Thanks
I had over 14 hours sleep last night!!
Crazy.. just hope I can sleep tonight now!
I didn't eat all TOO much considering the lack of sleep so I'm not too bothered, I just wish I knew how to calculate how many calories I should be eating for maintenance..
xx
it's been described in the stickied threads more than once but -
You want to figure out your BMR - your basal metabolic rate (these are the calories needed if you were to never get out of bed)
then you factor in your activity for the day -
that gives you your maintenance calories
(google Harris benedict formula for calculators)
BUt this is not exact - you need to play with it and adjust accordingly...

But wouldn't undereating/burning off just 500 calories = 1lb lost per week?
I'd like to lose 2lbs some weeks..

yeh technicallly.but with excercise and our bodies being all different you may see a 2lb loss some weeks.
i think with your weight you would be better off tracking measurements now because i think lbs will be a lot slower to come off then inches.
just a thought not that i am an expert or anything.

I hate scales!!!
I have a new way.
I have about 5 pairs of jeans and pants that don't fit me.
I tried them on last night and have put them into order of smallest to largest.
My first target is for the biggest to fit me and so on and so forth!
That's my new measurement style haha.

Had a naughty couple of days at the weekend but to be fair, I need 1740 to maintain and I didn't exceed that on either of the 2 days so hopefully there shouldn't be a gain.
Getting right back onto it now.
Will I do myself any harm if I just have 1100 cals for the next 4 or 5 days??

what would be the point in doing that?
It goes against the need to be consistent in your behavior... So it wouldn't be good for you long t erm? Would it cause harm? no probably not - but it's not a wise thing to do

We all slip up at times and have the odd naughty day. The important thing is getting straight back into the routine of being good with our food and doing regular exercise. If you do that - you will be accepting one of those dancing jobs.
Since you love dancing so much - I am a bit surprised that you do not do more exercise in the form of dancing. I am sure that if you spent some time dancing each day it would really boost your weight loss.
I like this idea too. I have one or two clothes here from when I was young and I will be delighted if I can get into any of them again.
I suppose it is because I am a bit of a control freak - but whenever hubby measures me - I always wonder whether he is being consistent with the taughtness of the tape-measure.
When I visit my parents in Newcastle next weekend - I am going to have a hunt around the house (they have lived in the same house since 1960) to see if I can find any more of my old clothes. I am the middle-aged woman that aspires to wear fashions from the 1970s and 1980s again. Unfortunately I will probably not be able to be seen in public in them - but it would be amazing to be able to get so that I can get into my old clothes.
