I am new to this site. I am not new to MFP, as this is the 3rd time I have rebooted myself in the past 6 months. I have been in this War on Weight Gain for 50 years. I've won and lost many battles. I want to win the war! The initial post is, of course, truly full of sense. I haven't found myself to be full of sense or to follow any one else who is.
Could this perhaps, be my final battle? I agree with almost everyone in this discussion group - my first.
If anyone would like to take on this crazy woman, I would love to hear from you.

I'm a little confused on how to caluculate TDEE. I have figured out macros of fat and protein but don't know how many calories to eat to put me in a .5/week loss. Anyone want to help me calculate.............I'm brain dead from going back to school and gotta get this figured out now......1

Either let MFP give you a calorie goal and log your exercise, or use one of the TDEE calculators out there. Any goal is just going to be a starting point. You will figure out what your TDEE really is by carefully logging and after 6-8 weeks start tweaking based on your results.0 -

Can you get me started on how to get MFP to figure a calorie goal for me please? I've been logging in food and exercise for 3 weeks but I don't think the calorie goal is what MFP created. I think it is one I created. Thanks!0 -

I set up my account about 4 years ago, so I'm not sure. But I would think go into settings or maybe goals, make sure your height, weight, and activity level are correct, and choose lose weight and 0.5lbs per week. There is probably a thread in the Getting Started forum pinned to the top that will help as well.0 -
I think we need a dedicated "Sidesteel's awesome threads" forum.4

Dittos to above.
Best you could do is take some stress off them by say, not over drinking alcohol. Which would take stress off a lot of systems in the body actually.
Some food is like that in general, some food is like that specifically for a person.
Like a person lactose sensitive could get by with a little in combo with other foods perhaps - but to attempt the gallon a day of milk method would be a real stress on their system.0 -
I'll never be able to get into sexypants (fat distribution) but at least I got a sexy mid section thanks to this forum. Ok, I could potentially recomp, but then my face would get even thinner which I'd prefer to avoid. So heads up not only for sexypants but also super sexy abdomen
