Peanut butter supreme and Apple Pie!

I drink at least 2 cups a day WITH flavoured creamer - not fat free not sugar free. Its the one thing I will not give up and I look forward to that cup after my 6 am gym sesh. I have lost 20lbs since the beginning of January. I would rather sacrifice other fav sweets to have my coffee. Tried it black, tired vanilla almond…

I have made turkey meatballs, turkey meatloaf and lastnight turkey taco salad lol ^^But thanks for the suggestions

need to be able to prepare and eat in a matter of an hour so i have an hour to digest before going to the gym tonight :)

I'm 5'7" roughly 1500-2000 net per day losing 1-2 per week.

Yah I would not count an exercise by sweating. i just shovelled vigorously for 15 min burning 105 cals and not one drop of sweat...froze my *kitten* off. Not planning on logging that one since I am headed to the gym in an hour anyways.

Typing a post vs an hour of actual movement for someone who may have set herself as sedentary? Common people....get your heads out of your *kitten* and be a little more supportive.

I log shovelling snow so why not log washing a car? I wore my HRM when I did it just to see and I burned over 150 cals in 18 minutes....shovelling snow really is a work out. But the amount and weight of snow makes a big difference. I wouldn't bother logging it if it were just a light dust of snow. But this was a major snow…

I am a 2 year vaper. Use the ego batteries with a clearomizer....I order from fast tech....free shipping. As for liquid I use juicy clear :)

Thanks for the advice...maybe i will stick to the barbell but add in some free weights as well. I LOVE bench press and can squat the barbell easily just need to work on my form.

Still going to use the leg press and do squats and lunges with the dumbells. :)

Well I found an awesome app that shows all the moves with either barbell, dumbell, cables, kettle bell - even shows how to correctly do them. Just not liking the idea of bringing my phone and worrying about keeping an eye on it. Maybe if I take it a couple times i can memorize the moves. I want to focus on full body…

I'm wondering the same thing! Anyone???

Baked chicken breast with a side of cottage cheese topped with cucumbers and cherry tomatoes and salt and pepper...YUM!

Each day I have woken up a few min before the alarm lol! Usually I am such a deep sleeper and can not get out of bed until at least 7! I had a gf meet me at the gym all of this week and next week I am on my own. I am worried I will get lazy and not go because I am not held accountable to someone else. I'm sick of giving up…

[/quote] That would be it, to follow the MFP method. If exercise is too variable, that can work better than the TDEE deficit method this group recommends. So you can see how your Sedentary really isn't as bad sitting as a desk job staring at a screen. [/quote] Perfect! Thanks for the quick response

So since I work a desk job 40 hours/week I would also be lightly active? I used sedentary with 1 lb loss and it gave me 1600/day with eating exercise calories back. So your suggestion HayBales is to use lightly active with 1 lb loss and also eat exercise cals? That gives me 1770/day. I try to exercise 2-4 days/week but…

This^^^ x100

Bump

Its taken me 90 days to lose 16lbs and I have a 68lb loss goal. I wonder how others lose so fast as well. It is frustrating.

212lbs 5'8" Exercise 3-4 days/week for 30min to 60 min TDEE - 20% using Katch Mcardle - 1700/day and 2 days a week close to 2000 Losing 1lb a week

Not fitness related but... F!@# you and your dead husband. From my maid of honour and ex best friend a year after my husband died.

I think I will start some weight training soon :) Going to look for a gym buddy and try to go right after work as the gym is just across the street.

Of course I would LOVE it to come off faster but I tried the Low Cal and it is not for me. :)

Awesome thanks :)

Thanks so much for your help and time to run my numbers! I am just so confused with all the advice and don't want to over or under estimate my tdee!

So haybales, correct me if I am wrong...20% of 2214 is approximately 1750! I should set my cals to that and if I burn under 1615 to eat back up to that?

5'8" 31yrs 2 days/wk 30 day shred or cardio max and 2 days per week 30-50min walks. Work is a desk job.

Ok this site says my BMR is 1615. Hmm! What do you suggest I do? Currently set at 1700. MFP says 1721 Other one is 1759
