I am double checking them from google and weighing and logging raw/dry weight of everything.

Haha, I completely understand that. It was more like I was explaining it to myself. It was quite difficult for the first time in life to see how much I eat. I did feel a little guilty sometimes of how much and how often I eat but I logged every single thing. It was a very successful mind and body connection exercise for me…

Thank you so much. That is what I am going to do from 1st of July.

Like Jenjellyy suggested I did not account for my activity level. I was unsure if how I live is sedentary or not. But come to think of it, I have to do plenty of work living in the mountain than I ever did when I lived in apartment.

Haha. Let me explain. I felt like I have gained weight and wanted to do something. So, I opened the MFP account a few days back and just logged everything I eat to see how much I eat on typical days and what it does to my body or weight in general. Although MFP suggested my maintenance calorie is 1420, I ate my typical way…

I was very honest about my logging. I mean the days were very typical. Eating at higher level will keep me satisfied I feel. Thank you very much.

I chose sedentary. I am not that active. I am a painter and I am almost always painting which is technically not sitting since I am always standing. Another thing is that, I haven't logged any workout. But I do an hour+ of yoga in the morning. But I did not think yoga is something I needed to log since most of the post I…

Here I am including photos I took today for better understanding of how my body looks like and what should be my approach towards it. https://imgur.com/a/KvlEuWz

Thank you. The eating style you follow gave me some idea about how to have a pattern. I want to make my meals around the source of protein and I think I will have the carbs heavy meal for dinner. I have a sweet tooth but it is manageable with fruits.

Thank you a lot. :)

Mobility will take time for me too. I am not as flexible. Think I will walk at moderate pace everyday after dinner and strength train 3 times a week and spend an hour or so in flexibility routines (Its very zen) . I am quite weak to start with the reddit one. Although I love it and want to do it for 6 months after I get…

Go girl. You can do it. I am rooting for you. In my case, I want to lose about 8% of body fat by the end of this year. I sit somewhere around 29-30% body fat but not a whole lot of weight to lose. Its all in my abdomen. I also want to be able to do 10 clean push ups and handstand before my 31st birthday which is about 7…

@katethornock97 Hey I am new too. I logged for a couple of days to see how my typical meals are and where do I need changes. Today is my first day of consciously eating and it has been pretty good. Hope you have an awesome journey ahead.

I am not OP but this is really helpful for me.

@yirara Thank you. After a few research and getting overwhelmed and sweaty while scouring for a good workout, I have decided to give this a go, https://youtube.com/watch?v=KzuUs3c-Ajg :smile: Along with 3 more exercises of recommended routine and learning these two, https://youtube.com/watch?v=Dt_zQnxYrXM and…

@Strudders67 I am ok eating around 1500. I did not know that you can eat the exercise calories. So I thought on top of eating 1200, I need to exercise to burn calories. Don't get me wrong. I like exercising. But the notion of having to burn 300 calories had put me under the pressure. I am small, burning 300 calories is not…

@hipari I am thinking of getting rings and resistance bands. I am unsure of dumbbell ranges and which are going to be useful for me. With cardio, I have noticed I get pretty hungry after cardio and I tend to make poor food choices when I am hungry. @janejellyroll My maintenance calorie according to MFP is 1420 and on most…
