  • May I ask how much did you have to pay to join IIFYM? Thanks.

  • almost definitely not. At your stats (and your description of your goals), even 0.5lb/wk is pretty aggressive (and maintenance-possibly even bulking- is probably more appropriate). 1200 NET is the absolute bare minimum MFP will calculate for weight loss.[/quote] I would like to go down to 98 lbs. Not sure if that is being…

  • You've mentioned "clean calories" a couple of times now. How does your body know the difference between a "clean calorie" and a calorie? It's simply a measuring unit for energy.... In my (admittedly non-expert) opinion, strength training will get you where you want to go. I doubt a deficit will help you much at…

  • I am already lifting weights, but I need to start "lifting heavy weights". The other issue is that I didn't realize before joining MFP that I had been starving myself by eating only 700-800 clean calories per day.

I may not look fat but I still do have fat in my tummy, inner thighs and gluteal areas. Hopefully by lifting heavy weights, cutting back my running and eating the right amount of clean…

  • @TeaBea - thank you for your suggestions. I will look up those exercise calories and add those to the days that I exercise. @NorthCascades - I track my calorie intake by using a food scale and daily logging into MFP and recording what I ate during a particular day.

  • Thank you all, for the quick and very informative responses. I am 5' and 105 lb. I used to run marathons but now I am cutting back my running to 3 miles per day and lifting heavy weights for 6 days per week. MFP has suggested that I should consume 1200 calories per day. I joined MFP on May 10, 2017, and have been keeping…

  • But, it will be a good feeling for the next few days. :) How long have you been using MFP? Has it worked for you?
