Thanks everyone! This was exactly what I was looking for and I will definitely either buy these things at the store or choose them at the bar next time I'm there! There are multiple reasons for cutting out sugar and alcohol and it has less to do with what I'm eating but how I feel after I eat those things. Yes, I still…

Yea i ate back my exercise calories today and feel fine. I'm pretty good at listening to my body and knowing when to eat, when not to eat so I definitely don't feel like I was overdoing it. You're right though - I need to figure out what works for me.

Thank you so much! It finally clicked! My BMR is 1,330, TDEE is 2,294 and my daily calories are 1,835 so I will try to stay around that. I appreciate you explaining it to me!

I'm 27, 5'1, 120. I have it set on sedentary because I have a desk job. But I'm very active so maybe I should change it.

Sorry not trying to hijack this thread...but I'm super confused! Right now I have my calories set at 1,550 even though MFP suggests 1,200 (1,550 is based on a TDEE of around 2,000). Today I ran 10 miles and I ate back all the calories burned plus the 1,550. Is that incorrect? I honestly don't feel like I overate at all.

So if you're using the TDEE method, you shouldn't log your exercise?

Boshnivay - Maybe $120? It honestly wasn't a whole lot more than when I went to the Nike store a year before and bought some myself.

After quite a few shoe purchases and having sore feet, ankles, knees, etc I went and got fitted for shoes. I don't think I'll ever buy shoes by myself again. Apparently I was wearing the complete wrong shoes for what I was doing (training for a half). He asked me what kind of exercise I do and what hurts the most. He…

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Yes, I've been going for a year and while I haven't seen as much change as I'd like, I have noticed a definite change in my arms and back as well as my overall arm strength (which is awesome for a 120 5'1 female like me!) But like I said, I have started going twice as much and I also…
