  • My dietitian said that I need to eat 1500 calories just to be alive, per day. So I aim for that, (or sometimes a little less) per day, no matter if I workout or not. That seems to be my 'sweet spot' where I have had the most success. MFP said that I should only be eating 1200 and I was not losing any weight for the first…
    in Who eats back exercise calories and who doesn't? Comment by sagy1cor January 2015
  • I started T25 last Wednesday (previously doing Power90, but saw NO results after a month) and I already see results. I have lost 8 pounds (I kept losing the same 5-6 pounds with Power90). I eat around 1500 calories per day and do not eat my exercise calories. I am very excited with the progress and really like Shaun T (a…

  • I'm not new, but all my friends have seemed to drop off of mfp. I have a wedding in May and need to lose 30 pounds! Add me!

  • This is very true. I never thought of it that way. To answer your question skeltonblues I would go with a heart rate monitor (the kind that straps to your chest is the best way, in my opinion) to get an accurate measure of your workout. I have the PolarH7. It synced well with my iphone (I had an Iphone 4S) but I recently…
    in Best Activity/Sleep Tracker? Comment by sagy1cor December 2014
  • I am wondering what the difference is between the fitbit and a heart rate monitor. On an impulse buy I got the fitbit charge, but now I am rethinking this. I already have a polar heart rate monitor that I wear during my workouts and it is fantastic. However, I am looking for something to help me monitor calories burned…

  • I try not to eat my exercise calories either. It just doesn't work for my body. I have created a spreadsheet for my net calories so that I can average it. On average, since 11/30 (minus a couple of days) I eat about 882.7 calories per day (net). I'm guessing this is why my body will not let go of the weight. (I keep losing…
    in Average Net Calories Comment by sagy1cor December 2014
  • I weigh myself everyday. If I don't then I feel that I am not accounting for my day. I also log my weight everyday and keep an excel spreadsheet of the calories that I have ate (net) and my weight. That way I can enter in the formula for the average of the net calories and see if I am doing something wrong.
    in How often do you weigh yourself? Comment by sagy1cor December 2014
  • Dominos Cheese stuffed bread - the feta & spinach one and taco bell. I still cave for the cheese queserdillers. Basically anything with cheese is my downfall. But I have learned to eat less of it. Less is more, right?
    in I can't believe I used to eat that!! Comment by sagy1cor December 2014
  • I agree with you! Although I do get frustrated with the fluctuations that I am starting to see. Last week I lost 6 lbs and this week I gained 3 of those lbs back, without doing anything different. Its hard to know if you are eating too much or too little without weighing yourself daily and experimenting with your calorie…
