Thanks!

Ps I definitely AGREE that 700 net cals is very low. I was looking at daily intake overall. Thx!

THANK YOU FOR ALL POSITIVE ADVICE! I guess I needed to learn a few things and also how many opinions are out there huh?! Geez. I think I understand a little more. For ex: I eat 1200 cals one day but exercise for 500 cals, that is why my net was low. It makes sense. I assumed that if you eat a healthy amount and stay within…

I've lost 22 pds since January. I started with a cleanse for ten days while dieting and exercising as well. I 've been steadily losing weight until two weeks ago. I log all of my food intake. I'm usually over I protein as far as my daily goal (according to MFP app) but it evens out by the end of the week. I am usually good…

I hope I don't seem whiny. I just get reminded daily when I'm logging everything I do.

What about bloating though?

I mostly have salad with grilled chicken (50-100 cal dressing), turkey burger (slim sandwich 100 cal bread) or any kind of fish. I cut out pastas, butter, oils and only have lean meats and make sure to have veggies every night. I typically have a Luna Bar or Special K bar for BF, English muffin or Egg Beaters. Lunch is…

I prefer the elliptical over everything. I went from resistance (Jillian Michaels led workouts) 3 being highest to now 11. Should I also add weights in or is the resistance on elliptical doing the job?

No supplements and no fat loss diet packaged foods. Organic and healthy foods only.

Thank you for advice :smile:

I have noticed a difference for sure and feel better but get caught up in the feeling of failure or not doing enough. I feel like if I'm not completely wiped out or not starving, then I'm not doing enough. I sweat for sure when exercising but not puddles. I don't eat any junk. I do eat Protein bars though. Is there a such…

I just checked my net for week so far. It says I'm averaging 744 cals a day. But my calorie intake is at least 1200. ???

But every weight website says I should have 1200 cals a day to get to my old size of 120pds. I understand having more cals on days I exercise but I tend to keep it under 1700 if I get in a great workout still. When I look at my weekly nutrition log on app, it always says lower than what my daily calories were. ?

Even after I reach my goal the BMI indicators still say I will be obese for my height at 4"11! I'm 37, mother of three. I wouldn't look right if I go back to my pre-pregnancy size of 98-106 pds.

I've lost 22 pds since January but upped my workouts and resistance. Is the gain on the scale a result of muscle or not enough calories or what someone wrote on another website "retaining water for sore muscles",

I want to go back to weighing 120

My app says 1200 daily. I am 4"11, 176 pds, hope to lose 2 pds a week. I am a stay at home soccer Mom but exercise now 6 days a week min 35-60 min a day. I weigh food and cal count.
