight whenever you weigh-it then calculates your 'true weight' which kinda averages it out. Helps keep you on the straight and narrow if the scales...

Think you mean me? No the DD can be low (but Johnstone in the book says 500 is still a good DD amount). Also, you should also put in the activity as the one below what you think. So if u put in 'active' should change to 'slightly active'. He says that people always assume they are more active...

If you google JUDDD you can find Johnstone Up Day Down Day site. You can enter your stats (it's free) and it will give you calorie guidelines for Ups and Downs specific to your height/weight etc. I read the book too, but the website has pretty much all the info you need. I think it will...

Omg that song was in my head too, 'it's nearly Christmas so just ditch it for now' especially when arranging next trainer date for 10th jan!! But no, I'm not promising to do it throughout but actually think it's possible. Tom night be diff as hubby out so movie night for me and kids but defo...

Finally bought a soup maker-love it. So easy. Tried and tested Derbynannys Tomato and Red Pepper Soup-it's lovely. My only other recipe is veg from supermarket (morrisons/tesco soup mix bag), with stock-usually with pepper and-or chilli powder. Also low in cals and tasty. Had a disaster with...

UD. TOTM, shitty cold has returned, feel huge, still feel tender on bahookie. Did 2 runs. Soup stuff all set for Tom. Sticking with it :-) G x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yes-managing not to count. But still got tail end of cold. Found the dd difficult today-craving carb/sugar. Think as TOTM due-feel bigger and bigger as day goes on. Also running still not up to full speed. Can still feel a wee stiff/sore bit on my bum/tailbone where I feel last week-MUCH better...

Ending on 664 :-/ Not great, not a disaster either. Feel big TOTM due G c Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I will. Grace back at school and I'm a bit better too, hoping a decent sleep will nail it. Off for run now-and later on will get soup stuff for tomoz. Hubby REALLY loved your soup-he's a bigger fan than me of tomato anyways. I really like the fact it's all in soup maker and just left to get...

Think u forgot something there-busy, crappy pub at Christmas! Equals hot, smelly, dirty and dodgy food. I absolutely agree. Some days it's just so crappy for it all to go wrong-stick to your guns. You are sooo right though. This morning I did think ' I will just have another dd'. But no-it's...

I can't do an UD and NOT count cals as I do go completely overboard. I did that week 2 and thats when it all went to pot for me. It is interesting re exercise and weight loss. I found (several months ago) when I was ccounting and upped my daily cals to 1400 instead of 1200 I lost more-even...
