Thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement!!

Thanks for the comment! According to Scooby's calorie calculator when exercising 1-3 times per week I should be eating 2197 calories to have a 20% fat reduction. The way I figure it if I work out harder than I plug in on Scooby's site and don't eat those calories back I will drop it a little faster. :) Or so I hope! thanks…

Thank you for all the advice!! Feel free to add anything else. =)

As did I!! =) Keep it up!

I am currently eating 2050 calories (I have been playing around with my calories on my profile so you may have seen something different) and then when I exercise I normally burn 400 additional calories and I eat back about 300 of those. I have been doing this for the past 3-4 weeks. I will start taking my measurements and…

I do the same for her when I cook...Whenever I figure up recipes I tell her the total amount of calories per serving and she does the same. We work together as a team. I've lost 16 pounds and she has lost 15. =)

Ok, thanks! But how many calories should I eat? If I plug my information into myfitnesspal it tells me to eat below my BMR which I know can send your body into starvation mode. If I plug my information into most any other site it shows me to eat above my BMR...

Oh....Okay! I understand what you are saying now. I'll try my best to cut out quick adds if at all possible. Thanks!

So, strength training and eating at my TDEE seems to be what some of you have said. Any other ideas or suggestions on what types of strength training to do and where to figure my TDEE? Is it okay to strength train on my off days from training for my 5k? Thanks in advance everyone! You guys are awesome!

Ok, where do you go to find your TDEE? There are many websites. Also, I'm currently training for a 5K and I'm almost halfway there...do you have any idea if I can do that as well as strength training effectively? If so, do you have any recommendation for strength training routines/exercises?

All good. =)

My TDEE is over 2300. Yes, I mean my BMR. I am a male, not a female. =) This is the website I have been using to calculate my BMR: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ I have also used this one at times and as you can see the BMR is practically the same... http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ The reason I have…

My clothes have become much looser...I started at a size 38 waistline and now I am at a size 34 and even that fits a bit loose. I also started wearing XL shirts and now I can wear some of my L tshirts. I am naturally built thicker up top so not all of my Large t-shirts fit like I want them to because I don't like the super…
