Thanks Prokomds! Although you're 25 - LOL. I'm pushing 39 :-). Still, point taken that changing the calories is probably not as important right now as just keeping on this new path. It is a marathon, not a sprint. I think I'm going to keep netting int he 1500-1600ish range until the end of January and then re-evaluate. The…

Yes, I understand that part of it at least -- LOL! I just don't know then if I should take my 20% cut from sedentary (TDDE = 1830-ish) or lighly active (TDEE =2100 ish). I have an office job, but I have trying to work out AT LEAST 3x per week plus I am pretty active with the kids on the weekends. I got a BMR of 1400. If i…

Cheryl -- there is a link to it earlier in this discussion. I've read it dozens of times, but I can't figure out if I should be sedentary or lightly active. Plus, I like the motivation of eating back my exercise calories (which I know you do not do with that). I think I just need to make sure I'm not eating back too many…

No hrm, but thinking of one now! In had asked for one for Xmas. I did read the roadmap, that is why in tried 1500 instead of 1350. I got Bmr of 1400 (using the body fat calculator) and I think sedentary TDEE was 1830ish?

Thank you so much!! In did not think at all about sodium ... Will watch that. I know itbhas only been 1 week and time will tell. Justbwanted to know if perhaps I should net 1350 - 1400. I guess I will give it a at least a month before goingndwn. I have it set to 1lb loss, lightly active, but thinking i should put sedentary…

I'm going to start it back up today, so I'll join you. I was successful on this after I had my second baby. Problem is, I get so sore after it at first that I can barely move the next day. How are you feeling? I tend to need to do it every other day or even every few days at first, so getting 10 session of Level 1 can take…

I think the intent is for you to NET 1460 (eating back any additional calories from exercise but not your normal household/childcare routine). However, I donn't think it would be a big deal if you only netted 1200 here and there.

thanks! I only worried it was muscle because I have not been getting in my normal work outs.

Thanks so much!!!! That last work out looks great, but a lot of looking at the treadmill to change the speed /incline!
