omg! this!!!! i love Pitbull to run to!

ok, runners....do you find that running, after a long time, stalls your metabolism? from what I've read, your body gets used to the same workout after a while, and you should switch things up. I do do strength training, but often, the only thing I have time for is a 3mile run! 80miles a week is hard core! that is a serious…

Thank you!! I've been struggling with my calories since I started on here over a year ago! I still don't know If I'm doing it right! i've gained weight, even though i work out. i do have my bad days, but I always try to make up for them. I asked the question because I find i'm hungry often! Like today....I had lunch at…

I run 4 times a week and usually 3-4 miles(can take me anywhere from 35-45 minutes), and then I try to strength train also. Am I fit? I don't know. I've gained weight, even though I try to eat healthy and exercise. I do feel better physically, and i have lost a couple inches, and i feel firmer in areas....but am I fit?…

Haha! My apologies! I just see a lot of posts advising people to start lifting heavy.

That makes sense! Will try that next time

Whew! I worked hard so I was really frustrated when I got done! Lol

10lbs has been my goal since i started my journey here. i've not lost that, plus gained some.

everyone!

thank you for your nice reply!

I've been stuck at these measurements for a few months now. :( probably at least 3 months. like I said, i went back up a pants size. my legs are firmer, and my butt has lifted a little from running and squats, but if I'm toning, wouldn't I go down instead of up? i'm not trying to bulk up or anything. I've actually been…

I'm not trying to mix and match. I do use MFP to log my food, and using it helps me keep track of my calorie intake.

If I'm dropping fat, wouldn't I lost inches/weight?

my inch loss has stalled as well...... :(

no, i'm not logging 1500 calories of exercise. I'm logging what I eat, which I've been trying to eat 1900 calories. so that when I exercise and burn around 400, that I still have 1500. I log that exercise as 400 calories. I will stick with TDEE I think. since MFP can be confusing, at least for me! I agree something isn't…

I've been reading some posts regarding TDEE vs. MFP calculations. When I did my TDEE method - 20%, using an activity level of modrate exercise, I get 1901 as my calorie goal. With MFP, using an activity level of lightly active, I get 1900. I do sit all day but on days I workout, I run 3-4 miles and then do weights, and…

wow! that's amazing! i never looked at it like this. I know the scale is messing with my head, obvioulsy. I guess I would just like to know why? I have even went back up a size. it's frustrating because I really do work hard, when I work out, and to see no real change make me so frustrated. I just can't seem to get on the…

So, i weighed myself this morning, after not weighing for a few days. up 2 lbs! how is this happening?!!!! I'm certainly not eating that many calories to gain one pound, let alone 2! I have even been exercising, just like I do every week! I know weight fluctuates daily, and I did recently up my daily calories, based on my…

Yees I have measured regularly, and I've went back up a size which is why I'm frustrated! I know I pay too much attention to he scale and I'm working on that. I just don't get the weight gain every couple weeks either.

Well according to scooby, my tdee - 20% is 1911 calories! This is based in me exercising 3-5hrs a week. I don't know how I can meet that number! Plus I've been gaining 1-2lbs every couple of weeks, which i can't figure out. I started this journey at 166lbs. Then I went to 168. I am now 170 on a good day. I haven't seen 168…

So, on days I don't work out, i should eat my nets calories, 1652? do I eat that same number on days I workout and burn 400 calories? and then not eat them back? I just need this as simple as possible! Like, weight loss/net calories for dummies! LOL

Im 40yrs old 5'11 170lbs....i was 166 when i started mfp and have gained weight. The last couple months i was inconsistent with my diary as my grandma was very ill and then passed away. But im back to logging daily. Even when i wasnt logging daily i tried to eat well. And my workouts didnt change.

Yes my tdee-20% is 1652....with activity level set at sedentary

Well as i said, i set my activity level to sedentary because i have a desk job. Should i change to lightly active?

I set my activity level to sedentary, even though i workout 4 days a week, because i have a desk job

I've been struggling with this very thing since i started on MFP! i have actually gained 2-3lbs since my starting weight. I just can't seem to find that magic number i need to lose weight. I find that I get hungry too, but then you get told to "just drink some water". Well, I do that, and i'm still hungry. I started this…

Thanks so much! I was freaking out thinking that i just ran for 50 mins at 5.5mph and didnt go as far as i thought! WHEW! I work hard so its important i have something that relays the same message!

My hubby bought trying to be helpful but i hate raisins and I dont remember the last time i had regular Pb! Thank you!

Plus my stride changes depending on speed and also what song im listening to! Lol
