It wasn't the trainer. It was the consultant who was supposedly the "expert" in nutrition. Not.

My trainer is great but you are right, this "nutritionist" is following a script.

I just did one on Sunday. I was one of the oldest people on the course. If you don't care about time, you can walk the entire way without a problem. I did. I concentrated on training for the obstacles and getting my strength up. I went around to parks in my area and climbed over all the equipment to get used to pulling…

Wow, that's just above and beyond. Thanks!

There is a group on here Eat More to Weigh Less. They have a bunch of articles pinned at the top that you may find very useful.

I'm having the same problem. Pounds going up, inches not being lost.

Kiki - what newsfeed?

Well, yes and no. I got a flirting message. However, they were really looking for the skinny gorgeous gal who is standing with me in one of my profile pics and they actually confused me with the "lucky guy" standing next to her. When I pointed out that I was actually female, they told me it was my fault, I needed a better…

Her original post says she does exercise 5-6 times per week so that TDEE cut value is probably too low still.

Lucia, what brand of MSM do you use?

That I'll try nearly anything once.

Check out the what do you eat thread for some good suggestions.

Something has gone wrong there. Your BMR can't be above your TDEE. Use these calculators. http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html This is for TDEE and you can find BMR in the side menu.

You should not eat below your BMR. You will lose lean muscle instead of fat. If you eat between your TDEE and your BMR you will lose weight. It may be slower than you like but you will be healthy.

If your BMR is 1600, eating 1300 is eating less than you need to actually run your body if you didn't get out of bed in the morning. At least net your BMR to avoid problems down the road.

I agree, this playground is much more helpful and friendly. Too many trolls under the bridge at the other one.

Jac264 you look very sweet.

Background information: I carry my weight in my belly and normally I see NO change it in when I look but I did suspect it was getting a little smaller. I wear an underarmor type spandex shirt under my workout clothes when I workout outside right now because of the temperature. I'm currently getting ready for a Spartan…

I've had the opposite experience. I got a HRM and found out that MFP was grossly underestimating the calories burned for me - probably because I was larger and not in as good a shape as the "average" they use. The counts on MFP can't be all things to all people. I've also discovered that since losing weight and getting in…

Then, if the OP is correct, you run the risk of having the problems associated with not eating them back such as plateauing or lowered metabolism. A spoonful of peanut butter is not overly filling but goes a long way to getting back some of those calories.

I've upped my calories recently and generally eat back my exercise calories. I eat pretty clean, very little processed foods or sugars. I found that the easiest way to up my calories without feeling stuffed is to sneak in some extra "good fats" - one extra tsp of olive oil on the salad, some avocado and I use a tsp of…

Thanks!

If you burn below your BMR, you have to eat back enough to at least net your BMR.

If your hair is falling out, there is something wrong with your diet that supplements probably won't fix. Are you eating enough calories?
