I also have Hashi...diagnosed 2.5 years ago...it makes weight incredibly hard to lose, but I have and I want to lose a little more, but am struggling....feel free to add me.

If you look at your "Goals" tab MFP will tell you how many calories you should be burning a day. For example this is mine: Your diet Profile Target Calories Burned From Normal Daily Activity 2,170 calories/day Net Calories Consumed* Your Daily Goal 1,700 calories/ day Daily Calorie Deficit 470 calories Projected Weight…

I tweet, just not often....

^^^This^^^

I use my average for 28 days as my TDEE. I also keep a separate spreadsheet with an average. Much easier and quicker to look at then going to the website.

This is my 4th week in and up 6 lbs from start. I will cut next week as I started upping my calories when I joined this group and then decided to do a reset after about 6 weeks eating TDEE-15% and not losing one pound. Hoping the cut works and I get under the 170's.

Congrats...from everything I have read, you really only need an extra 300 calories in the last trimester to help with the pregnancy. Of course double check with your OB/GYN....

Love mine and feel lost when not wearing it.....I like the idea of giving it a name....I am going to have to come up with a good one!

I started MFP (March 2011) eating between 1200-1500 calories a day and exercise (cardio only) about 4-5 a week. In July 2011 started working with a trainer 2x a week doing boot camp type of exercises and continuing cardio 4-5 a week. Once I hit my stalled weight in February I upped my calories to around 1500-2000 and my…

I have hashi's as well and starting my 3rd week of reset. I take a low dose of levoxyl everyday and have not had any problems losing weight until February when I stalled. Just had my thyroid tested again last month and everything was ok. Since being on my reset I am up about 4 lbs from my lowest recorded weight, so not too…

It will work for you too...

see if eating at maintenance for a couple of weeks helps.

Yep scooby says my TDEE is 2350 and BMF says around 2300....pretty darn close.

bumping for you Denise!!!

I know eating more has not helped you and I have read your struggles. I would try zig-zagging calories next and give it a good solid month. I read another post last week that this really helped someone break through. I believe she got her calorie count from freedieting.com Good luck with whatever you choose to do! You can…

Here's my stats: In February hit a plateau and was 174 lbs (pant size14/16, shirt size XL) March-started back with personal trainer 174lbs -BF 24.5% End of April (about 6 weeks later) 174 lbs-BF 21% Today 173 lbs-BF hasn't been measure yet (pant size 10/12, shirt size L) So the scale doesn't mean anything unless you have…

awesome post

Keep it up. It was so hard for me to weigh and not see any movement. It was so frustrating and I moan and groaned about it. The only difference was I stayed consistent for about 3-4 weeks eating 1900-2000 calories a day. For a long time I was bouncing around every day. My workout routine hasn't changed, so I think just…

Got on the scale this morning and down another .4 lbs....didn't work out yesterday, but did do some shopping....so I am still hoping this will continue....anyone else do this after a major stall.

I took my average TDEE (over 30 days) -15%, it's about 2000 (give or take). Do you have a cheat day? I mean a day where you eat whatever you want. This helps me....also do you take a day off from exercise. I know you teach classes, but every one should take a day, just for a mental break at the least. Just a suggestion.

amazing! Great job

bumping to save for later!

Thanks. I still have a hard time believing my trainer. She measured me 3 times in each spot. She said I have a lot of loose skin. When I started I had it done with the handheld thing and I measured 47%, then a few month later had it measured again with the same device and it was 35%. When I first started working out with…

ok I see the difference when putting in my stats. It is using a different formula on the first page. If you go to the most accurate you can choose which formula you want to use. If you don't know your BF% I would probably stick to the information on the first page. If that doesn't work after some time, then maybe go to the…

Did you use a BF% that would give you a big difference? The more lean body mass you have the higher your BMR. Stickies are topics that are posted. Kept to the top of the discussion list so they don't get lost.

That's why I use both. Before my HRM I just use to go by the BMF, but it was almost like it wasn't real time and I know I wasn't getting an accurate reading on the elliptical or bike. My HRM and my BMF are pretty much the same when I do my strength training, regardless if it is lifting with weights or using body weight…

bump for later

This is how I do my daily burns....a friend helped me with it.... it might seem complicated but it works for me! For example yesterday: BMF burn: 2346 Calories consumed: 1949 Calories on MFP goal: 1947 Calories burned per HRM doing C25K W5D3: 231 BMF burn-Calories MFP goal=399 399-HRM burned=168 I take 168 and add it to my…

I use both. I have the garmin F70 and love it because I can import the numbers into the activity manager on BMF website. I go by my HRM during workouts, especially when using the bike or elliptical since the BMF doesn't pick up movement that well.

what stats did you put in? Did you put in your BF% under advance?
