Yes!!!! Cold all the time.. I’m a proper Yorkshire woman and it pains me to put the fire on but I can’t help itIs anyone else colder after they've lost weight? I am freezing all the time and just cannot get warm.
Yep definitely, my least favourite one is low salt and sugar Heinz Beans.. ughhh. Not worth the few cals you save.I'm all for "healthy swaps" but does anyone else find some of them just not good or the same at all?
I’d rather the few extra calories for 5% fat mince rather than the turkey ones!! They’re ok for meatballs or something like that but defo not bolognaseI'm all for "healthy swaps" but does anyone else find some of them just not good or the same at all?
We switched to turkey mince for example when doing bolognese for a while - made it a few times and then just stopped making bolognese because I just didn't enjoy it! A month or two ago went for the lean beef mince instead and made a bolognese, and it tasted so good. I think there are just some things for some people you can't swap!
However burger, for example, are another story entirely for me. I love a turkey burger or a meat free burger. Still enjoy the beef ones but think other kinds are just as good or better.
Really? Maybe my maths is just shitThat’s a 0.5 a week loss on average, is it possible your TDEE calculation was too generous? That seems to suggest the deficit you’re eating at is approx 250 a day, if no underlying health conditions. I was reading the other day about metabolisms being damaged by years of dieting etc though and I think that might be why eating eg 1500-1600 cals doesn’t work for me even though mathematically it ought to
Saying this. My maintenance is supposed to be 2400 - so am I being silly? I don’t knowThat’s a 0.5 a week loss on average, is it possible your TDEE calculation was too generous?

Pretty much that simple.Hello, I've just joined the thread-I've read this one right through and some of your losses and methods have motivated me to join! I have 4ish stones to lose. I've been following a loose no refined carbs way of eating, which hasn't been working, so I'm getting a bit stricter. I'm doing 2 hours (2 x 1hr) of circuits/weights a week and adding in cardio when classes can restart in May. I can't run any longer until I've lost a couple of stones. My TDEE seems to be 2384 and MFP have calculated me 1700cal per day. Is it as siple as trying it and seeing how it goes? Thank you in anticipation of your kind guidance!
Thank you-I wasn't sure if I was over simplifying it and missing something. It's not going to be easy, but I'll start tomorrow and see how I go.Pretty much that simple.
Yep just make sure you're logging your calories accurately, so make sure to check packaging, weigh food where you can and if you stick to those numbers you should see a loss. You may lose a few lbs initially from water weight then it should start to regulateHello, I've just joined the thread-I've read this one right through and some of your losses and methods have motivated me to join!

If you find 500 deficit is too much of a struggle do 250 and work up from there. It's slower but if you can sustain it then it will be more beneficial long term.Thank you-I wasn't sure if I was over simplifying it and missing something.

Yeah that should be 1 lb a week then. Have you lost a lot of inches? If you’re doing a lot of weights that could be playing havoc with the scalesReally? Maybe my maths is just shit
when I was having 1200 I struggled to have the energy to exercise
Saying this. My maintenance is supposed to be 2400 - so am I being silly? I don’t know
if I change my exercise to ‘light’ it gives me 2100 maintenance so even then 1500 should be ok shouldn’t it?
Im getting confused
I’m not sure, I’ve just ordered a tape measure as the h broke my one so hoping that’ll help. I do feel stronger and I can feel my muscles aching/burning so something is happening. It’s just not weight !Yeah that should be 1 lb a week then. Have you lost a lot of inches? If you’re doing a lot of weights that could be playing havoc with the scales
