I am done with soda! I am quitting today!!
Yay! I bet you'll soon see the scale dropping lbs just by this ^^ change!0 -
This is my down fall....trying to stop drinking coffee and soda! I was drinking sugar free sweetener, but the other stuff was sale! (No excuse just the truth)
You don't need to stop drinking coffee. You just need to stop drinking it with sugary sweeteners and high calorie creamers. Try a splash of unsweetened almond or coconut milk and use a natural calorie sweetener like Stevia or Truvia.0 -
I WILL make this work. I do want to be around for my loved ones. I really cannot tell you how grateful I am for all the responses. Your advise will be taken!!
Fixed this for you. (Took out the word "try"). You've already received great advice, so nothing more to add. :flowerforyou:

I never use to be a coffee drinker. I used as a replacement for the Mt. Dew I was drinking in the morning. But if I do drink coffee it will be with those ingredients mentioned. Thanks!0 -

Thanks....I have done this before (8 months without a drop) and never lost a pound. But willing to do it again!!0 -
I am not working right now and I cannot afford to buy the things I need, I know it sounds like more excuses but it is my reality. Same with food at the moment. Circumstances aside, I WILL try to make this work. I do want to be around for my loved ones. I really cannot tell you how grateful I am for all the responses. Your advise will be taken!!
You don't need to buy anything special. If you have to eat the food available to you then eat less of it. You can lose weight eating nothing but Twinkies as long as you stay in your calorie budget. Not being able to afford certain items is another excuse.0 -
Your BMR seems high for desk job, but what do I know you could be 6ft tall?! lol
If you aren't 6' tall then I would use a formula that takes your bf% into account because lean mass is more expensive calorie-wise to maintain
I foung my BMR was a lot lower once I factored in my bf%. I think it's the katch-mcardie (or something like that) formula.
LOL....Nope I am 5'4" (64 inches) and I don't work.
You don't work? I can see how you may feel compelled to eat out of bordem, but you should use that time to get out of the house! Can you start a veggie garden in your free time - burn calories and get low-cost, healthy veggies in return?
I love junk, but you HAVE to cut it. Switch from creamer to whole milk, 2%, 1%, then skim. Switch to artificial sweeteners.
Cut out soda and switch to flavored seltzers.
Every time you're too lazy to log your food, ask yourself if getting in shape is something you really want. You need a change in your brain first!0 -

Alright, but I am staying under now and not losing either. So which way is it? Ugh, so confusing and it is not an excuse, more like I am telling you the truth.0 -
You seem like a very nice lady, so I hate to question your honesty, but do you really tread water for 90-120 minutes? That's an awful lot of work. I don't think I could do it for more than a few minutes myself. If that's a typo or an overestimation, you are "earning" a lot more calories than you should probably be consuming.0
-
You have no real idea if you're staying under if you aren't logging everything for at least a few weeks.0

No I do not work right now (medical reasons) I am in the middle of moving (long story) pm if you really want to know. Thanks for your comment!0 -
You have a lot of weight to lose (according to your ticker), therefore you can severely restrict your calories for months and not harm your metabolism. You can safely go down to 800-1200 a day. Perhaps try a juice fast for 21 days and see how you feel. The first 3 days are the hardest, after you get past those 3 days it gets a lot easier and you'll start seeing the results you want.
Before going this route talk to a nutritionist to set a plan for you. You want to make sure you are getting all the nutrients you need, but I think you'll be happy with the results at the end of the 21 days.
I wouldn't go this drastically, especially since you seem to really love bad foods and soda's but the calculators get really skewed when you get into the range of morbid obesity so your BMR and TDEE will show higher than they really are. You don't need to eat to feed the fat.
As the previous poster stated though, being morbidly obese allows you to go much much lower on your calorie intake without doing your body any harm. You have plenty of fat stores for your body to draw from for energy. Even if you went down to 1800 calories a day total, forget adding exercise in at this point, you'd be fine but it needs to be nutritious food, not soda's, pastries and junk food. Changing from Mountain Dew to orange soda only eliminated some caffeine not the calories. If you must have soda then switch to a diet brand and start cutting back.
It's totally possible for you to lose a lot of weight very easily if you put the work in. Until you get your mind in a place where you are willing to pass up some of your favorite calorie bombs though it isn't going to work.
Keep in mind that weight loss is at least 80% diet and 20% exercise. No matter how much you exercise, if you come home and eat a half dozen donuts you've wiped out all that effort. Look at exercise as a way to get healthier and fit rather than a tool to allow more food.
I am done with soda! I am quitting today!! Along with all the other junk. My question to you is....I have this problem with not eating. For example, today....I haven't eaten a damn thing and I don't feel like eating either. Is that bad? I do this a lot, don't eat. And then when I do eat, I eat crap or one meal a day. Ugh, what is wrong with me??
First, please don't take the advice to severely reduce your calories from a total stranger. Only a doctor should give that kind of advice. A 20% reduction from your TDEE is perfectly healthy and you should be able to lose with that much of a deficit.
Second, yes it's bad that you're not eating. You don't have to force a whole meal down your throat if you're not hungry, just start trying to eat small things throughout the day like yogurt or fruit or a handful of nuts or a small serving of oatmeal or a smoothie. I used to kind of do the same thing. Figured since I wasn't hungry in the moring I might as well not eat then by the afternoon/early evening I'd be starved and eat everything I could get my hands on. For some people eating times don't matter but I think you're more like me where "grazing" or eating small frequent meals, might work better for you. And eventually your system will get used to it and you will start getting hungry earlier in the day so that it won't feel like a forced eating. Either way, it doesn't hurt to try it, right?!
Third, I hate to discourage you from your excitment but I'm not sure it's necessary to completely clean up your diet in one day. I know for me, that just makes things worse because I still want the foods I love and I might be good for a week or two then I cave and eat everything. How about being a bit more realistic and set a goal for every week. Go ahead and give up soda this week (I totally support that, drinking empty calories is a huge waste in my opinion) and then this weekend plan out your meals for the week and go grocery shopping so you can set your other goals like eating healthier, less junk, etc. Small gradual changes will be easier to stick to.0 -

You need to eat most of your daily requirements EVERY DAY. And you need to eat several times a day (3-8).

Hi
I have just returned to MFP half a stone heavier than when I last logged in some months ago :mad:
My fault entirely I got complacent and lapped up those "you've lost nearly 3 stone and look great" comments, what I forgot was that I still had another 2 and a half stone to lose.
Tracking daily, I had no excuse not to unlike you, made me realise what to eat and what to steer clear of - not always the food that you would expect!
Personally exercise was a great asset for me, I have back and neck problems but walk on the treadmill (never run) and use a recumbent exercise bike - it also helped me tone up as I lost, the Swiss airball (or whatever you call it) was quite fun too.
I wish you well, although a MFP user for quite a while I usually use the app so am really pleased to have discovered the community area now.
Good luck with your journey, it won't be easy but give yourself small goals - even though I have put on a bit of my loss I am still lighter than this time last year and have had to buy some summer clothes in a smaller size :bigsmile:
I am assuming that you are in the States so sending you positive thoughts all the way from sunny London!

Thanks and yes I do! I love the water and I work very hard in it. I am either playing with the kids in pool throwing balls, chasing them, hauling them around, laps (small ones), frees-bee, exercises I researched online, kicking for minutes at a time, and more laps. I am never just floating around. I am moving the whole time.0 -

Thanks Mo! You made me smile!! I am in the states, Hello London hope to visit there someday and see a Tardis! LOL0 -
Firstly, you don't lose weight through exercise. It will help you look and feel better, but really, to drop the pounds you have to concentrate on your diet.
This! You lose weight in the kitchen, you get fit in the gym. Weigh, measure and log every single bite that goes in your mouth.0 -
I didn't read all of the replies, so apologies if this has been said already. If you don't have internet access regularly, log your food in a notebook. While you do have access, look up the nutritional info for the foods you eat the most and keep that on hand when you are tracking on paper.
Track your food regardless of the method.
I have 80 pounds to lose and do very well when I measure and track honestly.0 -

Changing from Mountain Dew to orange soda only eliminated some caffeine not the calories. If you must have soda then switch to a diet brand and start cutting back.

Thanks, I can all day and just forget to eat LOL. I will do small changes and meal planning is something I must do. If you only knew how much I have already cut back on, you'd be shocked. I will continue on my quest with all this great advise! :happy:0 -
My BMR is 2018
My TDEE is 2422
My daily Calories should be is 1937
Normally I'd say eat over your BMR (BMR - Basal Metabolic Rate - is the calories your body needs just to function, so you typically don't want to eat under this). However, your BMR does seem high to me (Mine is 1870 and I'm a 200 pound guy). I think you could get away with eating between 1800 and 2000 calories and you'd probably be just fine. If you feel really, really hungry or tired, go up to 2100 or so. Just be sure to stay under your TDEE in order to lose weight.
2,000 calories is a lot of food in a day. You will definitely not starve.
Again, it's simple math... if you eat 2100 you'll have a 300 calorie deficit every day - 2100 calories per week. A pound is 3500 calories so you'll lose a pound every week and a half or so. If you burn 200 calories on an easy walk every day, you'll have a 500 calorie deficit each day and lose a pound a week.
There are several problems with not eating. The biggest is that you will eventually get really, really hungry. I don't know about you, but if I'm really, really hungry and you put a box of donuts in front of me - it's OVER! If you eat a small meal every 3 hours or so, you won't be hungry and you'll feel a lot better - you'll have more consistent energy throughout the day. Consider 6 meals of about 300 calories each - that's an Egg McMuffin or a Subway 6" Turkey sandwich every 3 hours throughout the day.
Hope this helps!0 -
You seem like a very nice lady, so I hate to question your honesty, but do you really tread water for 90-120 minutes? That's an awful lot of work. I don't think I could do it for more than a few minutes myself. If that's a typo or an overestimation, you are "earning" a lot more calories than you should probably be consuming.
Your %BF makes a huge difference in how much work treading water is. The higher the %BF, the more bouyant you are.
That said, the standard test to be allowed to go swimming in the deep end at my old summer camp was to tread water for 60min. I can't remember any kids who failed, and there were plenty who were not fit and were not great swimmers. Maybe your technique is not very efficient - the goal is to move as little as possible - or you have very low %BF that makes it exceptionally difficult for you?0 -
Don't eat back your exercise calories. MFP way overestimates calories burned, so if you are eating them back, in all reality you are going over your calories, even though it says you aren't, because MFP mis-calculates this (which is pretty normal). Also, eat healthy. You said you don't eat fast food every day... Don't eat fast food AT ALL. It has almost no nutritional value, and is just loaded with fat. If you want to lose weight, it takes more than exercise. You need to eat healthy too, and track all your calories, literally everything, even drinks.0

Honestly, I haven't tried to tread water for more than a few minutes since I was in swimming lessons close to 30 years ago. Now that I think about it, I could probably do it for an hour or so, but I can't imagine doing that unless I needed to. It seemed an odd choice of exercise for the OP. She is logging 800+ exercise calories a day and I suspect that is not quite accurate.0 -

Did I misread her post or did she reply that she is "playing frisbee and carrying her son around"? This is NOT treading water. Also, unless you're wearing a HRM during exercise, I wouldn't feel comfortable logging exercise calories unless they were reduced by about 30% (I'm no expert of course).0 -
What the posters above said is true - not logging foods or eating below 1200 calories (if that's why your log shows gaps) will hurt your body's ability to lose weight.
You have set your daily calorie goal to 2,322 now after you had it set to 1,500. How tall are you and how much do you weigh now?
I'm 6'1"/1.86m and weigh 275lbs/124,9kg right now, and to lose 1 1/2lbs a week I need to stay below 1890 calories a day, and that's mostly because I'm really tall! If you're shorter than me, then your goal needs to be lower or equal to mine depending on how much you want to lose a week.
That said, DON'T over estimate your calories burned! MFP's values are quite off by default, so if you overestimate how much you burned by several hundred calories and you eat those calories back, you're not eating a deficit of calories. I've heard that walking is the only exercise MFP has that's relatively accurate (which is the only exercise I currently do) and I still am careful to eat only about 50% of those calories burned back just in case.
Thank you for your comment. I am 5'4" and weigh 306 as of today (weigh in days are Friday) How do I know what calories I have burned if not through MFP?
Get a heart rate monitor. That's the most accurate way of determining how many calories you burn doing various exercises. I swear by mine, it has taken my fitness to a whole new level.0 -

I was kind of thinking that myself. To me, treading water for 120 minutes means two hours of being suspended in the water, using arms and legs to stay vertical, not touching the ground at all. That's why it sounded like an odd choice of exercise to me. Playing in the pool, while great exercise, is not the same as treading water and probably burns fewer calories.0 -
You need to log everything you eat, everyday. Also, Also burning over 1000 calories fairly consistently is hard to do. Are you sure you log your exercise correctly?
17 lbs is nothing to overlook. Just keep it up.0 -
When I was my heaviest (275lbs) I was hardly ever truly hungry, I ate because I wanted to or was bored. I decided to log everything I ate one day (not on MFP) and realized I was drinking my calories and eating so bad, I thought I ate alright, not the best I knew it could be better but thought it was ok. I cut the soda and found that my hunger increased, now I don't know if this was a fluke or not, but I also found as I cut sugar my craving for it went with it. When I want something sweet I found fruit to satisfy it for the most part. Like others have said, make small changes, ones that are sustainable over the long haul. Slow and steady wins the race.
I suggest taking the word diet out of your vocabulary, a "diet" is a short term thing, the goal here is to get healthy and STAY healthy to be around for your family, true? So this NEEDS to be a life style change. I applaud you for taking the steps and reaching out, and unlike so many who post here for help you seem to be receptive to the help and not defensive.0 -

I tried to find to the swim exercise that was close to what I was doing. And, I might add, we (meaning my grandson and I) spend a ridiculously great amount of time in the pool and I am not resting for very long I make sure of that. I find this is the best way to accommodate my injuries to my back, knee and ankle being low impact and all. I also put in less than what I spend in the pool for the fact that I did not how accurate it was.
I tread water in the deep end of the pool, I am there more than I play all the water activities (which are done in the pool) MFP only offers all of the activities together. I once was in the pool for 3 hours swimming, playing, and resting. That has to count for something ppl right??0
