    Hi, can someone please explain this to me.

    Mine is 2129 - but I don't understand how I can lose weight on this amount when I didn't even eat that much before trying to lose weight.

    Hi, can someone please explain this to me.

    Mine is 2129 - but I don't understand how I can lose weight on this amount when I didn't even eat that much before trying to lose weight.

    Answer ............Answer....

    CONSISTENCY IS VERY IMPORTANT. OUR BODIES ARE HIGHLY ADAPTABLE.
    BUT....WHEN YOU FIND OUT HOW TO WORK WITH IT AND NOT AGAINST THE JOURNEY WILL BECOME EASIER...

    ITS A FRIGHTENING PROCESS BECAUSE WE RATIONALIZE THE FACT THAT OVEREATING GOT US HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO THERE IS THAT LITTLE VOICE THAT KEEP SAYING NO...DON'T DO IT....THAT'S WHAT I EXPERIENCED BEFORE GOING UP IN CALORIES.

    FINALLY I DID IT AND BAM !!! THE WEIGHT STARTED COMING OFF AGAIN. AS A MATTER OF FACT I JUST RAISED MY CALORIES TO 2200 YESTERDAY WHICH IS ONLY A DEFICIT OF 154 FROM MY TDEE . AND OF COURSE I EXERCISE AND BURN CALORIES. FOR SOME THEY SAY THE DEFICIT NEEDS TO BE ATLEAST 500A A DAY TO LOSE A POUND A WEEK...NOW A MAGAZINE SAYS A STUDY WAS DONE WHERE WOMAN WITH ONLY A 300 A DAY DEFICIT LOST MORE WEIGHT THAN THOSE WITH A 500 A DAY DEFICIT....WHICH CONCLUDES THE ONES THAT FUELED THEIR BODY MORE HAD BETTER RESULT ALTHOUGH SCIENTIFICALLY IT MAKES NO SENSE.

    I SAID ALL THAT TO SAY THIS....EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. WEIGHT LOSS CAN NOT BE A STRICT SCIENTIFIC FORMULA FOR EVERYONE. EVERYTHING ON THE JOURNEY CAN BE TWEAKED TO FIT YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS. SOMETIMES WE WRESTLE WITH CHANGE SO LONG BECAUSE IT ..........JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.......I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE READING IF YOUR NOT LOSING ARE LOSING AND GAINING THE SAME LBS. ......TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVEN IF YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND IT ALL. I DID...AND IT WORKED!!

    I have been eating very low cal. (about 1100 a day) and burning about 500-800 cal through working out. I do agree you should eat higher than your BMR. However I have hypothyroidism and I am wondering if that lowers my BMR. If it does then do you think I should be eating lower?

    I do it when I don't have time to read through a thread and it gets placed under "My Topics" so I can refer to it later instead of searching for it if it's not replied to in awhile.

    I net about 500 calories a day usually, eating like 800-1100 and sport, and I refuse to eat more then 1200 so if i ate 1200 would it work similarly??... ahh

    Why do you refuse to eat above 1200?

    Hi! I am new to all this. Your post is very interesting to me. I have one question.....do I only watch my calories or do I still cout carbs and fat? Right now I am trying to keep my calories low, carbs low, fat low, and protein high. I have been doing this for 6 weeks and have lost 16 pounds. Does that sound good or could I have done better on the method you have suggested?
