March 3rd - 7.08km March 4th - 6.8km I'm going to go for 100km this month! It's a bit ambitious for me but I think I can get it done. I've been considering signing up for a mud obstacle course race this summer, has anyone here done one before?

2/10 - 2km 2/11 - 2 km 2/12 - 4.18 km 2/13 - 4.3km 2/14 - 1.75km 2/25 - 3.5km 2/26 - 8.3km Well, My original goal was 20km but I surprised myself and actually beat that so I pushed it up to 30km!

2/10 - 2km 2/11 - 2 km 2/12 -4.18 km I'm making much better progress than I thought I would!

2/11 - 2km

First run in a long time and I went 2 kilometres 18 to go!

This is a really cool idea, I’m really new to running and trying to get more into it so I’m just going to set me goal for the rest of the month at 20 kilometres (sorry I can’t think in miles)

This sounds so good! Next time I go shopping I will definetly get the ingredients for it

Okay my bad, I must be mistaken, I am still fairly new to this. I don't use a food scale at the moment but I have been considering getting one, I just don't have much money to spend at the moment. Thanks for the tips.

I lost a lot of the weight in my face first so after about 10lbs my friends and family commented. The thing is I have now lost 20lbs and I have a hard time seeing the difference in myself.

It depends on your habits... How much they eat and exercise.

Toronto Canada!

I don't think there is anything particularly wrong with the articles OP linked to. I think each individual person needs to find what works best for them, some people fight find that counting calories works, but other people might find they need to keep an eye on their sodium, fat or carb intake. It is good to have a…

My TDEE is 2079

Thank you both very much!

It's set at 2lbs a week. Should it be less than that? I'm pretty new to this so I am still trying to figure everything out.

I am mainly doing cardio workouts on the treadmill, bike or elliptical, I think I am eating enough, I get about 1300 calories a day and no I don't do a cool down... does that help?

Feel free to add me!

Toronto!

Ah okay that makes sense, thanks.

That seems a little counter intuitive to eat back what you loose. What is the reason for doing that?

Do you know if it's okay for your net to be lower than your BMR as long as your intake is higher? (Sorry for all the questions I am very new to this)

Yeah I tried the rowing machine for a bit and it was so much harder than I was expecting. I went for about 5 minutes and I was dead at the end.

Thanks! I have been focusing on cardio at the moment mainly because I don't know the first thing about weight lifting and I don't want to make a fool of myself at the gym... I do want to start building up more muscle though so I will give it a shot later this week.

Thanks for all the tips! I will change my goal to 1lb a week

My BMR is 1647 and my TDEE is 2407 according to an online calculator.. That seems a little high to me. I I'm worried I would not loose weight if I ate that. MFP set my calorie goal as 1360.
