Original Post by nikidust: Hi Niki I did use the site tool to get an idea or cal intake per day then added the extra exercise and set my target around 1800, I try to keep it around 1700 though as i always recon a few cals here and there are forgot about or portions a tad bigger. Will do the weigh In's at the start of the day as suggested |

Figure wise i,m running about 1600 or 1700 a day so i reckoned even if i was out a bit my allowance of 1850 would still be ok I'm glad i,m not alone in loosing nothing for the first 2 weeks, i was getting worried, as most people say you loose the most in the first week Kate's got me well on the oats now, though went for a boiled egg this morning with toast instead, I see some people talk about egg whites, can you buy em separated or do u just take the yoke and chuck it then do ???? with the whites. |

Veggie soup rocks, Shin is fine but chicken and veggie is my fav with loads of barley and lentils. Having some for lunch :) I dunno what way my weight is going, dont think i ever weighted myself regular before until this week and its all over the show one night its 169 the next its 171 then 2 nights later its 169, so i,m rather lost and annoyed to say the least. decided to do it this morning and its 168........... anyone know when you should weigh yourself as its kinda hard to know if my diet is actually working after 10 days grrrrrrrrrrrrrr |

I'm glad to hear that the cravings get easier, I must admit that's my biggest problem at the moment, not sure whether its down to quitting smoking a couple of months ago and no having a we tipple at night or the food issue, but its not easy lol, The curry was a wee cheat as I just used a jar of tikka , added an onion, red pepper, and those aduki beans i had cooked along with some lean chicken. Normal basmalti rice as I have a big bag of it but will get around to wholemeal rice at some point. you can eat plenty of porridge in the morning that's brain food, you'll walk the exam

I must have a play about with that analyzer do da, but when making a big pot of soup i dont really weigh stuff I tend to pur and chuck stuff in and using the chicken to get stock etc will be fun to work out, I dont care really as apart from a wee bit of fat from the roasted chuckie its all really good stuff in there. I'm going ok with the diet you seem pretty good at it, funny thing is we always want whats bad for us, why can we not crave apples and oranges lol Hope you do well in the Exam tmw Kate, well i,m sure u will anyways tonights tea here is chicken curry with boiled rice, that will fill the tummy up. |

Hope you enjoy the tea Kate, I've just had mine egg noodles fried in a wee bit of sesame oil, small piece of frying steak, carrots and butternut squash. the Red meat jumped the calories but still got about 300 left for today if i fancy something later ......which i will Breakfast tmw is porridge or beans on toast lunch is soup dinner is curry i think got to do sommit with those beans, I got them cooked this evening. Think your right on the Calories burned during exercise, though my heart rate was well up from rest. Anyways I'm just using the cals burned in exercise to have the odd wee treat |

The only thing I use lentils for before was home made soup with barley, veg and chicken or else shin some times. Hmm i wont have a prob filling in the cals for today Just before xmas I took into talking the dog for decent walks around a local forest park, route is supposed to be 3.5 miles and takes 60 mins if you walk reasonably quick, firm ground and some soft, the amount of energy burned does confuse me though, my watch which does cals and heart rate recons 500 plus or minus depending on the day but looking at stats on the web they say about 300. Think I,ll use the low figures just to be sure.

the not so fun bit is knowing when i,m home there's mince pies, shortbread, buns, ice cream, i swear I'll start dreaming about the stuff soon, but I had visions of turning into a rabbit and eating fish to loose weight and diet, I hate all those companies that exploit people with pills and potions grrrrrrrrrrr they just don't work long term. Kate some duck with plum sauce would go well with that fried rice I,m guessing this is my figures for today so far. tried to ember pic but forum does not support it http://www.vxopel.com/pic/temp/70109.jpg
My job for this evening will be to figure out what to do with those funny beans i soaked in water overnight |

spinach.................yukkie I'm no Popeye I do have an issue with some veg, cheers for the stats on flora, i think i just used benecol in my food log, I'm really surprised at the cornflakes figures and just to think Mr kell keeps telling us how good they are for us, hmmmmmmmmmmm porkies springs to mind. I think I may have to drink more, IE water not JD and coke. who ever said diets were not fun, you meet nice people and learn heaps

Got the message Kate thanks you got this going , Hi Jane beans and toast yummie poached eggs on toast yummie though i normally boil them and have soldiers lol, wooooooooooooow I thought they would be no no foods as i had it in my head high calories, but when I seen 300 cals approx i decided to have a quick look at what i would of had for breakfast before this adventure. have to admit never was a big breakie fan, prob due to eating late at night before, but i find myself hungry in the mornings now, So far with the input i,m actually feeling pretty good, welllllllllll apart from one thing stood on scales on Monday night was 12.1 on Tuesday night 12.2 sommit really weird there BMI is 24.5 at the mo. Lunch today hmmmmmm Salisbury's taste the difference multi-seed loaf 2 slices with ham, used flora light as well but ain't got a clue how many calories would be in that ? Followed by a spelga low fat yogurt poured over a mandarin orange and about 8 grapes. One question when you say fill half the plate with veg etc does that include spuds |

I was good this morning :) a cup of hot water with some lemon juice in it and some porridge with loads of cinnamon and a sweetner. I read somewhere on one of the forums, where a lady adds loads of Cinnamon to her porridge will have to find a few other things to have but aint got a clue what as yet i need ideas |

Original Post by kateveeoh: This past couple of days I was around 1700, but today was lower as I missed a meal and hmmmmm hungry yes so just had a chicken sandwich For now the night time snacks are going, pizza, bread crumb prawns, cheese and crackers ooooooo and no vodka and coke or JD The under eating bit is worrying me though, would hate to do this and not loose a pound, I would have to console myself with a bottle of wine and a Chinese |

Now I understand the 500 per day approach, As a starting point I recon i need 2300 cals per day less 500 so that's a target of 1800 max, I,m trying to target around 1650 to start with to see how I go. Though I have started to increase my exercise over and above what I would normally burn in a day. If I burn 250 of in extra exercise does this mean I only need to reduce the calorie intake by 250 to achieve the 500 difference ? I see a lot of people opt for porridge, can't say its something i really like which is one of my problems with this diet unfortunately. Though I can take it 2 or 3 days a week OK. Lentils and beans I bought some today to try |

porridge, coffee for breakie homemade veg soup with shin and lentils for lunch boiled mashed potatoes, lean frying steak, butternut squash, peas for dinner supper low fat yogurt , pineapple, apple, wee orange
and i still went over my target grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 1500 cant get the hang of this at all |
|||
then follow the green line
I suppose i better weigh some things but at least I don't have to do that with fruit etc, potatoes and veg etc i sorta guess and allow what the figures say for a chicken breast etc.
on top of the added exercise, and no drink at night lol, though one night this week we had a wee tipple 
I really like the yogurts and fruit, as a snack in the evenings, mind you if i,m low i just may have a chicken and mayo toastie.
