So I started logging my food and really counting calories on Feb 6th. I didn't really workout until beginning of May and was just cardio, and usually burned 200+ but no more than 300 calories. Also, for the most part, I was meeting or close to my BMR of 1221, sometimes even over; even though my goal was 1200. I actually…

LOL, yep, it's pretty useless on those days! :laugh: And you are welcome! [/quote] I've been adding my exercise calories last thing of the day. It's helped me get used to the whole thing. [/quote] Now that I understand the numbers and how to calculate things, I can understand how some people eating at tdee etc, log their…

I usually do, I may skip one or 2 here and there but usually I log all, even spices, even if it is 0 calories, sometimes, there are other things like sodium etc that should be recorded if you care about macros. =)

So that "calories remaining"number is useless during workout days eh? ;p Ty again for the help! you rock :D

Ty ladies, I think I understand now. =) Last thing: So even though my home page shows I have 831 calories remaining, since Goal Food =1700 and food says 1080. Does that mean I really only have 620 calories left to eat today?:huh: Because if I eat those 831 remaining, that would be 1911 calories, higher than my 1700 tdee.…

Ty for replying to my post. =) So then, do I want my "net" or my "food" to be the tdee every day during this reset process? I think the mobile app has "net" so im getting hung up on that word. At the moment what I see on food diary here on the website is Totals 770 Your Daily Goal 1,911 Remaining 1,141 *You've earned 211…

Sorry, Im still confused lol. I know I always want to NET at least my BMR. My question is, during this "reset", do I need to eat my TDEE (1700) on workout days as well? So even if my net is already at BMR, do I keep eating until I hit 1700, everyday? Thank you =)

My connection is crawling ATM so can't browse much but I have a question if someone can kindly help. I am doing the "reset" and eating at Tdee. My question is: do I eat at Tdee everyday, even when I'm working out? I normally would make sure my net meats bmr at least by the end of the day when I work out. So that means…

Well, not "everyone" likes these but some foods I don't like that a lot of others do are: Peanut Butter - I strongly dislike the smell alone Coffee - another yuck Tea - may find one in the future but so far, yuck yuck Celery - while i can eat tiny bits of it in potato salad, I can't stand the smell or taste of the whole…

Since I keep hearing/reading HRM is only useful for aerobics and not lifting... which is the best way to calculate calories burned during a strength training session?

Ugh, I just realized bikini season is a few weeks away, I don't know if it is a good time for me to eat at tdee to do the whole metabolism reset now >_<

Eating at TDEE/Metabolism Reset Start Date - 5/28/2012 How long do you plan to eat at TDEE? At least 6 weeks, but I will need the motivation from friends to stay on track and not get depressed/frustrated by weight gain. :/ I did 1200 for a few months, I increased to 1400 6 days ago and now I decided to go on reset mode.…

Hello, thank you for the reply. =) Saw that, main reason why I started wondering if I was doing this right. ;p I am 5'3" and weigh 120 lbs. Not that small. I am just not that active. I lost 30 lbs changing my eating habits alone without going to the gym at all. I started going to the gym about 1.5-2 months or so. But I…

This is great. My BMR atm is 1220 and my cut is 1450. I was eating 1200 calories, sometimes less (not on purpose though). Now I raised my calorie to 1400, in a couple of weeks, I may rise to my cut, 1450. I also, changed my protein, fat and carbs macro goals. Im excited to be able to eat more, even if it is not as much as…

Few here I havent tried yet, will try to keep in mind next time im grocery shopping. =) Thanks

+1 Sometimes I do worry eating past midnight may not be such a good choice but I rather not go to bed hungry.

I am 5'3" or 5'4" - Yes, sad, I don't know which really. My goal is 115-120 as long as I am toner than now and build some muscle mass. Sad part is my breasts and butt have shrunk as well and that's what I don't like at all about losing all this weight. =(

That is what I am trying to research today, figuring out my BMR etc so I can bump up my calories to maintenance at least. =)

XD funny ;p @niner - seriously? on my tummy. I swear, as soon as i eat, no matter how much/little, my tummy inflates like a balloon. ;p

Thank you everyone for the replies. I am reading more about BMR, TDEE etc. I think 1200 calories is not working out for me, may be too high of a deficit that Ive been doing for months. I believe my BMR is around 1300 and my TDEE for fat burning is around 1800 so I am going to bump up my calories to 1400 for a month and go…

If I did my body weight *10 that would only give me an extra 10 calories from my current 1200. XD

I have the same issue, been stuck on my last 1-2 lbs to my goal. I used to be less strict about calories a few months ago and was losing weight. Maybe I do need to do a bit of calorie cycling or up my calories again a bit (im at 1200). So I feel your pain, but do keep up. Try a few different things like workouts when you…

Does this calculate based on our stats so if you and I use this and say 30 minutes, does it show same cal burn for both of us or is it an individual calculation? I just want to be able to get to 120 so I can start maintaining instead of being in deficit. I used to lose weight every week, even if minimal, not anymore. I did…

Great reminder. I have been told this before a few times but I still feel guilty when I feel I overate. Months ago I would allow myself 1 or 2 days where I would go over my calories no problem, no guilt. This past weekend I went to a wedding and I ate without counting and had a couple of alcoholic drinks... I felt so…

I made thief, ele and necro but ended up just leveling the necro :D I too want them to open sylvari already, really want to check out that race.

I have been scared to try it. I have talked to people who love it and also to people who hated it. I am very self conscious and I also fear for my knees. They have been bothering for a while now and I dont know how much impact they will take from a zumba class. Is it considered a high impact workout? Is there a way to not…

If you are still able to give away some consets or gold or whatever else you can help I will appreciate it :D Send me a message if you are willing. :3
