Thanks for such a thoughtful response! For point #1, my breakfast is greek yogurt, mixed fresh berries with the KIND protein granola on top for crunch. I seriously love this breakfast, but could change it up though and do eggs a few times a week. For point #2, I keep hearing about CICO, so I assume if I'm at 1550 calories…

I went for a quick run (starting the C25k) at lunch, and still went to my boxing group class after work. :)

Diary is back open :)

Sorry, have to disagree with you about the exercise. My HRM estimates 171 on the run, so I figure it's actually 125ish. For boxing, my HRM has consistently clocked in around 650-700/hr, again, I estimate down. Boxing class entails 15 minutes of cardio, (8) 3 minute rounds of hitting a heavy bag, cardio for the minute break…

Hi, I opened up my log again. I'm under TDEE for sure. I'll start weighing my fruits, etc. That's something I haven't been doing at all.

Yes, I know that binges can ruin a week. And, I do understand what a calorie deficit is. I was more interested in what others thought of my typical diet and if there were areas for improvement.

Thanks, all. I just started the C25k program yesterday. Doing the run and boxing on the same day should equate to a 700 calorie burn (I've used an HRM to calculate previously). Still keeping my calories at 1500, hopefully that'll add a spark and get me out of this plateau. I'd like to add in a weight training program at…

Female, 5'3, 35 years old. Cardio boxing class 5 times a week. Desk job during the day

I do, actually for the meat and veggies. Not so much for the fruit, and if anything, I've found I underestimate that. Ugh. Can't it be like .5lbs/day??? Haha

Sorry, wasn't sure how much information you can see. I'm female, 5'3, 35 years old. I am down from 178 about 2 years ago (yay!!). Since then it's been a struggle trying to get the last 15 off.

And, I do struggle with binging, but I've tried to keep that under control. Once a week, max and they haven't been horribly bad.

Haha. Not March, but February. I lose 2lbs, gain 2, lose 1, gain, etc, etc.

And, no, I don't expect to lose 3lbs/week, but 1-2 consistently would be nice.

Thanks everyone! Sometimes you look for the articles that you want to believe or that agree with you, and sometimes you need to come back to reality. I needed to read these!

I was just thinking the same thing today. I am ALWAYS tired. I burn roughly 600 calories 5-6 days a week at a cardio boxing class and lately I've just been going through the motions there. I was eating between 1200-1300, but realized that was too low. I'm shooting for 1550 now as I still need/want to lose some weight and…

I love it. Can't imagine going back to a "regular" gym. The instructors really make it though. I have my favorites and go to their classes over others. The great thing is that even though you're not increasing time/weights, as you get better at it, you hit the bag harder and faster, thus burning more calories. The workout…

Thanks for your great replies!! What does it mean to "eat back" calories? Is that going above the 1400-1500 on days I'm working out?
