Several people asked me what my TDEE was. I didn't even know what that meant. I googled it and used two different online calculators. Inputting the same info in both, one said it was 1963 calories and one said it was 2228 calories. How do I know which is correct and what does it really mean anyway? Also what is BMR? I saw…

Fair advice. I may try this. Thank you!

I think I eat a lot of protein! Egg whites, tuna, nuts, the shakes! I do mostly group classes such as Zumba, Insanity, Body Pump, and Kickboxing. I also run 5K's, walk almost daily and recently started hiking about once a week. I also lift weights occasionally

Ok, but can we agree that based on my recent diary entries I COULD possibly be off by maybe 200-300 calories at most and even if I was, I would still only be eating 1300 calories a day max. Take away the exercise (which I don't always Log because I don't use the extra calories anyway) and I'm still netting 1000 or less…

Ok. I didn't say I've always logged consistently! LOL. Just lately. No, I don't weigh my fruits or foods that are prepackaged such as bread slices. But I do buy the tiniest bananas and apples that I can find so they have to be pretty close to accurate. I actually am not starving all the time now that I am doing the shakes.…

I cannot imagine that someone who is 5' 2" and weighs 122 lbs could lose weight eating 1800 calories a day or maintain at 2200! You must have metabolism like Superman!

I opened my diary. (The reason why I didn't before was because I know that all the "clean eating" people are going to start picking on what I eat. I'm a firm believer that a calorie is a calorie and I'm not at all interested in clean eating.) My BMI is 24.2 and I have no idea what my muscle mass is or even how to find out.…

I do appreciate all the advice. To answer a few questions, I have 15 pounds to lose still. It was my Obgyn who recommended the shakes. She did say that she would do blood work when I go back in three months if I'm still not losing. Someone mentioned not worrying so much about the number on the scale but more about how I…

Oh my gosh. I PROMISE you I am NOT miscalculating my calories. And just for the sake of argument, even if I was, it couldn't possibly be by more than a couple hundred calories which would still put me at consuming around 1200 calories plus burning calories during exercise that I don't consume. So even if I was wrong (I'm…

Also, my doctor did not say it was Ok to keep up this super low calorie diet long term, but it was supposed to be a way to finally get off these last few pounds quickly. Which is why I'm frustrated I guess.

Yea I use a food scale and measuring cups. I measure and weigh everything. I also log daily. Thanks for the compliment on the shirt. I got it at Kohl's.

Well I'm fretting because I've just started something new and cut out a significant amount of calories. I am pretty meticulous with my counting so I'm fairly certain that I am not overestimating my intake and it doesn't matter what I burn because I never eat those extra calories anyway. I am just so done with the weight…

I currently weigh 150 lbs. My goal is 135. Everyone tells me that I look great now and don't need to lose anymore, but I just really want to make it to that goal. I've basically been maintaining (really losing and gaining the same 5-8 pounds) since November even though I've been trying to lose so I'm scared to death to try…
