Okay, I will start logging my veggies. Do you think I'm eating enough or should I be eating more? Every TDEE calculator that I'm looking at right now says I'm barely eating above my BMR?

lrmall01- You're probably right about the protein, I don't think I do eat enough of that. I actually do eat a lot of veggies, I don't log them because they are usually 0 calories and I'm too lazy to add them. I know, I know...

I'm 27, I'm 5'8" and weigh 199.1 lbs. My BMR is set from lightly active 1-3 hours a week and it's shown to be 1707, and my TDEE is 2348, which I eat 1763. I do change things up, I have a cheat meal about once or twice a week, but I don't go crazy over. I opened my diary now, I forgot to make it public for this. Also…

Sorry, I misspoke, I am using 20% of my TDEE. I have lost and gained a pound every week since I lost that first week, so I keep bobbing back in forth.

- Yes, my thyroid is normal. - I have Crohn's Disease, but that doesn't really affect my metabolism. - My measurements have changed slightly, like minus 0.5 inch. - Yes, I use measuring cups and I have a digital weight scale to measure food. I just don't get it.

Congratulations! You look awesome!

Same here.

It tells you how much you are burning as you are doing it, based on your weight, height, and heart rate. I bought mine off of amazon and I believe it was $60. I wear one with the chest strap so it's continuous. Mine is a polar but I'm not sure what number it is.

I was tired of guessing how many calories I was burning so I just bought a HRM, so i could be accurate as possible. Each exercise varies from each person's height, weight, and heart rate. It's a really good investment.

I really like it. I believe I'm on day 4. It's a hard workout, but it's so short that I can fit it in during a time crunch.

It's very intense, but doable. I did my first one in '11 and I will definitely do another one. I didn't do it for time, I did it just to finish. The obstacles are tough and the course that I did was basically 3 miles of straight up hill trail running. I got bruised, banged up, and very sore, but I was so proud to complete…

There is a certain technique to rowing correctly to get the optimal benefits. I would youtube the correct way to do it, because when I first started rowing on the river, I used my arms more so than my legs which is actually tthe opposite of what you want to do. The power is in your legs. It is a full body workout, but it…

That's awesome! It's inspiring... My brother is actually doing it and he is on his third day. He says it was harder than when he got off drugs!

I have a polar ft7 that I love love love, it was $80 w/ free shipping on Ebay. That would be $20 extra, but soooo worth it!

I've actually had more lucky with MFP. I tried the new points system for about 3 months, but I didn't care for it at all so I canceled it. One week I even gained 3 pounds, it was just very frustrating. I was trying so hard and I had nothing to show for it. MFP is a much better plan for me... plus it's free. :)
