  • I finally got a chance to sit and go through the info on TDEE. That is some good GOOD stuff! Excellent sources too. Thank you! Looking at the actual definition of a calorie in that post, even though it may sound ridiculous, was extremely helpful to my psyche. (If I can use that word) I was also grateful for the hormone…
  • My strength training so far has only consisted of pilates, which I found out tonight when trying to plug it in.... doesn't count as "strength training" :( I'd like to expand this part of my routine and get some good ideas. I do not own a food scale. My "food scale" is 12 oz pack of chicken with 3 pieces, well, this is…
  • How long do you run to burn that many calories? My knees are pretty terrible so I've taken to the woods hiking instead. Well... and Zumba. :) I'd like to run but it's more high impact than I would like, I guess. Maybe I am just a sloppy runner. To be honest, I haven't been on a regular running routine since high school…
  • I guess I should post more clearly.... sometimes I log my lunches as snacks, because it's not an actual "meal" just a bunch of portioned out snack material spanning an hour or two midday... But Thanks....I will log those as lunch from now on as not to confuse those offering help.
  • This was very very helpful, thank you. Especially to know you've experienced much success eating higher calorie amounts. I've been exercising 6 days a week, 1-2 times a day, 40+ minutes each time for about a month, and have seen ZERO results.... (my ticker says 1 pound, but I am pretty sure I can thank water weight for…
  • Good information, Thank you! I am sure I will come back to it. I've been on the fence about taking measurements, but I am thinking it's something that might be beneficial since I've been using the "how crabby I feel after I put my jeans on" method... which doesn't take into account other "successes" that might be going on…
  • Not with an HRM, only the MFP calculator, which I have read on the forum is notoriously high. Because of that, I've been cutting those "burned"calories in half, and then attempting to eat some of that half back.
  • Yes, it was actual walking, not work stuff. . Well, Hiking, but I read MFP calculates high when it comes to burning calories so I just put in walking instead of hiking. Should I put in less than my actual exercise time when it comes to zumba so that It doesn't calculate high? I've just been cutting the amount of burned…
  • You look FANTASTIC! Great job!
  • Huge accomplishment! I was at A&W because dad wanted to take the grandkids for his favorite grub. I sat there the whole time watching everyone chow on their deliciousness..... I know exactly how you're feeling! :D
  • ^^^ I know, right!? Great job!
  • Great job! I think we share the same goals, as for where we are with numbers. Thanks for the thinspiration! ;)
  • Thank you so much!

  • Hello friends! I joined the main forum and my intro post included my issue with my thyroid. So I thought I would post here! I went through a 3 month period of weight loss, of about 30 lbs. No exercise. Eating whatever I wanted, and the weight seemed to keep falling off. It got to a point where I was going to go into the…
