Hi there, I had the same fears as well. On my work out days I eat 2100 calories and non work out days I eat 1600. I highly suggest raising your calorie intake as it can work against you. Initially when i started with MFP, I was only eating 1200 calories and always fatigued, I also did not lose much weight/fat. I'm 5'3"…

I would say losing 0.5% a week or 2% in a month is healthy, attainable and realistic.

I totally agree, I am watching for calories and macros. I'm currently at 26% body fat, I am trying to get down below 20% to something like 16-18 for now. I'll reassess once I hit the goal.

Cardio to burn calories, I am doing a full marathon next year though...not quite training for it yet

I believe the 40/30/30 she posted refers to the Zone diet which many have had success with. Jenn Anniston does zone but it might now work for me lol

My work out regiment is strength 3 days a week and cardio 6 days a week. I'm trying to trim fat off but maintain the muscle I do have...I am definitely not trying to build muscle since I have enough. Isn't 15% protein too little? Anyone have any success with a certain macro breakdown %? I know all of our bodies are…

I also wanted to add that in the past when I had personal trainers/worked out on my own I would still eat 1200-1500 calories and burn 500-1000 calories a day. This must have been why I was so fatigued. My weight wouldn't change too much though. Could creating such a big deficit contributed to me not reaching my body…

Thanks all...I set it on sedentary since I do work a 9-5 desk job and I sit in a desk afterwards for school. I will eat more when I work out. Everyone who contributed, thank you so much!!

I weigh myself in the morning and at night, I see about a 3-4lbs fluctuation in weight depending on how much water I intake, if I've used the restroom and if I have eaten any heavy carbs. I say the best time to weigh is anytime as long as you weigh the same time everyday! And why am I always 5lbs heavier at the doctor's…

Thank you! My scheduled is so packed which presents a challenge. I work full time and I go to school full time. Softball season just ended for work so I have a little time on the weekends to catch up with working out. Good luck to you!
