rhyme of ancient mariner... Iron Maiden!

MFP is NET calories, eaten calories minus exercise calories should be 1440 in your case. how long doing this? how much lost?

Just in case some one if researching this, I will update: returned the arm band, reasons: -erratic readings, compared to the cardio machine's HRM, it would riead 50 or 158 or 122, the cardio machine read 122 all along! -app buggy, it crashes, it pauses, it drove me nuts, had to baby seat it to make sure it did not pause or…

sold all my lifting stuff 2 years ago, they opened a gym 1/2 a block from my house, 10 dlls a month. I assume you do not have this option. then x3 on craigslist or yard sales!

I do not agree, they just want to keep us docile, now that we have learned that low fat does not work, another way to promote bad carbs I bet. I always find myself more masculine (testosterone up) with greasy red meats and pork! and my last fluid check total cholesterol was 170! I stay away from grains, specially GMO's!!

eliminate laws allowing food subsidies and tax breaks for large companies, Increase tariffs on imports and lower cost of education!

check against this: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ I did mine a week ago and am eating a bit more than I used to, I will give it a month and see if I loose again, so far I have not gained and am eating 500-600 more a day. not all my exercise cals because it would be too much to eat!

super inspiring, congrats on your accomplishment! and thanks for motivating me.

I set mine to sedentary, and have a heart rate monitor to find out how many calories I burn in exercise, I eat them back to meet my necessary calorie NET intake. I used this to verify my calorie requirements: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ I would say YES, walking is an exercise, it is beyond sedentary. I…

since I was 15, 22 years! what a party!!

try this one: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

+2, did 3 weeks of about 500-1000 net, did not loose a OZ, started to loose stamina and power, mood started to decline and put on water weight, now for the last 4 days I been neting 2000-3000 and my weight is back to the lowest and all is getting better. I bought a HRM t make sure I get more accurate exercise cals and will…

went for a 2 hour mountain bike ride, the sport tracker I was using on my android smart phone said 1756 cals, the RHYTHM 1306 cals, 450 calories less. I kept an eye on the heart beats and I averaged 112, which is the start on my fat burn range!

just finished a tread mil run, 45 minutes. the Rhythm said 575 cals the treadmill said 730 cal burned. both saw the same Heart bits per minute and of course my age and current weight. next will be to test it on my bike. I am pretty happy with it so far!

just bought one to try and get more accurate exercise burn numbers on my bike rides also will compare to cardio machines! Will report soon.

hang in there, slow improvements over time will be there! you already made progress. don't just weigh yourself, measure. I just did and in a month I lost 8 inches overall and only 6 lbs!! I now with exercise and good nutrition we make some muscle!

I agree that you are starving yourself, if you are using a HRM to get your exercise cals (as far as I understand that is one of the most accurate means) you need to eat them back. try it for a few weeks and you should see the weight start to melt again. I started this 2 days ago and just got done with a 35 minute jog ion…

nothing, a multi vitamin and fish oil. I guess I caught it early enough, just by increasing exercise and going raw, no grains and green smoothies and 5-6 meals a day I lowered to an average of 85 glucose fasting in 3 weeks and my A1c went from 12 to 6.2 in 3 months, my new doctor said I knew what to do, loose more weight…

desk job, I am in R/D and walk more than just desk but not really a lot. my goal was 1.5 lbs a week, now I set it to 1 lb and it told me to eat 1850 net. I agree on getting better exercise precision on the burn. I plan to buy a blue tooth HR strap for my galaxy s4 sport tracker on my bike rides. thanks,

thanks to all, I will change my goals. i spoke to a personal trainer at the gym an hour ago and he said that I should be eating between 2500 and 3000 cals a day. I showed him the elliptical machine, 430 cals in 30 minutes and he said because I use my Hrate monitor I could trust the number and eat them. he explained that…

thanks, I am happy but want to maintain a 1-2 lbs per week loss, I will revise to active and will start using my HR monitor and compare to the cardio machines, as well as link it to my sport tracker for the bike rides.

yes scale was the first thing we got with starting MFP. my fear is that too large a calorie deficit will trigger starvation and stop weight loss. I drink about 10-12 glasses of water a day and keep my sodium in check.

the treadmill was at 15% elevation and my hr was around 125, and speed at 4.0, I dont look at distance, but will tomorrow. plus I was doing some HIIT and would go 2 minutes every 10 at 7.5 mph with 0% elevation. the MTbk was 7.6 miles and a lot of flat with sand, I use my smart phone android spot tracker app. I want to…

congrats, your dedication payed off!! now to maintain, and indulge a little!! wohooo

I understand that we are born with a number of fat cells. if we fill them (become obese) they will multiply and we are stuck with them. they can be as large as a bean or as small as a grain of salt. I read on "the 4 hour body" that ALA (alpha lipoic acid) and garlic help get rid of the flat/dead fat cells. I worry more…

the issue is that it is very difficult to measure exercise calories burned with precision. I get one number from my HB tracker, another from MFP (based on minutes) and another from the cardio machine. I am in a a plateau and am going to try and eat back 1/2 of what the average calories burned from exercise are for 2 weeks.…

as I understand, in nature no food has just sugar. by making juice from fruits you remove the fiber, fiber is what slows down the absorption of sugars into our blood and then into fat cells. I do not juice, I make green smoothies and add fruit in moderation, or just eat the fruit. the way our hunter gatherer ancestors did!…

good info, I am starting it today, since yesterday i celebrated my nday and indulged on a lot of meat, brazillian buffet and up till 5 am drinking remy and diet. had not drank for 6 months, and am 47 lbs down already. I wil not exercise till tueday and plan to not eat back my exercise cal but also only exercise for 1-2…

I found that I was logging my exercises and had already specified an active lifestyle. I was allowed 2000 cals, now I set it to sedentary and will log my exercises. I am now allowed 1600 cals a day to loose 1.5 lbs a week. I will onlu eat 1/2 my exercise cals back, since I think sports tracker and the cardio machines at…

I assume some of that, but how much muscle do we really put on? maybe 1/2 a lb, not 2-3 lbs in 2 weeks. probably more like liquid retention to heal muscles.
