Sorry for all the confusion.. I figured out there is a small button underneath my scale that switches the weight to grams.. that makes things much easier to comprehend now. Shoulda read the instructions first. Thanks all

Ok. I have a desk job but I walk 10000+ steps a day and do ~45 MInutes at the gym 6 days a week. I was just scared to be eating back a percentage of my workout calories if I was somehow messing up my BMR and overeating and not knowing it. Thank you very much!

I work in an office (not at home) but have my own room so I'm not around others much of the day. Standing and calf raises are great ideas! Idk about the medicine ball for me tho, I have visions of the Office episode where Jim pops Dwight's lol

Portion sizes are estimates. You are likely overeating and don't even know it. Packaged food that gives you a serving size is always an estimate and is never identical from item to item. If you get a weight scale and weigh in grams you can be 100% accurate with your diary. That being said, you are likely eating at…

Feel free to add me everyone. 24, 239 pounds (23 pounds lost so far). Would also like accountability friends

I'm data entry as well do I'm constantly working with papers and typing. I'll go ahead and Google that to see what I can find. Thanks for the input!

I've had t25 for over 6 months now and I've never made it thru more than a week. I feel I get an incredible burn and workout when I do it, but idk why I always stop. It's like I convinced myself it's too hard to find the time (sad right) even though I DO go to the gym 6 nights a week for over an hour. I've never made it…

OK thanks guys. I'm usually an early dinner eater as well and maybe once or twice a week I'll have a real small snack before bed or my protein shake if I get to the gym late that day. I don't like to eat right before bed, it keeps me up sick all night for some reason. Thanks for the responses.

How accurate is #2? Does that really help

See I thought it seemed like a lot as well but wasn't sure because I know my body was being pushed rather hard. I just don't want to eat back too many calories. I guess that is why people say to only eat back 50-75% MAX of your exercise calories.

Bump

Thanks all for the posts. I appreciate it

Yes I've been losing steadily still

Ok thank you everyone, I will add a little more to the diet. I changed the goal to 1.5 pounds and owner it recommends 1840 calories daily. I'll hit that and add in more protein to aim for the 140 Mark like suggested. I'll also work on lowering the sodium levels. Thanks again to everyone in these forums

Yes that is the current set up, I've got my goal set to 200-205 pounds (I weighed this last year when I was dieting and weightlifting religiously). I'll lower it to 1.5 pounds a week to up the calories a bit more. I've just renewed my gym membership again and purchased a new bicycle. I've got a 5 mile bike route in my area…

I'm a 24 year old male. 5 foot 11 inches Started at 262 pounds, currently 239.

Is it considered unhealthy if I'm still staying under MFP nutrient limits? I don't go over calories, fats, carbs, etc. And most days I hit the protein goals.

Thanks for the response! I'm unsure how to look at other people's diaries or I'd look around at other people I see post. I am a super picky eater and have found that rice seems to be very healthy (aside from sodium) but my salt level is generally at or just slightly over the recommended limit. And is ~1600 calories enough…
