It works! couldn't be more grateful. Many of my pals won't try this, they think their situation is special....well mine was too and it worked for me.

Hi,
I hope this doesn't sound like a silly question, I'm just starting out with MFP and have been reading a lot of info here on the boards and learning a lot along the way. trying to process it and find the best way to go about my weight loss is challenging for me because i'm so unfamiliar with these things such as bmr, tdee, macros etc.
I currently wear a bodymedia fit core band about 23hrs a day.
My specific question is if i'm going to follow the tdee approach outlined here, is it ok to use my info from the core band for my tdee (averaged over the coarse of a week) or should i still do the calculator approach outlined in this post?
My biggest concern with the calculators are figuring out my activity level. in order for my calculator tdee to be close to my armband tdee i have to choose "active" even though i consider myself "lightly active" as i don't work out much at all at this point.
I'm sorry if this post seems all over the place, being new i guess i'm just looking for some confirmation that i'm understanding what i'm reading and doing things the right way.
Thanks in advance,

I just wanted to say that I have had a first class response from Dan. I am going to follow his suggested calorie intake for at least 4 weeks without weighing myself :blushing: as I know the scales will initially go up.
Thank you Dan, your help is much appreciated.0 -

I want to know what happened with the 2 people the roadmap didn't work for. Why didn't it work? Did they find something else that did?
I'm proud to say that both ate still with me after 2 years of adjustments and are now seeing fat loss.0 -

Tim,
Go to the body media website and look at your months burn.
Divide that number by 30 to get your average tdee.
Cut 20%.0 -
I love the IPOARM...it works famously.0

Thanks Dan! I appreciate the reply. I havent been wearing it quite a month yet however thats what i've done with the 21 days i have had it.
Based on that my tdee is roughly 3450 which is close to what the calcs said also.
I cut 30% though as i have about 75lbs to lose. and then re evaluate each 25lbs or so?
I hope that seems logical?
Thanks again for the reply ...makes me feel better knowing i was approaching it right ...I have lost a couple inches around my waist since starting but the scale wasn't moving much and i thought maybe i figured something wrong or that my band was not working correctly.
Best Regards,
Tim0 -
