Wow! I have no desire to go back to eating it regularly for a test though.

Looking forward to seeing what this group is all about!

Anyone interested in sharing the GF journey, please add me!

Thanks for your assistance!

Even weighing and measuring as I do, I sometimes wonder if I'm exact enough to be reaching exactly 2100. Starting 2100 today. Thanks for your help!

So would a gradual increase be in order? I know my body needs something because of the sluggishness and hunger. I'm not afraid to move up. I just want to be sure that I do it gradually and on the right time frame. 100 every week? 200? Every other week? Just not sure what to do. Thanks!

Hi Heybales, I manually log all strength and yoga. I had not confirmed the distance via treadmill but I did use my car to determine and it matched within .1 of a kilometer. I do weigh all of my food when I am home with only the occasional "estimation" happening when I am away from my scale. I ate at approximately 1500…

I would love to join House Tyrell please I am friends with Raebeebaby. Thanks, can't wait to start!!!

I'm glad I'm not alone. It's ridiculous that I know this and have little self control. I never eat bread or pasta but it's when I'm baking! A lick, a spoonful of batter. If I can get it into the oven, I'm safe. But, raw batter is my killer!

Thanks for your clear explanations and continued assistance. You are helping many people!!!

Thanks. You're really clearing up the whole numbers game for me. I deeply appreciate that because it was the cause of being a little slow off the line to start this. One last question and I will let you help others and stop monopolizing your time. I believe that I read in one of your posts that if you have an especially…

I weigh in daily because I am a data addict....but realize that the numbers are just a visual yo-yo. Over the last two weeks I have been up and down between 202 and 209 at least twice. Doesn't bother me, I just have the curious streak and like to analyze. I've been manually entering the strength (except for once when I…

Thanks heybales! My activity level is fairly consistent. I use a Charge HR and my weekly average has been falling between 2300 and 2400 according to the progress reports. It didn't seem too far off base with the online calculator so I am using it as my TDEE for now. Starting with a cut to 2000 calories. (I'm 42, 69.5"…

Ooo, thanks!

Use the MFP strength log to keep track of what I do. I like to stay digital if possible because my iPad is like my third arm....always with me.

There were some power blocks up for sale on kijiji but I suspect they sold in minutes. Never heard back. I'm looking at the bowflex 552 set. Thoughts?

If I don't have access to barbells, can I still follow it? Are there alternatives for barbell exercises?

Hi Kristen! I'll send you a message tomorrow when I have a few minutes!

I got your message! I'll reply tomorrow when I have some spare time. Really looking forward to getting to know you better!

Thanks so much for the info. I'll try to master this over the next few days!

I had been entering my non step based workouts on MFP and syncing. Better to enter on Fitbit??

It's amazing what a few days and some great suggestions can do! I'm already reaching the end of my day and saying "only 200 more calories???? More please!" Thanks everyone!

Thanks heybales. I'm a full fat dairy kind of girl. I always figured if I'm going to eat cottage cheese, it's going to be the good stuff! I just don't want to give myself the excuse of "more calories = more dessert" I'm a fairly clean eater, I never buy processed foods. But I have a major sweet tooth! Though I have to…

Oh yeah...every day in some form. I walk extra just to have it!

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to the day where I can even consider such a thing.

That's incredible! I wanna be just like you!

Wow, this just fried my brain. I suspect my calorie goal may be a little low but then I read this again and my head spins.

If I may ask, what's TFEE?

Thanks ARKHAM_MA!!!!
