Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I’ve just come across this thread and think it could help me with my autumn goals, if you don’t mind me joining in :-)

I’d already decided that Monday will be “kick off” day. That seems to fit in nicely with this group! The accountability will be very helpful.

GOALS:

1. Lose 10kg by December. Use My Fitness Pal to record calories - MFP suggests 1200 cals /day.
2. Train for and run Great South Run (currently only running max 4 miles). Run 3x per week - 1 parkrun distance, 1 easy, 1 longer run.
3. 10000 steps a day (I know it’s an arbitrary number but it will focus my efforts to move more!)

Welcome Alice! Sidebar updated.

Please check out thejamessmithpodcast.libsyn.com - Pix has had a listen I think. It talks about weight loss for women. The reason this is important and maybe we can all chat about this is that you will have selected max weight loss, will get pissed off and hungry and 1200 calories is not a lot - it's common for women to struggle because the BMR figure is so low. James Smith went for 1500cal and 10k steps. He also doesn't say you can eat your calories fro exercise but includes it in his calculator's figure.

I prefer calculating the BMR and adding weight loss to that but I am allowed to eat calories from exercise. His reasoning is that the - reward of food is unhealthy and today I understand why - yesterday I logged 2x walks giving 400 calories extra. Today I have nearly done same steps but not logged walking so can't eat those calories.

Good luck and we're all here to chat as you need.

For years I have always added exercise in my calculations.I don't exercise to eat more I do it because it is on my schedule and I enjoy it .But that last 10 days have been interesting and I rather work to one figure for the week than up and down especially on rest days.

jamessmithacademy.com His calculator is here which will give you a more ‘realistic’ average daily number. (ie on exercise and non-exercise days eat this much).

Morning - another good sleep, more weight loss despite going slightly over on calories (replaces 1000 liquid calories does that).

An encouraging start!

I’m going to cut down on the sugar over the weekend and spending time preparing ie listening to the podcast, meal planning and writing Monday’s grocery shopping list!
