I agree with what you say about stress. Counting calories is a tool that is meant to help, although for some it can cause stress. Depends on what one eats. I eat what I like, but with counting calories I just eat in moderation. Plus I do interval walking everyday, along with my giant ball for my situps. These things help…

Sorry double post

Is this similar to the Walk of Weight Program?? Because I am a fall risk do to my lower back surgery in 2004, I need to be able to do my walking on a treadmill. I looked at the program on the internet, and it is more like dancing. Does she have any actual interval walking music that is around a 2/3 speed on the treadmill??

I just love the first sentence !! "You will discover bones you forgot (or never knew) you had." Awesome !! The same can be said for muscles also. You sure can discover ones you never knew you had, like "Why does it ache there? Is there a muscle there? I never knew that." Way to go wateryphoenix!!

I am 63 and recently purchased a treadmill. It is an in-expensive one, and the reason I purchased a treadmill is like everyone has stated, you can do more with it. I tried one of those tread climbers, and no thank you. I cannot freely swing my arms for one has to be holding on. I use a small light weight for each wrist, it…

I alternate between cream of wheat and grits every morning. Cream of wheat has 235mg calcium, 11mg iron, 3.83g protein, 24.15g carbohydrate, and B1 and B2 totaling 60 micro grams. Here is the source it came from. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/health-benefits-cream-wheat-4399.html

I purchased the program some time ago. It is still out there though. It comes with a great cookbook with some awesome recipes. It also comes with the music for the Basic Interval, Chutes and ladders, Roller Coaster, and Pyramids. All of these come in 30 minute and 40 minute. The chutes and ladders are my favorite. You…

This morning at 7am I did a 30 minute interval walking routine to music on the treadmill using #2 and #3 with no incline. I did the same this afternoon at about 1pm and will do so again tonight about 8:30pm. I am new, just started on February 13, and doing this 3 times a day I have lost about 4 pounds already. I have 50…

I take about 4 good sized boneless skinless chicken breasts and slice them into strips. Put them in the slow cooker with some chunks of onions, chunks of celery, chunks of fresh carrots and let simmer overnight. First thing in the morning add some bok-choy including the leaves and brussel sprouts. Then use a package of…

I want to thank everyone for their input on my question. I finally found the Step by Step Guide concerning MFP and learned a lot including the input here on this thread. I will keep my cal intake at 1200, and understand that the more I exercise the more cal's I need. I will probably eat some of these back and log them in…

Thank you !! I will have to try that. I plan ahead of what to fix for dinner the next night, as we do not eat fast food, no restaurants, and no junk food. The closest to junk food we get is a tropical trail mix. Usually I even make my own energy bars. Peanut butter is, almonds I cannot chew, and I have never tried…

It makes sense. A body needs at least 1200 to operate properly. One does exercise and looses some, then has to get the intake back up to 1200. I am just not use to eating that much. I am still full from the tossed salad and home made milkshake I had for dinner.

So according to what the food section is telling I need to eat 114 calories during the next half hour, I go to bed at 9pm, so that it basically keeps my cal count at 1200.

I think I will do both and see how it goes. Thanks for the tip!!

Okay. Now I understand. It took a while to get it. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

So another words, I have this 1200 cal diet so to speak. I burn off say 200 calories, and then I have to make up those calories by eating more. Is this a correct example?? Otherwise I have to lessen my activity level that I listed that I did for the day. Is this also correct??

What is the tdee method??

I am not eating less than 1200, it was just a figure of speech so to speak.

Thank you. I have never walked on a treadmill before. I just call it the treddy for short and I really like it. I hold on with one hand so I can swing my other so that the tracker can tracker my steps.

Thank you for the reply. That is kind of silly in a way. Maybe I will not log in my exercise. Will that help keep the intake at 1200 or less??
