Im not atheist, but I do consider myself agnostic...and those who wanna pray for me or recite biblical jargon to me...yes its upsetting...I want to curse everyone on my FB page who posts their religious crap and inform them that everyone is not sold on GOD...so leave it in your home, hearts and place of worship...And very…

Lots of toning, strength training and water!!!

First off...look at this as a new healthy way of eating...NOT a diet...and if you want two pieces of cake/wk then go for it...this is your life, your weightloss journey...I would suggest going one week without it and see if it makes a difference in your diary/weightloss/inches loss...if not...jus make sure your carbs are…

This is what works for me plus/minus 50 cals on any given day....and I stopped logging my exercise cals...I was told if im eating my BMR and working out...eating back my exercise cals was defeating the purpose!!! Granted I spread my cals (50/25/25) Carbs/fat/pro...staying within 5% over/under of each

If Im not mistaken...TDEE has already taken into consideration your activity level...So what you wanna find out is what your RMR/BMR numbers are and make sure you dont go below those numbers....Thats what your body needs for proper functioning

Reducing calories by 15-20% below TDEE is a good place to start. A larger deficit may be necessary in some cases, but the best approach would be to keep the calorie deficit through diet small while increasing activity level. Example 1: Your weight is 120 lbs. Your TDEE is 2033 calories Your calorie deficit to lose weight…

I have heard the most reliabvle BF % testing is hydro dunking...I am looking to get that done pretty soon , I have seen it in my area for about $60...it also gives you your RMR and from that number you know how many cals your body needs and thats the number you shouldnt go under to properly fuel your body....and depending…

You have the answer...you need to at least eat your BMR to maintain lean muscle mass...if you are doing that and working out...dont eat back your exercise cals....you can add cal dense food like other posters and mentioned...but watch your fat/sodium intake....if your mom is preparing your foods with lots of fat…

Welcome to MFP...I have been a somewhat faitful logger since Jan 1, 2011 when I started my weightlosss journey..needless to say this has been an inspirational family....Pls feel free to friend me...and logging is very easy but you have to committ...my friends/family think Im crazy cauze i weigh/measure everything...and…

Nuts add calories but also add fat calories...so watch out for that...its just as important to keep your fat cals within range...When working out I usually jus add fruit for cals cause they are mostly carbs....and I use that energy for my workouts.... @ rboudiab And based on your RMR 1200 cals is prob not enough...I have…

Yes...the MFP app on the smart phones now includes a scanner....I love, love this feature...I scan everything at the store now so I know the exact cals of what Im buying....and most everything I scan has been in the data base and sometimes differ in cals from whats already in the database... Now to the topic at hand...I…

Bump!!

@ Kristen...Im srry I thought my diary was viewable...but its is only to my friends...Will add you!!

I bought a big pretty pink wter bottle from Tom Thumb(Texas) but I have seen them everywhere(Walgreen's, CVS) and it holds 64 oz...Now that I have that it takes the guess work out of how much water I have taken in for a day cause I know if I feel it up twice even with ice I am getting the water I need. Until I got this it…

Im just glad to see that at least 3 people say they work out when they wake up. I too am just too tired when I get home in the morning, esp since my husband picks me up and I have usually already fallen asleep by the time I get home. Now my question is...do you eat before you go to bed??

Registered Nurse working 12 hr nights in the surgical/trauma ICU and i am always on me feet, and I stay very active at work...I only wish for slow nights in the ICU...sometimes but not often!!! Hi all...I am starting a Turbo fire Challenge group on Aug 6...if anyone wants to join pls do...If your new to TF, restarting…

I am having a problem trying to create my custom foods...its keeps telling me nutritional info can not be entered cause my pro, carbs and fat exceed calories for the meal....I log my meals on MFP

I agree with hotmamasoon...I would definitely uproot for something more serious than a crush...there would have to be some talk of commitment and relationship...I love moving and starting over...esp if things where u are arent the best. I dont need family or friends so thats never a factor for me....I have relocated 3…

Thats what I do now...it is easier to log your cals on MFP to get your consumed cals for the day...I am not as savvy as Stubbysticks though....I keep a handwritten journal here at my computer in which I do the same...cals consumed-cals burned= deficit...

Question for you...you said you work night shifts...if so do you log your foods from MN to MN...I do now that I have the bodybugg, but before getting the BB I logged my meals according to my sleep wake cycle...but since BB resets my cals at MN I am adjusting to logging them from MN to MN...I have had my BB for 7 days…

I do eggs, ham, cheese, bell peppers and scallions in the microowave...got it from Chalene...love it!!!

kgs to lbs..multipy by 2.2!!!

I have only done bodybpump once...but I am going tomorrow with a coworker that I promised I would go with...the first time I had 5 lbs on each side of the dumbell(totaling 4.5 kg) never adjusting it since it was my first time...tomorrow I think I will alternate 5-8 lbs on each side...and thats it...depending on the focus!!!

I was wondering about the Scuplt cals burned also....but I know I will give it my all in HIIT 15, so regardless of what my HRM says at the end of the workout I know I will have burned something...LOL...Day 11 for me, in week 2 and I can wait to get to week 6 for some reason. I made the concious decision not to weigh my…

Good Monday Morn to all my fellow Turbo Fire bunnies....So I had my 2nd week rest day yesterday, much needed and I didnt do a freaking thing...so today starts the rest of my week 2. I am enjoying my TF workouts and even with working nites I am finding the time and energy to get my workout in befor going to work....I am…

Me too Minnie...I'm 5'2 163 when I started TF on 10/7, trying to get to 135...wanna keep some hips and AZZ...LOL...thats just me...LOL anyways...I'm glad we are in this battle of the bulge together!!! I know our goals are realistic!!!

I love Zumba, its a great workout and burns lots of cals depending on your effort but even at a low impact you would burn alot I'm sure....

I did Core 20, Stretch 40 today...I did wear my HRM and logged the cals from beginning toend, I just dont think I'm relying on them when I plan my cal intake for the day...meaning I will prob eat less than half of those cals back!!! This Core and Stretch were pretty intense...I didnt really much care for the stretching but…

I looked at my TF schedule which I write my cals burned for the class and I misquoted earlier...I burned 603 on the first Fire 30, Stretch 10 doing the new to class version, the second time I burned 512 w/out the new to class version and today I burned 495...so, yeah, im burning about 500 cals for the Fire 30...

WooHoo...I start day 4 today....are you eating enough cals??? Getting the right amount and kind of snacks in??? I am not any more hungrier than I was when I started TF...I have found myself eating more making sure that I eat back most of my cals to within 100-200...I know now that I have prob been at a plateau for not…
