Thanks for the insight. I had no idea 7-8 was normal. I assumed that a normal rate was 2-4 lbs at a time and anymore than that was fat gain.

Yes- same scale- time of the day

Thanks for the detailed post. It's alot to take in. With that being said would this be the real reason why I gained almost 10 lb in four and a half days? I've been steadily losing since I started back in May, a handful of weeks I shot up week-over-week a couple pounds but it's always gone down. If I was drastically…

Thank you I appreciate it. Yes I do. They offer some classes and I've tried them from time to time. a lot of them or during working hours and it's hard to hit those during the week.

Thanks for the response. What's the best way to estimate how many calories I'm burning? From the feedback that I've gotten the under estimating just isn't doing the trick.

Very insightful. I thought the active lifestyle was all in, work out and non gym life.

I had a number of 175 in mind. I still feel like I'm heavy. Long story short, like most people on here, I woke up ine day and stopped making excuses for being unhealthy and turned my life around. So I started running. At first it was 30 minutes a day and gradually increased to a few hours a day. It's very time consuming,…

I know my work out routine might be a little crazy. I'm in the gym/ running three times a day. Before work, at lunch and after. Although I use carsio machines I under estimate my calories burned. I do the machines alot to limit the stress on my joints and to this point , knock on eood, I've not had any injuries. Is there a…

I ate a lot of veggies so I finish with about 50 grams of fiber a each day. 35 to 40% of my daily end up being protein.

I rarely eat all my calories back from exercise according to my fitness pal is what I meant. I normally finish each day with about a thousand calories in the green. Also I it's very common for me to miss my fat macros by quite a bit. Sorry for any confusion and I appreciate your multiple responses.

To clarify, the two to three hours of cardio a day is a mixture of cardio machines like the elliptical as well as outside running. According to Fitbit and manually taking my pulse my rates it's between 145 and 165. Fitbit says I'm approximately 50% in fat burn and Cardio. On days when my work out there towards the top, the…

Conservatively I'm in the low 40's high 50's each week for miles. 2-3 hours is all running. Once a week I do abs, chest and back via weight training. Maybe 25-30 minutes.

I'm on my 2nd cleanse. I've read that " being backed up" is pretty common when you workout a lot and eat cleanish.

3500 is on average with 2-3 hours of cardio. Treadmill elliptical up outside running. I'm in the Washington DC area so it's been really cold and I haven't been able to run outside as much. When I use a cardio machine I always enter my info and jack up the intensity and resistance. I track on my fitbit, the machine I'm…

Yes- Everytime I loss i update it in Samsung health and MFP. I normally finish each day well in the green. On average of 1000 calories.

I weigh on the same scale, in the am, after the bathroom naked. To stay in shape and not gain is why I run 6 out of 7 days a week.

It's something that gradually happened. I just kept increasing resistance and time. It's for weight loss and staying in shape for distance runs ( 10ks halfs etc)

Before Sunday, it was normal for me to jump 2-4 lbs. Obviously depending on what I ate and what not. It's never been this mich weight for so long. A couple days I get. I always weight in the AM after the bathroom , naked. Same scale.

I under estimate my exercise calories and RARELY eat anywhere near my total for the day. I normally eat 35-50% back. I'm normally at 23-26k steps daily.

I weigh all my food and count down to the pretzel I eat. If I'm not sure or go out to eat I over estimate to be on the safe side. For exercise calories, i under estimate what the cardio machines say. I use a fitbit and Samsung health for runs and I average those numbers together.

I weighed in the Am before my workout and in the PM after a run. Even tho it's been 5 days? Thanks for your reply.
