In addition to the other comments: What % cut did you use on Scooby? If I use 15% based on your stats, I get 1958 on moderate (3-5 hours) and 2179 on active (5 - 6 hours). Good luck! Edit to add: I didn't read your post properly, I see now you did use the 20% cut :smile: Also try using the 15% cut instead.

Because of my resistance training my posture has dramatically improved. I have always been 168 cm tall. Today I had a session with my biokineticist and I am now 169 cm, apparently all because of my better posture :smile: In addition my body fat % used to be in the high 30's and is now 27.6! It also means that if I reach my…

Until someone else who knows more comes along I'll share what I know. I took 2 weeks off from lifting because of a holiday and this week during my first session back my trainer told me not to worry if I feel weaker, I will be back to my old self within 2 sessions. To maybe offer a different possibility as to your emotional…

This is not only based on my MFP / EM2WL experience, but also forums in general. When I am new to a forum and have questions it is sometimes difficult to trust a response from an unknown person. After lurking for a while I get a feel for who knows what they are talking about and can therefore translate the general ideas to…

Hi there A day or so ago there was a thread about protein shakes and a link to a very informative doc in one of the comments. Ughhh, cannot find it now, but maybe someone else can help out? There was some interesting information about the best use of whey protein depending on the type. My understanding is that it is best…

That's a very interesting question. I also use a fitbit but I have never even thought about it in so much detail. So I am also interested in other responses. I think it is the one challenge of using a fitbit to calculate TDEE if you have bigger differences between workout and non-workout days, but wanting to eat a set…

Great idea! Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Good luck!

I joined MFP at the end of March and was one of the lucky ones to have found this group early on (beginning April). I have been lurking for a while, but I think it is time to share my progress to also show why a woman can eat 2000 cals and lose weight. I have been eating 1900 - 2100 per day the past 4 weeks (aiming for…

This. Figure out what works for you and learn more and more. Be selective about all of the advice floating around. Except for the success stories, take it all in, in the future it will be you! And me :wink:

I have taken a bit of a different approach where I take both my fitbit TDEE min cut value and the fat2fitradio calorie intake into consideration to determine a starting point. From there I put it into practice to see what type of results I get. I have recently adjusted my daily goal from 1800 to 2000 and seem to be getting…

100% agree. Yes, my fitbit helped me to understand my TDEE better. But it also keeps me motivated to increase my "non-exercise" activity - I want to see a high number of steps at the end of each day! And I also don't think it takes unnecessary extra time in my day. Later it becomes "automatic", like brushing your teeth.

I also use a fitbit and HRM. There is a link between Fitbit and MFP and once you have associated your accounts you record your HRM exercises on MFP with the starting time. Fitbit then overrides its info for the same time period with the information you provided, so no double counting. :smile:

I feel too weak if I exercise on an empty stomach in the morning, so I usually have a banana before I set off. But I definitely agree with the overall attitude in this thread that you should do what works for you. Your body will tell you.

I think those pictures are in the Kindle version. Are you referring to the pictures that go along with the exercise descriptions? To the OP: Overall the answer would probably depend on how you use your Kindle in general. If you are comfortable using the highlighting and note-taking on the Kindle it could be fine. I bought…

Agreed!!!! Congratulations, and thank you so much for the inspiration!

Bump for later

Thanks for this! I couldn't figure out why my HRM was showing significantly lower numbers than the projected cals on MFP. I was starting to think I was doing something wrong while exercising or slacking too much during my aerobics classes!

BMR = 1511 Goal = 1600 plus some of my exercise calories on exercise days

Another newbie signing up for the challenge....

Thanks, kinda obvious when you notice it! :smile:

Yes 47,5% is 0.475. But looking at the formula it wants you to work out 52.5% of your total weight to give you your Lean Body Mass. (your total body weight = 100%, body fat = 47.5%, LBM = 52.5%). I think you have just jumped ahead a bit and did that part of the calc before you applied it. :smile: PS - Sorry, don't know how…
-
I am no BMR expert, but it looks like the way you applied the formla is incorrect when you worked out your LBM. I think the part in brackets should be 100-47.5, not 100-0.475.
