I think you are still misunderstanding what we are doing when we calculate that out to where we do not eat exercise calories. If I figure out that my TDEE (including 5 one hour workouts per week) is say 2600 calories and then I cut 15% off of that I would then eat 2210 daily, and as long as I am continuing to do those…

You weight will fluctuate daily, it's best to only record once weekly (or monthly etc.) and at the same time of day to get a more accurate picture of what you are actually losing. Things like water intake, sodium intake and whether or not you have used the bathroom can change your weight daily.

Based on your daily burn I would eat 2250 - 2350 daily (do not add in exercise calories but continue to exercise). This amount takes into account your activity level so you should lose weight eating that much daily. If you have a really hard workout day you may want to add something in after your workout if you are going…

I eat 1830 calories a day and have been eating at least 1600 - 1700 since my first 20 pounds down, I just started the New rules of lifting for women though so I'm not super concerned with the scale. I just want to drop pants sizes. Saying that people's tickers don't move when they eat more may be true, but reference the…

This is exactly what a woman at work was trying to tell me and I had to politely excuse myself from the conversation. I am not one of those people who thinks 1200 cals a day is plenty, I used to be, but now I'm doing well with 1800. I told my coworker, eat as CLEAN and PROPER as you want to, but I am sorry, if your TDEE is…

You don't subtract calories from your BMR. That's actually telling you that 1672 would work for you to lose weight...

I'm 5'4" and I eat 1830 daily for weight loss...

I do everything barefoot or in minimalist shoes. I hate sneakers and boots, sometimes don't have a choice though. My work shoes are Merril minimalist mary janes, and I have Vibram running shoes and don't wear any shoes at all doing my JM DVDs. Ripped in 30, 30DS, and Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism.

This actually depends on the laws of your area, in some places assault is the physical action. I can't find battery in our penal law.

Maybe this is different in other areas, but legally bikes and cars travel in one direction and pedestrians go against traffic. A bike and a pedestrian on the same road, both heading West for example, should be on different sides of the road.

It depends on how bad I am feeling. I won't go to the gym and spread it around but I do workout at home and I have found when I am getting over a common cold enough to feel like I can work out again, sweating it out helps me.

That doesn't make a bit of sense. I am losing weight steadily on 1830 calories, snacking pretty much the entire day. I eat around 7, 10, 12, 3, 5 and 8. Stating that snacks "make you fat" is completely incorrect. Eating more calories than you expend makes you fat. Eat when you are hungry, figure out the right number of…

generally this, I'll just have a serving instead of half the bag! Also, I do occasionally get the baked versions cuz I find them tasty, especially baked cheetos.

Btw you can actually look up proper breathing techniques when running and I find those very helpful. :smile:

I use a preventative inhaler - Advair - daily, but it sounds like my asthm may be worse than his is. However, I agree with using the rescue inhaler 15 - 30 minutes before running and pace yourselves, if you keep a steady pace and breath correctly it isn't too bad, and the more I run the better my lungs get, hooray!

Almost all of that post was ridiculous. Just the action of carrying all the extra weight is undue burden on your cardiovascular system. Also, if someone were to lose weight some of their medical issues might clear up!!! If my grandmother lost weight her knees and her diabetes would be better than they are now. And to say…

Eating at a deficit burns fat, you don't need cardio to lose weight. Cardio is good for other reasons, so there's no reason to leave it out, but if you really want to lose weight, start lifting.

That doesn't sound too bad, better than fish oil burps. :laugh:

Maybe adding some borax to the laundry would help?

I started out using 2.5 but eventually have worked my way up to 8lb weights. Still need the lighter ones for some of the more difficult moves but in general now I'm using 8 - 9lb weights. I'm hoping to work my way up to 20lb hand weights.

YESSS!!! This!! I am so close right now, I only need another two inches off my calf, which I know if a lot but it used be that I had to lose six inches on my calf to get there so I'm feeling closer than ever to my goal of wearing high boots!!

I think that the issue with the original post is that she is focused on the number on the scale. Try eating more and lifting heavy to re-shape your body, because you may be able to lose that last ten pounds and find out that your body still doesn't look the way you want it to because you don't have the necessary muscle…

80 - 128 oz average per day

I have a two layer sports bra that is perfect for holding my phone, I have a GPS tracking app that I use so I know distance and average speed. :)

Fantastic job!! Keep up the good work!

If you liked JM's 30DS workout you could try the Ripped in 30, I like that one better and find it a little more difficult than 30DS, plus there are four levels

Get a new nutritionist. You are not heavy enough to work out without eating any of the calories from the exercise. And you said that your nutritionist doesn't like MFP because it only allows you to go up to 2lbs per week of loss... restricting your calories to ATTEMPT to lose more than two pounds per week isn't healthy…

I just checked out your diary, you aren't eating nearly enough. You need to *at least* net 1200 calories and I would reccommend that you eat much more based on your height, weight, age and activity level. Your BMR comes out to around 1700, so ideally you would NET no less than that.
