    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @buddyfern2016 Thanks!! Very early days yet though, literally just a week into these changes. I have to stick at it long enough to get results. I am 5'3" and am 66lbs overweight (officially obese!) and just hit my 40a so I know it won't be as easy (to lose weight) as it was in my 20s. I'm...

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @buddyfern2016 I am starting my weight-loss journey on 1475 cal (500 below my TDEE) and have just (last week) started circuit training. I track every morsel so I don't accidentally go over (& I don't include my exercise calories earned back). My trick to having enough energy is to have my...

    What I ate over last 3 days

    @suzannebea1975 Hear hear! I have had two weeks off the gym due to a severe cold since the 13th (still congested in chest and nose - gah!!) And a lot of free eating of high carb/sugar foods. I've only managed to lose 1.4kg over that while time (compared to about 650-750gm a week) but I'll take...

    Vent …. I feel hopeless

    @stevensloan Tracking is key Once you understand your intake you can make a small adjustment to that to gain weight (and continue to track so you can stop close to your goal weight). Eating plenty of protein (100+ gm a day) and strength training will help you to grow some muscle too

    Opinions on calories - going from weight loss to building muscle

    @mj_1969 I've recently started following RP for the diet/cut advice and find his information great! I even watch videos that aren't relevant to my own goals because he presents it in an interesting way. Thanks for sharing that playlist!

    I’m 38. I’ve been told I won’t get to what I was even when I was 34

    @godisking27 I'm 41 and I'm feeling fitter and lifting heavier than I was when I went through a weightloss/fitness journey at 30 (and admittedly I was more overweight to start with at 40 than when I did it at 30) I am also much more aware of macros and nutrients (thanks to more awareness and...

    TDEE, Calories (Daily/Weekly), & Losing Weight

    @aventador For me, I plan my day around getting protein and fibre and the rest kind of falls into place. If you're not following low card or keto, I definitely think you should have some carbs in there. Fats are calorie dense so will eat away a deficit fairly quickly. Currently I'm eating 1730...

    TDEE, Calories (Daily/Weekly), & Losing Weight

    @aventador Make sure you're eating at least 1gram.of protein per lb of weight, eat at maintenance (or maybe 50-100cal below) and strength train 3-4x a week (heavy weights) This will help your body gain muscle and change your shape. You don't need to lose weight, you need to build a little...
