I'm in Kaaawa. Was really active on the boards last yr. Not so much anymore but I'm looking to get back into tracking!

I've been eating it as a dip for popchips (I like the sour cream and onion or cheddar). I hadn't tried either of these foods before I joined this group! LOL

I'm 40, weigh ~181 and also have a finally goal of around 140 lbs. I have been eating at TDEE last week and this week to take a break after 12 weeks of eating at ~15%cut. I do drink, but am trying to stick to light beers (a hardship for a homebrewer!) sometimes it does get out of control on bad days so my dairy for the…

Aloha! It will be great to have more HI MFP friends. There was a thought about getting together to go hiking so maybe that will become a reality and you can join us also. I have been hiking the last few weeks and plan to keep it up so if you ever needs ideas or info on trails let me know!

Thanks! Guess I'm going shopping this weekend!

I always make extra dinner and take that for lunch the next day!

That's OK vent away.....that's what we are here for. But I promise if you stay on track with your calories and exercise you *will* see progress........slow and steady wins the race remember! Stay cool! :glasses:

^^^^^^^ this

WOW! Great progress! Your family must be proud!

The sugar recommendations are for ADDED sugars ~30 grams daily for women. So you do not include sugar in milk, fruits, or any other food where it is naturally occurring. Hard to track with MFP since it groups all sugars together. I also would suggest to track sodium ~2500 or lower or fiber ~30 grams per day

You look awesome! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for this info guess I'll keep trucking along at TDEE this week! Awesome timing since boyfriend made awesome sausage gravy biscuits this morning!

A 15% cut would be around 2200 calories a day. Which is the same I got from the ChooseMyPlate website (I've been doing a little testing to see if this is is inline with the Scooby numbers) This group also recommends custom setting your macros to 40% Carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat, which differs a bit from Federal feeding…

Awesome results! I just did a week eating at TDEE and am back to my cut. Feeling a little more hungry today. But not going to worry if it takes me a couple of days to get back to being use to 2000kcal!

This may help: What is Physical Activity? Physical activity simply means movement of the body that uses energy. Walking, gardening, briskly pushing a baby stroller, climbing the stairs, playing soccer, or dancing the night away are all good examples of being active. For health benefits, physical activity should be moderate…

Found this on the Scooby site...maybe it can help some of us be as awesome as Kiki! http://scoobysworkshop.com/zero-to-100-pushups-for-complete-beginners/

That's what I was thinking too - that TDEE includes exercise so I should keep my schedule. Part of the reason I choose this week to take a break is because I have a 10K on Saturday. So with my hour walk yesterday and the 10K I will still be maintaining my 3-5 hrs. (if I did my regular routine I would probably have hit 7+…

2 back fat rolls! I'm down to one!

My question is about activity while eating at TDEE. I have been at TDEE-15% during April, May and June so I decided to eat at TDEE for the first week in July. (I had seen something before about taking a break every 8-12 weeks). Should I maintain my regular workout schedule as well? I did take my morning walk yesterday…

awesome progress!

I found this in the data base so I just measure by the cup or half cup how much pasta I want. Deleted - Whole Wheat Pasta 1 Cup Cooked, 1 cup 160 Carbs 41 Fat 1 Protein 7 Fiber 6

I don't think there is because that's the way MFP is set up. Figuring out your calories with TDEE-% is different because it includes your activity already so you don't need to adjust your daily calories. However, I do know that many people log their exercise but then change the calories burned to "1" this way you can still…

Had been eating a low calorie diet for a while before this? Sometimes it just takes time to adjust. Did you read the sticky "What to expect?"

LOL....love it. Too bad I work in a clinical setting where I have access to a scale that I CANNOT put away. Oh well, I try to avoid it as much as possible and I don't get upset so I guess that's the important thing.

Well I did do a hike today so I thought I would share some pics. MFP estimates ~850 calories for 90 minutes of hiking, uphills, carrying <10lbs. The hike took 2 hrs - stopped for photos and for a bit at the falls so I estimated 90 minutes of solid hiking. Elevation: 600 ft in 1-mile Cute arch way 160 ft Falls at the end…

Hi You stats are similar to mine...I'm 40 5'3" and sitting at 181 lbs right now. I do 3-5 hrs of exercise per week and have my daily calorie intake set to 2000. I have seen mention on here that the military fat % calculator is high for women, but I have been using that also until I can find a better method. I figure as…
