It seems like your weight loss is right on track at 1.5lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. If you are still feeling tired, maybe try eating 100% of your exercise calories (it looks like you are maybe only eating a portion that is taking you to 13/1400?) It may slow weight loss, or if you are less tired, you may have more energy to walk…

And even on a track if you are putting in a lot of time, you should switch up your direction because running in one direction can mess with your form. Same thing on roads/sidewalks, if they are canted you want to make sure you switch it up some. I'm another vote for trails!! Followed by outdoors in general, treadmills as a…

Thread title...Learning to eat clean , Tips She kinda did??

If you set your information to lose 1lb per week, your 2000 will already include that 500/day calorie deficit.

VintageFeline is correct, use your real world data and adjust. I posted this earlier this week on another thread... I have used my actual data. (1) Sum up the last 28 days of your calorie totals. (2) Pounds lost in those 28 days *3500. Add those 2 numbers together and divide by 28. That will be a real value of what your…

My sister has RA and she read a lot of books that suggested a gluten free diet. She mostly eats Paleo and had gotten off of all medication. Her last flare up was after eating Halloween candy that she later realized had gluten. I never recommend gluten free as a diet because my husband is celiac and I know how hard it is…

Lay's are my go to snack after my Long Run on Sundays. The best of everything! Sodium (80s here in texas, need lots of salt when running) and Potassium!! Followed shortly by some type a protein. They make me happy which has to help my hormones, not stress me out which is bad for my hormones. I love a salad too. I make room…

That will be a real value of what your TDEE is. I find mine comes in higher than the estimates and usually a little lower than my garmin # eta: pounds lost…

I've heard .8 - 1 per lb of Lean Body Mass. That is what I use.

Sometimes weighing only once a week can be deceiving. You can catch a high day!! I weigh daily and track in Libra, a weight trending app. I like daily weighing because it really shows you how much you can fluctuate up and down. If I weighed only once a week and caught a really high day, I could see how it would be…
-
That is what being short does :) I'm 5' 2" and started at 168 and I average about 1600/week. It's because of my activity level. Make sure you eat back your exercise calories (or at least a good portion of them depending on how they are calculated). That makes life much better! ETA: I've been losing about 1lb/week at this…
-
I sometimes do this too if I'm using the app. Another way is to edit the item when using the website. View the nutrition information and then say "No" where it asks if it is correct. Edit and put grams (1/2 cup (40g) for example) in the serving size and save. This makes it easier for the next user to see both measurements…

I don't think people are trying to prove you wrong by looking at your diary, but trying to find entries (which are very often incorrect) that you may be using and can change. I've seen people post often that they found an error down the road that they were using an incorrect entry that erased 250 cals from their deficit…

This past week was my diet break. I've been averaging 1lb/week loss but want to experiment with diet breaks every few months. I still managed to lose a lb this week so I'm expecting next week will catch up and I'll stay about even. Today's long run (trail) felt really strong. I am going back into a deficit this week…
-
No, it looks like the fitbit adjustment where it estimates your entire day using calories burned at your last sync and compares to mfp daily calories and gives an adjustment. It's just crazy high!
-
I saw this thread mentioned yesterday in another thread but didn't have time to read it. Since it was bumped today, I decided to give it a read. OMG....hilarious and terrifying at the same time. I remember contemplating this several years ago and am so glad I decided not to!
-
My husband and I both have the same garmin and normal days seem fine but active look like yours. We both are doing TDEE that includes our activity level and ignoring the garmin input. My husband is 6' 4" and started at 245 and 2600 calories. He has been super busy at work and more sedentary and dropped it to 2100…

Look at the fat 2 fit calculator. It calculates your TDEE based on your goal weight. I will say that they also suggest for faster weight-loss you can subtract 200-300 calories. Look at all the numbers and see what makes the most sense for you. You may find your answer changes from time to time. I personally like the TDEE…
-
Did you set a 2lb a week goal? You may find that too aggressive since you have < 50lbs to lose. If you find yourself over tired or really hungry think about a 1lb a week loss and make sure you eat back 50-75% of your exercise calories! I am 5' 2" 154lbs and average 1700ish (follow tdee so calories are gross not net) and…
-
Yep, they are allowed to be off by as much as 20%. Multiple times in a day and you can see how much it can add up!!
-
Also, are you weighing everything? I eat quest bars and I've rarely had one that actually weighed the 60g on the package. Most are 64 to 67g. Same with the english muffins. Mine are 55g each and usually weigh in around 65.

The sodium from eating out, TOM depending on where you are on your cycle, the intensity of your workouts, all of this and many more reasons could cause water retention that is masking weight loss. Keep doing what you are doing and just be prepared that weight loss is like this...up, down, even. As long as you know you are…
-
My sister travels with those small Mio drops for just this reason!
-
I completely agree with this. It's hard enough to get the nutrition in on a 1200 calorie diet (the minimum recommended) and I don't see it being made up for on the weekend.

I like egg whites. I do 1 full egg and 2 egg whites.

I have a daughter with Down Syndrome and thyroid issues and I think it is harder but not impossible. I see my 2 other daughters eat the same if not more food and they are both so much thinner, but they also move a lot more. We struggle keeping her active and that seems to be the key. I will say that between the last 2 dr…

Eating more calories than your body burns is why you have gained, not carbs. Eat enough to fuel your body, keep a deficit and you will lose weight.
-
I watched this a couple of months ago and then binge watched a ton of other episodes. He is awesome!!
-
Weight loss is not linear. Some weeks will be down, others the same and yet others up. Your TOM, food in system, sodium intake all affect water levels. Be patient!! Good luck.
-
Don't wait!! You won't gain any muscle while eating in a deficit, but you will retain the muscle you have and it will give your body a better look while you are losing!!! ETA **will retain more of the muscle you have (not all!)
