  • It says my TDEE is 1742. That's way too many calories to eat. I will definitely gain weight with that. When I was taking in 1600 calories, I was gaining weight. Thanks for the link though. It shows lossy and lossless weight also. Hmmm

  • You know,this is a little (or a lot) off topic, but you are in no way 50. I can in no way believe that. You look like 15 years younger than that in your pic. At least to me and I admit I am very bad at guessing age.

  • This chart is different from what they showed me at the gym, but not much. And ya I am pretty far off! But that's ok, I started strength training, so it should fall! Hopefully :-)

  • My goal has been to lose 0.5 lbs per week and when I ate all my exercise calories back,I wasn't losing at all. So I eat only some back. Actually it seems like the maximum I can lose per week is 0.5 lbs because of the fact that I have to take a minimum of 1200 calories. So for strength training, should I just add some…

  • Is there a particular workout you would suggest? I have never used kettlebells. To make 100gms of proteins,do you take protein shakes?

  • It says my BMR is 1362 by Harris method and 1205 by Katch. So considering 1205, my TDEE is 1450 approx. So I should eat less than TDEE and more than BMR. So that's what I do. I try to eat between these two numbers. Sorry I don't understand what the macros are and 30% protein of what? Total calories? MFP gives me 45 gms…

  • Thanks tangal88 for all the video suggestions. In fact I started Jamie Easons day 1 today :-) I found the book 4-hour body and The New Rules of Lifting for Women in the library and put them hold. Should be receiving sometime soon. I used the caliper method and the handheld monitor for the measurements. So I kind of think…

  • No I don't agree with that. We can beat our genes (or so I believe) and even if after doing everything possible, we can't, at least, I am not going to stop trying. Thanks for trying to make me feel happy about it though.

  • I eat in the range of 1200-1400 usually. It just goes up and down. I don't think I ever took too few calories. Thanks for the book suggestion!

  • AZakery, thank you SO much for all that information. Since I checked the body fat % with two devices that day, hand held at Dr's office and caliper at the gym, I know it is high and round about the same. I was very confused about it though but now I understand. Doing two types of measurement is a good idea. I will get that…

  • I used 5 lbs weights and it kills me. I do not have 3 lbs ones. I am on day 7 and I still do modify anterior raises (one hand at a time). I expect it will get easier with time.

  • I am on day 7 of 30 ds and i also hate the jumping jacks.What works for me is that I count the seconds and the jumping jacks. I know there are 30 of them and the back counting helps...."just 29 more...just 19 more..."

  • I feel hungry after I exercise. So I end up making my calorie requirement. What about doing strength training or yoga or pilates on days when you barely make 1200? Even good stretching is a good option. You wont get a lot of calorie burn but still get toning.
