I have been under the impression that I was six feet tall until recently, when a doctor's nurse told me that I was actually 5'9. Regardless, my goal weight is 140/135 lbs. I previously was 140lbs and felt great and would like to get back to that range. I'm currently 170lbs and this is after about 75 total pounds lost.

According to my doctor, I'm 5'9; according to every other measurement I've had since I was 18, I'm 6 foot even. I weight 180 (down from 220 in February of 2014) and trying to make it back to 135. I used to work out every single day and LOVED the power & strength I felt I had after a good 4 mile run. But, like so many do,…

But, the good thing is that once you've logged enough, you'll know in the back of your mind what a regular day looks like for you. If you are like me, I typically eat the same 10-15 meals on a circulating basis every week for dinner & lunch, and my breakfast is always the same. I typically go for the same snacks, too. This…

All right, this makes sense. Thank you, very much, EvanKeel!

Thank you, everyone.

I'm also extremely confused by MFP's set up/TDEE/BMR, all of this jazz. Every thread I read, or online calculator I try just makes me more confused. 1.) MBB5, you're saying that if I can get an average of what I burn every day, and take a percentage off of that, it would equal what I should eat every day to lose weight?…

I am six foot even, and weighed 145 at my lowest. I don't feel I looked sickly, or too thin. Just depends on your body, grrl.

I do go by the machine for now. I just ordered a HRM, so that will make a difference. Thanks!

Thank you, everyone! HRM it is!

Thank you, everyone! That is the one I was looking at. I appreciate all of your help! Have a great weekend!

What HRM do you use? I don't have one, and wonder if it really is worth it? The ones I see highly reviewed are quite pricey.

It is definitely an adjustment. I have been waking up at 4:40am, and getting to the gym no later than 6am every day for the last two months. Around the third week, my body had grown accustomed to the schedule and I found I was naturally getting tired earlier, easier for me to fall asleep, etc. I used to work out after…

I would really appreciate it! Thank you, very kind. I am 26, 6 foot even, 219 lbs, I work out at least an hour a day M-F. Is there anything else you need?

I went to the IIFYM website, but it didn't calculate my information. In the response boxes it simply said NaN; what does this mean?

I just recently started going back to the gym, and am working out for about a hour a day, Monday - Friday. Typically, I do one day of stationary bike for a hour, with 8 pound weights, one day of weights only, and run at least a mile a day on other days. Saturdays we typically do something involving the dog, which means…

I just started working out again, but when I was previously a gym rat, I ran four miles a day, every day. In three months I lost 50 lbs., JUST because of running. I did not give up anything including drinking beer daily, and general poor eating habits. I am currently working my way back up to running four miles a day; I…
