So I am just into my second week on the 21 day Fix. I am just a regular person, not a coach...I am a beginner. These exercises seam fairly easy but they do really make you sweat!!! My body was quite sore the first week. The containers are not just pretty colours. They are like measuring cups, colour coded for each food…

How do you figure out how many calories to eat per day? I have looked at a whole bunch of TDEE calculators and I am so confused. I have also used the spreadsheet on from one group. I am so lost I have been doing TDEE for about 3 months and I have only lost 3 pounds, however I have gone down 10.25 inches. I know the inches…

bump to read later

So what ever cut calorie amount I chose I need to stick it out for at least 3 weeks? I just get nervouse that I have chosen the wrong numbers lol. One site that I went on actually broke it down into single times so 4 times per week would be BMR x 1.42. that gave me a 20 % cut of 1760, which is the amount I started out…

Just had a question for all who has been doing this for a while. I just started doing TDEE -20% last week. I am wondering how long it will be before I start to see changes in the scale? I am 34, female, 63 inches, 193 lbs. I work out on an elliptical for about 30-40 minutes 3 - 4 times per week as well as do some kettle…

really I'm only down .8 from the weight I started doing the 20% cut from. which is not that much

Maybe I need a hand calculating my correct TDEE? I am just worried that I may not be doing this right? Female CW 192.6 hight 63 inches age 34 activity I work 40 hours a week, more than half I sit at a desk, I do wonder around on the floor, not at any amount of pace though. I have two kids at home. ages 5 and 8. I work out…

1702 from 2148 for a 20% decrease is 426 calories less which includes my exercise. Should I make my activity level higher? or not take so much of a cut? What would you suggest? I had originally did my calculations with multiplying my exercise by 1.42, which on one site you could put how many days you worked out and the…

Next question.... Should I put my activity level in between lightly active at 1.375 and moderate active at 1.55? This is what I did for the first week I took 1548 x 1.42 and my TDEE was 2198. Then a 20% cut was 1760. I just changed it to the lower activity level of 1.375 yesterday. I guess it really doesn't make that much…

So I definatly have more than 40 pounds to lose, my CW is 192.4. I am 34 years old and 5' 4". I would like to be around 130lbs. So do I stay at the 20% cut until I only have 40 pounds to lose and then switch to 15%? I haven't really been doing the LCD for any length of time, on and off for a few years, more off than on…

So I used mifflin on scooby workshop to get my TDEE. This website actually has two different calculators. one uses Harris B and the other is Mifflin, which they say is way more accurate. I had my "diet" set up since I had my daughter, however I could never stick to it. I would start following if for a few days then go off…

Do you have to do a reset? I have been "trying" to get rid of this excess weight for a few years. I would try doing the LCD but I could NEVER stick to them... too little food for me lol. Now I have decided to just dive into a 20% cut. I have only done 1 week and I am maintaining my weight within .6 of a pound. my BMR is…

I just started doing my TDEE - 20%. I have been at a stand still with my weight since the initial loss of weight after having my daughter in 2008!!! :noway: I did a lot of reading up on this topic and decided to take the plunge. I didn't do a reset, that was just to scary to me, however only 1 week into my 20% cut I have…

I just started this journey at the start of last week. I was really hoping that I wouldn't go up any weight initially, however the scale moved up just over 1 pound. I know this is to be expected, however it is still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that eating more (healthy food) will make me lose weight. I was…

So I have been doing a lot of research on this whole TDEE -20%. I am very very scared to do this because as all other that have been on diets for most of their adult life, it is ingrained in my mind that I must eat less to weigh less. However, I could never understand why thin people could eat so much and I was eating like…

When you were loosing weight did you eat your exercise calories back as well as follow the amount of food intake that mfp set for you? So when you get to maintance you actually have to eat more food just to maintain instead of loosing?
