I think very light movements for now until your heart/body get used to it. BTW i never asked, are you overweight by chance? I'm not asking to be offensive.

Yep that's what i said. 1200 is a baseline for some people. The more you work out the more you need to eat. Follow the TDEE rule i guess if anything.

That's what i'm saying something is off. i.e. their body needs more/different.

Good idea. I think the problem is im not being creative enough with the foods i currently am eating.

Yes you can. You can change up your habits over time to get your body adjusted to something else

On my fitness pal i set it as sedentary because there are just alot of days where I can't work out. I'm adjusting to working out again. Fit Bit is set that way too.

I don't trust BMI

can you do sitting down exercises?

You are probably plateauing. If you are working out more you need to eat more. Or have a refeed day or something to shock the system. Change up your workouts etc.

no. you can lift weights and lose weight. Weight loss technically has nothing to do with exercise. It is calories in vs out. To lose weight you need to take in less calories than you burn.

I don't know if that's possible for the average person. An average pace is like 3.0 miles per hour...that's like 16-17 hours of walking and 7 hours sleeping. Sacrificing one or the other or walking faster at some points. Geez.

If you are working out that much you definitely need to be eating more than you are.

Thats a good idea. The carport is really wide and my spot is near the back of the carport area and the back as a big wide open space (kind of how like cul de sacs are). I think what i can do is buy a jump rope and do that too. I also have a skateboard, I'm such a newbie and still trying to balance but the effort at trying…

Hmm for me string cheese wouldn't cut it. My body likes volume. It wants hearty meals all the time even snacks.

just test and see kind of thing.

isnt it bad for you or like high cal without being fulfilling.

What I think I will do is: - Walk before work (pending heat conditions) - Move around more during work and at lunch time and also look into exercises can do while sitting at my desk - Go walking after work + body weight stuff plus dumbell stuff (i have dumbells at home) and when that gets alot easier and i can afford to --…

Thanks! Never heard of it. I'll look for stuff that doesn't require like "jumping" due to noise complaints from neighbors. Body weight stuff should work. Does stretching kind of activities burn calories?

I want to exercise and like do things like go walking before work but i sweat easily (due to the weight) but add in cali weather i get to work after walking before work sweating and sure I have like wipes and deoderant etc. but i just feel gross anyway and i get paranoid because i'm new at work. If traffic isnt too bad…

I've explained that in previous posts: People complain and cause drama in this complex. I can't join a gym right now because of fixing financial situation. I can't add on anything at the moment (even little stuff) and I'm not poo pooing every suggestion. And i'm doing those "little things" you point in your last statement…

Ok I get it. It's less about numbers and more about listening to your body kind of thing.

I think for me its a combination of P + C, Fats dont really do much for me other than cravings. Is there a right distribution. I'm currently at 50% C, 30% P and 20% F. I heard that was a good distribution split.

At home all i have is a set of 10lb dumbells and that's about it.

I live in a 200 unit complex with individual stairs (1 flight) for every 4 units. There is no "walk way" or "cat walk" for them though. Going up the stairs though because of the thin walls vibrates all 4 units and you hear everything even when one of your 3 neighbors open/closes their doors. The one bright side about the…

I can do yoga the only problem with that is some positions hurt my wrists, i'm not sure if its a yoga mat issue? How do you avoid that?

Yes I work in an office and the a/c is on all the time. It's just 2 levels and stairs only. No elevator and even though I have a desk job and its sitting 90% of the time sometimes I have to go up and down the stairs which either because I'm not used to moving around a lot or this overweightness or both...just going up 1…

I weigh myself weekly but sometimes when I'm first starting my getting fit "kick" (as i've quit and restarted many times over) I'll check daily. Daily incremental loss even if its a few ounces a day is progress and progress keeps me motivated. If its daily, I try to remember to weigh myself in the morning pre-meal at the…

When one is trying to lose weight I know its a calories in vs. out thing but doesn't our P/F/C intake levels as well as things like nutrition affect it to?

I don't want to walk at week nights because it's scary at night and i'm female LOL, I could go early in the morning before work but it'll still be dark out. Re: working out at home, i'm on the 2nd floor and the walls/floors are thin so they hear everything. Landlord is strict with these kinds of complaints. I can walk…

Well if you wanna get technical...lol
