I have always been 15% body fat and I have maintained there for years…since covid started I haven’t been there

I set it up to lose .5 pound a week but havemt added in exercise calories. I didn't feel I needed to. I'm currently eating 1640

2 pounds but the week of menstral cycle I gained one...this Sunday will be a total of three weeks...im using libra and weighing myself daily which I'm so not used to doing....im doing the exact routine and eating the exact caloric defecit I was in before to get me to my goal. I always base everything off the mirror because…

I had high cortisol levels for awhile and I was dealing with alot of stress...I wanted to see if was I able to lose weight now. In general I don't use a scale or care about the numbers. I just want to make sure it's going down.

Your 100% right. It really doesn't matter how long it takes.me as long as I get there. And a great goal is to just hit the gym every day weather I feel it or not. I will focus on my daily achievements. I think that is the best thing to do. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this your right! I'm so eager to get myself back to where I was that I didn't even look at it day by day. There is more then an expectancy to it. I'm going to be patient t and let the process work...Thank you.

I was maintaining 15% fat for years...i went through a very bad divorce which througj my entire body out of whack...my central nervous system was off. I would start shaking with any type of exercise I did. I finally got back to myself but it took so long and then covid hit. I started doing shaunt insanity everyday at home,…

I'm pretty a tive during the day about 10 thousand steps without exercise, sometimes maybe more. I was doing very strenuous cardio for 1 hour 3 days a week but I was told by my dr that I have to stop all cardio at this point...my dr told me my body is starting...im depleted of nutrients and minerals. T3 is low. Digestions…

6 hours a week.

Especially when bodybuilding

Weight lifting burns and then there is after burn...

I'm eating 1660 a day...i started a probiotic called just theive...i had some bad symptoms in the beginning but theyre evening out a bit now...

The Reason my doctor told me to stop cardio was because my blood showed that I had a low T3, low insulin, low HDL and I was low in some vitamins as well. She told me that my cardio was burning my glucose too fast causing me to be slightly hypoglycemic. I was curious if I can do more weight training and be ok? I have been…

I like to do something fitness related everyday...it.makes me feel purposeful...it open my head...

So what do you suggest then?

between 40 and 44 a day

Over a year...

I increase my calories tonight to 1800 from 1650. I really hope that this choleric adjustment helps me. I have been maintaining 15% body fat between 1650 and 1700 calories A-day. I have never eaten 1800 calories consistently in my life. I really hope that this high calorie adjustment will allow me to get back down to 15%…

I tried...i have had an upper endoscopy, blood tests, stool sample tests everything came out fine...My dr says to.much stress can affect the digestive system...its weird because when I over eat I end up going, but when I go back to my normal daily calories of 1650 I can't go...

Yes that is whats happening but I physically look different...it has physically affected me everywhere...hips, thighs, abs nd chest...everything became bloated

Thanks will do!!

and when i say started this i mean just the hiit cardio...ive been trainig otherwise for years

I started doing this in March right when I was quarentined in New York...it was fine for a while but as time went in I developed digestive issues, which turns out to be nothing my dr says. He thinks its all stress related. I measure everything down to my lettuce lol...i don't eye ball anything...As far as food cravings I…

My nutrition is great! Macros are perfect! I wasn't feeling tired before I started doing all this hiit training and I was still eating 1650...based on mfp I was eating way to low, if thats the case then why wasn't I losing a pound a week? I am going to increase my calories and see what happens...i bought the fitbit during…

If i put myself as active on mfp it says I should be eating 2050 to maintain my weight. Is that including my exercise? Or is my exercise separate? Should I be adding in exercise calories. I just chose active based on walking 10000 steps a day...i want to fuel my body and still lose .5 -1 pound a week...i do want to cut my…

I wrote lightly active and never ate back any calories

I never logged exercise because I never knew the exact number i burnt...my fitbit is not the fancy one, its the one that mainly tracks steps...and i don't know how much I burn while weight training either. I set myself as lightly active and never added anything...mfp gave me a defecit at 1650...my body started holding onto…

the only thing that initially activates my reflux is HIIT exercises or jogging, anything where i am up and down. But once its activated everything else seems to bother it. But if I didnt work out, I would be able to eat and drink everything. The only things that bother me now are anything hot or anything to cold. I feel…

I always got so confused on how rate myself. Weather I was active or lightly active. When i placed myself at active MFP said i could eat close to 2100 calories, but Im sure that is my TDEE. So if i subtract 500 i get 1600....If that was the case how come I was losing .5 a pound a week or even less doing very intense weight…

I chose lightly active and im looking to lose half a pound a week...even if its not half, as long as im going down.
