Here's a further example: If I did nothing - sedentary desk job, my stats would be (according to IIFYM): BMR: 1382 TDEE: 1659 That means if I did nothing at all, I'd need an additional ~300 calories a day to maintain and sit there. When I exercise (20 minutes of walking a day right now while I'm recouping from a knee…

Updated results from IIFYM w/ new body fat %: Your BMR is: 1382 Calories/Day Your TDEE is: 2263 Calories/Day (for exercising every day - but does 20 minutes of walking count?)

Age: 31 Height: 5'4" Weight: 168 lbs Neck: 14.3" Waist (smallest): 34" Waist (bellybutton): 39.5" Hips: 43.5" Chest: 42" According to F2F: body fat - 39.1% (I did it wrong yesterday - I read too quickly and used my navel measurement instead of my smallest measurement) So, new stats - using their BMR calculator with the…

Sigh - more confusion. Calculator here (http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/) gives same BMR: 1283. Gives TDEE as 2100. 20% cut would be 1680 So how do I log that in MFP so I can still count my exercise cals? Should I be trying to do 1680 consumption no matter what my exercise is? I only usually burn 120-150 cals a day at my…

Yeah, but if the 2124 is based off of the less-accurate 1500+ BMR as I listed above, then it's still wrong. Also, it's at maintenance levels.

Thanks, Mokey. I figured that was the case. Guess I'm at maintenance for today - I'll fix it for tomorrow.

UGH. I obviously meant "Fat 2 Fit". I put in my *current* weight in both areas so I could figure out my TDEE (and my deficit) on my own. I'm just confused as to which BMR to use to start those calculations.

Bump because this makes sense now - if I don't exercise, it's still supposed to equal out over the week, and then I should be adjusting as I get fitter. Right? :\

Or just eat half the food and take the rest home - that's what I've been doing lately; I don't eat full-size portions of anything when we go out to eat.

Week 2 Goal: 168 Week 2 Actual: 168.5 I call that a win. :)

Slave Leia is on my list too. I'm right there with you. :)

Get the coverup of my armband tattoo that I've wanted for years. :) That's my first reward.

Belated answer: yup, I <3 the evil. :)

In 3 months, I'll be below 150 and working out 3 days a week at least. GOAL: MADE.

<3 this thread. It's also reminding me when I take my next set of progress photos, I need to take back & face pics too.

Definitely drink a lot of water. Yesterday I was at 171 because the day before I had tons of sodium-rich food. I definitely didn't lose 2 actual pounds in a day - all water! I drank like 10 glasses and was under my calorie goal by 70 or something. Try water for a few days on top of your calorie goals and see where it's at…

Week 1 Goal: 170 Week 1 Actual: 169 WOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Cosplay. :\

OK, you guys are the awesomest. Thanks for all the compliments! I will definitely look into the resources you sent me; keep an eye out for updates. My boyfriend does the Zombie Run app, I haven't gotten past the first introductory bit because I hurt my knee right after I found the app. So maybe when I'm actually running…

That's funny, I've got my tickets too and I hope to be in shape enough to pull of T'Pol. :) Unless I grow my hair out between now and then. We'll see.

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone! I think my weapon of choice in the Zombiepocalypse will be a crossbow. :D

I think I look thinner than I am because people look at me from the front, where I tuck in at the waist quite a bit, so I basically just look pleasantly curvy. But then you look from the side, and the belly is obvious. I did get the opposite, but only once so far. One of my students rubbed my stomach last spring semester…

I'm in too! Wed 9/25: 172 Wed 10/2: Goal 170 Wed 10/9: Goal 168 Wed10/16: Goal 166 Wed 10/23: Goal 164 Saturday 10/26: GOAL 162
