theres no input for each individual exercise. u just enter the total time u did weight training under cardio n the calories burned is ONLY an estimate so dont go eating it all back. Eat back only half at most. good luck!

i was at 210 for 4 years. start to eat clean n exercise n i went down to 175. Stop using MFP n went back up to 185 then down to 165. Stop using MFP again n back to 184 n i m now 169 so ive done this THREE TIMES :'( i only consolation here is that i m getting better at this n i have a lot more knowledge than before. l also…

one can usually loses 1 to 2 lbs a week but u should start with 1 lbs/week for a couple if weeks to ease yourself into it. 1. buy a food scale (the most important tool u will need) 2. set up a profile with an easy goal at first (start with .5 or 1lbs a week for the first 2 weeks to ease ur body into it). MFP will give u a…

welcome to the journey of the next u n heres my 2 cents; 1. buy a food scale (the most important u will need) 2. set up a profile with an easy goal at first (start with .5 or 1lbs a week for the first 2 weeks to ease ur body into it). MFP will give u a daily allowance so u dont need to figure it out yourself. 3. LOG…

thanks for the stats. it is possible but u shouldnt set ur expectation that high. if u lose 20 to 22 lbs then it is still a job well done . start exercising n pick something non impact like lane swimming, aqua aerobics, and/or weight training. start with 3 or 4 times a week (2 x weight n 2 x other stuff is most likely best…

Glutes is one of the easiest part to train n to get result on. Just do a utube search for routines n Here's a sample video https://youtu.be/sOlovjcKrEc

2nd what she is saying n u can also try upper body training with machines as well

take up some exercises n u can eat back half of what u burned plus ur daily maint. allowance

if u like what u see in the mirror n clothes fit the same or better then it is more likely just weight weight fluctuation and/or muscle gain. i have not really lose any weight in the last month (sitting between 169 n 171) but my pants r getting looser n looser so i know i m still dropping fat n gaining a little muscle at…

the exercise calorie in MFP is NOT correct. In fact, they r usually too optimistic. it is only recommended to eat back HALF at most. if u r wearing a HR or fitbit, then it is a diff story because i think its 90% accurate. OP, the 1200 is an upper limit that MFP set for u so u shouldnt go over it too many times but u could…

weight is a relative thing. a BMI scale (uses an average) says l m borderline obese but i m not even chubby. 'healthy' weight does not necessarily equal to 'flat' abs, unfortunately :/ it really depends on ur genes. if u r not one of the lucky ones then u have to work at it. one of the best way to gain definitions (nothing…

lifting is only 3 to 4 times a week so u can do yoga at other times. u need to do squats n deadlifts to get perky glute. use light weight first n then slowly add weights. do a search on utube, tons of glutes videos good luck!

i was at 210 for 4 years then went down to 175 then back up to 185 then down to 165, then back to 184 n i m now 169. i now know that MFP is MOTHER! check with her before ordering anything or stick anything in ur month! we always forget about MFP once on maintenance coz we feel like we made it n we know what we r doing n we…

do a utube search on intermitent fasting to help with cutting BF%

Do the above

Try eat back half of what u burned in exercising for a couple weeks n then gradually reduce calorie count n see what happens

Costco organic fudge popsicle at 90 cal each, same goes for the costco frozen Greek yogart for 90

welcome to the journey of the next u n heres my 2 cents; There's no special food u need to buy (coz theres no magic pills) other than trying to low calories n high nutrient foods. That would be meats n vegs n legumes etc. Stay away from fast food n possessed foods (cookies, bread, ice cream, etc), at least for now. 1. buy…

a menu will pop up when u keep ur finger on any entry

do INSANITY at home for 30 days as a test for ur motivation. it needs no weight n it WILL give u definitions. buy the equipment if u can pass this test

chia seeds, at 70.cal a tablespoon, has protein, fiber, calcium, iron, n omega 3 add to anything u eat 4 tablespoons is 280 cal

pick ur own lunch as much as u can or 1. salads with.dressing on the side n only use 1/4 of it. 2. kabobs with vegs only n no sauce 3. rotisserie chicken with vegs n no skin n no sauce

age n height n gender? have u ever exercise before? were u ever on MFP before? have u ever calorie count before?

how long u been at the same weight? do u have a food scale n measure consistently? how long u been at 1200?

1. theres no one ideal weight for diff people with the same age n height n gender coz everybody ideal weight is diff. just take a look at my pic n u will know that i m not even fat but BMI has me at borderline obese :# because BMI asumes i have to be within a certain weight range for my height to be healthy. 2. not…

actually i will tell u a secret. weight loss doesnt care about what u eat. good or bad food is the same to the weight loss formula. u can be eating unhealthy food everyday but if u eat less calories than u burned consistently, u will lose weight n vice versa. in summary it doesnt matter what u eat as long as u r at or…

i m a fitness instructor n i weight train n teach high impact cardio n i still can gain weight if i dont watch what i eat. i gained 20 lbs last year n did i notice how many days or weeks that i was over eating? NO. Like most of my students who says "i didnt over eat, why did l gain weight!", i fell into the same trap.…

yes it does but only after u lose a lot of weight. U should do a recomp like after every 20/30 pounds u lose.

welcome to the journey! 1. buy a food scale (the most important tool u'll need.) 2. set up a profile with an easy goal at first (start with .5 or 1lbs a week for the first 2 weeks to ease ur body into it). u can set bigger loss once u mastered the smaller ones if u like. 3. log EVERYTHING u eat EVERYDAY 4. Only eat back…
