  • How do you delete an item you've added to your diary on MFP on IOS7? I used to just be able to swipe it and hit delete. Now when I swipe an item, it goes to either yesterday or tomorrow. Help?
  • 5ft 5 ladies! Just ramped my cals back up yesterday. I dropped 20 pounds in a little over 6 months doing TDEE-20%. Since early June I've been in a rut again. I attempted to cut to 1550 for a month to no avail so I did my calculations again (which I guess was a smart thing to do!) and I'm looking at 1740 now. Hoping to get…
  • I am 5'5'' and broke a year-long plateau by upping my cals to 1800 per day doing TDEE-20%. I also work a desk job, workout 5-6 days a week and went from 165 lbs to 145 lbs in about 7 months. Before that I was eating only around 1400. :) I'm trying to get to my final goal of 135 and hit a wall again. So, for the past month…
  • I started doing this (TDEE - 20%) in October 2012 at 165 pounds. I had already lost 70 pounds and was dancing around 165 for an entire year. I upped my calories from 1200 (what MFP originally had me set at) to 1700-1800. In May 2013 (7 months later) I hit 142 pounds. So, I lost 23 pounds by... EATING MORE! Here's a…
  • I lost most of my weight still drinking a glass of wine with dinner and social drinking occasionally on weekends. I did cut back the wine within the last 3 months (say 2 nights instead of 5) and I've actually noticed a significant difference. Less bloat, dropping my last stubborn pounds faster.
  • I'm 5'5'', 28 years old and my goal weight is 135 -- which is CRAZY for me to even believe because like others, I've always set small goals. NEVER did I ever say when I was 235 pounds that I wanted to be that small. I took it in strides. I just want to be under 200, then I just want to be under 190, then I just want to be…
  • Polar FT4! I've dropped 20 pounds in 6 months since I started using it. It 100% makes you workout smarter.
  • Like I said, I don't eat them back... at least not on purpose. It's really debatable. Many people on here have success both ways. *shrugs*
  • Thank you! I'm glad I could help and give some insight. And definitely invest in a HRM if you could! It's LITERALLY changed my life. Worth every cent!
  • I personally do not eat back exercise calories - not on purpose, at least! TDEE factors in your activity level in order to give you that number so I don't see the reason to eat them back. Net cals are just a beautiful thing when you follow this method. Since I net below my BMR due to my high burns most of the time, it…
  • Since my post above back in December, I've lost 20 pounds. 20 pounds down in a little over 5 months. And that was after a year plateau. :) I SWEAR by this method. Don't be afraid to eat!
  • I've been on a plateau for a YEAR. Just maintaining, maintaining, maintaining when I have 15 more pounds to my next goal weight and another 15 pounds to my ultimate goal weight. Saying I was frustrated is an understatement. I did some Googling and stumbled upon the BMR/TDEE method on this forum. I researched my BMR (1466)…
