I really couldn't choose between this ^ and onions, chicken, and green beans :noway:

I go to the gym 4 days per week and that's usually about 20 minutes walking, 5 minutes cardio, and 40 minutes lifting. I try to go for a couple of walks per week too.

I'm just going to link sexypants. I hope it helps :smile: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

You definitely don't have to exercise. But I agree that you'll get better results if you do. You can eat more, maintain more muscle mass as you lose, and there are health benefits of course :) You might also find that you fall in love with a certain type of exercise. I hated exercise in the beginning but now I love it :).…

lol like it's an either/or thing? We get books, audiobooks, and movies at the library. Our library also has digital downloads.

Do you mean what % body fat you want to aim for, what % of your current body fat you want to lose, or what % of your current body weight you want to lose?:flowerforyou:
-
LOL And NO you are not skinny fat.

I have very little loose skin. There's a bit on my lower tummy and a bit on my inner thighs but not enough to bother me. I didn't do anything special to prevent loose skin. No skin brushing, no lotions. I lost about 5 lbs/month.

I finally got this! -- Hopefully. Photobucket is not fun from iPod touch :P http://s1164.photobucket.com/user/NovemberJune/media/album/7C5B7DC0-7AE6-4053-A0D9-C567399D1FF7-15666-00000AF93CF585C1.mp4.html?sort=3&o=0 But, no, my toes aren't visible :/ darn Activities that usually bother my hips are running or anything high…

I don't worry so much about my calories on any given DAY, but how they are over a WEEK so that sounds good to me.

I'm a fan of Ender's Game and A Song of Ice and Fire too. ^^^

You really can't gain muscle that quickly, especially on a calorie deficit. It could certainly be water weight though :smile: Here's a good little "guide" that might be helpful. good luck! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/963088-level-obstacles-lose-weight-target-fat-easy

I just finished the Abhorsen series which I absolutely love. That's my 2nd time and I had forgotten a lot of the important stuff so it was almost as good as the first time :)

5'4" female, 133 lbs. Last month I was lifting 135 3 sets of 5. Since then, my hip bursitis has flared up and now I can barely get 135 off the ground for 1 rep. :sad: I'm going to keep on building and eventually 135 will be my down weight and something else will be my hips are feeling good weight lol. My orthopedist has…

I agree that you can't spot reduce fat. It will come from where it comes from. My arms were slowest to lose. Like maybe I'd lost 10% from my arm circumference at the same time I'd lost 20% from my waist and hips. Good luck!

fixed it ^

I do that in fitting rooms but not so much after I've bought them :wink: lol. Sounds like you're doing great OP

Then the fitbit is over-estimating your TDEE or you are eating more than you think. :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/872212-you-re-probably-eating-more-than-you-think
-
LOL yes but she says eating exercise calories back with the 1200, so I assumed she meant with the 1400 too, or she'd be eating less now than before. Or maybe the same? (1200 plus exercise calories would be more than or equal to 1400 without adding exercise calories). And she never did say TDEE MINUS anything so I was just…
-
I think it's really interesting that some people's weight will fluctuate a lot from day to day and others will stay relatively flat. Like I said in my previous post, I don't think 1200+ exercise calories seems low for a 4'1" female who is relatively light. I'm never a proponent of huge calorie deficits, especially close to…
-
I'm really confused by people suggesting that the OP is under-eating. She is a relatively small person and she says she was eating 1200 plus exercise calories and is now eating 1400 plus exercise calories. Her TDEE without exercise I'm guessing is around 1500 (using TDEE calculator and guessing age)? And it seems she was…
-
I'm always surprised when I see someone who has been on MFP for a long time and lost a lot of weight get surprised/frustrated by what is completely normal weight fluctuation...? I "gain" and "lose" 1-3 lbs 3 times a week. Anyway, if you ate 1400 more calories this week than last week (200*7), that is not enough to cause a…
-
Yes, mfp will ask you if you want to update your calorie goal after you've lost a few. You don't have to update anything other than your weight. :) And it's true that if you change your goal, it will base that upon your current weight.
-
If you can reach your protein goal and be under your calorie goal and eat peanut butter then that's great. I love peanut butter and I do eat it but I eat PB2 more often because I like to glob it all over my toast and that would be a lot of calorie with peanut butter ;). This way, I can have my PB2 toast and then eat a…
-
I'm guessing by the suggested MFP 1200+ exercise calories you mean you set it up for 2 lbs per week? The first 6 months of my weight loss, I averaged 1850 calories and went from around 230 to around 200 lbs. I was doing home workouts, starting with exercise bike then workout DVDs. The next 6 months, I averaged 1600 and…

I look forward to following your progress :) I'm also about 23-24% body fat and I've been trying to the slooow recomp route ;). I can see definite stomach progress over the past 8 months at the same weight... but everything else looks the same. Good luck!!!!
-
My only guess would be that your TDEE is lower than the fitbit is guesstimating. Fitbit calories are only estimates and they seem to be more accurate for some than others. If you go a few more weeks without a loss, then you'll know your TDEE is lower than that, and you can cut from there and see what happens. WHAT you eat…
