I'm following the MFP recommendation of 1200 calories per day. I 'cheat' every Sunday because we eat out after church. I have lost 31 pounds in 3 1/2 months. My exercise is mainly walking 30-40 minutes about 4 times a week, but also do some arm exercises with 2 lb weights. Sometimes I ride stationary bike instead of walking. According to what everyone is saying, I should be eating more calories, but I am scared to do that. Especially since I don't do an extreme amount of exercising.0 -

Run 3x week, Strength 2x week
Very close to goal/about 5 lbs away
I calculated my TDEE at no exercise level and took that number minus 20% for my calorie goal. Since I calculated it without exercise, I eat most of my exercise calories back.

Workout: While at work I do planks, side planks, back extentions, bridge, squats, neck and shoulder stretches, various different arms curls (both with 8 lbs free weights and resistant bands with handles) : I work in an office and sit on butt all day so I shut my door 3-4 times a day and workout a little.

1200 calories + exercise
Bootcamp 2-3 x / week
Spinning 3 x / week
I have about 9 more pounds to lose. I have been as low as 117 pounds before by giving up sugar and carbs. However, when I did it before I had ZERO cheat days for about 4 months! I lost weight for my wedding and we totally psycho about it. Now I just want to get to back to my "20s weight" of 125, which is healthy and looks good on me. Another thing I do is only claim 300 calories/workout on MFP. That way I am not eating all of my calories back. Perhaps you should try that too? Everyone feel free to add me!0 -

Age: 37
Height: 5'4"
Calories: 1400 (somtimes less, sometimes more)
Workouts: Walking/Jogging 4-5 times a week
Goals: Lose 10 more pounds and tone up
I'm currently jogging/walking 5k 4-5 nights/week for weight loss and building endurance. I don't usually eat back all the workout calories, but sometimes it depends on how hard I exercise and how many calories I've burned. There are times when I just have to eat more and my body never fails to tell me this.
I have considered trying the Insanity workout to tone up and lose more inches. But I know I will have to up my caloric intake if I do something that intense.0 -
