Actual Scale Victory...I think
Hi All - So I upped my calories on Sunday after running my numbers using the fat2fit calculators...and went from 1200 to 1764. And then attempted to return to the gym following an arm injury....well that was shortlived and I think I am out for another week or so. All of that being said, I stepped on the scale (every day --…

Nervous Newbie
Hi Everyone - So I have read through a variety of posts & have decided that upping my calories makes sense. So according to Fat2Fit's BMR calculator - I should be eating 1800 calories. I have decided up my calories from 1280 to 1700 for this week and then up to 1800 starting next week. I have some Rookie Questions: 1. How…

Going over in Daily Calories
So...how do you handle this? Do you plan on burning extra calories at the gym the next day to make up for it? Summer is very social time for me and with dinner plans and lunch meetings, etc....I will go over some days and be under most days. Any advice would be appreciated....
