ok, So I should eat my TDEE I input and ignore the calories posted, unless I burn WAY more than normal (like Saturday when I do this 40 flight climb), then eat more.

Wait, if you don't enter your daily exercise, when do you know you've gone over your targeted deficit? For instance, I have my TDEE set and the difference from -15% (1897) and my BMR (1623), which is an exercise burn daily of 274 calories, so if I burn more than 274 calories in exercise a day, wouldn't I need to know that…

I just read through the articles and there is mention, a few times, of weight gain being a high probability in the first few weeks of doing this as your body resets to normalcy from the deficit it has been living in. I wouldn't worry too much about 3 pounds, especially after a nice spa weekend :)

I have absolutely no idea if I figured this correctly. I used "Moderate activity" and got a TDEE of 2231 (15% deficit to 1897). My BMR is 1623. So I changed my goals to a caloric intake of 1897, Carbs 40%, Protein 30%, Fat 30%, fiber 30g, sodium 2500mg. Now...as long as I do not burn over 274 additional exercise calories a…

I've never had a passport...will this be an issue!

I started with the zip and graduated to the One. I love it. I have a dongle on my computer at work and home so it updates all day. I can keep track of how much I walk and it motivates me to do more. I paid the extra $50 for the Fitbit premium website to get the trainer. It basically ups your activity level every week to…

I lost 30 pounds in 3 months JUST by not drinking soda. Diet is just as bad for you as regular. Once I threw in working out 3 times a week for 45 minutes I dropped almost 50 pounds. I would highly recommend cutting way back on the soda, whether it be diet or regular.

ABC ran a spot on it, thanks to Rhianna tweeting it... http://abcnews.go.com/US/vitamin-drip-infusions-gain-favor-hollywood/story?id=16496052#.UOwk4m9ZXVE Just another "high", and an expensive one at that.... oh well....at least they are pumping vitamins and not heroine.

Thank you all for your input.... I think I am going to look into getting the FT4. Seems like a winner overall and you all have given it a grand review!

HI! Welcome aboard! I am starting to track again as well. I have about 50 pounds to lose. I lost 40 a couple years back and have gained 18 of that back. I am determined to not gain any more! I am MORE determined to lose what I need to!

When I finally quit I was at 3 packs a day and had smoked for 20+ years. I had been trying to quit for 5 of those years. I tried everything. Gum, patches, lozenges, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, brushing my teeth, exercise, Popsicle... EVERYTHING.... nothing worked. Why? Because, even though I was on a quest to quit smoking,…

I am on day 3 of Level 2 and have lost 1 inch around my butt, 1/2 inch around my ribs and 1/2 inch around my waist. I have not lost weight, but I figure with the strength training in this that would be normal. Muscle weighs more than fat, so for now I am very happy... soon...soon the fat will start rolling off and the…

I use MFP App. It has a whole bunch of restaurants already loaded and is easier to use now with the update. You can also ask your waitress for a nutritional guide (most places have them on hand), then just mark what you had for update later.

I asked my doctor about these "blockers" and he said they set your system up so you can't process it... it just passes through, and sometimes uncontrollably.... Beware....

Almost not a 30 something anymore :sad:

Awww.... I can't do these :sad: already have a bad shoulder...oh well. See you tomorrow!

Way to keep with it!

You did them correctly, you used a modified version! Nothing wrong with that :) I got mine in today.... did 200 (couple those with the crunches and my tummy is rockin sore!)
