6'6.5" 237 lbs. 2100 calories a day to lose 1 lb. a week.

You look great!!!

Everything I have is open, my calories are out of whack since my Garmin adds 300-400 calories per workout extra compared to my polar.

I'm not sure if you are just starting to diet or further along in the process. I know when I first started , it was hard drinking 3 or 4 glasses of water. The easiest way for me is to shoot for the 8 glasses a day gradually and if I don't hit the goal each day it's O.K.

I had chest pains several years ago and had a cardiac catheterization done to determine the cause. I have an enlarged main artery in my main chamber and with a cholesterol of 173 I was prescribed simvastatin. As a result after a month my liver was not working properly and I quit the medication and lost 30 pounds. My…

As much as I love my cardio (my obsession is cycling), you will need to take a break at least once a week. By doing this, you can break thru an exercise plateau and push even harder. Just be careful, I was trying to hit 6,000 miles in one year and ripped my medial meniscus in my left knee. I knew it was torn and still keep…

I have a Garmin 200 use for cycling, the calories are always off by 300-400. I just make sure I don't eat all the calories back.

Don't take in everything on MFP at first, concentrate on running a deficit and you will start to lose the weight.

If you work out using the MFP calculators or devices these tend to overestimate your calorie burn. The first 3 months of weight loss journey I was eating the calorie levels you were eating at and I'm 6'6". Possibly, setting your daily calories to high is resulting in the plateau.

One day over isn't necessary bad, reduce about 200 calories a day and everything will even out.

His diet is not a secret, low calorie and nearly no carbs. How do I know his diet secrets? I tried the same diet over a 10 day period and lost 9 lbs. After those 10 days, I couldn't sustain the constant hunger and weakness. Competition between people is O.K. if it is friendly. This guy sounds like a jerk, he feeds off of…
