Heybales- you are so knowledgable and explain everything so well. So I want to loose 15-20 lbs as quick and healthy as possible. What do you recommend from a calorie and workout perspective? I'm 36, 5'4", 144 lbs and 28% BF. I would appreciate your input and insight. Thanks!

Thank you both so much. I refuse to crash diet- that's unhealthy and I am glad no one would support it. My end goal is where I want to be at 7 weeks- I want to stay there permanently. I used to be 120lb and 18% BF but due to health issues and stress I stopped exercising and put weight on. So I guess I will just keep doing…

Hi Balance- I did. I figured out BMR and TDEE and my baseline based on activity is 1790. I do the 20-25% which gets me 1345-1432 calories. I was eating 1200 and stalled so been upping my calories to be at 1350-1450. But there are days where I am less active (like today- no exercise) and I eat closer to 1250. Do you think I…
