Mamalovesmojitos I think it is worked out by your curent weight and how much you want to lose per week.
I was 12st 7lb when I started and want to lose 2lb per week and have 1164 cals.

LadyIsabella · 12/01/2009 09:38

Hello, a bit late but can I join too? I need some encouragement! Just joined the food focus site, I have about 2 stone to lose. 12st0lbs today, would like to be about 10 stone, hopefully before the year is out! I am 40 this year so it feels a bit like now or never!

mamalovesmojitos · 12/01/2009 09:39

thank you both. that makes sense so - ladybuzz i weigh more than you and also want to lose 2lb a week. i'm going to try and increase my calories with exercise. i never knew practising my instrument counted!

jodie 3lbs, that is amazing. well done.

afernoon all - have lost 4lbs this week!!! Feel fab as don't really feel I am depriving myself as have had wine, chocolate and a roast dinner!!! I am being religious about weighing things out though, which I have NEVER done before, and I think this is my problem in the past!!!!

Well done everyone and good luck for this week!

HarrogateMum · 12/01/2009 15:52

bettysboobs - that does seem to be a lot of cals fo 39 mins running! Usually the average is about 100 cals for 10 minutes running - I know if I do an hours running it usually burns about 600 cals (and I'm slow).

Hope this helps!

bettysboobs · 12/01/2009 16:30

ahhh...durr...just realised that I basically told Food Focus that I SPRINTED for 39mins...lol! I wish!

redone it and got 558cals - that's a bit better!

butterfly Me to!! I have made the kids rice pudding with jam for their pud today - normally I would scoff with them, but resisted I am v.proud of myself!!

(however, did have 2 teaspoons of peanut butter for "ENERGY" about 4ish ) The difference is, I tracked it so am totally aware that after my dinner, there is no scoffing at all!!!
