New girl needing help
Hi everyone. This is that post where the new girl needs help calcuating her tdee. Firstly, I'll take accountability and say that I used the TDEE method a while back and I fell of the wagon, so I am restarting and am here trying to calculate my TDEE and what my daily intake should be, but I'm slightly overwhelmed. So if…

Back again.
Help needed again. I have a question. Sometime back, I came to the thread and was recommended to eat 1600 cals a day. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/982026-looking-for-a-breakthrough According to the overwhelming information, I had noted that supposed I'd be netting under my BMR that I have calculated it to be…

I'm on my way to a success story
If I want to be honest with myself, I think for a good time now (a good month) I’ve been emotionally unhappy with my weight loss journey. I’ve stalled, the scale has been up and down the same couple of pounds and I was just not accurately logging anymore and binged a lot more frequent than ever before. And all the…

I graduated today!
Woohoo! I didn't officially run 5k - yet - but I'll be getting there. Still have time to practice and am a heck of a lot more than when I started. So, all in all, I feel successful. Now I'm preparing for my first 5K event. My question is: how do you prepare? My run is at 8am. I usually run in the evening after I've eaten…

So, I need advice.
Last Wednesday, as I began my W8D1, 15 minutes into it I tripped and fell. I haven’t ran since because I scrapped my knees pretty bad. Yesterday, I went for a walk, and my knee would buckle and tighten at the same time. Then I got to thinking that it was happening before my fall too, not as much, but every now at then.…

This lifestyle isn't for the thin-skinned.
They say it takes 30 days to break a habit. I've been eating healthier since October 2012. Regularly exercising since Dec/Jan 2012. To date, I've lost approx 30 lbs. You get the good, and you get the bad. The funny part is, that I like the bad more than the good. Why? Because I don't know how to take a compliment. But…

What did you do after completing C25K?
Besides celebrating the milestone. Just wondering what most of you did after completing the program. Did you keep running? Train for the 10k? half marathon? I'm currently on week 6 of c25k. But my first 5K isn't until the first week of October, so I'm wondering how to remain active so I don't lose my "mojo" from week 9 to…

Starting June 1st
Hi everyone. Well I start my JMBR journey this Saturday June 1st. I'm looking for some of your outcomes, or shortcomings. Yes, I've done my research on and off the forums here on MFP. But I wanted to hear about those currently doing the program. Is it more or less than what you expected? I've read some didn't lose much…

Provide your stats (height/weight/age/bodyfat% if you know it/etc) 5’6/157/26/30% (per average of the three sites) What's your current gross…

:(
NOOOOO!!!! My phone took a crap, won't have a phone until Thursday or Fri. I'm sorry for all the questions but I am really determined to start the c25k app tomm. I had downloaded the Zenlabs version of C25K. Does any know if I do the run tomm sans app, if I can skip day one on the app and start on day 2?

It's going down!...tomorrow!
Hi everyone! I'm new to the board group. And I start my c25k app tomm. I can't tell you how excited I am. I am absolutely NOT a runner, so I'm all ears for advice and tips. I've been reading the group a lot and have a lot to take in. But, I'm excited. And if anyone is starting the the c25k app this week, feel free to add…

Perhaps I should reward myself.
I don’t feel like I deserve to post this under “Success Stories”. Not yet. But.. Today, I decided not to wear my uniform shirt to the office (which fits me big because of my weight loss) and decided to wear something more fitting. And I’ve had many compliments and inquires on how I’ve done it or what am I doing, and what’s…

Not another calorie question Part XXXIVVX?
I know this is all over the site. The last 15 days, I started to seriously log in and be more active on the site. I've been eating a net cal of 1200 but I honestly find it difficult to eat that much. I want to do this as healthy as possible because I really want to keep it off and make this a lifestyle change. I'm about…

Pat *yourself* on the back!
You know what? Today I decided to celebrate my small accomplishments and stop focusing on that (scary) BIG GOAL! Today I'm patting myself on my back because: 1. Although I'm not at MY ideal goal, today I realized I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life! And I'm proud of that. 2. I can do a perfect lunge (or many!) 3. I'm…

Macro/micronutrients counting? Help!
Hi everyone. First time posting in the community. I've been trying my best to research the question but that can get a bit overwhelming with all the different information out there. Anyway, my question is, do you only eye your calorie intake, or do you also keep an eye out for the macronutrients and micronutrients? Is it…
