I’m no longer a Buffalo, dipped under 90kg’s this week, for my height (194cm), I’m in the ideal weight range, but that range is vast, from 70 to 94kg.

Lekker! I’m the same height, I’m aiming for a 90kg I think. Don’t want to be too skraal either.

It was international day at school today. I was aTurkish man who sampled my way around the world. Kept the portions small and said no to like 1000 Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Pretty proud of myself as I DIG those sweet treats! Stay strong losers! Off to the gym.

The way I see it, not going back up is still good, so keep going.

It's probably just the body settling in to the weight loss.

ye I was thinking the same.  big dips in Jan, so stayed within 1kg up and down during Feb.  was 95.2 on the 1st Feb, today in just under 95kg.  Still aiming to be on 94kg end of Feb, so trying to keep it tight.  I must say I am feeling good, my training is good and sure I have lost some cm's during these 2 months.  I am on 95kg actually 5kg less than in my matric year, 20 years ago, and my matric farewell suit still fits heehaaa

I have learned over the last few weeks what my weight is going to do during the day - this has helped me planing my eating habits.

 

So I am expecting to see my weight being around 87kg tonight (first time in a million years) - down from 95kg at the start of 2018

 

I also learned that I can get away with some cheating during the week ( and even a lot of cheating over the weekend) as long as I train. But I also learned that I can get away without having to cheat on my meals.

 

And lastly I have learned how much I need to eat to keep my weight stable.

 

Oh and I have entered C2T and put my race machine on a diet too. And obviously my wallet also. But that is fine - spending less money on food = loosing weight.

Hi everyone, 

 

So I recently started using MyFitnessPal (calorie counter) and set it up (I think) properly. For my weight-loss, it recommends no more than 2800 calories for me, per day. I have 2 questions:

 

  1. What do you enter if the food you ate is not on their list? (Like today I had a chicken roll with peppers with a chilli type sauce)
  2. I have been using this for 3 days. followed my normal eating plan that I have been, but all 3 days so far have shown me that I am between 500 and 1000 calories below my target, and gives me warnings about the dangers of not eating enough. However, I feel that I am eating my normal amount, I surely can't possibly be eating more?

No training is included at all. Which is why I find it surprising that I am always under. In hindsight, I suppose I could include some healthy snacks? Which I am struggling to do. I just am really not hungry at snack time. My breakfast, lunch and dinner are more than enough for me at present.

Well when setting up I put in my metrics and it also asked how active I am. Luckily, I am a corporate trainer/product specialist so I am in a classroom all day on my feet etc. Hardly ever get to sit down. Plus, I train/excercise/play sport roughly 8 hours per week. I am wondering if the app is over capitalizing on my calories 'burnt' by activities?
