No idea.... but i guess too many lol
You said 1500 kcal. That's pretty close to 6300 kJ. Whether or not it is too much will depend on factors such as your body weight, natural metabolism and physical activity. Bear in mind that exercise has only a modicum of effect on weight. Mostly, it is down to what you stick in your cake hole.
I would hazard a guess that is probably correct... its not necessarily a simple matter of the amount of calories you eat but where those calories come from in terms of macronutrients. Limiting calories can have a negative impact on metabolic rates which can impede weight loss. I would suggest starting some kind of food diary and monitoring your fat, protein, carb intake keeping the later to an absolute minimum. That was my method for significant weight loss and of course will also help to lower your blood sugar significantly too.
Thanks, low carbs it is then!
and as for getting off my backside of an evening to go to the gym... well the only way that is happening is if my home shower is out of action. 
You might want to throw a bit of intermittent fasting into the mix too.. maybe skip breakfast? I usually just have tea or coffee and don't eat until lunchtime at the earliest. Extending the overnight fast allows your body more time to burn stored energy rather than the energy you have just ingested.
That's a good idea. I normally have bf at 7:30 then lunch about 2pm after gym. I would have to have a snack mid morning otherwise that's too long? Key seems to be when I am at home. Smaller dinners and no carbs snacks (bye bye crisps)
Thanks. I go to gym 5 times a week most weeks and have 2 puppies so will be dog walking again very soon. I think it's all down to diet. Again.I completely understand the exercise boredom.
Tried so many different things over the years, including swimming, gym, yoga, kettlebells, a few dreadful exercise videos, and so on. But as @helensaramay says, unless you enjoy it you won't keep it up.
Of course there are lots of different ways of enjoying. Some people enjoy the burn, or the glow, or the high. Not me. Every second I am 'exercising' is a second that I resent doing more interesting and stimulating stuff.
On the other hand... I love walking the dogs. In almost any weather. In fact they are more fair-weather walkers than I am! They have been known to refuse to leave the house on days I will happily go out. But then I suppose I have a raincoat. Anyway, even dog walking would pall if I didn't take the camera with me. Plus, it helps that they need the walk even more than I do. Dogs should be walked every day. For their health and sanity, so I exercise myself for them. Strong motivation.
Just think of a type of exercise you WANT to do, rather than something you know you SHOULD be doing.
Then do it.
Hi. What's liver or muscle dumping if that's not a stupid question?
