Looking for an updated script with SmartPoints please.

I'm in the same boat, and curious to know that answer.

Thanks for all your replies! I appreciate all the feedback.

Hi there! I'm a newbie to this, and just had a question. You said that when you were eating 1700 the scales didn't budge. Does this mean that 1700 is your maintenance? For a loss, wouldn't you subtract from this for a further calorie deficit? How does adding calories lead to a loss. Sorry, I'm just confused. I'm…

Bump...anyone?

Wow you look AMAZING!!! My husband was following his routine for about a month and saw some great results! It's interesting to see how his program would be on a women! You look fab!!

I've actually seen a few people do this. Instead of an office chair, use a stability ball. This will keep your core engaged the whole time you are sitting on it!

Thanks for starting this! I've been on this method for one week as well and can't believe how my results are to the T. SW: 139 March 5: 137.2 I'm averaging a deficit of 4154 calories per week, so my 1.2 loss is dead on!

I'm in! CW 137 GW: 132 March 1: 137 March 5: March 12: March 19 March 26 Final- April 1

Her,... I'm not sure who she is but came across this picture and can't get over it!! P.S. If anyone has some advise for me on how to get this body, I welcome all suggestions!

I'm wondering, how would I be able to accurately reflect the number of calories burned by strength training into my activity calories? I know cardio can be accounted for, but weight lifting is a little bit more complicated.

Yes, you would add everything, basically anything over the 543, you should eat...So eat 65 more calories so that your deficit remains at 1000, not over 1000. The goal is to be at most 1000. I hope this helps!

Thanks so much for getting back to me... Now just one more question, I promise... Currently my stats are: BMR: 1302 Maintenance: 1692 Exercise: 610 I know that it says not to eat less than my BMR which is 1302. Today after setting my calories remaining to 1692, I've eaten about 700 calories so far, which means my new…

I'm just wondering, I've set up all of my numbers and stats and I am now on track. As far as exercise goes, I want to make sure that I log my exercise calories accurately so that I can get an accurate deficit count. What would you say is the best method for calculating calories burned? MFP exercise tracker, or should I…

Thank you this was helpful. Perhaps I can clarify to you what my activity level is... So I am 5ft, female, age 25 CW: 140 GW:120 My activity level is as follows: Sleep: 8 hours I have an office job, so I am mostly sitting for 8 hours per day I work out 3 times per week- 45 mins weight training, 30 minutes cardio I watch tv…

Heybales, thank you for posting this! I have been stuck at my current weight now for over a year, and am definitely going to give this method a try. I have used the excel speadsheet you posted to calculate my stats which are as follows:. 5ft, 25 years old Current Weight: 140 Goal Weight: 120 Daily Goal: 1684 Activity: 857…

I found this great blog with tons of different oatmeal ideas and they each look so delicious! http://www.katheats.com/kaths-tribute-to-oatmeal

I was just about to say the same thing! Great job!

Today is my Day 3 of the South beach diet.. and I know you're not supposed to weigh yourself every day, but I have been just out of curiosity to see if this is actually working... and I've lost almost 3lbs. I've been on MFP and other calorie tracking websites since March 2010 and have lost 18lbs in the first three months,…

Thank you all for the help and feedback. It is definetly much appreciated. I think the general consensus is that I should be eating more calories. I generally do not eat back my exercise calories. So I think i'll start aiming at eating 1300-1500 calories a day. I'm just sooo worried that doing this will cause me to gain…

Amazingggggg job! I have the same stats as your starting weight and would love to know your secret...please do share.

I'm on Day 5 today as well. I can already see little tiny abs forming and my arms getting more muscle! I love it and seeing everyone's results just keeps me motivated to keep going!

Yup that was me yesterday! Day 3 was the most challenging for me.. let's see what Day 4 brings!!

I just started the shred. Today will be my Day 3. You guys have achieved some great results and this has honestly motivated me so much more! I can't wait to share my results :)

Excellent! Congratulations!
