Okay 1120 to 1147 in calories.........
What is your Maintenance calorie Line?
How long does the NROL session usually last?
I want an eyeball view of your deficit......is the reason for the questions
I don't beleive we went over this, but the last time I checked it was right around 2000, then, taking off 500 would be about 1500 cals. I was posting on sparkpeople, but then due to pc issues, I still can't post there, so now I'm on fitday. Sparkpeople gave me a goal of 1400-1700 cals per day, given my cardio and weights, but that has all changed. The last time I checked it gave me a range of 1200-1400 cals.
Use the formula below and tell me what you come up with for your MT Line....use a multiplier of 1.55
Step One : Calculate your BMR with the following formula:
•Women: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
•Men: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Step Two : In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
•If you are sedentary : BMR x 1.2
•If you are lightly active: BMR x 1.375
•If you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 1.55
•If you are very active (You exercise daily.): BMR x 1.725
•If you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 1.9
Best wishes to you.......

Ok, Step 1: 1366.2
Step 2: 2117.61 (using moderately active - wasn't sure about that - use that or very active, since I workout 5 days/wk)
1120 to 1147
Mt Line with 1.55: 2117.61
Projected calorie deficit if using 1147 intake from the MT Line of 2117 is: 970calories.
========================================================
NROL 45 minutes 3x per week.
Cardio.....I assume is 5 days? or on rest days? You werent clear on this.(how long per session?)
Manual labor: 5 days per week?
=========================================================
Best regards,
Chillen
Cardio is 5 days per week. ML is 5 days per week. Cardio is 20-30 mins. What is the deficit and what does that mean for me?
970c approx deficit (I understand you present 1147 is just prior to dinner) with a multiplier of 1.55 (now, the 1.55 multiplier approximation is compensating for the activities of NROL, cardio, work, etc)......However today is Saturday.......and......your not working, nor doing NROL, or cardio, and THUS.......your calorie requirements,,,,,,LOWER.......
Thus in my opinion, you need to DROP the multiplyer, one peg on the weekends for lack of activities to compensate.....to 1.37.....
Therefore during the week use the 1.55 multiplier blanket.....on the weekend, drop it slighly to match inactivity.....and to keep your deficit with +/- the 500c range.......
Therefore TODAY use the 1.37........eat dinner in accordance with what you know......and keep your restriction........
With keeping a -500c deficit with the 1.55 during the week, and the 1.37 on the weekend and -500c deficit, and when you consider NROL, cardio, and your manual labor........this SHOULD equal WEIGHT LOSS.
Do you understand where I am coming from.....I can try to explain it better if you want.......

If you play tug of war with these calorie figures.........you will lose weight.
I have a slight problem with lower the multiplier on the weekend (RECOVERY), however, your activites do in fact lower, and its true you calorie expenditure is in fact lower than it is during the week.....and this makes sense.......in the calorie area.....to compensate for this inactivity (I have done this sort of thing with my own journey (alot different, but same theory)...and this (WORKS!).
Glad I could assist you tonight!.........
Let me know when we can talk

The Rules for Being Human
You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a fulltime informal school called life.
Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."
A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive there are lessons to be learned.
"There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
Your answers lie inside you. The answer to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
This will often be forgotten, only to be remembered again.
==========================================================
YES BABY...........Read that TWICE!
Best wishes to you!

Are we what we think, lets see:
The thoughts that you think, regarding those things that you want, set into motion the creation, and eventual fulfillment, of that which you want. And likewise, the thoughts that you think, regarding those things that you do not want, set into motion the creation, and eventual fulfillment, of that which you do NOT want.
The thoughts that you set forth in combination with great emotion are the most powerful of your thoughts.
Understand that all thoughts create -- and the more emotion that is present at the time that a thought is set in motion, the faster the creation will be received -- and as frequent thought is given in any direction, without the hindrance of negative thought, there is certain creation, eventually.
Your emotions are not from your physical world. They come forth from the inner world and are directly communicated to you from your Inner Being.
As you are feeling positive emotion - such as love, peace, happiness, joy, excitement, exhilaration ... it is your Inner Being communicating to you in that moment that you are feeling the emotion - that your thoughts are in harmony with that which you are wanting, As you are experiencing negative emotion - such as fear or doubt, anger, hatred, jealousy, stress, guilt, anxiety .. it is a communication from your Inner Being telling you that in that moment - that which you are focused upon is not in harmony with what you are wanting.
A belief is nothing more than a thought that you have thought before, that you continue to think.
Your thoughts are powerful creators, and your words are even more powerful than your thoughts, but your actions are more powerful than your words or your thoughts.

Beth-additional food for thought:
You need to stop defending your perceived weaknesses and give more offense and attention to your strengths. You spend far too much time explaining your weaknesses which in turn gives additional strength to the very thing you want to get rid of.
If just 10% of the power that you give your weaknesses could be carrried over to your strengths, you could improve your inner being.
While we should all know our weaknesses---we should not give them the power to control.

Thank you for all the support.
You are so right - about everything! I focus on the negative far too much and I know that. I have to think positively that I CAN And WILL make the necessary changes once and for all. Minus the bacon I had this morning, I started my new plan very well. Today is a rest day for working out, so tomorrow, I plan to start with gusto.
I will be doing about 7-8hrs of manual labor tomorrow, in addition to some sort of cardio and then weights. Looking forward to all that fresh air and work!Thanks, Hon!
Ok, so for today's cal target, it's just over 1500. I may not eat a snack, since I had the bacon and I ate breakfast late, so it may not matter that I am decreasing the cal target.
One positive thing I have noticed lately is that I am not craving soda as I once did. I now crave my Propel! I love that! I just finished one and already I'm thirsty for more! YAY ME!
