Did a spinning class for the first time!! Loved it !

So true :) Thank you for reminding us!

Oh my goodness, I am overwhelmed with the response I got to my question. Even though, your opinions differ so much and your outlook on heath issues and weight loss are so different, I appreciate each and every response and opinion I got. I am sorry if some of you think I responded only to the comments I wanted to hear, but…

Wow, thank you so much , it is so nice to hear such words of encouragement!!! Very motivational, just what I needed to hear!!! I am starting today! Thank you!

read an article on line stating that you multiply your weight by 10 to figure out your total calorie burn at rest

I did miss couple of days out of frustration, I just can't stay under 1700 calories

Thank you, I will give this a try too!

How do you estimate you TDEE?

I will try this, thanks!

I have an HRM and a BodyMedia, the HRM shows that I hardly burning any calories when exercising, for example yesterday it showed that I burned 250 calories in a one hour zumba class which does not make sense.

I weigh 170 lbs which means I burn about 1700 to sustain, in order for me to have a deficit of 500 calories a day I would have to consume 1200 calories a day, which has been very difficult for me.

Trying to lose 2 lbs per week, by exercising strictly, because dieting is not working for me.

which one works better in your opinion?

That's very nice of you to say :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH! All your suggestions were very helpful, but what was more helpful, your support and how much you cared! I wanted to give up, but your kindness gave me such motivation and inspiration!!! Many thanks!

I just went back and changed my goals and set my level of activity to lightly active and changed my weight loss goal to 1.5/week, but it still gave 1200 calories as my daily allowance.

That looks yummy, and super healthy. 405 calories? I will definitely be making this tomorrow!!! Thank you !!!

Thank you all for all your wonderful suggestions! You were great help! I appreciate it !!!

I have it as sedentary, I will try to do that with adding more protein and see if that works. Thank you

Yes, I have to lose about 45 lbs, so to lose 2 lbs/week I have to create a deficit of 1000 calories per day, 500 from exercise and 500 from diet, and since my I burn 1700 calories/day my calorie intake got set to be 1200.

I have been eating my exercise calories back which is stalling my weight loss, so I cant increase my calorie intake any more. I will try eating more protein and less carbs, I did not want to go that route but it looks like I am going to have to. Thank you all!

Living a healthy lifestyle does not mean you have to eliminate all the things that you like all togother, you try to make good choices but if you say I can never have that peanut butter sandwich ever again then you are setting your self to fail.
