Exactly this is what I want to do for my holiday break! :) Not going overboard, just giving myelf a little bit rest from the whole calorie counting and thinking about food stuff. I know I am now able to listen to my body and making the right choices..and the right choice sometimes maybe even is to just eat the donut! :)
-
Well, sorry for the lack of information. So: I'm in to this for about 7-8 months, I went from 89 kg to 61 kg. I'm doing Fitnessblender 8 week fatloss programs, including HIIT, Strength, Pilates, cardiovascular etc. I'd say my total hours of sports in a week would be anywhere from 4-7 hours. ( therefore I'm always saying…
-
No, I'm pretty sure I can handle this :). I don't even look forward to stuff myself, just enjoying christmas and not need to think about my caloric intake too much. Sure I will still log here and then, to make sure I really don't underestimate what I am eating. I've already lost a total of 28 kg, I feel like if I want to…

So, I'm in to this for 7-8 months :) Well, I know, I know that I'm not on a diet, I'm never going back to eat the way I used to..I just also don't always want to cut off calories haha:). That's the only thing, I just sometimes need a mental break, so that I don't feel like I need to binge whatesoever :)
-
The thing is, I really can't stand feeling deprived of anything. I just ate for few weeks 1400- 1450 calories daily, but that's already pretty hard for me. ( I'm doing sports 6 times a week, strength, cardio, hiit whatsoever) As a result I started feeling like depriving myself of a lot of stuff, and I hated watching every…
-
Well, right. Of course, I don't have as much experience as a 40 year old..but even a 40 year old could handle the experiences he or she colletcs wrong. There's a difference in saying; Every boy or girl is bad, because once I was rejected..or: Well, you know, I once was rejected, but everyone's different, and therefore…
-
Well, age isn't always an indicator for knowledge, but also didn't I say I KNOW, I said: What works for me :). But I wonder where the difference is, if I wrote this with +10 years ;).
-
Thinking about doing it too! Just afraid I'll gain the weight back after reintroducing wheat and stuff back again to my nutrition..experiences anyone? :) ( and well, no, I don't want to eat my whole life like that..I love my pasta and my bread :)..just want a challenge :). )
-
Thanks for all the answers! :)
-
right, every 2 weeks! :) Thanks anyway :)
-
not every week, every 2! :)
-
Well, I surely didn't eat at maintainance..in this 2 weeks I always had a calorie deficit of 500..so this can't be the reason. ( I log everything with a food scale ). *sigh* Well, maybe it's just temporary and I'll lose soon again :)
-
I did, and MFP actually set my calories a bit too low, but I'm fine with that. If I wouldn't feel good about it, I'd change them :). I also, ALWAYS eat my exercise calories back..would feel like starving if not.
-
I'm doing pretty much the same! :)
-
You got it :). Well, right, I used a method to calculate my TDEE if I wanted to maintain ( something like you take all the days..and the punds you've lost..and etc. I think you know what I mean ) and If I wanted to maintain, I would need to around 2300..so, it seemed pretty accurate to me, since I've lost more than 1 pound…
-
Well, thanks for the answers :). As I said, I know what TDEE is, also I know what's the difference between the MFP-method and the TDEE-method is..I was just quiet unsure about my acitivity level - but I guess there's just no other way to find out your "perfect" TDEE than to try it out. :)
-
Well, I know. Art the moment I use the MFP method, but I'm thinking about swichting to TDEE. - So I am not quite sure what to chose.. My workouts are always pretty intense. ( including HIIT, strength, pilates, cardiovascular etc. )
-
You burn 1 calorie a minute when doing NOTHING, how do you want to burn 50 calories a hour?! Even 100 is absolutely underestimated!
-
HIIT, abs and cardio, 55 minutes :)
-
Well, I'm still overweight, but I have now exercised regularly for 2-3 years, and I even have muscles on my legs and arms and back you can see :). I would define myself as relatively fit. I do HIIT, strength, pilates etc. on regular bases ( 6 times a week ). I am defenitely fit and healthy, just need to lose my fat :). You…

Well, if you've done your homework, you shouldn't need to ask for advise, right? So, again, strength training is the key.
-
Personally, I find it pretty hard eating a high amoung of proteins, since I don't use any protein powder. ( Don't want to take something like this to me, doesn't feel right. Many strange ingredients ) I have my goal set at 130 proteins/day or something, but I hardly hit it. Still I have a pretty high amount of muscle…
-
+100 ..it's always yourself. No one else.
-
Are you now eating 1400, or netting 1400? - Means, eating exercise calories back too.
-
Do you still eat you exercise calories back since upping to 1400? :) I too think about upping them to 1400 or even more, since the caloriecalculator from scooby told me to eat 1800 calories a day to lose weight. ( 25% calorie reduction ). But I'd still eat my calories I burned from exercises back..otherwise I'd be netting…
-
Opening my diary wouldn't help, since everything is in german :). I also thought on that before, but, well, most people here wouldn't understand :).
-
For sure enough protein and enough ( healthy ) fats. Normally I lose 5-8 lbs/ month..what is a lot..and I think maybe I now even eat too less, even if it doesn't seem to me like that, because I'm eating my exercise calories back..but my net calories are still 1250..so yeah
-
I do make progress ( trying to lose ) , but it seems a little bit slower than recently. I am almost always in my calorie goal, most of the time 100 under it :). I also do eat clean, but every two weeks I have my cheatday, but I think it doesn't hurt, it's something I need to stay on track and to look forward my clean diet…
