Ok, breathe. Your post comes across like you're panicking. TDEE vs MFP: The big difference between those two numbers is that MFP is your NET calories (Eaten calories minus Exercise calories) while TDEE is your TOTAL calories (Eaten calories only). If you're working out 6 days a week, you're going to be eating a fair number…

Feel free to add me. I'm 24 SW ~180 (172 when I started MFP) CW 163 GW 145 I do exercise a fair bit (between 3-6 times a week, depending on how busy I get), but I do it mainly for strength and cardio goals and don't track it here. I do TDEE instead and eat about 1600 calories a day.

The idea of 'eating back your calories' is that MFP already provides a significant calorie deficit, even if you do no exercise. So if you have your settings for a 1000 calorie deficit (2lb a week) and burn 400 calories at the gym, you can eat an extra 400 calories and still be at a 1000 calorie deficit. And unless you're…

Healthy weight loss is usually pegged at 1-2 lb a week. Soooo, a fair estimate would be 6 lb in 3 weeks. However, every body is different, every weight loss is different, and there is really no way for us to know over an internet connectino if you'll lose that/more than that/less than that.

Keep in mind that none of us are experts and there's no guaruntee the advice you'll recieve here is better than anywhere else. Generally it's hard to impossible to lose fat and gain a lot of muscle mass at the same time. You might see some gains if you have a lot of extra fat, but if you've still got a low body fat…

How tall are you? What do you weigh now? How much activity do you do?

I typically breathe every three strokes when I'm swimming, but if you're still having trouble there's nothing wrong with breathing every other stroke. The biggest thing to remember is head position when breathing. You want to keep your chin down- so you're almost looking at your hip on the side you're breathing in- instead…

Haha, I am such a slacker compared to y'all. I do pole once per week (hour long class), gymnastics once per week (an hour and a half), and then try to do something active at least twice more in that week. That could mean yoga, going to the gym, going for a run, or heading out for a day of snowboarding. I've really just…

Of course you can count that! All you really need to do is maintain hydration levels, your body doesn't make a distinction between drinking pure water vs getting water from flavoured drinks vs getting it from fruit and vegetables. The only way time you'll get into trouble is you're drinking a lot of fluids with dehydrating…

I do yoga at lunch sometimes. I keep my mat, yoga clothes, dry shampoo, and deodorant under my desk at work, and I don't push myself so hard at that that I'm crazy sweaty after, just nice relaxation/get some blood flowing.

BF and I would go to Jack Astors a couple times a month, I would have their saucy chicken fingers and yam fries, and one or two drinks. I knew it wasn't good for me, but it couldn't be THAT bad, right? Nearly 3000 effing calories in that one meal alone! I'm aiming for 1600 all day now!

Incorrect. Your body thinks it's drowning when you get water in your lungs. If you're getting water in your lungs when you drink, you're doing it WRONG. The danger from drinking too much water is a couple of conditions called water intoxication and/or hyponatremia. In essence, you've drank so much water that you've diluted…

Substituting diet soda for regular soda has been shown to help with short term weight loss. In that sense, you're in the clear! However, long term studies tend to show that drinking diet sodas are correlated with increased BMI over non-drinkers - even given that diet soda drinkers had a LOWER caloric intake than…
