I'm a old guy so take it for what it is worth. I started at 268#. I'm at week 16. I'm at 225# (43# lost so far). I average 3.1# loss per week. I set my MFP goal at 2# per week. My goal is 165. I eat 1500 cal a day. Without exercise I'm lucky to loose a pound. I'm exercising 600 to 1800 cal per day. I have no thyroid…

Started my diet 1/1/this year. I'm 66 male cancer survivor who now has no thyroid (which is supposed to make loosing weight more difficult but...) Starting weight: 268 Goal weight: 175 Current weight: 230 Total weight lost: 38 This week's successes: 1.8 lbs This week's challenges: going away party for friends and having a…

I ride 3days a week usually. This year looks like I'll probably do even more now that I FINALLY figured out how to eliminate my hot foot. Regarding my slow ride - increased calorie problem - I found a solution thanks to your replies. My trike has disc brakes right and left. I'm alternative using them to increase resistance…

I DO NOT PUT HER OR ANYONE DOWN FOR GOING SLOW. I get plenty of hard workouts in all by myself. On the same course I'll average 15.2 mph. I don't know my heart rate but I keep my respirations high. My runs are 60-90 minutes using a tadpole trike - catrike road (ruptured C5-C6 so I can't ride a diamond frame). My only…

Yea, she averages 9.6mph so I'm looking for a way to get more calorie burn within her speed range. At least we're getting 90 minutes in.

Last two months: 9 holes of golf, walking every day plus a few 18 hole days. 3-4days a week cycling 12-28 miles. (Retired so I have the time.) Age 66.

I was replying to a bicycling thread. How did this happen!!!???

One of my posts are missing from this thread. It explained the thyroid issues and my goal - long and short. I'm targeting 1.5-2.0 per week. Thanks for the advice. I'll start trying to stay within 1-200 of the adjusted cal number. I suspect that the answer will ultimately be determined by the ability to continue the 1.5-2#…

Forgot. I log meals and exercise daily in MFP. Also, my plateau worry is based on being without a thyroid (cancer). I'm just concerned that if I go beyond 2-1/2# per week that my synthroid (a thyroid replacement hormone) won't balance my metabolism properly. So because my endocrine system is a balance with less variance…

I started 1/1 at 268. I'm 66, male 5'9"+. 4 weeks I'm down 15. Last two weeks I lost just under 2# each week (while not eating the extra"exercise calories" so I figure it's taking a bit for my metabolism to catch up) 1500 cal is a 2# a week goal when I input my stats and selected the least activity level. We weigh and…

I eliminated sugar from my diet and got my sodium down to 2300mg avg. Since doing that I don't really get any cravings anymore. (It also seems to have almost eliminated my arthritis pain.)

My MFP recommendation is 2220 plus workouts which a averages to 2680. I set my goal at 2# loss per week. My problem is that when I eat clean (more plant based) I can't eat beyond 1800-2000 without feeling stuffed. My average consumed is 16-1700 per day. The exception is when I'm cycling and eat more carb/fat - then I can…

I weigh and measure everything that isn't a packaged standard. Prior to this website I use to have to log everything in a spiral binder and had to look up all the calories manually. That was a pain, so for me this is a no brainier. Hopefully you find a sweet spot where it works for you. Best wishes!
