The scale in the pic on the left was 147 l s. this week on the right it is at 143. It has been at 143 for 4-5 weeks now. I have been on this full blown health kick for 11 weeks. I've definitely lost inches for sure, but not as drastically lately. I have gained muscle, and can see small difference in pictures week to week…

So I read the article and I could add 230 more calories to eat my resting rate. But as far as eating...I already do those things. I have an egg and whole wheat English muffin for breakfast 5-6 days a week, fruits and veggies as snacks, nuts as snacks, Greek yogurt, fruit and kale with lunch and protein rich dinner. And I…

I've read that but I don't feel hungry because I eat throughout the day, and only feel legitimately hungry after a good workout. Which I fuel up with protein and a bit of carbs. I'm not sure i could even eat 1800 unless I was eating lots of carbs. Some days I can consume 1400 but I feel like I ate a lot and usually really…

Out of curiosity I did the calorie counter and it says for fat loss I should eat 1583 calories, and extreme fat loss eat 1187 Is that right? I try and eat 1200 (after burning and eating back) but it varies.

I use myfitnesspal and enter it in. I know it's not entirely accurate. When I use a machine that estimates the calorie burn I go with that. I'm actually hoping to get the UP to help with this.

I have been trying to cut back my carbs, as they are a total weakness for me, which is why I do smoothies for lunches. I have considered not doing the english muffin in the morning, but what I love about that breakfast is that it completely holds me over. I am not hungry when I have my 10am snack but eat it so that I don't…

I am on week 9 currently. My strength training routine is made by a coach so we are making it harder this week actually. I do my best to log everything I eat and eat small portions. I am pretty routine actually. Typical day is: Breakfast: 1 egg on an English muffin with a slice of cheese and deli sliced meat Snack: 1…

I try really hard to eat clean. I do occasionally eat out and also enjoy a beer here and there. BUT typically we make every meal from scratch. Mondays are the hardest.....because, well, it's MONDAY. Bt I try and log everything. Feel free to take a look!

Thank you! Glad to know this is normal. I too am obviously impatient. I want this to be a lifestyle change (though the only real change has been adding the gym. Since for the most part besides lunch my meals are the same.) I hope it lasts and so far overall I'm loving seeing the results- even if they are small. ( I took…

What is TDEE?

Also- I aim for 1200 calories a day (if I work out I make sure I eat what I burned) Then I have my goal as 1lb a week but wouldn't complain if it was more ;)

I try really hard to log all my food intake. Some days I forget if I'm busy at work. But dinners completely vary. Example for this week: Monday- tomato soup and a grilled cheese (my lazy cooking evening due to the evening at the gym) Tuesday: 3 small homemade turkey meatballs with some chopped onion and garlic, 1/4 cup…
