Hard to find time to exercise?
Right now I find it a bit tough to find enough time to exercise. I usually try to exercise at least 4 days a week. I work full time and I'm still attending high school as well. I'm home schooled so I work around my job. I either work in the mornings to the late afternoon, and when I get home I go straight to school until…

What to do, going on vacation soon?
During the first weekend of November, I'm going to be on a "vacation" of sorts. It'll be from Friday night to the following Tuesday afternoon, and I'm worried sick. My aunt and uncle are taking me sight-seeing for a few days, and then I'll be spending a couple days in a hotel. I'll be on the road for a few days and I'm…

Can't help but to feel like I won't lose?
I can't stop feeling like I won't lose unless I exercise 5 - 6 days a week. I currently follow the In Place Of A Road Map plan, eating a 20% cut off my TDEE, lifting for 30 - 40 minutes 3x a week, and only doing walking for cardio, about 30 - 40 minutes 2 - 3x a week. I'm so used to feeling like I had to exercise 5 - 6…

Another TDEE question
Alright, say my TDEE is 2050, so at a 20% cut I should be eating 1640 calories a day. That's around 400 less than my TDEE. If I burn like, 300 calories with exercise, that puts my calories at 700 less than TDEE. That's creating a rather large deficit for someone who only has about 20 pounds to lose. So should I eat back my…

My TDEE is 2050 calories.....
Since my TDEE is 2050 calories and I'm making a 20% cut, that puts my calories at 1640. That's how much I'm going to try to eat per day, but MFP suggests I eat only 1500 after I log my exercise. Do I still eat the 1640? And, do I eat 1640 on days I don't workout, or do I just eat like 1200 - 1400?

How much weight per week should I aim to lose?
I'm 145 pounds and 5'3". I want to be about 118 - 123 pounds. So I have roughly 20 pounds to go My current exercise is lifting weights for 35 minutes 3x a week followed by walking for about 45 minutes 3x a week. I eat 1600 - 1700 calories since my TDEE is about 2000 - 2100 calories. Should I have MFP set up for 1 pound, or…

Is it bad that my net calories are under 1200?
So MFP has me eating about 1390 calories as my default deficit. When I add my exercise, it's about 1600 - 1700 calories. Right now i'm at about 1400 calories, but my net calories are still under 1200. Only by less than 100 though. Is this bad? My exercise isn't very intense, just weight lifting for 30 minutes and walking…

Net calories?
I'm not sure how many calories I should be netting per day. I eat roughly 1500 - 1700, just depending on the day and my workout is this: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I do weight lifting for 30 minutes. I do it more like a "circuit" routine where there aren't any breaks between each exercise. And then afterwards I'll walk…
