Thank you I will check the link. I am in the process of moving, and I had inadvernently packed my fitbit. I am planning on getting the new one for my wrist and I will be able to start that hopefully by the end of August.

I started eating at my sedentary TDEE last Friday (a week ago) which is I believe 1850. I also started NROLFW last Friday. Tomorrow will be my first week of 3 days of lifting approx. 25-30 minutes each time. I had been doing VLCD off and on for the last 2 years. Keep gaining 20 back, so I see the sense in this program.…

I do this too

I bring spinach with 1oz feta, 1 T of Cranraisins with balsalmic vinegar and then I bring frozen fajita steak strips in another container, heat and then mix into salad. WIth a 1/2 cottage cheese on tomatos. I also take a beef patty and brown it with some tomato with water and chili powder, then put that in a seperate…

I think you need to eat more. The weight will be temporary, since you have been consistent with your diet and excercise. I am sure that once you get to the right TDEE and then do the cut it will come back off. Plus you are measuring right? The key is you can weigh more and be smaller when you are lifting and doing HITT

Hi Deanna, I am hoping someone jumps on and gives you the answer. Just my basic info I would think your TDEE is 2170ish. Heybales has a spreadsheet and if you have gmail you can use make a copy and it will save for you. Otherwise download it to save. Here is the link…

I am mid 40s and I just started the new rules of lifting for women. Great book and explains everything very well. They have groups here too.

2000 doesn't suprise me, heybales will I am sure step in and respond or you can message her. Sounds resonable based on your acivity level. I know of others that work out like that and some and they are taller and theirs is 2600. So if you do it, just increase by 150-200 every day until you get there. Good luck

You only have one day of your diary done, I am guessing since you were on a trip. I can say that I gained 10lbs on a 4 day trip and that all came off within a week or so by just going back to regular eating watching my food and drinking water. So much will settle out on its own if you don't nibble all day. Try to make sure…

You are going to get all kinds of answers. One common ratio is 40carb/30protein/30 fat. some tweak the macros slightly but that is the one I see the most

From all that I read alot of ladies start EMWL and do a cut right away, which won't work. That is because many were eating too low or doing low carb low cal and wild diets for a long time. THe body needs to have TDEE until stable then the 15% cut. Of course the NROLFW is very helpful to that. I have been doing alot of…

I am guessing you are not eating at TDEE, and you may need to redo your calories. If you redo the TDEE and see where you need to be at and eat there I bet you start losing again.

I agree with the above. I went to a nutritionalist 2 years ago,because I wasn't losing any longer and gaining. WHY? because I was eating 700 calories a day wasn't hungry. She said I should be eating 1500 or more at that point, so I worked on it and of course I messed up my metabolism so I did gain. I gained 17 pounds (some…

Added excercise you especially cardio can have a temporary retention of water and of course you added weights that will go away. However, if you know your BMR and are going below with excercise the body stores fuel it needs. So look at what your BMR is and make sure your eating enough to fuel your workouts and daily body…

A key part of this is to eat at TDEE without cut for about 6-8 weeks or longer depending on how long you had do low calories eating. It is personal and only your body knows. So You want to eat at your TDEE until your body stabilizes then do the cut. :)

Google how to s of cooking with Microwave for eggs and meats. Should be a variety of ways on how to do that

I was readying in another forum here the other day and sent the post to a friend in an email. I can't find the post to link you to, but I do have the post copied and will paste it here. It seems this is new information for a lot of people and it could potentially relieve a lot of anxiety about weight gain when increasing…

You are going to get alot of different advice. However you are doing alot of excercise and probably going below BMR. So your body is storing the fuel. Check out the Eat more weigh less threads/forums here. It has been very helpful and makes lots of sense.

My suggestion check this forum out. Read the pinned info. I think it will be very effective for you http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/3834-eat-more-to-weigh-less

me too please

I am just under 5' 9 as well 38D, large bone structure. Currently 185, still holding alot of weight in lower half of my body. Goal is 158, I have been 169 last year, but I believe I can't keep it off due to not having developed enough lean muscle so I am working on that. If I look trimmer and more toned at 169 I would be…

Great, thank you. I won't be able to make the immediate jump in calories. I have been at these calories for about 3-4 months now and still hanging around same weight. My body has been here at least 3 other times before in the last 12 years so for those that believe in a set point this is the one that it remembers…

Thank you. I just set up my new TDEE as 2051 maintain in MFP that allows for the 488 cal burn. I adjusted my percentages to 35%Protein/30 Carb and 35 fat but I was thinking of adjusting that . I am currently 185 but that is NOT lean, I think my high end with healthy BMI is 169 and I would like to be 158. The 35% may not be…

Thank you both for responding. I am prepping myself mentally for this. For me it will be the process of adding more protein and the 100 calories. So when increasing the calories am I trying to keep the carb lower still? wasn't clear on that from what I read. I do realize I need to build muscle to help burn fat, have had a…

The not being hungry is probably due to you eating so little you are slowing your metabolism so you aren't hungry. That isn't good especially if you want to lose you need to get the metabolism up. I suggest Egg whites (egg beaters) higher calories and protein, lower fat. Also purchasing J robb or jillian michaels or even…

thanks

Looks good. can you tell me how the calories are set up? I can see the 121 but what do each of the numbers represent? as in what is Protein and which is fat etc.

I have been preparing my mind with these thoughts the last couple of years and it has worked. 1. We can actually make and have those foods ANY time of the year. I now can have pumpkin pie in July if I want, so then I don't have to eat 2 pieces. OR I love sweet potatoes and only would eat them during the holidays. Not…

Mine does that too, but it goes up and up and up and then it goes way down. It is more accurate if I do it just 1 time LOL

I can say its been around since the 50's. The hormone comes in different forms not just injections, but drops, pellets too. The hormone causes your body to release from the abnormal fat 1500-2400 calories in addition to the 500 they are eating, which is why the 500 calories. the program also shows them how to reintroduce…
