Healthy New You: Your Change For Life #2

3mph should be okay. It's going to be a lot of calories, whatever pace you log it as.

Is it accurate? 7 hours at 2mph says 1303 calories?! really?

Probably not, because you're stopping and starting.

Just be careful what you log on MFP. If you stated you have an active lifestyle then it accounts for this is your goal calories, so if you then log your usual daily standing as exercise, you're counting it twice.

I put in 7 rather than about 9 though to account for that?

I changed my goal calories to 1200 though, it said I should have 1500 at first. I dont use it to log calories, I was just using it to give me an estimate for how much I burned today haha

Running my first Half Marathon tomorrow- wish me luck! :eek:

Good luck and let us know how you get on. At least it would give me some idea of what to expect when I do mine in a few months time.

Sorry if this is really big, but my uniform for tomorrow :biggrin:

. Might have to wear black socks though..

You look great :smile:

and just looked at your sig and realised your getting closer to the 100lb mark as well.

Can I just ask what trousers you got on from next as the fit is really good on you considering your very tall. I barley get decent black trousers that are that long :frown:

Had a really good day then just had to have (literally had to) a glass of cherryade and a creme egg. I was at my dads and came over seriously faint and my eyes went all fuzzy. It felt like I did ages ago when I blacked out twice presumably due to low blood sugar. The creme egg and pop were what my stepmum gave me to just stop me fainting :/ and I felt much better afterwards.

I'm just worried now as sometimes I have days where I feel, (I can't think of another way to describe it) just empty. Not nauseous, just like I haven't eaten all day or something - that kind of sickly feeling... even if I have eaten a normal or above average amount of food that day. And today was one of those days :/ hmmm...

Have you seen a doctor about that? My boyfriend is diabetic and he used to get things like that before he was diagnosed.

Just wondering, what are you going to do once you've hit your goal weight?

Keep exercising lots, and concentrate more on my weights and fitness rather than weight loss; and increase my calories. A lot. Looking forward to that, actually!

I'm losing 0.5-1lb per day on keto and don't feel like I'm depriving myself of food at all. For example, this was yesterday's food. My blood sugar levels have been the lowest they've been in weeks and incredibly stable, and my ketone levels are within normal range. I feel so happy, and my ticker if finally at 1lb lost (i.e. I'm back to where I started when I made my MFP account). I'm taking baby steps with my goals and going to treat myself to sushi when this goal is met before giving myself another 20lb milestone or so. I've got my gym induction in 15 mins and I'm excited to get back to it :biggrin:

I tried to do go low carb but I think I must go into ketosis quite easily and it made me really ill. It got to the point where I felt so sick I couldn't eat anything so I had to stop. It's great that it works for you though, I just wish I didn't have such trouble with it!

It was probably a bit high, which is why I would always half the number of hours. You still definitely burned more than you would in your usual day though. That's why 8/9 hour shifts are so tiring :tongue:
