Well, weighed in this morning at 157.6! Sorry if TMI, but on Wednesday when I weighed I was mid-cycle so probably was experiencing some water retention as i usually do around that time. This morning's weigh in is actually great data to have because it was exactly the same time (same day, same point in my cycle) on November…

Heybales, you're such a fountain of knowledge and have probably saved countless folks around here from losing their minds during this process - so a huge thank you :) So I'm not sure if I'm understanding completely. Based on the calcs you've done, would you say then that the results of the RMR test I had done could be…

Hey again! I weighed this morning unclothed, and at the same time as they weighed me last Friday at the clinic (10am). I was 159.6. My BF% per MY scale was 25.8 and my Total Body Water % was 50.6. So that is a gain of 5lbs in 7 weeks (November 19 - January 8) and not sure what my original weight was because I started…

Awesome, thanks so much. This was really really helpful - I need to read through a few times to really process. I'll get back to you with the non-clothed scale weight (I want to replicate teh circumstances as much as I can, which means weighing after a rest day which means Wednesday) but to answer this question: "Basically…

This is very true, and I hadn't thought if that way :) Thank you! Always the voice of reason and a fresh perspective!

Thought I would post a little update since it's been 5 days since I last checked in here. I weighed on Friday at 154.6, so I actually dropped 1.4 lbs from my initial weigh-in. I think I had some hormonal fluctuations happening when I did my first one so I had the feeling it would be lower on Friday. Overall, I'm noticing…

Thanks! That all makes sense to me. And I will not take a grain of salt ;) well, maybe a grain, for taste. I guess I will hang out here around 2250 and see where I land! I redid my calculations using your spreadsheet, heybales, and my new BF% and weight, and it gave me approx 2200 calories/day burn. I also redid weigh…

Thanks! I will test my HR on waking for sure. I've also been doing my morning temps. I've had my thyroid checked and all is ok as far as test results go. Since last spring I've been working with a holistic doctor who firmly believed based on symtoms exhibited, that my hormones are quite of of balance (I know this to be…

I can't figure out how to edit so I apologize for how this shows up. Just wanted to add a few other pieces of info (age, etc.) since it paints a better picture of my conditioning. I'm just popping in because I've just weighed. Gulp. This is my scale, btw: http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-Touch-Digital-Bath-Scale/dp/B003N4AVKE…

This is my scale, btw: http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-Touch-Digital-Bath-Scale/dp/B003N4AVKE Weight: 156 (That's +16lbs since May in case anyone is curious :( ) Body Fat: 24.9% Hydration: 51.7% Bone: 4.8lbs Muscle: 40.8 lbs. I'm not sure what to do what that info. I forgot…

Thank you! I should have read more closely because it sounds like you answered the question I asked jaeone above! I like your approach to testing the limits of TDEE, and it makes a lot of sense to me. I definitely can't go back to the way things were. I LOVE running but it is the crappiest feeling to not be able to eat…

Thanks for your advice :) I have been weighing my food since I started eating at my TDEE (2280 based on scooby, fitness frog, healthcalc) and have had my macros steady at 40/30/30 :) I am confused a bit about how to know when to start reducing calories...ie how long should you hang out at your TDEE before you realize "Uh…

Thank you!! I didn't make it to the post you mentioned yet - I'm working my way backwards from the beginning (or forward from the beginning?) and am on Page 120, so I'm sure I still have lots of good stuff to read :) I am not weighing at this point :blushing:. To be honest I am totally petrified because it affects my brain…
