Thanks, should I be lifting heavy? Or lifting a lil heavy with more reps? Sorry I'm sorta new at this and I want to do it right and eventually see results

Thank u ladies! U all have helped me so much. I am setting my minimum cals at 1700 and eating half of my cardio cals back. I'm going to start entering in my weight lifting aerobic exercise. I'll check back in just to say how things are going. I am on the wrong thyroid meds right now (very low meds cause weight gain) and…

Do u think I should even be lifting? Or focusing more on cardio?

Wow really? Even with the chest strap?

I go to the gym for 1.5-2 hours... I have a heart rate monitor with a chest strap. It's new, called a polar. And it's set to my age, weight and height.. So I don't have to calculate anything, it does it all for me.

What is TDEE? No not 1000 cals for all three work outs, my workouts are half cardio half weights. Umm well after the gym when I'm on my 1500 cals I am soo hungry! I usually eat back half of my cals burned. If I didn't make it to the gym I'm not as hungry. But it's hard to keep my cals down to 1500. I guess I'll play around…

Oh gosh, let me clarify

Thanks ladies! My son just turned 14 months, I'm ready to wean him. Not because of weightloss, but because I'm ready to stop.hes eating mearly for comfort which is fine, but he is starting to throw tantrums when he wants to eat. I feel like it's time. Anyone have any advice on weaning ? My toddler refuses milk !

Yeah was in a stall with not losing anything for 3 weeks. I downed my Cals to 1400, so about 200 for nursing. I eat some of my Cals back from working out. Just started so this is day 3 . So far I can say that my diet has tightened up quiet a bit! Feels like I'm eating 1200 Cals ahaha I def think that was the prob. But now…

I'm def going to try what u ladies suggested and go from there! Thanks gals I'll check in , about 7 days!

Thanks ladies! Is there a device that you reccomend? I notice sometimes when I am doing certain exercises the watch will just stop, drives me insane! I try to eliminate things because I would go on an all out binge if I had a small taste of something I liked. So a lack of self control. I'm really working on muscle, I had a…

Can I just Thank everyone for responding so fast! It's so nice to have support! Thank you guys so much!

I am using a polar watch with heart rate monitor. It has a waist strap so I assume it's more accurate than MFP estimate of Cals burned. I get my Cals to eat from a website, so I do 1200 just for me then I added 300 for breast feeding since he eats quiet a bit. I added 200 but bumped up to three because I was told my body…

Thank u for the encouragement. I just started giving my LO solids.. Should o decrease my cals??

Hey there mama! To be honest I just eat about 2000 cals, my LO eats a lot! I will just set my cals to 2000 so I don't have to add my BF cals in every day. I have three kids so I want to be as accurate on MFP as possible (ie not forgetting to log a snack or meal) . This is much easier for me . Hope this helps!

That makes sense! I did mess with my macros yesterday. I'm new to it, but I'm excited to see a change, I did notice a difference in inches . I know this will be a slow and steady process. Did u notice a drop in ur supply?

Some women say it depends on if he eats soilds yet.. If he does then like 300 cals If not then 500.
