I love mine, it was relatively cheap, easy to use and does the trick. I use it for weight lifting as well, seems accurate.

In MFP in goals, i believe it tells you what your daily caloric expenditure is, if you have your settings for 1 lb loss/week it would be your current goal + 500 calories (so your total calorie deficit is 3500 cals in a week, 3500 cals = 1 lb) You could also google TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) and you'll find many…

Double post

This was obviously a typo, the fluctuation has been from 151 to 153 lbs. Once again thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize I was eating that many white flour things, but I guess I am and might be in denial about it. I usually don't have rice, or pasta, or pizza, but cereal and breads I do enjoy!!! I always try to scan…

I should also add that my goal would be to lose 5 or 10 more lbs, but more importantly lower body fat %

I didnt gain weight in august, i just keep fluctuating between 141 and 153 lbs for the last 6 weeks. Body fat % is about 26.5 Typical workout week: Monday: NROL T: zumba W:NROL Th: spinning F: break S: break S: long bike ride I do wear a HRM during my workouts and that is what I enter in my diary Thanks for the feedback

Beautiful results!!!!!! Love my zumba, best way to burn calories over a short period of time, I burn 350 - 400 calories in an hour, and its so much fun!

Yum, love love love texas road house, I usually get the sirloin kabobs, with veggies and the side salad and ask for oil and vinegar so I can do my own dressing. Very reasonable price wise, calorie wise and delicious!!!!! And yes, that cinnamon butter bread is to die for, I just take a pinch from one of my kids ;)

It takes time for your body to adjust to what you are doing, don't expect a miracle loss, and don't freak out if the scale says you have gained 2 lbs in one day since its not real. Be patient, stick with it, and sooner or later results will follow

I didn't do paleo, I did keto, but you also experience carb flu symptoms with keto I wouldn't say I jumped right in, just because I was trying to lower my carb intake anyway before keto. I barely noticed a difference, no major headaches, lots of energy, and the cravings stopped after a week or two (the only craving that…

I grill it, with garlic and lemon, but it falls apart too ;) Its delicious, though

Yes, eat back your calories. Up your protein and lower your carbs. Also, be patient, sometimes it takes a while for your body to adjust to what you are doing.

Bump to see if anyone else can provide useful info ;)

Thanks ladies, i'll stick with it and try to not freak out :) Its just difficult to argue against what has worked in the past But one thing that i have truly learned over the past 3months is to give my body time and stick with it even if the numbers dont go in the right direction, usually my body caughts up with me shortly…

Thanks and nice progress ;)

Good question. I don't know but I have a follow up question. I started NROL (new rules of lifting for women) a couple of weeks ago, before that I have been on a supervised diet, I am now on the maintenance phase but I still see a dietitian/physical trainer once a month. Yesterday I had an appt with her, she uses one of…

I don't think you are meant to do it a certain amount of times. Just mix it up among your workouts. I do it once a week, the classes I do are 45 min long

Iike the pure protein ones, they taste good ( a little chewy) and they are low in sugar and carbs. I like the peanut butter and the revolution flavors

Nuts, they are healthy and satisfy my cravings for something crunchy, just a handful though cause they are high calorie

I know, i always prefer to be under. Just now i am netting at BMR.... But if it aint broken .... ;)

I think you are doing it right, since you are not entering exercise in mfp net and total calories are the same. May i ask, if you have already lost 18 lbs, why are you not sticking to what you were doing? Did you plateau?

somewhere in between ..... it pays well, great benefits, I am good at it so I get recognition of my peers, and I studied a lot to get my "dream job", turns out the dream is not all that is cracked up to be. But I could do so much worse ....

I workout at lunch time, about 45 min, then a quick shower and then I eat something quick at my desk. I do have the advantage that I have a fitness center in my building, which its pretty great. Also, you may try getting up a bit earlier in the morning, or after work, before picking up the kids. How is your significant…

First of all congratulations on 50 lbs lost, that is awesome!!!!!! I haven't done maintenance yet, but I think I would start calculating your TDEE (google it), that should be the amount of calories you need to maintain your current weight at whatever level of exercise you want. I would do it very slowly, like upping cals…

Your math is wrong, 120 lbs=54 kgs ;)

I am 5'5" and i have always been "chubby". The lowest i can recall is 145. When i got married i was about 150 and looked great in my honeymoon pics although i remember still feeling a bit overweight. I set a relatively small goal to reach 150 (17 lbs) to begin with. I am only 1 lb away from that but since the the weight is…

Try upping your protein, I target 100 g per day, and cut own carbs. It has woked for me.

Tony, I just want to say thank you for being patient and answering most questions. I agree with some of your advice, some of it not so sure. Some people on MFP automatically attribute a plateau to eating too few calories, so they recommend upping the calories, never netting below BMR. And then more poster add that it…

The worst you can do is give up, you are only 22, if you dont take control of your health now imagine how its going to be in 10-20 yrs. You can do it just with diet, or walking, you dont have to be an olympic athlete, just move that body a little. Even if you lose slowly, make lifestyle changes so in the end you are…

One day is not going to ruin everything, unless you are doing a ketogenic diet. Sure up your exercise, maybe compensate the next day, and stay on track afterwards. I doubt you'll see the damage next sunday, and even then, you have already lost 9 lbs, which means you know how to get the numbers go in the right direction.…
