:wave_cry:Hey all just came over from SW and have started cal counting
Just wanted to say thank-you Iris for that site on the other post below, it's fab! Just signed up to the 5day free trial, will defo be taking out a membership subscribson after this as it has sooo many foods calories in the food search, unlike alot of other free sites!
I'm sticking to 1500 cals a day and burning 500-1000 through exercise 5 days a week and this is my 1st week so weighed in today and lost 5lb so well chuffed!
I have ordered a heart rate monitor and it should arrive on tues or wed after the bank holiday here so looking forward to counting my exact cal burn through exercise

Hiya Pumpkin2008

Great to have you here! Good luck on the weight loss journey. Your off to a fab start! Keep it up

I'm glad the site's useful for you! And aren't the colours fun? I don't know, maybe I'm an overgrown 4 year old, but it makes me happy every time I log in!

Well done you on your weight loss so far and on the heroic exercise efforts. 500-1000 cals in exercise? Crikey, I speak as a shameful non-exercising slob, but that's seriously impressive. Just don't work yourself too hard and make sure you throw in regular rest days to avoid injury and whatnot. 1500 cals is a very sensible total... I'm wondering if you're doing so much exercise whether you need a few more, though. See how you feel and if the demon hunger gets you by the throat, don't be afraid to up the total a bit to fuel your workouts.

Good luck!!

Thanks for the comments guys, am defo having 2 rest days, Suturdays and Wednesdays. I am shocked at the cal content in ferreo rochers! A client brought me in a big box today and thank god I only had 3 and the other girls ate the rest, I was dead chuffed I resisted the rest. Although I did use 237 cals on them, it so could have been worse! Especially as a Saturday is usually my worst day for breking my diet and going on a binge lol.
Hows everyone elses weekend going? x
