Just discovered these the other day. Their website has tons of great workouts. Love the 5x5x5's :-)

@glacierberry - Thanks for the link! The information really hit home for me.

Latest update: On vacation last week. Did my best to adhere to eating every three hours. This week being quite diligent about it and about netting. Had a few days below 1200 Net due to workouts. Yesterday, was a day that I could eat all day long - actual hunger pangs so, I grazed most of the day. The good news is that I'm…

@rosied915 - I agree, my calculations were in that same neighborhood and I can't fathom eating that much! Unless it was unhealthy/high fat/high calorie foods and that's not what I want or like much. Yes, I crave Lay's potato chips now and then and when I do, I have a serving which satisfies the craving for awhile.

Yep - I agree, that's a lot of calories when you do the math. I half want to and half don't want to try it. I'm going to stick with my goal reset that Rachel### (can't remember the #'s in her userid) suggested. Sedentary (have a desk job); zero for workouts and 1/2lb loss per week. That way my workout calories are reflect…

Here's the info from the Jillian Michaels article I mentioned in my original post. Sorry, I no longer have the URL. "...Many people suffer from the backlash that can result from years of yo-yo diets. What happens is this: When people let their calorie levels drop too low, their body's survival mechanism kicks in, lowering…

Status update: Weighed in this morning 1.3 lbs lighter!! Getting better at Netting - still not equal yet (under). That's with three meals, two snacks and a glass of wine! :drinker: Can't quite fit in the evening snack which would help. I'm just not hungry an hour before bed. I need to adjust my habits and mental mindset of…

Thanks Rachel!! That's really good information :happy:

Rachel6503 - I agree with you. If I make the decision to switch to TDEE I'll subtract the Activity Multiplier. So I don't 'double dip' here. I'm also going to stick with Netting :smile: Thinking this over last night on WW you get activity points to use or NOT use. If you don't use them you lose more weight. That was the…

I've been reading the message boards about eating back exercise calories and netting. I never paid much attention to my Net Calories. I ran a report for the last 90 days and I'm shocked to see that most days I've been WAY under - I mean there are days that my net was 200-300. This explains a lot and likely the reason that…

Opinions - on which Activity Multiplier to use to calculate TDEE. Here's the options: Step 2: Calculate You Activity Multiplier Pick your activity level from below and multiple it against your RMR: Sedentary (e.g., you do no exercising and have a desk job) = 1.2 Lightly active (e.g., you participate in light exercise or…

According to this website's (http://www.free-workout-routines.net/tdee.html) formula for calculating TDEE mine = 2,096. They say to lose weight consume 200 - 300 calories less than your TDEE per day. So, do I set my MFP calories at 200 - 300 less?

@Acg67 "...you don't eat or set your diet according to your BMR, you eat at deficits the same or a surplus to your TDEE." Could you explain the TDEE concept? @bentobee - good info - thanks!. Fortunately, I've naturally been increasing a bit a day out of fear of what you stated and just trying to get over the mental mindset…

@Sleepy Texan - THANK YOU!! for making the BMR +/- exercise calories easy to understand. My BMR is 1483. MFP set my base calories at 1246. I've been gaining weight ever since I started with this website. I had my health screening (required for work health ins.) today and talked to a dietician after who told me about BMR.…
