Thanks everyone... I didn't do any exercise yesterday so that must be what it means. I don't get though how it's not picking up the info I inputted originally, even if I go by tdee. 1550 by mfp standards still is a deficit. They need to get rid of that!

from the various calculators suggested here. :) I am really good about weighing food and using actual measurements. It's rare that I guess. Sometimes I don't even bother with a food if I don't know how I would measure it. lol. I will go up 150-200 calories a day and give it a month or so. I was just looking to get some…

please? I just need a tweak!

didn't read all the responses but I would say you won't ever get to that many shots because you'll be passed out on the floor. Or with your head in the toilet from alcohol poisoning. Half that and fun times will be had!

anyone?

You guys are MONSTERS I tell you! lol I am good at logging for a bit and then I have a bad eating day and I fall off my wagon. Then it takes me forever to get back on it. No wonder I'm stalled.

I would bet one million dollars she can smell herself and doesn't need to be told by someone. Especially if she doesn't smell before going into the class. It's been said over and over again, this is not a deodorant fail. It's not just her armpits, it's her body odour during physical activity. If the OP talks to her about…

This is good. I would hate to shame her to feel like she can't come to class anymore. If you were allergic to her perfume or something, that would be different. You are not. And she can't help how she smells when working out intensely. It's only an hour. I'm in the 'suck it up' camp.

I was responding to the one poster, I just forgot to quote. Everyone else has been helpful.

oh dear me. My apologies for not expressing all the other things I do within a TWENTY-FOUR HOUR period. I also cook, clean, change diapers, chase kids, dance with the kids, do bath and bedtime routine, put the garbage out, clean the dishes/kitchen, a multitude of other chores and activities. Now will you provide me some…

May 3: 140.2 lbs May 10: 140.0 lbs May 17: 138.8 lbs May 24: May 31: Finally, the scale is budging! :)

thanks!

ham and pineapple pizza is my fave. (I'm Canadian!) pineapple in any form is delish!

mmmm yummy cold snot. How would you know, nose picker-er and eater?

well this is interesting.

Good point. It could easily draw in someone that doesn't know better.

Don't you get all math-y on me! It's not my strong suit! lolol.

Would love to hear your list of easy portable snacks. I feel like I'm already doing a lot of them but would love more options!

I laughed right out loud.

well since it's recommended we look at our eating over the period of a week, rather than each day, that would definitely make more sense!

I put a cup of cottage cheese in the container for work and 1/4 cup of mango puree in another container. I'm through the mango puree and still have about a 1/3 of a cup of cottage cheese left. But I'm actually really full already. I can't believe how filling this is!

I'm laughing at 'feel' too, but even more so that you highlighted it and wrote "coping" instead of copping. That poor apple, can't cope.

I do greek yogurt every morning. :) I guess I could have it twice a day!

When I first got here and tried to read various posts, it was SO overwhelming. Thankfully I read just enough not to get thrown into the 1200 calories flame-a-rama. Full disclosure, I did start at 1200 calories. But I learned from the smart people on here.

Easy, portable, healthy, don't need to cook. It's for those days I don't have time to do better for myself when I'm on the run (pretty much 5/7 days a week). I want to keep on track. And really, I've only ever had it plain on crackers before and had to choke it down. With the mango puree, it's a little better than…

Great minds... great minds. Thanks!

Okay, I found something I can eat. I pureed some frozen mango and I am eating it with my 1% cottage cheese. It's a little better than tolerable. I am going to try mashing a banana next. I will try other ideas as well that have been posted. Thanks for all the suggestions! I know there are many options for eating protein but…

So, with the OP's question in mind. At what point do you re-evaluate your BMR/TDEE and adjust to figure out the appropriate number of calories for a deficit (albeit a smaller deficit)? I only have 14 lbs to go to my current goal, so I assume I won't be adjusting, but if I had 40 lbs to go....?

I find no matter what exercise I do, I get bored after awhile so I rotate through classes, weight training, cardio, etc. I don't hate any one specific exercise (okay, maybe burpees) so I'm really good to try new things. I have adjusted my macros - if you want to have a look at them and let me know if those look better?…

Much appreciated! I assume 3:1 would be 90 seconds to 30 seconds of rest. (I'm not just a hat rack!... lol)
