This problem never got fixed because I am faced with the same issue.

Lightly active.

You need to lift starting now and you need to quit staring at the scale. That's just the reality of body recompositioning. If you think your scale or your swift is what makes you look good you have it all wrong. Get naked... Look in the mirror... Like what you see? You can start at eating at your maintenance calories and…

WHEN YOU ARE MENTALLY FOCUSED AND PREPARED.

Looking good! How are your PR and strength gains?

You can micromanage the weight loss. It's still not going to be lost any faster.

Well... Set yourself to active in MFP Make sure Fitbit overrides the calories in MFP Then...

I lift Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday Cardio or some type of exercise between Monday I rest. (Foam roller & stretch)

Be patient.

Go ahead and do what works for you. Personally I have to lift weights and exercise to improve my shape. A diet of this nature would not be useful to maintain a good amount of LBM.

"Be the change you want to see in the world." - Ghandi You have to live it, prioritize it, be it. How do you motivate your boyfriend? By making positive changes in your own routine. By being dedicated to yourself. All the newness wears off... Ask him to go to a class or join

Tried a lot of shoes mentioned here. Hokas are great if you need good support for your knees. They are quite possibly the best feeling striker I have ever wore. ASIC Gel Kayanos I run on now and I love them... They are almost worn out and I am due another pair... May switch.

That depends on a few factor. These factors still account for only 20% of the complete picture, however. Exercise builds muscle. Muscle increases your metabolism. Faster metabolism will let you a.) eat more as directly relational to the caloric output, b.) improve your fitness level, improve your body composition c.) help…

Longer rides with 70% HR zone. You want to stay locked into you HR zone to effectively burn fat. If you burst you'll chew through you glycerol stores. CICO is important but weight loss or more precisely fat loss happens at that target zone. Additionally HIIT style on the short distance is a fat destroyer. I indoor bike a…

Heavier weight. Pick up the weight. Pick up the calories. Pick up the protein. If you are skinny fat you need to lift

Lift FIRST. Cardio secondary and specifically HIIT second.

Few things here: • How long have you been measuring results with MFP • Do you have a physical goal in mind (look vs weight) • What are your activity settings for calories? You are not messed up metabolically. Simple matter is as we age we burn less calories. As we age we, coincidentally have to eat less. It is not easy…

One day at a time. One exercise at a time. One meal at a time. One pound at a time. One.

This... You should determine your LBM. You get that by taking your weight and then using a method to determine your BF %. That can be taken by measurement . http://www.builtlean.com/2010/07/13/5-ways-to-measure-body-fat-percentage/

You look REALLY good. Very inspirational to see the shape taking shape. Super Hot! Keep at it.

It's only as hard as your mind make it. Keep a sound expectation and a long-term outlook in improving health and longitivity vs short term gains... That's a strategy to live with versus unrealistic expectations you die with.

You look great for 50. I'll join you.

First you have to visualize what you want and what is within your accepted means. You will need to understand your body fat percentage. Be real about where you are. If you have lost 80 pounds and you did it outside the gym you should focus on getting at that. Lifting is going to change your body the most. Focus on 5X5…

For fat burning and fitness true hiit cannot be replicated. 60-70 Target HR zone is a good medium which will burn fat. Go above that and you get into fitness / cardio area. 30+ minutes is great at that target HR zone. Make sure to get something that can track your HR zones.

The results will come fast at first. You could set a higher calorie reduction goal at first, say 7000+ a week. As the weight drops you'll probably want to adjust. Weight is important. Creating muscle to keep the weight off is possibly more important.

Not ALL carbs are created equal. There is a special place where you can eat carbs in moderation and actually remain okay. The key point again is the type of carbs, the amount of carbs and their effect on your body. I'll eat a sweet potato before and after a workout (1/2 each) and let me say that I get some of the best…
