    Thanks everyone for the info. Think I'll joint the group NROLFW in the forums. I'm very excited to start the program.

    According to the OP my calculations are:

    Step 1: 80.545 = 80.55

    Step 2: 578.349 = 578.35

    Step 4: 1373.35 = x

    Step 5: BMI = 28.6
    2060.025 = 2060.03
    2334.695 = 2334.70

    Step 6: -300
    1760.025 = 1760.03
    2034.695 = 2034.70

    Not too far off I suppose. My Tanita info says that my BMR is 1504 and the MFP calculator says 1521. Of course, the difference could be that on the Tanita and MFP I may have it set to sedentary (because I was when I first started) but now I'm exercising 6 days a week.

    I admit I didn't read the whole thread, so forgive me if this is redundant. There is a group here for New Rules Women, and it includes links to a prepopulated log, that does the calculations for you.

    don't be afraid...i was too when i had to increase my calories. but honestly it works. if you can't eat your calories, then drink them. smoothies packed with fruit, peanut butter, protein powder, what ever you can squeeze in there. You'll get use to it really quick lol

    lilRicki -- do you mind if I ask what your calorie goals are set to?

    I'm eating 1860 right now. I burn about 800 calories on lift days (45 minute walk @ 3.5mph, 30 minutes on elliptical @ 70mph exceeding heart rate minimum, 20 minutes heavy lifting). I eat as clean as possible minus my TOM because lets face it, mother nature hates me. I'm 5'6, female, 30 years old and 200lbs. I'm still under what New Rules says I'm suppose to be at, but over what MFP says. Plus I only lift 2 days a week and cardio at least 5 days a week. Yesterday I had a really tough time eating ALL My calories, my net was something like 1100, but my net calories were 2000 so i called it a day.
