So confused about TDEE
So MFP says I should eat 1700 cals a day inorder to lose 1.5 lbs/week. But when I did my TDEE calculator online it said my TDEE is 2049 and I thought inorder to lose 1 lb a week, I would need to shave off 500 cals a day for a total of 3500 calories/week. 2049-500=1549....that's quite a diff from 1700 cals (and I am hungry…

In need of motivating/supportive friends
I "restarted" this past month (after a 4 month hiatus) and really need some major support to keep me going. Fell off the wagon yesterday but picking myself back up today.

Super strong my first 2 weeks, and then fell off!
So tonite was not good....ate LOTS and all the wrong types of food. I knew at the time it wasn't smart, but the addicted side of me said, "just do it" while the other side of me was like, "jesus, what are you doing"! Feeling guilty but at the same time trying to let go. It's done, I need to pick myself up and keep on…

Took 3 months off....not proud!
So, I have fallen off track...big time. I just took a time out from tracking and recording my food...thinking, "I'd be fine...a few pounds up won' tbe an issue"! So, up nearly 8 lbs (which really isn't the end of the world) but the way I feel is way worse...just not motivated, not excersising...just plain ol lethargic and…

So I wait to lose remaining weight before heavy lifting??
I am down 29 lbs, half way! I would like to lose another 30 as well. I am interested in lifting heavy but from what I have seen, that might not make my scale numbers go down, but inches down. This concerns me a little as the number isn't the priority but I don't want to be 208 lbs....I would LOVE to get into the 180's or…

Tell me about FITBIT? how does it work?
I know NOTHING about FITBIT...but want to start training and would like to know calories, burned, etc. If I got a fitbit, do I have to pay a monthly fee to use it? (not sure where i heard that info from, I could be wrong). I did have a HRM which I liked but it's not working properly, despite changing the battery. I don't…

Havent' lost in 2 weeks!!!!
I am so frustrated! No NOTHING on the scale for over 2 weeks...the only thing i have done differently is go down in calories! I used to eat 1800 (plus 200 extra for breastfeeding). I now eat 1700 but don't always eat the extra 200 for breastfeeding. Do you think by cutting cals, that is the reason for the stall? I realize…

OMG I just binged!
I am on week 5 and binged like crazy...at least 1200 cals worth! So i went over my daily cals by 800 at least! I am so not proud...feeling sick now. I know I did it b/c my family and myself included are sick with influenza and I'm just plain exhausted. The last 2 days was difficult trying to stay on track while being…

How often do you change your goals?
Just wondering how often I should lower my daily calorie requirements? Every 10 lbs? 20 lbs? I would assume you should re-enter your weight when losing so aren't eating too many calories? What does everyone do? Right now I am eating 1800 cals a day, lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks and now starting week #3. Should I keep eating my…
