I'm not really clear on this TDEE things and cycling one's calorie deficit during the week. I did a TDEE calcular. It gave me a BMR and TDEE calorie counts but I guess I don't quite get how to use this. Can someone explain?

I feel your pain - been there, still working through it all. I've just been back on this site again for about 12 days but I've lost weight. One thing that finally clicked this time around is protein - if you look at what the calculator on here spits out it gives protein, fat, carb, etc counts for the day and tracks it as…

Fast one day a week Fast 3-5 days every month Take a cheat day on the weekend - please - math people! Exercise more (doing as much as I can and over-exercising just makes me ravenous) People who have never struggled with their weight or tried to diet should just zip it - if weight loss was all that easy, no one would be…

I love roasted vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and maybe a little lemon. If you roast them long enough they get this caramelized crunchy quality that tastes so rich and satisfying to me. Otherwise stews and soups can really feel hearty - I make lamb stew…

Yes, I have had this problem for years! And then it turned into 10. I'm no expert but when I've been successful I know what's worked for me - zero deviation from the plan. This is no time for guest-imating on amounts or calories, no time for cheat days. Not that you're doing any of that. It's a terribly hard thing when…

This is the best: banana ice cream. Recipe: put frozen banana chunks into a food-processor. There will be stopping and starting and repositioning of the banana pieces. It seems like it's going nowhere, but be patient. If you like you can add a bit of almond milk or whatever kind of milk you like. You can also add chocolate…

Conrgats on your amazing weight loss! Nearly 20lbs in less than 2 months is mind-blowing! I basically new as well. I was on a while ago but didn't really get it so I didn't last. I've been back on for less than 2 weeks but I've already lost 3+ lbs - I can't believe that's possible but appears to be what the scale is…

I just switched to Teva's for my hiking, walking and cardio at the gym due to feet issues - they're working out just fine, but I don't jog - not sure on that. You can find them on Amazon at drastically lower prices than at stores - I think I paid $36. I made sure to get the kind with arch support as some Teva shoes don't…

I do toast and avocado and olive oil, sometimes with bacon. It seems like I have a more caloric breakfast then other meals often - I think it's just the way it goes for me - I eat a lot in the first half of the day and then I can have just straight protein for dinner. Planning the entire day in advance helps a lot - then I…

I'd love to join your group. I've lost some and trying to lose another 10lbs. It may not sound like a lot but I've been trying to take off these same ten lbs for 6 years! So far so good on this diet plan.

I'm 52 and need to lose about 10-15lbs. My health is generally good but all those little aches and pains show up with exercise. Definitely not as easy as it was 10 years ago but I'm going for it!

Thank you all so much for all of these great ideas! I'm feeling hopeful ;)

What is TDEE? And where do you find gluten free crisp bread - I'm also gluten free and that sounds great. I'm thinking I just eat way under the recommended amount of protein and this is the biggest reason behind my hunger. It's really quite a challenge to get 60-70 grams of protein a day - I don't get anywhere close - I'm…

Thank you for the ideas everyone! Maybe I am being too ambitious - I want to lose around 13 lbs - I'm trying to do a calorie count that would have me lose 1 lbs a week, so maybe I need to dial it back to a half pound. I also definitely have a hard time incorporating protein and I'm sure that would be more filling than my…

Hi everyone, I'm 52 and need to lose - well, who knows. I guess my fighting weight is 118 and I'm now closer to 138 or 140. I would be happy to get to 125. I've been trying every which way to lose the weight for a number of years and I have not had success due to feeling hungry and/or unsatisfied by "diet" foods. A few…
