TDEE vs. NEAT vs. What Have you.
I am well aware that this topic has been beaten to death, however, I cannot wrap my head around it. I am not sure as to how many calories I am supposed to eat a day to lose weight, whether or not to eat my exercise calories back, and whether my Fitbit shouldn't be associated with MFP account. How does MFP calculate what I…

Future Eating Disorder?
Today my calorie goal was 1570. I ended the day with 857 food calories - 703 exercise (154 cal net). I am honestly so full I don't even know how I could eat anymore...am I eating enough? I feel as though I am but 154 net cals don't seem quite enough. Not sure if I should just not pay attention to the exercise calories but…

How to Get Started - Weight Training
My gym is constantly busy - especially the weight room. I understand the importance of lifting - and that it can help me reach my fitness goals better than cardio alone, but I get major anxiety upon entering the weight room. Everyone there seems to know what they are doing and be on their routine. I don't want to get in…

My goal is to get down to 145-150 pounds as far as exercise here are my plans, though I have no idea if it would be considered okay or too…

Excercise points
I have been doing this for two weeks and really have been following it but not losing. Do people usually swap their excercise points for food or just ignore them and just eat the calorie points?

A little public shaming is in order!
I find that fear is a great motivator! As such, since this is the first day of my lifestyle modification journey, I thought I would go ahead and upload my before pictures to my profile and post about them here. Things I have learned about myself through this photo essay: 1. My body type is now that of the Goblin King from…

Is 2lbs/week unsafe?
A lot of people say it's bad because it's unsustainable. If that's the only reason, it shouldn't be bad for me because I don't mind eating at low calorie amounts. The reason I'd like to lose faster is because I'd like to see a change and I've tried losing a pound a week but I get discouraged. If I work out all muscle…

I am a 21 year old female, I weigh about 116 pounds and I'm…
