HELP - TDEE confused as all get out!?!?!
Who out here is REALLY GOOD at figuring the TDEE stuff?? - I honestly want to understand it better - and readjust calories based on TDEE rather than the MFP default - but I've gone to a few different sites and am confused as hell. (if it would be easier to explain to me in a personal message - that is fine) I am feeling…

Had a couple NSVs this past week!
1. On mother's day - my 22 year old son - said Mom, I know I shouldn't ask, but how much have you lost? You are looking really good! - I told him the truth - almost 18# (and it is noticeable) 2. Last night we had to move all the plants inside because of a frost warning (we garden in pots since we rent) and I went outside…

back fat
I know you cannot spot reduce, that being said - what exercises/weight routines would work the area of my back so that as I lose the back fat on top of the muscles I'm in better shape. I just want to make sure I am working the right place. I hate those rolls around the bra!

Ok - just reserved a copy of NROLFW at the library
Hoping that I can make this work with the machines at Planet Fitness, because the location I just joined doesn't have much for a free weight section. Any other tips while I wait for the book to get to my local branch?? Thanks.

Just joined Planet Fitness.......Routines/advice??
Ther really isn't a free weights section in this location. Mostly the weight machines, cardio machines and two areas - 12 minutes abs - and 30 minute work out. The ab and work out are a circuit type work out. Obviously I have to get my feel for the place and what I like, but any recommendations would be great. I have about…

Progress so far.....
Well at the beginning of the year I decided that I needed to make some changes. I then weighed as much as I did when I was 9 months pregnant. This was not good. I decided to get into gear and make some changes. These two pictures are about 45 days apart and the last one was taken a week ago. I've lost 13# since the…

Setting Calories - HELP
Ok from being on the boards I think that MFP has my calories too low - so I went in adjusted some settings- I can't seem to get it to come out where it should be. Several ways make it 1200, which you all have said is LOW, so I did some research and then when I changed from 1# per week to 1/2# week it jumped over 250…

Net Calories and exercise
Ok - I need to clarify something because I am confused a little bit. I am looking for 'math' help more than anything at this time. I'm short - 5'0" - I need to lose around 25# more. I sit at a desk all day long - but try to work out for about 20 minutes 3-4 times a week, besides rollerskating with the kids on Sundays. I…

Help I have Flappy Arms
Ok - I am a 43 yo female - and my arms keep waving after I stop. I have been doing a bodyweight workout, and I can feel it in my legs, but not so much in my arms. For arm work it uses pushups and barbell rows. I think its my Tricep area that I need to work more. Any suggestions??? I eat at a deficit and am losing weight…

Booty Slide Workout
Ok - does anyone do this and do you count it as Cardio or Strength? I don't own a HRM (and can't afford to go buy one right now - so don't even tell me that is the most accurate way to determine - I know that) But I am trying to get an estimate of calories used - and can't seem to find anything. Any guidance would be great…

OMG I am so sore!
OK - I started a bodyweight work out that I am trying to do every other day and I started off pretty slow - no even getting through all the circuits 3 times. And I try to get some cardio in on the other days. Well Saturday I made it through all the exercises 3 times, like it said (Yay for me) and then Sunday I went roller…

just a general question.
Ok - as a busy mom of 5 I know that I don't get the exercise that I need. Before someone else simply says MAKE TIME - understand that I am working on that aspect to see what I can fit into the routine that I can stick with (I have learned early mornings DO NOT WORK for ME). However I have a few questions that I need some…

evening or night time workout
Does anyone out there do their workout in the evenings?? If so - how close to bed time. I am SOOOO not a morning person, but am worried that by working out late in the day it's going to keep me awake at night. (I have been trying to work some exercise in throughout my day, but just wanted some feedback on other people who…
