  • I just readjusted my caloric intake with my new weight and body fat%. I have set MFP to my TDEE -20% and will eat exercise calories back. My calorie goal is 1295 to lose a half pound a week. My exercise calories burned usually ranges between 400-800 per day. So I will be eating 1695-2095 calories per day. Good Luck!

  • HRM is more accurate for cardio. If you research calories burned during strength training there are formulas to get more precise count. I currently do Chalean Extreme and my HRM tells me I burn about 65 calories during a 35 minute strength training session. I have figured it out to be more like 212 calories. I always go on…

  • I am very proud of my weight loss and I do talk about it with people. I tell people I watch my caloric intake as well as my macronutrients. This will work 99% of the time.

  • When you log exercise calories MFP tends to be higher than what you actually burn. I learned this when I got my HRM. Now I log everything I can by my HRM(Heart Rate Monitor).

  • I went to buy some shorts in July for vacation. All my tens I was swimming in. I left with shorts in a size 6. I was loving it. I still have some newer shorts that are size 10 that I wear around the house. I swim in them, but they are actually comfortable. Lol! Maybe that's why some guys wear there pants to their knees.…

  • I have found that exercise is so important in weight loss, which leads to burning more calories than you eat, which then turns to weight loss.

  • I weigh every day! I always hope not to see a gain. When I hit 149 this weekend, I was telling all my close friends, kids, husband and my fitness pal friends. Love it!!!
    in How often do you weight yourself? Comment by blgmw2 June 2013
  • I have been doing Fitness Pal for just over a month. I also have a Fitbit that syncs with My Fitness Pal. I make sure I walk 10,000 steps a day and I do cardio at the gym twice a week between 1 and 1 and 1/2 hours. I also do upper body strength for 20 minutes twice a week. I have lost 4 pounds. I have found that if I have…
