48 and feeling fabulous! Workout 5 days a week + lift 3 days a week. In Feb 2014, I weighed 220, today, I weigh 155

After losing 50 lbs and 50 inches, I had a TT June 26th. It was the absolute best thing I did for myself. The first time I saw myself without the skin, I cried. The recovery was pretty easy - I was off work for 3 weeks. I had 2 drains that were only in for a week. Feel free to ask questions [image removed by MFP moderator]

Started this new lifestyle February 2014. Lost around 50 lbs and 50 inches. 5'3" and 155 today (SW was 205). On June 26th, I had a tummy tuck to remove the excess skin. I didn't realize how much that skin still made me feel fat until I had it removed.

Thanks for posting! I lost over 50 lbs and 50 inches and my surgery is scheduled for June 26th. I can't wait and this made me even more excited. I kept asking the doctor if he was sure what I was seeing was skin and not fat. He assures me that it is. I hope I can get similar results that you did!

There's a non-meat source called "Beyond Beef" that is tasty and a great protein source. I buy it in the gluten frozen section at Wal-Mart

Thanks for the input. I missed a few workouts that involved the bench, otherwise they would be the same. I'm struggling with the OHP but still progressing in the bench press.

Just started the Strong 5x5 a couple of weeks ago and love it! Need to increase my protein though to really see the results I want.

@EvgeniZyntx - see my question above. Even when I was logging religiously, it was still off.

Question about the MFP extractor but some background info first: I workout at least 3 times per week...crossfit type workout. A couple of days a week, I also run a couple of days a week...3 miles each time. My job, however, is a desk job. I use the app UP to track my steps and also enter my workouts/runs thru MFP. I allow…

53lbs, 48.75 inches eating healthy and exercise

Binge? NO! Binge for me is spaghetti on Friday night before a race on Saturday. I will check to see if anything new that I've been eating has more sodium that I suspected. I need to have MFP recalculate, I guess. I just knew that 1200 calories was as low as I needed to go. Here are my numbers for one month: Waist -…

I might add that I have hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed 20+ years ago. I have always been monitored by my regular dr but I have an appointment scheduled for November to see an Endocrinologist.

Lifestyle? Well, I work out twice a day (30 mins each time) doing Crossfit. I used to never what my calories/carbs (which got me to where I was). My exercise consisted of yard work in the summer. My family? My husband does the cooking and I have to brag that he has totally altered the way he cooks. We don't eat fried foods…

Much more energy and confidence! It's amazing how I feel now.

Can someone help me with this???

Love the graph! How did you determine your actual observed TDEE?

I weigh daily but only record it monthly because it varies from day to day so much (especially being a female). But here are my numbers... 01/09/14 - 202 01/16/14 - 196 - 3.06% 02/05/14 - 194 - 1.03% 03/05/14 - 189 - 2.65% 03/19/14 - 187 - 1.07% 04/14/14 - 185 - 1.08% 05/21/14 - 180 - 2.78% 06/18/14 - 177 - 1.69% 07/08/14…

Can you give me an ideal HIIT workout?

I know I've come a long way since Sept 2013, but I've got about 20 lbs to go!

Thanks, everyone. I do need to start weighing my foods. I know that will help. I've had some people tell me I'm not eating enough, others telling me to drop back down to 1200 calories. I try to get the protein in but that always seems to raise my carbs. Although I don't track in in MFP, I do drink plenty of water. I drink…

Please explain how you tweaked because mine is doing the same thing.

Good stuff! I've been a part of MFP for over a year and read thru the forums and I'm so glad I found this today. Friending you, if you don't mind. I would love for you to look at my diary and see if there is something I can do differently.

I have a calorie burn question. my scorecard says that I am sedentary or lower vs eTDEE or logging is incomplete. Can someone explain that to me? Also, I work out almost every day and sometimes twice a day but I also sit at a desk every day. I have mfp setting to sedentary for that reason. However, mfp calories burned from…

Bump

I don't think mine is working correctly. On my "check-in" tab, it doesn't list any calories, carb, fat, etc imported. But it shows net cals, cals burned. Nothing listed in the calculated from setup columns either. What am I doing wrong?
