How do you know all of that isn't just from your weight loss in general?

I did my workout this morning, and I feel fine. I just ate "brunch" of an egg white omelet with onion and cilantro, and a piece of toast with a pat of butter. 155 calories total and I do feel like I've eaten enough so far today. I'm also not doing my 500 calorie days consecutively. My 2nd 500 day will be a non-workout day.…

I do moderate exercise 4x a week, so based on that, Fast Diet said 1973, Scooby said it was 2340. MFP says my maintenance is 1930.

I used 2 different TDEE Calculators, scooby site said 1972 and the fast diet TDEE said 1768. Both figured WITHOUT exercise (Sedentary). How can they be 200 different? I guess I'll stick with 1900

Thanks! I didn't think I was supposed to eat them back, but wanted to make sure. The 2000 comes from the book/website on the subject.

My doctor just prescribed this for me, I'll be on it 2 weeks, then go back for a weight check to see if I continue. I lost 20 lbs since June doing zumba 3-4 times a week and calorie counting (1300-1400 a day net average) but I told him I've now not lost anything for over 2 months so he put me on this to see if it would…

Joe's jeans "the honey" fit always worked for me. They can be pricey but secondhand on ebay or some of the designer secondhand clothing sites have reasonable prices, as do Nordstrom Rack and sometimes they have them at Marshall's.

I always thought I could put some stock in the bone structure wrist test, although I've never seen an actual chart. I'm 5'2 with 6.5 inch wrists, and even when I wasn't overweight (back on MFP need to lose about 40 lbs) I always thought I had HUGE knees as far as the bones were concerned. So according to this I'm large…

I merely posted the article and said I agreed, I didn't think I needed to go through line by line and explain myself. Gross wouldn't have been the word I would have used but I didn't write the piece. I'd just have said "No thanks" if it were up to me. But it wasn't just the picture it was the whole thing. I didn't insult…

Another question is why is it that anyone that disagrees with the author insisting they are "Just Jealous" or as others have inferred, I'm "Jealous" of the muscle woman because I don't think it's attractive. I don't go around calling people "Jealous" just because they think my job is boring, I don't call people jealous…

Well quite possibly her and my and many other's instagram feeds have friends on it who do this, I had 2 friends of mine argue in a 50 post thread on my FB page why chicken was or was not going to kill you (Vegetarian vs Personal Trainer) and my Personal Trainer friend almost never posts anything about their food, workouts,…

Well when I came back and read a lot of people were personally attacking ME..and calling ME names for merely posting it and saying I agreed with alot of it..

I never said people here...this is about the Tumblr/Instagram/Twitter/FB "fitness CULTure" that half of it is a bunch of posers.

Why are people so butt hurt about EVERYTHING! This was not an attack on healthy living it was a funny/sarcastic article showing the weird cult things that are coming out of it. The fact you #fitfam people are so upset about this really shows some colors. The whole point was, "be healthy and ****, don't be a *kitten* about…

Damn all I try to do was get a post going and see what people's thoughts were. I do agree with lots of it maybe because I'm not someone who wants to call attention to every thing I do either and look for praise and validation from others constantly. Quietly doing my thing. And no im not "JELLY" because I would NOT want to…

I'm not "btching" about the fitness culture..or if you are on Instagram or twitter sometimes it's a fake fitness culture the same person that complains about spending their entire Sunday at the gym and making the same grilled chicken and asparagus for the week and missing out on a family function or something fun because…

..

It's an awesome program, I did levels 1 and 2 religiously as a workout for a few months..it did wonders for me after only 2 weeks, lost 3 inches and 10 lbs in a month...but then stopped due to moving cross country, preparing , etc and I totally flabbed up again so will be starting again this week.

My elastic waist leggings i use for Zumba wouldn't stay up where they should, they kept falling below my belly and I'd have to stop and pull them back up :-)

Thanks so much for all the advice, I think I'll get some professional advice on shoes and see a podiatrist. It's definitely not because I'm doing too much for my fitness level as I've been at this now for about a year and a half and it's always hurt but I just now decided to mention it. I love my Zumba classes and would…

Been doing it for 20 days now, I do 3 on, 1 off and it's definitely made a difference in how I look. Not sure about weight though because I'm on a long trip overseas and don't have a scale. I did it the first day I got here to see if anyone will notice a difference when I get home on day 25. Now is anyone here doing any…

Worked for me about the first month or so...then it slowed and I plateaued..and got discouraged :-(

San Antonio, Texas.

I actually started it 12 days ago, I skipped 2 days at rest days so I'm going to start level 2 today. I've done Zumba for over a year now and a couple of other mixed strength classes here and there but started this to try to get over this 8 month plateau. So..after 12 days I have not weighed myself as I'm actually on a…

Dear 16 year old me, EMBRACE the fact that you have some extra boo-tay, it will be the "in" thing when you're in you 20's and people will admire it and pay money to get one Don't go back to the Senior year college boyfriend that you hook up with Junior year, he'll just waste your time senior year and you'll regret it. Go…

Trying to lose 5 lbs before the Daytona 500 :-D that's Feb 24. LOLOL. I know you weren't talking about car races, but still. I DO wanna look as cute as possible walking around the pits.

You are GORGEOUS!! OMG! When you are ready, I think you'll have the guys chasing you down, that hair is amazing!

I'd say maybe a 6 oz steak, veggies or eat half a baked potato, salad with dressing of your choice on the side and have half of a roll and the cinammon butter. Cut some 200 calories the day before and the day after so you can really enjoy yourself if you want to. Maybe an extra 15 minutes working out will give you 100 more…

I like that I feel like I have a whole new wardrobe because I can get into clothes I have not worn in 3-4 years!

I'm in one now! Size Medium Jones New York!
