I'm sold! Now what is my TDEE w/ P90x?
Watched all the YouTube videos -- loved them! Have zero problem with the idea of eating at maintenance for the next 4-6 weeks to reset, especially since I just plotted my calories since April 1st and realized that I have been TERRIBLY INCONSISTENT! Holy smoke! I generally eat 2200-2300 calories one day a week. But the…

Which BMR is more accurate: MFP or Fat2fitradio
MFP set my BMR at 1454 however, I was going by Fat2fitradio BMR or 1600. I stay closely to 1600 calories on nonworkout days and on work out days I ate up to about 1800-1950 calories. To put it simply, I set my calorie goal to 1600 and ate about 50-70 % of my workout back. It was touch and go initially, but the weight…

Going from Moderately Active to Very Active
So I'm training for a half marathon. I've noticed I've started feeling a bit hungrier, but I'm still okay staying within my calories. But I'm at the beginning of my training. I'm working out six days a week, but still figure I'm moderately active. Most of my daily burns are under 500 calories - strength training day is…

Hopefull After Finding This Group
Hello gang! I've been on MFP for 35 days now, and haven't really noticed any changes. I'm on Day 4 Lvl 3 of the 30 Day Shred and checked my measurements to see no loses and the scale isn't budging. I was doing C25K and bodyrock before the Shred. Still nothing. Much frustration and dismay let me tell you. My knee-jerk…

These numbers seem crazy
I was randomly looking at the recent topics and came across a topic discussing uping your calorie count to compensate for regular exercise, which eventually led me here. I'm completely new to regular exercise having never done it for my life up to this point so I have no baseline to compare against, but I've been running…

Diary Help!
Anyone feel like taking a look at my Diary and verifying that I am not eating enough? No weight loss in a couple of weeks. I burn on average 500 calories per day in exercise at least 3 days a week. The other days I can burn upwards of 900 with Zumba thrown in three times per week. I need some reaffirmation that upping my…

Almost at 6 weeks and feeling nervous!!!!
I know I'm supposed to give this 6 weeks but I am freaking out a little. I've been fluctuating between 165-166 for the last 5 weeks. Monday morning I weighed in at 168. Ugh! I know the gain is from the sodium I consumed on mother's day and the few days before when I was out of town for work and had a hard time with food…

Newbie Confusion
So I've just started the whole EM2WL thing this week, so I'm super new. I'm working on getting all the calories in at this point, but luckily I was only a couple hundred or so off (which is probably more than I think, but I digress). I've tried to read through the threads, but there are more than I can keep up with :)…

Netting really low
I started eating more and it really works for me, the first week I lost 1,2kg! But I didn't lose anything this week. I worked out a lot more this week and my thought is that I might be I'm netting to low (like 700-800 on work out days). Could that be the problem or is it something else, like building muscle?

Are heavy weights necessary?
Hi all, am (slowly) getting the hang of eating more, and my macroneutrients are going well, so the last thing I need to conquer is weights!! My favourite type of exercise are Jillian Michaels DVD's, and to me, they feel like strength workouts. I know I'm not squatting hundreds of pounds, but boy do my muscles ache…

Hi there, I've read a few posts and threads in this group, as well as doing some research on fat2fit.com and NROLFW and I am finally convinced that the way to get out of my plateau and shifting the last 10lbs is....to up my calories! The numbers I've got give me in the region of 1850kcals per day. NROLFW suggest eating…
