At what point would you recommend switching to eating at maintenance? I am quitting my gym for the summer so I won't have access to the heavy stuff for the summer. I have adjustable dumbbells at home and am doing a weight program (ChaLEAN Extreme) here at home for the summer. I guess I was thinking of eating at a slight…

You can adjust MFP to reflect what you want your calories to be. It is easy -- just go into your 'goals' from your home screen, go to the bottom of the screen and click 'change goals', check the section that says 'custom' and from there you can set what you want your calories to reflect. You can also adjust your macros.…

Have you considered doing a well constructed program that has a progressive arc? There are so many. I am going to be starting the one that is put out by the EM2WL group. It is a 12 week program broken into 3 phases of 4 weeks. I don't think that there is anything wrong with your program, but instead of doing, say for…

Yeah, the 2400 was with my deficit :) Thanks for the input. I will start there and go. Not 100% sure what I will do. I wanted to take a break from lifting for a couple of weeks and just refresh. I was doing the NROL4W program and just not feeling it much. I like either the EM2WL one in the Beginner Strength Manual or maybe…

How did you determine? Scooby? If so which option did you select for your activity?

Have you calculated your calories? Your intake seems very low.

Thanks everyone for the friend requests! I have learned a lot from you guys!!

The routine has goblets already I believe. ....

LOLOLOL! I love it! Alright, message received. I need to just let go and enjoy the process, right? ;)

I am kind of thinking that using the scale moderately might not be bad for me either. I have a goal size of size 8 to 10 (it is a healthy size for my frame and height). Right now I am a 12. So I guess I really probably don't have much to lose. I have a size 8 skirt that I am using as kind of a guide for what I want to fit.…

So other question for you guys... how is a good way to even set my goal weight? I mean like seriously? I have always gone for 145 as my goal weight, but that was before I was really lifting. I am taking a lifting break but I did buy the EM2WL book and am thinking of trying that program. I was doing the NROL4W but I just…

I logged my activity as moderate with 3-5 hours of activity a week. I will be honest, I do struggle a bit with my NEAT activity. I don't want to overestimate my caloric burn. I don't wear a Fitbit or anything. Do you think that I logged it as enough. Here is the nitty-gritty breakdown of my activity:* Mon - Spinning 45 min…

:)

Thanks girl :)
