TDEE questions...
Ok, so I have been very hesitant about eating my TDEE calories because it just seems so high to me! But I am diving in and changing it up since I haven't been losing lately! So I have a few questions... 1) have you eaten lower calories and it didn't work, then changed to TDEE and lost weight? 2) I don't eat back exercise…

32 days down!
Today marks 33 (not 32! sorry!) days into my MFP life, and I am officially 15 pounds down! (41 total since the very start, about a year ago) I didn't weigh the past few days because my choices of foods weren't the best from the holidays (although I DID keep my portion sizes small!)... but I couldn't take it anymore this…

Does this sound right?
I have been doing great the past month with my calories and stuff that MFP has assigned me... I have dropped 14 lbs in one month, having 1800+ calories a day, exercising 5x a week for an hour and a half a day. Well, I went for my check up at my doctor and she lowered my calories to 1500 a day. This seems odd to me. Isnt it…
