bump?

I got a fitbit and i ate at 2200 which was my average burn (took a week and divded by 7). About 2 months ago, started eating 2000. I think its not that I am eating above TDEE but my metabolism is ruined from my years of dieting. You are absolutely right. more gain at first and slower later on so must have increased my…

I plateaued for a year and have recently decided to try to change that and increased my caloires. After about 8 months of eating 500/cal a day (my TDEE), i gained about 22 lbs. so I went from 145 to 167lbs. I Crossfit, and do not do hard cardio after heavy lifting. thanks for your advice!

Thank you ladies! trying not to get frustrated. :)

I have the exact same question!!! I come from a restrictive dieting past, but for the past 2 years have been eating a balanced diet without any binges. My crossfit coach keeps telling me to go paleo, but i don't know if i should do it. I don't think i would have a problem with it (besides the fact that i love my rice and…

Thanks for all your replies and knocking some sense into me :). I will keep working hard and hopefully shedding some fat will reduce the size of my thighs and just get fit overall! HUGS TO EVERYONE!

I Love Crossfit and started it over a year ago in hope of being building muscle, losing fat, and getting toned. I can't really control how my muscles look or are built I guess i want this and don't mind looking like this http://www.flixya.com/photo/1393810/muscular-women But when someone says muscular, I imagine this...I…

Thanks everyone. The MFP Community is great and I LOVE YOU ALL! I am praying to God that it is this added fat from eating more and it will go down when i cut my calorie #s in a few weeks. I went from eating 1500 to eating 2200 calories a day. In a few weeks, I will cut to 2000 and hopfully will lose some fat and the weight…

LOOOOVE THE PIN! not at 8 weeks, only 7 more to go! woo hooo!

bummping!

no worries! i half assed a reset meaning i ate at tdee-15% for for 2.5 months, gained 7 lbs. So i decided what the heck and have been eating at tdee for about a week now. my stomach is way bloated, and if i had to get on the scale, it would probably be around a total gain of 12-14 lbs so no worries! i hope to be in your…

Yumm! Thank you everyone! must go try some of these this weekend!!!

bump!!! making this weekend!

I went on my first VLCD when i was 15. of course my weight loss lasted but 2 years and i gained everything back and more. When I was 19, I went to the ER after 2 days of intense stomach pain and I had my gallbladder removed. So yes, VLCD are not good for your health. I had a MILLLLLLLLLLION other problems during those 2…

SEriously all about rhythm. Also, hold the handles by the end and flick your wrist down in a fast motion. It is a lot of fast wrist+rhythm+jumping a little hire than singles. Also, the rogue fitness speed bearing rope is AWESOME! i went from 10 in a row to 47 unbroken ones!

Do you think i should do a full reset, knowing htat I am up 7lbs when upping from 1500-1800 for about 2 months, and not knowing if it has stabilized there? I know this is the hardest thing but I just want reassruance that this will work as in my weight might even go up 12 lbs total, but i will lose that and more... I am…

@jyska im in the same boat as you. 8 weeks of eating more from 1500--> 1800 netting bmr. The first time I weighed myself was 2 weeks into eating more and I had gained 2 lbs. The next time I weighed myself was week 8 and I am up 7 lbs. I don't know if i have stabilized or not! I think i will weigh myself next week to see…

@medoula I am so with you it took me a year to lose 10 lbs and i might have gained it back in these past 1.5 months but I am refusing to get on the scale until I hit 10 weeks or maybe a bit longer...mid june is official weigh in date, but i might do a progress check end of may, no judgement attached to see where I am at! I…

loving all the ideas!

@ stazed i don't run but i do crosstraining throughout the week with short distance running added in (I do these workout about 4-5 times a week). After my 10K i felt great! My time was 1:15 without training and lots of walking. I could have walked less but my friend kept stopping and I was there to motivate her every step!…

i checked the site and puts me at 2300 calories! holy smokes! ive been eating at 1500/1600 which is about 700 claories below the estimated calorie level for maintenance! i thougt my mainteance was 1500 since i havent gained anything for a year...maybe this is why im not losing either! so this factors in exercise caloires…

thanks @ toriaenator! i think ive been eating below what i need to. ive read so many posts lately about tdee and im still trying to understand bmr, how much to eat, how to factor in exercise and what not. im debating whether i should 1)get bmr tested 2) get fitbit or bmf (not sure what is best) 3) save some $ and not do 1)…

i wish there was a way to break out of my weight plateau (around 145 for a year now!) and lose this fat on my trouble spots! any advice on certain lifestyle changes whether it be food/exercise? i dont believe in cutting a food group out but limiting certain food groups is fine :D. i think i need to find easy go to meals…
