Thanks everyone!! :flowerforyou: The 5k went great!! I finished in 36 (something, not sure on the exact time yet). My goal was to run it in under 40 min. so I was pretty stoked to see that time! And . . . . . I felt kind of skinny in my new running outfit! teehee :tongue:

I really appreciate this post!! :blushing: I homeschool and it is a lot of work! Thanks for the encouragement. I know my children will appreciate it and me when they are old enough to understand the sacrifice and work it takes! Thanks again! :flowerforyou:

Maintenance is your TDEE if you've done your BMR & TDEE calculations. If you haven't then head on over here and punch in your numbers: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ It will tell you what your maintenance cals are :) I think that if you have gone through HCG, low carbing, binging, and such, that setting…

Thank you so much!! I will stick with the Scoobys calculations.

I have a question: I did scoobysworkshop.com calorie calculator last night to determine my TDEE and BMR because when I did it by hand my husband thought it seemed really high at 2880. Scoobys gave me 2622 as my TDEE. But does this include the 10% for digestion? How important is adding the 10% to the total? CW:200.8 (I was…

Thank you for posting these!! They have answered a lot of my questions. I so appreciate all of your time (Kiki and Lucia) and care for all of us that are just beginning this journey to a healthy body.

Great Congo. Saving for later.

OK, so I just read the "what to expect" post again and I'm thinking I need to eat maintenance calories for 4-6 weeks to repair my metabolism. What are maintenance calories again? I have tried the low/no carb diets as well as been a binger on low calorie diets. The worst for me was the HCG diet. I felt awful and had no…

Hi everyone, so this is my fourth day upping my calories. I went from around 900-1200 a day to now trying to eat at least my BMR which is 1644. Yesterday I actually ate above that by about 80 cal. On Sunday I did a 45 min. cardio/strengthening workout in the afternoon and a 25-30 min. Brazil Butt Lift workout that evening.…

Thanks! I love avocados and nuts!! Do you have a hard time not going over your fat? I have my settings at 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein. Should I change anything?

Thanks! I will do that. Do you have any suggestions on what to eat? I am having a hard time getting my calories up. Yesterday I managed to eat around 1450 but that included a really good but not good for you cookie. :) I do protein shakes and I like to juice. When I'm making healthy choices and I'm eating right I have a…

Hi :) I just joined this group a couple of days ago. I turned 30 last September. I'm a sahm to 3 beautiful boys. I have been doing low Cal diets off and on for a lot of years now including the hcg one. I'm so tired of feeling tired all of the time and not having any energy. That is why I decided to check out what eating…

Thanks for adding me to the group!! I can't wait to get my body back to where it needs to be - HEALTHY!!
