Did you ever find it on fitday CG?
The only info I put in was my weight. I just saw on calories burned today basal. So my question is do they work out work your basal is just from your weight??? Sorry to be so thick.

Freethetoys - if you put on weight while eating the same cals as your BMR you really would need to go and see the doctor. The government keep telling us that the recommended daily amount for a woman to MAINTAIN is 2000 cals - and the more you weigh the higher your BMR is.

CG and Chris, I think BMR is worked out according to age/weight/general activity.

Free... your diet seems low fat but watch the sugar!..... cereal bars, ice cream are bad for that etc.. it converts straight into the bad stuff !......

you may put on the 1st week or so... as your body is thinkin woo hoo food at last.... but after then you should see results with exercise...

I'm up just over a pound this week so I'm back to where I was 2 weeks ago. Starting to feel a little disillusioned with it all again, that Monsoon dress seems like it gets further away every week. But I found a bike that I can buy second hand for £35 so maybe that will give me the kick up the backside I need.

Wanna - I'm feeling a bit the same as you... I think I'm going to get out the food scales and start keeping my food and exercise diary again. I'm not sure why I stopped... I know I'm getting a bit heavy handed with my portions.

Sarah - get the book and scales out immediately and don't feel down. I'm a fine one to talk normally but today i feel positive i've just looked properly at your stats and seen how far to come. You've lost absolutely tons and you don't have that far to go. You can do it!

Thanks for the kind words Sarah and Lou.
My bike is actually a proper outdoors bicycle - I intend to cycle to Uni every day, as walking hasn't done any good at all. I lost weight before cycling in but that bike was a real cheapy and its pretty done.
I already have an indoor bike but it doesn't seem to help either - seems I need to get out and really challenge my body to lose weight. And my Monsoon dress was bought in the sale last week - reduced from £85 to £25.50!

Do you have to remind me that's me on the scales tomorrow.

I'm going for a new start tomorrow as I haven't been sticking to any healthy eating plans.

I wished I hadn't looked now

I am up to 96.3 kg - about 15st 2lb - no wonder my trousers are tight. This is the heaviest I have been -ever! I blame payday - I can afford to eat now!!

BU**ER.

My problem is that I am eating EXTREMELY healthily - or so I thought.

Culprit no 1: I got the Diet Doctors' book for Chrimbo and I got all enthusiastic after reading it - their eating plan is very balanced - and VERY windy .... basically low fat protein, oily fish - and loads of fruit, nuts, seeds, beans and veggies. *parp* - sorry, pardon me!

Culprit no 2: I've been watching The Truth About Food - once again, all the info given in the various programmes makes sense... On their website you can watch the segments from previous and FUTURE programs so I 'pre-watched' the soup diet segment in next week's programme - and it seemed like an excellent idea - so I've made gallons of soup - yet more veggies and beans - *parp* (pardon me!) BUT they also have got a really good bit which shows that if we eat more dairy foods our bodies will eliminate fat *polite cough* by way of the loo... then, of course, there was the segment that said if we eat more protein we feel more satisfied for longer. (For me dairy and protein eaten on the same day equals... wind ... what a surprise!)

Well.... put that all together and you end up being the one person that NOBODY wants to be in a small room with ... with a net weight gain of 2lbs in a week.

*parp* - pardon me!

Oh dear! I'm sure you'll straighten out soon!

I do like those little pro biotic drinks. They seem to keep me settled in the old tum department

Are you just eating too much healthy stuff?
