Am I on the right track?
There is so much confusion about 1200 cal vs. TDEE method, it's hard to determine if your doing the right thing. I am currently doing 1200 calories PLUS I eat most of my exercise calories back. I use a scale to measure out my food. I walk 3.0-3.5mph for 30 mins 6 days a week and lift 3 days a week. Doing the NWOLFW (new…

time of the day I do measurements?
I have a question, I just completed the first level of 30DS this morning but did not have time to do my measurements this morning. Does it matter if I do it this evening? Will it make a difference? Or should I wait and do it before my workout in the morning?

Which at home DVD most Effective?

Doing it for the time required (30 days, 90 days,etc.) and see…

"You are Your Own Gym" Bodyweight exercises effective?
I am just curious. I've been doing "Body by You" for 3wks. I definitely feel it when I am doing the exercises. However, I guess I'm so use to thinking if your heart doesn't feel like it's about to jump out of your chest it isn't effective. I do want to lose weight and the scale hasn't been friendly. I've been the same…

Body By You
I am on week 2 of the Body by you. I don't have money for a gym membership or "heavy" weights/barbells. The Body by You allows me to use "body weight". I am doing about 30 mins of walking/jogging on my off days. I am able to do the full 12 reps of each exercise in my time allowed intervals. I guess I should advance to the…

lost inches but gained BF???
So since Feb. 28th I lost 3 pds and lost a couple inches total overall. When I went to recalculate my BF from last time (2/28) using the same calculator (fat to fit radio military body fat) I actually gained? I went from 45.8 to 46.3??? I started following "body by you" just this week, but prior I was doing 6 days a week…

Uncertain which TDEE calculator to use?
I started MFP Feb. 1st this year. I started out doing what MFP set up for me which I believe was 1390 calories plus most times my exercise calories. ( provided by MFP) I don't believe my HRM watch from Walmart is accurate either. I worked out 5 days a week doing 30-45 min DVDs (various ones). Lost 1/2 inch and 2 pds in 2…

Am I eating enough??
I have been reading many posts, where people are using the TDEE -20-25% to lose weight. I just recently changed my MFP goals to 1.5pds a week as having at 1pd a week was not working. MFP tells me to eat 1290 calories before exercise. Afterwards with exercise it's more like 1600 calories that I am consuming. Well my BMR is…

Getting a little discouraged
I too am a little bit discouraged. I have been exercising 4-5days a week for at least the past 6-7months. Doing mostly Zumba DVD, Jackie Warner DVD or a combination of different Biggest Loser DVDs. I alternate between them, hardly ever doing the same one two days in a row. I recently about 2wks ago added 3 pd dumb bells…
