TDEE takes discipline. Missing planned workouts can bite you in more than one way. First it hurts your training and secondly you may be eating more calories than you are burning during the week. When training, I ran 5-10miles 2x week (8-10 min/miles depending on workout), lifted 2x week (upper/lower split + core), and…

Weekend was a mess. Moving V out went well, but when we got home Tim had to take his dad to the hospital. At first we thought it was just congestive heart failure which could be treated medically. Then we found out his heart is severely damaged and is only functioning at 22%. He is getting at cath procedure today and we'll…

I probably lifted a handful of times at the Y, but nothing consistent in quite some time. I’ll get back there.

I've still been teaching spin classes, and slowly getting back to being able to do the class without dying. Weather has been iffy lately, lots of rain. My skinny road tired don't like rain and my quads don't like the gravel bike in the mud. Today I decided to restart my lifting. Knowing it was going to suck, I mentally…

Bumping this in hopes of getting some feedback…

Is your metabolic calorie rate, the same as Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR, the number of calories it takes to exist. If so, this does not include any activity. You shouldn't eat below your BMR or even at your BMR. What calorie range does MFP put you at to lose? You can also use a TDEE calculator to get an idea of what you…

@HappyDonkey75 prayers headed your way. That is a lot to deal with. Don’t forget to take care of yourself during this chaotic time.

I'm pretty much your age and there are a number of reasons the scale can go up. However, if you are truly taking in fewer calories than you burn, you will see a negative weight trend over 4-6 weeks. If you are only looking at a week, fluctuations happen. My weight went up 4 pounds the other day (see spike below) after…

I'm new to this whole peri- thing. My cycles have spread out a bit, but not stopped. However I feel like I have PMS for weeks at a time around when my cycle used to come. Bloated, cramps, exhaustion and anxiety. Is this normal? It is really obnoxious. Until recently, I thought the exhaustion was my thyroid and that the…

This really isn't a thing… If you are in a deficit, you will show a loss over a 4-6 week period.

@cschmitz110515 enjoy your women's rally. I've been very distant in church since Sierra's mental break a few years ago. I don't blame, but my security is definitely shaken.
