@mandamommy - How did you lose so much weight in one month? My profile is set to lose 1 pound per week. On most days, I am very under my daily net calories. I don't know what to do if I am not hungry and I burned over 1000 calories in one workout. I don't want to overeat but I am worried I will get to the starvation mode and not lose any weight. I am new to this site - only a member for about 1 week. I want to lose a total of 50 pounds. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Not eating can really stall your weight loss. Try to eat all or most of your calories each day…If you're not hungry it generally means your metabolism is slowing down.

It really depends how much you have to lose altogether. I've lost about 12 pounds since October, and am four pounds from my goal weight.

I'm going to go with the previous poster on this one.

The whole premise of this site is to run your body at a very specific calorie deficit to lose weight at a specified speed (2lb/week for me). I've tried "eating less" and hurrying up the process, and for me it's counterproductive. I can't build up the energy to work out, I tend to be hungry and tired all the time, and I burn fewer calories in my daily life, leading to as vicious a cycle as overeating.

You CAN undereat your way to weight loss, but it's no fun and you'll have a much greater struggle keeping it off. This from a guy who has weighed 280, 220, 240, 250, 220, 230, 210, and 230 in the last decade by undereating or massively exercising and going about weight loss through unscientific guesswork and misery followed by congratulatory overeating and regaining all I've spent so much losing, but dreading exercise and "dieting" again because I hate them so.

This time, I'm doing it scientifically, and this site is helping me a lot. I'm taking the time to do it right this time, following the site's recommendations as closely as I can, and this time I'm going to get down to a healthy 200 or below, and I'm going to stick around and count calories for a while to make sure I'm establishing myself into a healthy sustainable food plan once I'm down where I need to be.

If I work really hard, I can lose 15 pounds a month. I've lost 7 pounds so far this month and hope to double that before the month is over.
For me, the more I workout, the more I lose. My body responds really well to working out, but not so much to just eating less.

I lost 13 pounds my first month and 7 pounds my second month. I'm in my third month now I am mostly losing 2 pounds a week but sometimes just 1.

10 in the first month, and not a whole lot after that....yet

Raina27

You don't loose any of it...

I average 7-8 pounds a month, but I know It'll become less as I continue to lose.

I lose about 10 pounds a month, I have mine set a 1.5 lbs a week. Even if I exercise I still eat 1200 a day. I drink a lot of water also,

Since January, I have lost 5-6 pounds per month. My goal is 1 pound per week.

It really depends on your body and what you have to lose. I've been part of mfp since december and it has really helped get my eating under control. However, I am bfing and have only lost almost 5 pounds since then (so... about 5 months meaning a pound a month). I am seeing changes in my body composition and starting to really get my exercise into gear and so we'll see how that goes.
