what is TDEE?

thanks. I do weights but I have been slacking. I have definitely found pushing more there is helpful and makes a huge difference. I think it is very likely exactly what I need to do. to the gym tomorrow!!!

this is interesting. I am 4'11...and my scale says 94, though I think it weighs light. MFP calculated 1200 for me. I exercise a lot and hard. I don't always eat back my calories. I just try to take in less than I am allocated....so if I burn 500 and am allowed 1700...my only goal is to stay below that. I don't watch for…

Reading your posts have given me faith in humanity. I find it inspiring that one would take the plunge and learn how to swim as an adult. Something about reading that made me smile. You can get in really good shape swimming. Often when I have been in swim clubs...just a semi-serious group (the serious group trained before…

A number of years ago I had a devastating knee injury from running long distance. I was running downhill at the end of a 22 kilometer run and suddenly 'ouch.' Two days later, tried to run and it felt weird. A year of costly physio and 'learn to run' groups. Was not getting better and it hurt so much at night I had trouble…

That is helpful! I tend to think ' I deserve x because (insert excuse here). Starting to realize that this way of thinking is too common for me'

re: post that said weight loss happens in the kitchen, fitness happens at the gym....that is brilliant advice! I am learning this lately. very true.

I'll be your buddy. 4'11...currently my goal is to lose about 4 pounds ( I would tell you all my weight but it is low and it makes me sound much smaller than I look....I know that this last 4 lbs, what I was last year, makes a big difference!) I could use the support. It is hard when you are short as 1 or 2 lbs can look…

thanks. that helps. I have wondered about whether or not we should eat the calories back.

thanks for this group. It is fantastic! I am 4'11 and currently 96 lbs.I want to be 92. I know that might sound low but as you know a couple of pounds makes big difference when you are this short. I am small boned and I have read that this is fine for my height. The one thing I wonder about is how many calories someone our…

this is true. I wonder how much to eat. I am 4'11 and 96 lbs.I find I look better more along the lines of 92. When you are this short a couple of lbs makes a big difference. Is 1200 too much for someone my height?

also 4'11...95 lbs. feel your pain. we get nothing if we don't hit the gym
