I am interested in your results because I am considering the same procedures in a couple of years..

Cool, I've heard of the dexa scan sounds like agood investment. @Rose, I just made an appointment at my gym for a consultation so they will measure my BF%...not sure what method they use though.

that does make me feel a bit better, where did you get this info from? I general was looking at an article from livestrong about BF% and a few other random places, and was shocked when it said 30%+ is obese!

I would like more friends. I have 2 kids and want to lose 15-20 lbs, I am working at weight-lifting and cardio and basing my progress of BF% as well as weight. I eat about 15-20% below TDEE. I just want to be healthy! I also go back to work next week as a school psychologist full time and it's hard to keep up my diet and…

Oh and I'm 5'4" 144 lbs (give or take) in case anyone asks. If I do the Army Calculator is actually goes up to 32% :/ The other one is an average from this website: http://www.gymgoal.com/dtool_fat.html

Female Height: 5'4" Age: 26 SW: 145 CW: 143 GW:130 I will look through the thread later to see if I find my twin if someone doesn't find me first! ;)

I feel the same way, I have a 6 and 3 yr old. I want to lose 15-20 lbs

never made quinoa before, but now I have recipes to try! Thanks for sharing!

bump for later

thanks for the help!!:smile:

So, are you saying it's really about how you want to manage your diet? But with the TDEE formulas you are more likely to conserve LBM? Also, I noticed I can eat more and do cardio with the way the formula calculated, but I would have a smaller rate of loss that way (ave .54/week) compared to if I did heavy lifting I could…

@slkehl- your profile pic...you are beautiful!

I'm just not educated about this, but why do you subtract TDEE from your BMR? Does anyone recommend any articles that I can read to understand this better, or some can give me a brief synopsis.

I could use some more friends and encouragement as well! I've been logging everyday for about 20 days straight now

lentils

Just got the kids off to bed, and now watching Dog Bounty Hunter since nothing else is on :/

I'm interested, what is epoc?

curious as well...

I'm thinking about trying some tomorrow with italian or balsamic dressing...

I'd be interested to see how it goes for you, I always did pretty well with low carb

i will have to try this...thx for sharing!

I wake up before they do and go running or to the gym :) I'm too tired by the end of the day

diet dr pepper :)

I also have to have my daily coffee. I use light vanilla soy milk, no sweetner :)

I'm in the same boat (school psychologist intern). It is VERY difficult to keep up with it, but as someone else on here said, you will have to get up earlier. If I don't do it in the morning there is no other time in the day for me to do it, as well as get the kidsd down earlier! Maybe you will have to change your goals a…

thanks! I will have to try this

That sounds soo good- I will have to try it!

eating vegetable (green and or leafy) have fewer sugars than fruit. Many carbs you eat have sugar in them as well, so watch out for your intake on those as well. As for the 1400 calories, it depends on what you set your goal to be.
