in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone, I'm new to this group but not MFP. I started getting serious to drop the extra weight back in March 2013. In 6 months I dropped 54lbs, I took a week break in between each 3 months. After two months in I was getting very tired and didn't do much besides the workout for the day, after that my energy was zapped (probably because I was in the 200's and was eating 1200-1400 calories & doing p90x) Months 7-9 I didn't stick with much of a plan and a lot of life's issues happened so I wasn't focused. I ate mostly what I wanted and gained 6 of those pounds back. I consider these past few months as my bodies way to tell me to eat more. I recently started a program again and ready to get back into gear but I want to do that wisely and not deplete my intake so much where my energy is gone. I do have a blog post of my progress if you'd like to check it out.

    I just started TurboFire. So far so good. Are you doing t25 or p90x3?

    Hi April,

    Well done on all weight loss so far. I've also just started doing P90X :)
    For your calorie requirements try working out your BMR and TDEE
    Take the TDEE less 20% and enter that amount as your net calories in MFP.

    Make sure you don't eat below your BMR! Also, eat back the calories you burnt during exercise because the deficit has already been accounted for in the less 20%.


    You can add me as a friend if you would like :)

    Thank you and way to go starting P90x. It's not easy but worth it. It's funny that you bring up the TDEE and BMR, I just figured everything up and started doing that. I'm doing TurboFire right now & will incorporate weight lifting into that too. Thanks
