Switchfoot - "The Beautiful Letdown"

On week days I take a 30 min walk (2.5 to 3 mph pace). Monday, Wednesday, & Fridays I go to the gym for 30 - 60 min (walk 5-15 min + stretch 5-15 min + weights 10-30 min) On weekends I do yard work and go on walks with my family.

Sounds like you've got it. If you want to check and see if your TDEE estimate is accurate, use a spreadsheet to add the total calories consumed for the month plus (3500 multiplied times the amount of weight lost in a month) and take the average for the number of days in the month.

I ran your stats on the Fat 2 Fit Radio website Your BMR is 1498 Sedentary TDEE: 1798 Lightly Active TDEE: 2060 Moderately Active TDEE: 2322 The catch to using TDEE on MFP is that you have to accurately figure out what activity level you are at and if you want to eat back exercise calories as an average or the day you burn…

Your TDEE is around 1850 based on a sedentary lifestyle. You should be able to eat that many calories without gaining weight, even if you did not exercise. Anything less and you lose weight. Make sure you are measuring your food to ensure it is the portion size you think it is. Be careful no to eat too much sodium, as it…

Introvert Mercatus Center scholar Jerry Brito debunking the top ten myths about introverts: Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up…

The real question is are you happy with your appearance and how you feel? I agree with Erikalynne18 that you may want to try weight lifting. I have seen many post from people who lost all their excess weight but still felt flabby. They found that by lifting weights their bodies tightened up and gave them the look they were…

Great progress!

Well done, keep at it!:smile:

When I entered my measurements in the three calculators, I got 34% (fat2fit original body fat calculator), 29% (Covert Bailey method), and 38% (military calculator). I had it checked via a machine that measures the electrical resistance from one hand to the other and the result was 30.5%. So for me the Covert Bailey method…

Go here: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/ and calculate your BMR and TDEE (put your goal weight the same as your current weight in the calculator else you will not get your current TDEE). Eat between your BMR and TDEE and you will lose weight safely. It will take time. You need to get over you aversion to lifting weights…

Reasons I bought a Kia Soul 1. Sits higher than a car which makes it easier to put children in car seats. 2. Sits higher which makes it easier to put me a a seat. 3. The seats were less cramped (side to side) than most small cars I test drove.

While GT is a well-respected school, for good reason, and may help get his foot in the door, the additional cost may not be worth it in the current financial environment/ job market. He will likely be better off in the long run going to UF or UA and not owing much after the fact than going to GT and having to pay it back…

Just out of curiosity, what would you consider concrete proof? There have been many accounts of people technically dying and then being resuscitated who claim to have seen heaven, hell, dead family members, bright light, God, etc.; but society writes it off as a delusion that is not to be trusted. So if the word of someone…

No guarantees, but here are some ideas to try: 1. If you are doing all of your workouts in the mornings, try splitting them up (half in the morning, half in the afternoon). I am usually less hungry after exercising. 2. Instead of eating a “sit down” meal in the evenings, use those calories to graze on lower calorie foods…

Since starting this reduced calorie lifestyle, I have observed several useful tricks: 1. Increasing protein, fiber, and/or water will make your meals more filling. 2. For me, walking or other physical activity reduces my desire to eat. 3. After eating lower volumes of food (but more frequently) for a month or two, the…

Congrats on making it to onederland!

I try, but we have 2 little chaperones that try to intervene whenever we get close. :laugh:

Congrats!

So far, I can eat whatever I want I just have to keep tabs on the portion sizes to stay within my calorie goals for the day. That being said, I have learned a few helpfull eating tips. Eating more protien and fiber, and drinking more water, keeps you feeling full. The longer you go without high sugar foods, the less you…

If you want to add calories without a major changes to the volume of what you are eating, try drinking fruit juice or milk with your meals (assuming you are currently drinking water).

If you eat the daily caloric goal you established in MFP, you will lose weight at the rate you chose when you set up your goal (default is 1 lb / week). If you eat less, you lose weight faster, which can have the unwanted side effect of loose skin. If you eat a little over, you lose weight slower. Your Total Daily Energy…

The simple answer is to not eat (net) below your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) (see APPS tab for the calculator). This is an estimate of how many calories your body will burn in a day if you slept all day or were comatose. In other words, this is the minimum number of calories your body needs each day to support the bare…

I collected some during Time Spiral block, but had no one to play against. A few months ago I tried MTG Online, but my internet is slow so people complained and I lost interest. Most effective card online was "Curse of Stalked Prey"; best physical card is probably "Damnation".

The crow is the mascot for a professional organization I am a member of, I spell it with a 'k' to make it uncommon. The anvil portion is due to the fact I am interested in blacksmithing.

I have protons!

Well if we are only as old as we feel, I must be ancient. My wife says old is 20 years older than your parents' age.

The answer is ... it depends on how you set up you MFP. When you set up your MFP, it asked you if you were sedentary, moderately active, etc.; if you picked sedentary, but you are now exercising and not actually being sedentary, you can eat the calories you burned off without impacting your weight loss goal. If you took…
