Same boat... About a 34lbs increase... Basically took my pause in December. :-( not happy with the result. Time to get crackalackin!

For what it's worth, recently had my body fat % checked using one of those hand held thingies. Certainly not the most accurate, but it showed me going from 23.3 to 18.7 over the span of a few months :-) that's the same way I got the 23.3 number. I've adjust to 2200 pretty well, although there have been a few days after…

So I was looking at my net cals vs gross and my HRM, and that 2200 number seems awfully low. The 1750 number is net. So, at 2200 we are talking just shy of every work out running about 500 calories. On my lifting days (1 hour) I aim for at least 250 calories burned in after lifting cardio. On my cardio days anything shy of…

See this is exactly what I've been pondering. As great as my trainer has been with showing me form and the work outs, he isn't a nutritionalist and I appreciate that he doesn't pretend to be one. I can decrease body fat % in 2 ways right? Lose the fat or gain muscle. Losing just fat isn't gonna give me the body I want. I…

I appreciate your response. I lost 65-70 lbs by doing pretty much only cardio. Mainly running. I enlisted a trainer to show me the ropes of lifting and help me create a routine. I specifically asked him about the cardio and muscle loss, his response was unless I planned on being a pro bodybuilder(I don't lol), any muscle…

I had a vacation and a wedding in august so I ended up quick adding. When I returned from it and let the water weight get back to normal I was within .5 of my pre vacation weight. The MFP goal is net and that's what I've been doing. Eating back calories burned from cardio. To be clear the tdee method is a straight number…

Opened. I get that the beers don't help but if it fits! :-)

This is kinda what I was thinking I'd hear. Would you just up it right to 2k? Or move 100 a week? I'm not overly worried about the scale going up while my body sorts it out, cause I started at 270 lbs a year and a half ago!!! I know I can correct it :-) That protein % scares me... I've tried hitting 30% daily for a bit and…

I do use a food scale, although I've had to do quick adds for some recent vacations. I thought my diary was open, let me check it and open it.

Your profile is set to private, but I'd be open to reading that thread, what's the title?

I'm working hard to hit the MFP protein goal. Protein shakes x2 day are on the horizon and various rewards for hitting goal. Take a peek at my diary, and let me know if I'm still short if you get a chance. Thanks for the reply!
-
:-) solid encouragement!!! Thanks for the response! I fear I didn't have much muscle to save before i started losing weight, but I can clearly see this is the next evolution to my fitness/health mission!
-
I am right here with you. I've dropped 70lbs (currently 195lbs) and am about 10lbs from my ultimate goal weight. I feel a bit guilty when I start to look at moving to maintenance calories instead of continuing the cut. Almost like I'm failing.... But the thing is, I want to grow some muscle. I want to work on my core. I've…

Fantastic work man! I love that the last pic has you wearing your fitbit :-) +1000 for him!!!
-
I've got a ft4 as well. Although if accuracy is you goal, you may want to look at the advanced models. Something that allows you to add you vo2 maxx rate. Maybe a bit pricey but that's my next HRM computer. :-) there are a few threads about it here.

My rule is to pre plan my drinks and to workout to burn the cals prior. 4 mic ultras and 1 double makers mark = 518 calories. There is my motivation to hit the 5k hard. I wanna play? I gotta pay. Also, try drinking a glass of water after each drink. That will slow down the calorie intake a bit. No advice for the bar…
