TDEE Method
I apologize for the many questions that I am about to ask, so please just answer what you are able to. I appreciate it! I was wondering how switching to the TDEE method effects your body.

Plateau
How do I know if I've hit a plateau in my weightloss? And if I did, how do I get out of it? For the past 3 weeks or so, I haven't lost any weight. I haven't been gaining either, just maintaining. I haven't changed anything in my diet or exercise, but the weight just stopped coming off. I appreciate any help or advice…

Eating Back Exercise Calories
What's the point of eating back exercise calories? I understand about net calories and how you don't want to go into starvation mode and all. But, if losing weight is just calories in vs calories out, what's the point of burning calories if you're just going to eat them back? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of burning them?

Healthy Calorie Counting
I did a lot of research last night, and was trying to make sure I'm eating the proper amount of calories. If I understand right, I am not. My goal is 1200 a day, and then I eat back my workout calories. But, my BMR is around 1500, and my TDEE is around 2000. If I did the math correctly, I should be eating around 1700…

Eating Back Workout Calories
I have a question that may sound a little dumb, but I just want to be sure. My calorie goal is 1200, so I know that I have to eat my workout calories back in order for my net to be 1200. Over the summer, I plan on working out more and burning more calories, so am I supposed to eat ALL of those back? I know that if I…

Confidence When You Hit Your Goal Weight
I'm looking for people's experiences when hitting their goal weight. Do you feel more confident than you used to? Are you happy with the way you look? I'm curious to hear what other people say. I've lost 25 pounds, and my goal is to lose 50, so I'm halfway there. When I look in the mirror, I can see the difference and I'm…

I Need Professional Advice
I know that I have already posted a topic very similar to this one, but I'm not getting the right answers. I tried looking it up online and I found absolutely NOTHING. Please read and give the best advice possible. I'm very confused. Basically, I only lose weight when I don't exercise and eat 1200 calories a day. When I…

Is My Goal Reasonable?
I started my weight loss goal on March 3rd. My plan was to lose 50 pounds by the beginning of September, so I had 6 months. So far, I have lost 19 pounds and I have 4 months left to lose the other 31. Is that reasonable? My weight loss has been slowing down a bit. I'm looking for facts or opinions, whatever will help.…

Confused About How the Weight is Lost
I started my weight loss journey on March 3rd. I have lost 19 pounds so far (My ticker says 18 because I put in the wrong starting weight). At first, I was losing 3-4 pounds a week, and now my weight loss has slowed to 1-2 pounds a week, which is reasonable and understandable. The part that is confusing is WHEN during the…
