Its slightly off I think. 15st7 is 217lbs. 15st4 is 214lbs.

If you get confused with stone to lbs, google '15 stone in lbs' as google has a built in calculator.

Im on a low fat diet...i wont let myself have more than 20g in a day, so its pretty hard going,

xxxxx

have you reduced your cals as well elli?

 

[Elli21]

Netty, no, i only worry about fat, but i do make sure that my calories stay well below the 1000 mark.xxx

 

[Pyrrhic]

If you eat less than 1,000 calories, any food you eat will be converted into fat for your body to stop it starving. It hoards the calories, anticipating that you won't be getting enough food. You need to eat about 1,200 to lose weight constantly.

Remember your body uses about 2,000 calories a day just existing, without any exercise.

Ill just go and calculate my intake for todays...and then try to add some... I dont mind

Thanks rafwife...Ive always gone on this diet when ive dieted and its the one that i find easier to stick to and it really works...but i dont want to lose weight unhealthily.

Think ive sorted my ticker out too!! xx

 

[Pyrrhic]

Yep, your ticker looks good

 

[polo_princess]

I did two 1.5 mile runs today. One in the morning, and just came back from my other one

 

[Pyrrhic]

Good luck for the weigh in girls. I'm sure we will all do fab. Everyone seems to have done well from the posts

Best time to weigh is afternoon, before lunch as our bodies naturally fluctuate in weight by about 2-3lbs per day so the afternoon gives us the most accurate result.

 

[RJ01]

I'm looking forward to weighing in I have been sooo good did 1 hour in the gym today too.

 

[Pyrrhic]

Well done hun

 

[Dizzy321]
