Find out what BMR and TDEE mean, and eat somewhere in between.0

Only focus on eating things that have only 1 ingredient or max 3. This means that you will reduce processed foods. This means that you won't eat food that send fast release sugars into your blood system - sugar peaks are not good.0

Ignore the guy who seriously hates HRM's. Its a tool. So unless everyone here uses just their body to workout and nothing else,,.no weights...no equipment..no videos...don't worry what is said.0

Spend 15 minutes stretching every morning - LOL. Hey, everyone else took mine! Seriously, we're all pressed for time, but stretching is a great way to take slowly wake up and begin your day. I think that, like making healthy food choices, food preparation or exercising, stretching should become a habititual. Something that, if started early enough, isn't looked at as a waste of time. It took most of us 1/3rd of our life to stop eating over seasoned, fried foods everyday. Just imagine if you were born into a household where your parents rarely fed you that way?...it would be against your nature to eat poorly prepared food. Stretching is the same way. It will be a requirement when you get older and your hamstrings start to tighten up and your flexibility goes away. Those who don't do it tend to get that funny, old man/woman, stiff assed, woddle when they get older. Even "falling" becomes hard when you are an adult and not accustomed to spending time on the floor.
Do yourself a big favor. Get on the floor and stretch every morning (if you don't already have pilates or yoga scheduled).
That's my 2 cents - Dueces!0 -
Figure out your TDEE and your BMR and set your calories. Don't assume MFP is right to tell you to eat 1200.
Great link I wish I had when I started:

Muscle does NOT weight more than fat. A pound is a pound. You can either fill the volume with fat which takes up more space, or with muscle which is leaner.0
