Sorry kittykirk, I didn't mean to high jack your post. I'm still so new to this, and it seems like everyone has different numbers.

Thank you for the correction. How are you calculating your TDEE? I was getting an estimate off my BMR and using the Harris Benedict Equation for a fairly active lifestyle. Then I was shooting for about a 600 cal def

No, I asked him if he meant my BMI and he said no, pulled up a BMR calculator and ran the numbers right there. I'm not a doctor, so that's why I'm saying this was just advice given to me.

Feel free to add me

You can add me if you'd like. I'll help keep you motivated

Don't get discouraged, you'll find tons of support on here. I was told by a doctor once that you need to be about 6,000 cal deficit to lose a pound of fat. Meaning if you cut 600 cal a day from your BMR than in 10 days you lose a pound. Not sure how accurate that is, but that what he told me.

Great job on your first week! Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I'm new to the friend part of this app, but feel free to add me, I like helping motivate the friends I have on here.

Great job, keep it up

I would agree with everyone (I know that's not much help), but there isn't enough info to really nail it down. My first though was the B12 though also. Second, low sugars. Without a med history or more info (which you might not want to put on a forum), you might be better asking your doc.

I wonder who's going to die tonight on walking dead

I completely understand not getting encouragement and support, and that's hard enough. I mean what do you do when the negativity is downing your motivation. It's like you're fighting yourself to get going, then you have to fight your SO also. Just draining.

Dude, my wife is the exact same way! When we met 8 years ago I was a huge gym rat, straight out of the Marines. Then life happens and the last two years I've gotten in the worse shape of my life. Been about 6 weeks strong back to the gym and I get nothing but attitude, passive aggressive comments, and zero support. I…

Yeah, definitely impressive.

I like to start my run of with "Human Race" by Three Days Grace

Yes!

Yeah but then I see people with huge arms and chest and it looks like they are walking on tooth picks, so makes me want to work legs harder

Eat multiple small meals. It keeps you from getting hungry between meals.

Music and a good run works for me. Like always, just getting started is the hard part. Getting out of a funk usually happens faster when you just force a change of situation

My wife took Mother's milk tea. Just in case you do notice a supply change.
