getting too cold for outdoor walks, but still might be able to do them a little. So will walk in the house more. What is the NEAT method.

oh sorry. I guess I just never thought about it. It's not that I can't. I walk for mail, walk in grocery stores etc. Never thought about walking around the house. I guess I will try to move around more at home instead of sitting in front of the computer and tv all day until I leave for work. I started wearing my step…

I sit a lot while at home in front of TV and computer when not doing housework or errands. I try to do videos 3-4 times a week

I do leslie sansone videos 3-4 times per week. Guess I will start wearing my pedometer that tracks steps and see what I do. I do sit a lot at the computer or in front of TV at home when not doing housework.

The is no way I can get 10k steps. I am home e most of the day and only work 3 hrs a day.

my goal is .05 lb per week. I have 1530 per day...today I logged 161 calories from exercise.Logged all my food for the day (incl. glass of wine tonight) and have 196 left. Should I stop? I work M-F 3-6 and on my feet chasing kids...lol (preschool) Should I wear my pedometer to work to track calories burned during that…

I think I will get an inexpensive scale soon. I also like to snack on items since my stomach growls alot...lol I have 321 calories left for today. Should I stop eating and just log it as finished? I am starving at moment. Haven't had my lunch yet. lol

MFP says 1530. Please check out my page (look for poofersgrl) to see what I mean. I start at 1530, my food today is 1270 and exercise is 161. Which leaves 421 left. So should I leave about 100-300 left or less?

can I also use measuring cups to help with my portions of stuff? I hope I am on the right track.

How can I estimate without weighing. I cannot afford a scale at moment.

I drink 3-6 cups of water per day, 1 soda in evening (starting to cut down on that) and green tea. I just logged my meals ( breakfast. lunch and dinner) for the day and already over in sodium...grrrrrr. Still have 400 calories left. I also just did 30 mins of leslie sansone which burned 161 calories.

agree on the sodium. I do try to cut that down as much as possible, buying no sodium/low sodium foods as much as possible. I even exchange regular stuff like tomato sauce for the no salt added one.

Thanks Shaun. MFP says 1530...how can I change this? I plan on weening off soda....will go from 1 per day to 3-4 per week and go down from there, and drink either green tea or water. Agree on the sodium, I am going to try to make more home made recipes where I can control the amt of sodium etc.

so a scale like this one? http://www.target.com/p/taylor-digital-food-scale/-/A-11011109#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=food+scale. Also, if I cannot use a food scale (hubby doesn't think I need it) how can I measure food? Yes agreed on alot of the processed food. What about eating out at restaurants? How do I log that? I am…

yeah the green beans are the frozen variety, so I guess I would cook them, then take whatever amount to the scale and weigh them? Any other tips on my diary? Any help/suggestions are appreciated. TY

according to MFP it says I am under my calorie goal. hmmmmmm. I also made my diary public. (look for poofersgrl) When you say start with food intake, what do you mean exactly? Also how do I find out how much should eat in a day? THis is great info, thank you.

Thank you. I will try to drink at least 6 cups per day. 3 at home and 3 at work. I do try to do my leslie sansone walking videos 30 mins each time. Just that I don't have the stamina all the time. How else can I get moving more at home? I do housework, errands etc. I don't have kids. I don't know how much frozen veggies I…

I log everyday that I am home. I buy alot of frozen veggies, and processed foods. Can I still measure those? I don't log when I eat out or bring food in because I cannot do it accurately. I also don't log soda or juice, or my coffee. I drink 1 soda per day...if that.I drink at least 3 cups of water per day.

I am 5ft 4 inches. I am not weighing/measuring any foods. I don't eat alot of fruit and veggies. I am being as consistent in my logging as I can. I didn't think I was eating more. At least according to MFP I am not.

thanks. this really helps! I am hoping to get to my goal weight by the end of the year. It's not much, I want to lose, but I just don't like where I am at.

wow mfp is dead on. says i should eat 1530 calories per day! Also, what does it mean to eat your calories from exercise. I don't understand how that adds to your daily numbers.

I also just did the TDEE calculator and it says my BMR is 1354 and I should eat 1800 calories. Huh? Which should I use? this or that? lol I do log everything but my coffee, seasonings, soda (1 per day) and other small items. and have been under calories, but seem to be over or slightly over on my sodium every day.…

wow...according to this formula I should eat 1800 calories per day. http://www.fat2fittools.com/tools/bmr/

I will use my home scale. I will ignore the dr scale this week. lol I first started about 4 weeks ago and weighed 142 on home scale. About a week later was 140...then last week was 142 again. What is going on? I am using MFP for logging, and doing leslie sansone 3 times a week. I have bumped up my water intake to at least…

how do you log fitness blender workouts?
