Question for the veterans - calorie counting
So , I have been wondering lately, how do you guys approach the whole "how many calories to eat" thing? Do you guys calculate tdee based on current weight and then eat at a deficit and then shave off more calories as you lose weight? Or, do you eat the same number of calories the entire journey, and then up it a little…

I feel fat!
I have been on this journey for 5 months now, and I have lost 35 lbs so far. I eat within limits, I workout daily, I get in 10k steps almost daily, and yet, for some reason,I don't feel good. In fact, I feel "fat". And, it's quite ironic that I didn't feel fat 35lbs ago, but now I do. I can see how huge my clothes are. I…

I shall have the last laugh!!
I'm sick and tired of people exchanging smirks when they look at me. I am tired of the veiled insults; the pointed looks, the blatant staring. But every time I remember somebody's nasty response to my appearance, I push myself harder during my workouts-- I do another burpee, add a pound to my dumbbell, add 5 more minutes…

exercised 6 days a week and gained 2lbs?!
So, I exercised 6 days this week and took at least 10,000 steps daily. I have a food scale and measuring cups and spoons, which I used when I ate and I ate about 1200-1300 calories daily. Stepped on the scale and I have gained 2lbs this week!! The only possible explanation that comes to my mind is that I'm on the 2nd day…
