After reading the starter e-book, I realize that I am in need of a metabolic reset. This all makes so. much. sense. About 3 years ago, I decided to get healthy. I lost 60 lbs by cutting calories and starting exercise- mainly cardio. I plateaued at 60, then gained back 10 rebelling from the calorie restriction. The is where I am now.... and nothing is working!!!! I can keep momentum going for the week, then come Friday I feel this need for relaxation and I end up gaining a 3-4 lbs over the weekend. Then I lose it the next week, only to regain it the following weekend. I am at my wits end and need this program so bad. I am scared to death of gaining more weight, but this ISN'T ABOUT THE SCALE to me anymore. I just want to be healthy, to indulge here and there, to live LIFE without worrying constantly about what the scale will look like the next day. I want my children to learn from me.
So, that being said, I have my BMR (1557) and my TDEE (2414). I want to change my "goals" on MFP, but need to know what my Net Calories Consumed should be--- 2414 or 1557?? Thank you so much in advance, I know it gets redundant all the new people joining the group.
Please add me as a friend on here so I can copy your diaries and not feel like I am jumping off the losing weight plane without my parachute. LOL!
