I started doing the TDEE method after I lost the 10lbs and have been messing with the numbers a little

I lost two pounds last week, but seemingly gained it back.... ive been trying to he better about the scale, given I bumped up my exercise within the past 2 weeks and I bumped up my calories a little given I added in the extra running and aqua zumba class.... I think part of it is im losing inches and I know I am given how…

Also, I am definitely losing inches just trying to figure out why im not losing pounds...ie: ive lost 12lbs since january but ive also lost inches too, but now my weightloss has semingly stalled but I continue to lose inches

I consistently weigh everything with my food scale and im doing TDEE and eat somewhere between my BMR and TDEE-20% every day...some days I am lower than others and every once in awhile ill go over....diary is open

I know, I haven't had the money to get one and didn't wanna waste money on a cheap one, it's on my Christmas list along with a heart rate monitor... I bumped my calories up to 1627/week from 1550 so I'll see if it makes a difference in either direction

I just calculated the TDEE - 20% with little/no exercise and it came back with 1623, so I guess you're right

I measure everything, the only thing I'm bad at is weighing stuff given I don't have a food scale, but I'm getting one for Christmas.... I just noticed a difference since I've been less restrictive with my food I've actually lost weight

I wasn't sure how it should be calculated but the 2300-2600 includes activity, so even those minus the 20% are way over the 1550 MFP has set for me

I know, that's why I try to fit in one carbs at dinner, given I don't have that many and I know our bady needs them, the issue is more of I tend to go overboard unless I use a lot of self control

That's part of the problem for me, I've really tried to cut out pasta, pizza and bagels or making sure I measure and say that's it... There was a point within the past year where I was eating bagels and English muffins for breakfast and sandwiches on a baguette every day, but I've managed to cut back a lot given its a…

I ended up scooping out the inside of the bagel and measures the cream cheese

If your gym offers classes I suggest giving them a try.... I've always thought i could do it on my own, but is joined a different gym at the beginning of this year bad started going to the classes, and this is the most successful ice ever been, there's nothing like pushing yourself in a class and I feel, for me, they keep…

Agreed, if something doesn't work for you, you're not gonna stick with it in the long run

I either have toast with natural peanut butter, oatmeal made with almond milk, dried cranberries and almonds or 2 eggs

What about adding nuts or some veggies with hummus

^^ this... Also it looks like you might not be eating enough most days, if you've tracked everything except one meal and still have 1,000 calories left

I just made it public, any advise would be helpful

Thank you for the responses, I have been eating back some if not all of the exercise calories but have yet to make any real headway with my weight loss, although I feel a lot better than I did when I started

I do a body pump class twice a week, spin twice a week, a strength training/cardio class once a week and Pilates once or twice a week, my daily is set a little under 1600 Each class is an hour long

I LOVE my body pump class, I used to go twice a week but cut back to once and now that I'm going twice a week again I'm seeing a huge improvement

I do the same, it helps me see what I eat effects me on the scale

I have been a little lax on this but I've been getting better since joining MFP, so yes you're right

Thank you everyone for your responses... I allow myself the weekends to not track, maybe this isn't the best way but it keeps me on track during the week... I also just started the spin class and am considering adding it in on Fridays as well

Honestly, I base everything on how much better I look and feel than I did a year ago, I do weigh myself consistently to keep myself eating healthy; however, that isn't by any means the only consideration in terms of how fit you are... Be honest with yourself and look at pictures from last year/previous years and think…

My motivation came after realizing how out of shape I actually was and I keep my motivation because of the feeling I get after a good workout, especially when I'm eating healthy
