You then use Harris Benedict equation to work out your DCN (daily calorific needs). What your body needs to function when you take daily activity into account. I would say that I am sedetary, so I multiple my MBR x 1.2 = 2326 kcals daily.

I need to eat 2326 kcals daily to maintain my weight.

But we all know that you need a deficit of 1000 kcals daily to lose 2lbs a week. So my daily kcals then becomes 1326.

My new daily calorie intake is 68% of my MBR. I know that if your BMI is higher than 40, you can go as low as 60% of your MBR before you start hitting starvation.

I can't remember what it is for a healthy BMI, but I'm sure it is 75-80% of your BMR and I would bet that you are going below that?

Maybe thats why you are hitting a brick wall?! Just a thought.

1775

Maybe I am making this too black and white, but if your MBR is 1479 and you're calorie consumption today will have been 778, then you have only consumed 53% of your MBR. Which I would say it too low...but like I said, maybe I'm making it too black and white? MIght be worth exploring further though?

my BMR is 1479 when i do nothing. the equation you gave me equates to 1775. i've eaten 1200 and i've burnt 773 cals.

Scales are up 1 1/2lb from last night's weigh in. Don't understand why I've put on so much in such a short space of time! It's like from 11st 5lb to 11st 12lb! (am weights) This is over 2 weeks!!!!! WTF!!!! I've not been bad enough for that! That's like 7lb! Grrrrrrrr the only thing I can think of is the amount of antibiotics I've taken! I'm on 4 a day and this is my 2nd course this month! Took 1 lot then had a week off then back on for another weeks course! My stomach is rock hard and it looks like I'm pregnant! Honestly it's protruding like no ones business!

Up 1 more pound. Think it's got to be the antibiotics now and I must just be eating way too much. After my Sunday Zumba course I'll tone down the exercise and pop on a lower plan. By then my antibiotics will have finished too!

Finished my antibiotics today. So fingers crossed for some positive downward scale action. My tummy is huge!!!!! I really look pregnant, honest!

Only exercise I did yesterday was walking round a massive indoor shopping centre, the metrocentre!

Hi Nikki,

Let us know how the course goes! I'd say "break a leg" but for Zumba that does not soiund appropriate.
