Shonda, Can you please share how you set that deficit in both MFP and Fitibit? I'm also trying to figure out the math here.
-
How do you all use the weekly points concept in MFP?
-
Think in terms of a protein a starchy carb and fibrous carb. Then mix and match with foods from those categories. Lower serving size to adjust for your calorie goal.
-
Well, I still figured out my TDEE and that is my "goal" on MFP per the Olivia Method. My fitbit then syncs up and makes adjustments to my calorie level according to my activity that day with the fitbit. You don't have to do anything extra.

I agree KC...I randomly check the board. If I see movement, I'm just a click away.

Protein shakes don't have to be expensive. Shop around and look for whey isolate. You get the most protein for your calories. I also eat mini babybel cheese. 50 calories and 6g protein. You don't have to be a chef to make chicken ahead of time. I also cook large batches at a time. Easy recipe: 1 jar salsa (like for chips);…

My advice regarding calorie amounts you eat is to go by your weekly feedback from weight and body fat and measurements. If your numbers are going in the right direction, keep eating what you eat and doing what you do regardless of what others tell you. I'm short. I stay around 1200-1300. A high day for me is 1400. For MOST…

I went back to read everyone's comments. I remember when my hormone levels were wacked, I was gaining weight like crazy. I was gaining 10 lbs a month. My weight stopped increasing as much when I began a dose of synthroid but my body responded even better when I was put on Armour and then NP Thyroid. Please check that ALL…

I use a TDEE method based on my body fat %. The formula is the Katch Macardle I believe. I track not only weight, but body fat as well. My TDEE is 1500. I eat between 1200-1300 calories a day. On a high day I may eat 1400 calories but I always ensure I have a deficit and I create the rest of calorie deficit via exercise…

When I started with the dessicated thyroid meds my hair stopped falling for a while and I began growning new hair strands...to this day I still have the new hair strands in the front of my head...it makes me look like a mess because I have curly hair...so you can imagine those small hair strands sticking out lol...no…

I really think the controlled cravings may be a result of the "green" stuff in shakeology. I started drinking Raw Meal and it has the same effects on me.

While it's true that weight loss is calorie deficit you want to exercise as well to help you further along with that deficit and to ensure that the weight lost is fat and not muscle. You don't want to lose muscle on a calorie deficit so your intake should be ideally no les than 20% of your TDEE. The rest of your calorie…

THIS is very similar to what I do. I actually go a step further and ignore the net calorie stuff and configured my diary to give me calorie deficit based on the Olivia Method. I have a similar lifestyle with the desk job as well. I just hate it when people don't know the details of an individual's circumstances and start…

Yes they are carbs...but they are non-starchy carbs. I'm a small lady as well. I maintain at 1500 calories. According to my "trend" measurements I'm maintaining muscle and fat is going down. But this is not about me. Smaller individuals have lower calorie needs. PERIOD. Like it or not...this is more so if you have a desk…

I find it becomes easier when you eat veggies with your meals and don't focus so much on carbs. I still eat carbs and I'm not on a low carb diet per say but I control my carb portions because the calories add up quickly. I also watch portions for proteins but I'm less strict on them. I prefer to bulk up my plate with…

I'm 5' as well and my goal is 115lb. I don't think I can do any lower than that because I want this to be something I can maintain

I'm very familiar with WW. I will tell you that it's hard to "bank" calories using MFP. MFP is so obsessed with Net Calories so the weekly average on the report if not your true average calorie intake. I hate it. Otherwise it would have been a good tool to implement a weekly calorie banking system. So, since I've never…

The most helpful reply ...thank you

Hello I see some posts here and there with questions from the past. I don't actively check this thread so if you have any questions about this you can email me instead. Thanks.

This is really helpful. Thank you.

The cauliflower one sounds delish. I love cheese

I don't use a microwave at work. I bought a lunch crockpot and it warms up the foods I bring from home while I work. It was about $20. I think you can expand your lunch menu with one of these.
-
The roasting tips are very helpful thank you
-
Here we go again....another WW sucks thread lol WW sucks since they invented points plus. I counted points in the past with their legacy program and it helped me maintain my weight for YEARS. So their old program does work and there's a lot you can also learn from them. But from a business perspective they have messed it…

Hi Natasha, the script only works through the browser on the PC that you install it on. This is the only drawback.

Guys!!! this is so true! I'm 5' tall and I'm still trying to lose weight. Sometimes I eat 1200 or 1300 or 1100. It all depends on my caloric deficit/surplus/maintenance for that day because sometimes I exercise and sometimes I don't. Additionally I have a fitbit which adjust MFP calories based on how active my day is. I…

I had a proform I purchased a few years back and the computer board stopped functioning. I basically would have to replace it to repair. I endend up buying a new treadmill 3 years ago to replace the proform. This time around it's the Sole and it is a very sturdy machine. I agree with the other poster that Landice are…

I have both gadgets and I love them both. They work together actually along with MFP. I use the fitbit for all day calculation of my NEAT which is activity done throughout the whole day. Those calories count too believe it or not. I then use a Polar HRM for workouts because it will give me a more accurate count of my…
