This calculator did put my calorie intake higher. From what I understand, I need to eat that many good calories to reach my goal. Hard to believe. I have changed my eating habbits and cut out all fast food, sodas, bad carbs. I eat six small meals or more a day. With only water, 1-2 cups coffee in the morning and fitness 4x…

Thank you everyone, this is a huge help to me, and a boost to my motivation. I am not quite how to use the calorie counter on mfp to reach a defecit. ****Would that mean whatever I put in as my calories burned, on mfp, it then gives me that many more calories for the day, that I actually do not have "extra calories" to eat…

I'm in, I found this challenge on pinterest. I started September 1st!! I also have to start low, new at this and my knees are not happy so far.

WOW! This question posted brought allot of information. I had a similar question, which I am looking for the shorter answer. I am obese, six weeks into a four day week weight lifting and cardio. I am 49 yr old female. From what I have read women as myself, over 40 do not loose weight so much from cardio as weight training.…

WOW, way to go. How long did it take you to loose the 28 lbs. I am 49 and wondering when the scale will start to show results.

thank you, that helps. I was wondering why mfp had my protein in red, however using your calculations I am not going over. I am overweight. I have started dieting, cardio and weight training. Just recently joined mfp to track my calorie intake. Thank you again!!

thanks, that link was helpful, not that I liked the answers, but now I know here I stand....on my way to the gym! :smile:

that is a question I had also, mfp has me in red on protein most days. I do not know my body mas, your math was kinda over my head. I am just learning and hope to get to this level soon. Codergal, I appreciate your posts they are very informative. Thank you!

I need the same help, ideas on change. I am getting bored with the same ol food. However I have tried to cut out carbs, or breads mostly and I watched a video on what foods not to eat that was on the sideline of this page (mfp) and it stated whole wheat breads are not good to eat as one of the top five foods not to eat. I…

Way to go Marie!! You have great advice already. I am heavy and out of shape, however on the right track now. I do have a workout buddy and keep a journal. I just got a spiral notebook and log each machine or cardio work out I do. When I am weight training I keep my notebook with me machine to machine and increase slow in…

I had nothing much to work out in and was afraid I would split the seat in my capri's. I found a pair of mens jogging type or work out bottoms at walmart on clearance for $5, then I found a pair of 2x on clearance at the dollar general. And I found a pair of 2x at resales store still with tags for $8. Check it out!! Good…

Congradulations on your progress. I hope to have good reports in the near future! I have made changes recently. My eating habbits, portions and such, however change, and variety are struggles. We, my husband and I are trying to eat healthy. I started a work out schedule of sorts one week ago. I found this site this week as…
