Calorie Counting & Offsetting Exercise

Hi all

I need some advice, I have been calorie counting for over three weeks now using the Food Focus website, it gave me 1359 calories to eat daily, I hardly ever reach that amount and am averaging at about 1000 a day. I have also been hitting the exercise hard, doing 25 mins on my exercise bike daily, a 45 min workout/or a 3.5 mile walk However after all this I have only lost 4 lbs:sigh: OK I know its 4 off and not 4 on, but I would have hoped I would have dropped half a stone at least by now. This is where my query comes in, with me doing the exercise, do I offset that by eating more calories? Or do I still carry on with 1359 cals and continue the exercise i'm a bit worried that perhaps my body is in starvation mode and thats why my weight loss has been poor Any thoughts on this would be fab

I am at the point now where I am about to gice up the CC and go back to SW, as I seemed to have a better weight loss

Look forward to your opinions, thanks

You're eating too little! Especially with doing a lot of exercise! Are you not logging your exercise too? WHen you do it'll adjust your calorie target for the day- you really should try & hit this target (within 100cals anyway) or your body will be hanging on for dear life to any food it does get! Trust me- I've been there!

Hi Wish,

I agree perhaps try 1200 cals and the same exercise amounts. Let us know how you go.
