I was thinking this too, maybe since there is only one automated entry for yoga it assumes Hatha or something simar so its not overshooting calories as if you did more strenuous yoga. I do vinyasa yoga too with a bunch of strength moves added in, so its more strenuous.

Well I was going to say 45, but I opened your profile because I'm on my phone and the picture was really small, and saw your actual age. I stick with 45 though.

Well, I do my long workouts in the evening, but I do 15-20 minutes of yoga every morning before I go to work or school. It helps me wake up and be ready for the day, and starts my day off on a positive note. :) I work at 7:30am, so doing my long workouts in the morning just isn't possible. Though, I think I'm going to…

24?

Hahahahaha! Frosting. :)

I hit the milestone of "Under 200lbs!" this week, so I decided to reward myself with a new yoga mat, and a Heart Rate Monitor. So excited, and I can't wait till it gets here on Wednesday!! When I reach my goal weight, I plan to get the rather large tattoo on my side I've wanted for a long time(ribs to hip, so very large)…

I totally understand this point. I live in Portland where it pretty much rains every second of every day except for a handful of weeks in the "summer," and I have a 4 year old. The only time I could go to the gym that I have a free membership to through the university I work at and attend classes is when she is at…

You look like a whole new person! You'll be a gorgeous bride, I'm sure. You are such an inspiration to me. My husband and I got married in a small ceremony with just us and a couple friends, but planned to do a big wedding a year later. I ended up pregnant with our daughter (a few weeks before we got married, haha! shotgun…

You go girl! And don't let anyone think that you cant see changes with just a little loss. While I don't really see much change so far, my husband said he noticed that I look and feel smaller(I just put pictures in my profile, so you can see if you want), but I definitely FEEL different, and that is what matters. It's…

Thats only 25lbs down? You look amazing! I'm only at 17, but I don't think I'm noticeably smaller at all yet...

Hahaha! This is me. :)

Thanks! I used this http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ to calculate my TDEE and BMR, and I got BMR of 1716, and a TDEE of 2300 (I put lightly active, as I only workout 30 minutes of so each day and not super intense workout) and it says I should eat 1800 calories a day. This seems really high, as MFP…

So I need to eat back my burned calories? I'm confused about TDEE, BMR, etc and where I should be....

You can text with me! I am socially awkward in real life and on the phone/skype, but I can text! I have a daughter and am trying to lose 60+ lbs so we have a lot in common. I'm already on your friend list on here, so you can send me a PM if you want. :)

I can understand your wife's point of view, as well as yours. My husband has always been thin and fit (well, actually he's underweight and really needs to gain a bit of body fat), and I have, at least in recently years, always been the chubby wife. I totally get how upsetting it can be to feel fatter than your husband.…

I do. I am doing incline walking (was running, but an old knee injury ruined that) on a treadmill 5 days a week along with a 15 minute yoga set when I wake up each morning and a 45 minute yoga set every night before bed. It's absolutely amazing! I am addicted already! In a few months I plan to start doing Bikram Yoga(like…

This is great! I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings since I was about seven months pregnant with my daughter (almost 4 years ago now), and I can't wait for them to fit again!!! :)

If you have a smartphone, try this app called All-In Yoga. It has a ton of different yoga sessions to target different things all organized by level (beginner, intermediate, etc) and has a picture/video of each pose as well as a teachers voice telling you when and how to change poses, all to nice soft relaxing music. It's…

Anyone can feel free to add me too! It bothers me when I see people eating pretty much nothing too, cause I'm here like "yeah I am eating cottage cheese, but it fits in my calorie goal!" :) Age: 26 Starting weight: 216 Current weight: 202 Goal weight: Initial goal is 155, and if I'm not happy there it'll be 135-145. Just…

:flowerforyou:

I don't know about videos, but I have a yoga app on my phone (iPhone) that is AMAZING, and I do yoga with is every day. It has over 300 poses, with tons of premade sessions for different things, and it also has the option to design your own workout from the poses. Each pose has a picture of it, a video showing how to do…

My inspiration is the idea that if I can lose my extra weight, and begin to live a healthy lifestyle, that my daughter will have a good role model in her life, and not a mother who is overweight, unhealthy, and unhappy. While I love my own mother to death, she was not a very good body role model for me growing up, and I…

Heyyy, this is my plan too! I've decided once I reach my goal weight (which is actually 145 not 135, my ticker is wrong) I am going to finally get the big side tattoo I've wanted for a long time but have been to chubby to get. :) Though, that isn't to say that I won't be getting a tattoo before then, I need to finish the…

I often eat this salad: It's probably pretty high in calories because of the dressing, (havn't eaten it since I started counting calories a month ago) but its soooo yummy. Butter Lettuce mix (sometimes with added baby spinach if its on sale) shredded carrot shredded cucumber three or four strawberries cut into chunks or…

Thanks guys! I think I may push for a mile tonight,keep this amazing high going a little longer. :)

Anybody?

pasta or rice?Definitely pasta. LOVE pasta (as can be seen by my 50% carbs daily.........) waffle or french toastAll of the above. Haha! And pancakes! Mmmmmmmm. mashed potato or french friesMashed potatoes. Or baked potatoes. strawberries or cherriesLove Strawberries. HATE cherries. snickers or twixI'm the only person in…

I turned 26 on Sunday and I am trying to lose 70lbs total (Lost 12 so far...) Feel free to add me. Love the extra encouragement and I log on every day to encourage others. :)

YES! I just don't get all the "It tastes like real bacon!" things that people tend to say about healthier options of foods that are fatty and full of calories. I'm going to eat good food, I'll just eat less of it.

Oh, I didn't see you already replied before I posted my comment above. Haha! Glad they have all come out okay, that's good to hear! I'm waiting to get my side/rib piece until I've lost(and kept off) the weight too since that is an area that will change a lot of weight loss/gain. Actually, I've decided that each time I…
