So many workouts on YouTube - the calorie burn value is going to depend on many factors. My focus is on enjoyment. Consistency is key for me. Jessica Smith https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB7wvgp4HUBe5TD10jIgxDg Leslie Sansone https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVl6ZdslZz2Zj-34bMJFPbg Jenny Ford…

To lose weight you need to take in fewer calories than maintenance. People can lose weight without any exercise at all. Cardio generally burns more calories than strength training, but strength training provides a host of benefits. For health and fitness a mix of both is good. Expresso is correct - what are your goals? How…

This is way too generic to be useful. Old vs. young. Active vs. inactive. As a test I used 25 YO / 120 pounds / 5'5" / Active / I got 2,342 calories for maintenance. https://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

This^ I bought some "special" teas on-line and a stainless steel thermal mug to keep the tea warm longer. Really nice in the winter.

Eating less than your calorie goal once in awhile is not a big deal. But, consistently under eating is not a good idea. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10569458/why-eating-too-little-calories-is-a-bad-idea/p1

My cat is so funny. He does ask to go out when there's snow on the ground. Except he walks around the edge of the deck where there's no snow. If he does get his paws wet, he shakes them as he walks. He would never walk on a leash though.

There's a planner out there called Eat this Much : https://www.eatthismuch.com/ 1200 is not a lot of food. The good news is most women don't need to go this low to lose weight. It's a default minimum here on My Fitness Pal. An aggressive weekly goal is going to give you lower calories. But keep in mind that exercise is not…

First, My Fitness Pal is giving you a calorie goal based on your weekly weight loss goal. 1200 is the default minimum. Choose a lower weekly goal and you'll get more calories.

Start by revamping 1 meal at a time. Let's say your breakfast is cold cereal and milk (used to be my go to). Measure and log a sample breakfast. When I would measure and log cereal, it would come in at way more calories than I thought. For me, cereal wasn't filling either. I finally figured out that it's a bad choice for…

Have you been eating at a calorie deficit? Do you log your calories? Weight loss always comes down to taking in fewer calories than maintenance calories. Some people can naturally reduce calories by eating low carb. Some people can naturally reduce calories by reducing their eating window. But others find they still need…

Unless you have medical issues, eating low carb isn't necessary for weight loss. Are you meeting protein goals? If you desire, you can tweak your macros, to increase protein some and lower carbs some. The rest of your calories should come from fat. See the post below for protein goals.......…

Increasing calories isn't the answer for weight loss. But it can be the answer for consistency. At 5' tall your number is going to be on the low side. Keep in mind My Fitness Pal is a NEAT calculation (not TDEE). You get a calorie goal before exercise. If you log exercise in MFP, your earn additional calories. Also, 1200…

ALL weight loss comes down to a calorie deficit. Taking in fewer calories than maintenance results in weight loss. There is no "magic" to Dr. Fungs method. If you like eating this way, then do that. For some people restricting their eating "window" helps them restrict their calories. For other people it doesn't. Dr Fung…

Stop beating yourself up. If you don't lose weight this week, so what. It's no big deal. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and CONTINUE. The right mindset is this is a lifelong journey. Step 1 - you lose weight. Step 2 - you maintain it. Maintenance is forever. If mid-week (or weekends) are hard you might give some of…

Intermittent fasting is an eating schedule that helps some people stay within their calorie goal. Try it and see if it helps you. There are many IF groups on My Fitness Pal for tips. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/120735-fasting-diet-intermittent-fasting…

My first thought was 3 minute (or instant) steel cut oats? Putting milk on raw "regular" steel cut oats - yuck. OP - I put steel cut oats (regular kind) in a crockpot for a few hours on low. Not overnight though, this is way too long for my crockpot. I make a weeks worth and just reheat individual servings.

Leslie Sansone walking workouts are low impact: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVl6ZdslZz2Zj-34bMJFPbg Jessica Smith has many low impact videos too: https://jessicasmithtv.com/

The flowchart in the thread is really informative: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10484320/why-i-am-not-losing-weight-flowchart

Your current weight, height, age, and activity level are going to dictate your calories.....no one can give you this answer without more information If your maintenance calories are 2000, and you eat 1500 - this is a 500 calorie deficit. Repeat for 7 days, and this will be 1 pound loss. However, weight loss is not linear.…

Very petite, sedentary and elderly? Maintenance for a 35 YO woman who weighs 90 pounds and is 4'8" tall is 1,366 calories. That's 1/2 pound a week at 1,100 calories. Check out a TDEE calculator.

Stir-Fry 101 So many ways to "personalize" recipes to suit your needs https://www.cooksmarts.com/articles/guide-to-stir-frying/ Crockpots are simple - mostly brown meat, add to crockpot. Then dump remaining ingredients, set temperature and go. Check black Friday sales.......…

I'm not sure what your device is but this post has tons of information. My Fitness Pal is using NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis)....I'm not sure what Noom uses. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10098937/faq-syncing-logging-food-amp-exercise-calorie-adjustments-activity-levels-accuracy/p1

Weight loss (and maintenance) is always going to mean staying within your calories. People can lose or gain weight eating high carb or eating low carb. Having trouble this time suggests you are losing weight again (been there done that). So maybe focus on permanent changes. Can you eat more servings of veggies every day?…

There is so much on YouTube - Jessica Smith TV is a favorite of mine

This is short sighted though. Losing weight is just step one. Attempting to eat "healthy" (whatever your definition) while losing weight will be meaningless when you get to goal weight unless you make some of those changes permanent. Never eating pizza or pasta again? No thanks. Learning to have a moderate portion of pizza…

Check your settings again......1,500 NET (1,500 + exercise) is the default minimum for men. Not feeling hunger is not really a reliable indicator. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10569458/why-eating-too-little-calories-is-a-bad-idea

1200 calories is the default minimum for women, not men. You shouldn't be looking to net 1200 calories, this is for short, sedentary women at that. If you are short & sedentary male, your net calories should be at least 1,500.

Take in fewer calories to lose weight. Exercise for health & fitness. There really shouldn't be a "vs." These 2 things or complementary. Over-simplified, cardio is good for your heart and weight lifting is good for bone and muscle health. For overall fitness you want a mix of both. From a calorie burn standpoint cardio…

Many diabetics can eat moderate carbs and still manage their blood sugar. Keto is pretty extreme. Did your doctor recommend keto, or refer you to a registered dietician? Instead of starting at the most extreme number.....how about taking the settings My Fitness Pal gave you and lowering the carbs by say 10% (for starters).…
