Hi Folks
Reached my target weight of 134 pounds today. Half of the 11.5 months it has taken was eating more to weigh less.
Just need to lose a bit more fat and I will be happy. Just need to maintain now. (the hardest part).
Oh wow!! A BIG Congratulations to you!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:0 -

Thanks for all these updates everyone, I just started so nothing real for me to report yet, but oddly enough, after only about 10 days, I swear my pants are looser. I had originally planned not to measure until the end of the first month of increased calories because I didn't want to get discouraged, but I might have to do it sooner if I keep feeling like this! No major changes on the scale, just 1lb down overall the first week and holding steady.0 -
This is my journey
2/27/12 started with myfitnesspal at 146 pounds eating 1000 calories a day
5/25/12 weighing in at 128.8 increased my calories to 1100 a day
6/8/12 weighing in at 126.4 increased my calories to 1200 a day
7/6/12 weighing in at 124.8 increased my calories to 1300 a day
7/20/12 weighing in at 124.6 increased my calories to 1400 a day
6/11/12 started doing 20 lunges to tone my legs every day but one
6/13/12 started doing arm lifts 3 sets of 10 every other day
I walk about 25 minutes 4 times a week0 -
Yeah I'm eating back all or almost all my exercise calories. I'm just afraid they are being over estimated. I'm gonna keep plugging away and hope I see a difference soon.
My current weight is 182.
Goal weight is 150
Will post measurements later.
Are you eating tdee minus 15% daily and eating back exercise only if your net cals is less than your bmt?
well that may be where i am getting confused. i have changed my calorie goal so many times. i have it set at 1700 right now which is a little over sedentary tdee less 15% and then eating back exercise calories.
i suppose i could just set it to 2065 which is 15% below TDEE. for 182 lbs, 5'6" at 39 years old it gave me 2430 for moderate exercise. I guess I can try it at that and ignore the exercise calories?? If my BMR is 1568 then i only eat any extra calories that take me below that?
I am sorry I feel like a dunce I can not wrap my brain around all of this.
I have never posted here so forgive me if I do this wrong, but I and 5'6 and almost 37 and close to your weight. Allmost a month ago I bumped up to 1759 cals (TDEE for light activity --20%) from 1400 cals. I had gained weight going from 186 to 189 before a bumped. This month I put the scale away and ate my calories (making sure my net was always above BMR, 1508). I still have a week or so before my weigh in but unofficiallly I am fitting into pants I have not worn in over a year. Last month I could not wear them so something is working. I am doing -20% because technically I am considered obese. I will recalculate cals every 5 pounds. Good luck

7/8/12: 227.2 finally a loss after fluctuating around 230

Where do I begin? I'm not sure I understand what the next steps are. I am new to this concept, but not sure how to get started. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I lost 17 lbs on WW, and have gained nearly all of it back after just getting hungry!! Lost the weight in 7 months, but have been starved since all of the festivities have stopped (my son got married). So, I am open to change! I really enjoy exercising! Help!
