For those of you who may have done this plan before. I have some questions for you. When you enter your daily meals and it gives you the estimated weight for the next 5 wks is the accurate? Has it worked for you? I use the total gym and its difficult to enter the exercises anyone using the Total Gym? I am 51- female 165lbs as i stated looking to lose 10lbs is the 1200 calorie daily intake a good idea or should i do 1400. I exercise 5 days per week? If anyone can give suggestion or guidance I would appreciate it. I want to reach my goal and remain healthy. Thanks everyone.
Not sure if this helps but I have a smoothie almost everyday so I went under the my recipes section that allows me to create a recipe. I have the same smoothie almost every time and I make a big batch and freeze in advance.
The recipe section allows you to put in your ingredients and will find the best match and it will provide you with the nutritional information when you select it.
I make my smoothies in advance and freeze them so I measured everything and took note then inputted it into MFP and broke up the total into how many servings it made. (it made three - 2 cup servings). One smoothie which is two (2) cups is 299 calories. It has protein powder (vanilla), frozen: Strawberries (1 cup), blueberries (1 cup), Raspberries (1 Cup)mango, peaches and pineapple (all 3 together = 1 cup), 1 med banana and 3 cups of milk.
Now each time I have a smoothie it is in my recipe list so all I need to do is choose it and add it to my food for the day.
I have a few alternate recipes as sometimes I add Kiwi or oatmeal.
As far as the 5 week estimate for weight lost I don't use all that much so I haven't paid much attention to it. Nice to see what the projection is but a lot can change for various reasons.

I started on 3/1/15 too. I want to lose 14 pounds. I haven't seen any changes yet but I'm not letting that discourage me. I try to get to the gym 5 days a week. Feel free to add me!0

I am a week late the game but I am definitely needing a team to keep my rallied!! I had a baby last year and expected the weight to disappear....what was I thinking? 35lbs would be a dream come true!0

My weigh in day was today since I started a little late. I'm down 2 lbs from last week. Got my treadmill put back together so am able to get more walking done in the am so hopefully I'll see similar results next week.0

I've lost 6 pounds this week and it's because of all of the hard work we are doing keeping each other motivated and accountable. I'm looking forward to hearing from others. Thank you to everyone for their support!
That is terrific! Keep up the good work!0 -
I recently upped my calories because i wasn't seeing any change after 4 weeks, and figured 1200 was too low for me. I dropped 2 lbs within 48 hours of making that change but the past week i've held steady again. while it's better than gaining, I'm a little bummed by not dropping more. I'm stricter with my logging than i was in February, so that could account for the 2 lbs. If I'm not down another pound by friday (weigh-in day) I figure I'll start lowering calories again.0

How about your exercising? How much do you exercise daily? Do you vary your cardio - time, intensity, etc. Are you weight training?0 -
I do 30 mins of steady state cardio (cycling/jogging) fasted upon waking in the morning, six days a week, and 30 mins of weight training 4 days a week (alternating push/pull workouts).0

I am with you! I have 7lbs to lose until I hit my goal weight!0

You may need to increase your time on cardio - even 10 more minutes per workout will make a difference (or increase your speed or level of difficulty). Interval cardio will also help. 1200-1400 calories seems low for a man.0 -
Hi I started on march 1 also. I have about 40-50 lbs to lose in hopefully 15 months. I have lost 4 so far. I have started to go to the gym and I like to use the treadmill.Anyone can add me if they would like. We can motivate each other.0

It's Friday the 13th.
Is it a bad day or a good day to get closer to your goals?

I lost 3 pounds this week. I am so happy about that. I have been in a cast for a broken foot, so I have been extra careful about my calories. I was not able to do cardio due to the cast. So I was surprised by the results.0
-
Friday the 13th was anything but unlucky for me, had my weekly weigh in and was down 3.2 lbs from last week. Adding some extra cardio was a great suggestion, i think my results were a combination of that, and more strict food logging.

Trying to figure out how to send friend requests. If you get multiple ones from me (not sure if this can happen), just ignore them. I'm not stalking you - I promise!0

I had a non productive week. I missed some workouts. I didn't log my food properly and I missed a few days completely. The results show I gained about 2 lbs.
I hope whatever that was is out of my system. I'm back on the horse this week!0 -

Having a bad week can happen any time - but the strength to get back on the horse is what counts! After all it was just one week and we are working for the long term.0 -
I'm in with ya, I got a total of 80 lbs to lose, My goal is Dec. 22 which is my son's birthday. Everyone can add me if they want. I started a week ago. Lost 7 lbs so far. ( with only cutting out 5 can's of Soda a day. Still only drinking one can a day. but will cut that out in the next week.) Really need the support and some friends here.0

I have 20 lbs to lose. I changed my diet from march 1st. Lost 3 lbs so far.
If scale moves this slow I probably won't even notice
