Fit2Fat and Back
I'm sure many of you have read or heard about this but I just came across this interview from ABC and thought I would share. It's interesting . . . http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/fit2fat-back-weight-gain-journey-16495854

How Much Body Fat Can I Lose In a Year?
So I'm currently 195 lbs with 54% body fat. I'm wondering, is it technically possible for me to get down to 26% BF by next October 1st and do it in a healthy way? The reason I ask is because my friend is 26% body fat and training for an Iron Man and I sort of bet her I could do it without having any idea of whether or not…

Why am I losing so much weight?
According to HeyBales spreadsheet, I should be losing about 1 lb of weight per week; however, last week I lost 3 lbs and the week before I lost 1.5 lbs. Although I'm thrilled with my progress, I'm concerned I'm losing muscle. Female 40 years old CW: 198 (when I calculated the spreadsheet, but 195 now) height: 64 bodyfat:…

Bod Pod Sadness
So I went to the Bod Pod today. I started MFP 6 weeks ago and wanted to get a good baseline to make sure my calories were right. I did the Bod Pod 13 months ago. Then, I was 8lbs lighter and my BF was 49%. I knew I had gained a little weight since then but I have been strength training for the past 6 weeks and I hoped it…

Check my Calories?
There are a number of different calculators to figure out BMR. I used the calculator that uses BF% (linked to in the "in place of roadmap 2.0' post). By that calculator, my BMR is 1380. Height: 5'4 CW: 200 BF%49 I am hoping that because I have right at about 60lbs to lose that I can get away with a little higher deficit…

Hunching
So when I look at myself from the side in the mirror there is a big curve in my back, making me think I'm not standing up straight. Looks like I'm hunched over but even if I try to straighten my back, it doesn't really fix it. And it's not even hunched over. It's like the opposite of hunching. I need to lose 60 lbs. Does…

Overwhelmed by the Thought of Free Weights
I joined MFP two weeks ago and since that time have been consistently working out, tracking my food, and eating to my calorie budget. I decided to focus on the following for my exercise plan: strength training 3x a week, walking my dog 4-5x a week and possibly HIIT on my rower 2x a week, but only if I feel like it. My…

What is the point of exercise?
So I've been reading about the whole 'you need to eat back some/most/all of the calories you burn exercising'. I know this is a controversial topic. This makes sense to me but then what is the point of working out? Is the purpose of working out not to burn calories (like I always thought) but more to gain muscle and…
