  • I chose active because walking at a speed of 4.0 is pretty hard for me but i do it for 60 min and i burn alot of calories. Also, I dont just walk everyday I also workout to jillian micheals 30 day shred and sometimes do Billy Banks and I workout 4-5 days a week...combining all of those I dont think it would fit the…
  • The 500 calorie came specifically from treadmill
  • @heybales....I think I got confused on what you said? Lol. Today when I did 4.0 my shirt was totally drenched in sweat....so I would assume I am burning 500 cal? Plus I my thigh muscles are kinda sore...so I would assume im doing something right. But are you saying that im just gaining muscle?
  • Well prior to now I wasnt working out sadly. I would just do like household things wash etc. I wanted to change now because I felt I needed.to include exercise in my everyday life. And now idk whats going on. So I just recalculated MFP and it said since im active I should consume 1740 cal a day....so if thats true then…
  • I was losing weight before I started restricting my calories. I was 252 about 1 and 1/2 month ago. And then I when I hit 241 I started trying something different with the whole calorie intake thing
  • I got 1687 by the formula used in the biggest loser food journal. And I try to eat 1687 and burn 500 a day. Should I just go off of MFP calories per day for myself? And I set my treadmill on interval training every time I get on it. Two days out of the week I do jillian micheals 30 day shred
  • I drink 8 bottles of water a day. I never eat back all of my workout cal and if I do I only eat half. Its like im doing everything right but its still wrong if that makes since? For breakfast I eat 2 eggs with mushrooms and spinach, a cup of blueberries and I take women one a day multivitamin. At lunch I have either a…
  • Also I am a CNA so im always on my feet if that helps
  • @sherrimiller12 I do sweat a lot on the treadmill sometimes its hard to keep up with 4.0 and my incline is always at 2. I havent measured my waist and other things and I am 5'7 and if I am building muscle when will I actually start to lose the weight or at least see that im losing on a scale?
  • The 1687 doesnt include the calories I eat back from exercise. And I usually dont measure. I eat meat baked boneless skinless chicken breast 2 times a week and they are individually wrapped. And I eat baked fish salmon mostly 2 times a week which are also individually wrapped.
  • Well I got 1687 by multiplying my weight times 7.....but sometimes i dont actually eat 1687. Is it a must to do so? Or should I be eating more calories? 1687 was my amount given to lose weight
  • would you mind telling me how you lost it? (i.e calorie intake, exercises, etc..) I am a beginner MFP app user and have only lost 2 pounds so far. I am 243, 21 y.o and I would like to take small steps by reaching my first goal of 230 in 2.5 months. Thanks!
