Ok awesome! So just to be clear I'm lowering calories to 2100? Along with the reducing carbs by 25 as you stated. I will get back to you as soon as I can with my exercise numbers . Thanks again!

I weighed myself agin today and I'm at 227 still

It's ok. I weighed myself today actually and I went up a pound so I'm at 228.

Bump

Hi there! It's been about 2 weeks and a couple days so I wanted to come back with a report as you asked. As of yesterday 1/29 I weighed in at 227. I stuck with the 2,200 calorie you told me to set and also maintained staying as close as possible to the macros you told me to meet. When we last spoke I was at 231 so I've…

Awesome! That's what I needed to know. I will be back in about 2 weeks with some updates!

Ok great I'll get right to it. One question I do have ... Using TDEE on MFP I was told not to log my exercises as it can mess up the macros or something to that effect. I was told if I wanted to I can just keep my exercises in my notes, is this correct? Just needed clarification in this.

Great!

this is how my progress followed leading up to 12/20: 10/08 241 lbs 10/22 237 lbs 11/6 236 lbs 11/20 234 lbs 12/3 234 lbs 12/6 231 lbs 12/19 231 lbs 12/20 229 lbs Starting 12/21 is when I upped my calorie intake to 2200. Now it probably wasnt the best time considering those 2 weeks following were the holidays. Most of the…

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to get back but here it goes... - 28/male/5'9/232 lbs don't know my body fat - current calorie intake is 2,220 and I'm usually just about 5-10 calories off my goal daily - current gross intake of carbs are anywhere from 200-250g, fat around 55-75g, and protein usually around 150-180g - I just…

Ok great. Thank you everyone for your input. Feel free to add me if anyone wants! Any and all input/motivation I will appreciate!

So no matter how many cakories I burned I just put 1. So should I even bother logging my exercise?

Thanks everyone!! Now i just need clarification on logging exercise. So for example of I do elliptical and burn 400 calories and everyone says to log it as 1. Do you mean 1.400??

Ok great! So now let me ask....when I work out do I eat back all of my calories I burned off to get back to the 2410, or do I only eat some of it back or none? This is where I get confused.

I'm 28, 5'9, 231 lbs. I set my goal weight as 185lbs. Now what I'm trying to figure out is if I did it all correctly it said my BMR is 2191. I exercise minimum of 3 days a week and max of 5, so I chose the lightly active factor which was 1.375. So 2191 x 1.375 = 3012. So by what I'm reading if I want to lose weight, from…

Aurora area here! Feel free to add me!

Aurora here! Everyone feel free to add me! Can never have enough motivators!

Thank you both. I feel like by the time it gets to Thursday or Friday I'm burned out of "dieting" and I just want the fattiest foods. That seems to be where my problem lies.
