10 weeks on MFP and 51 pounds lost

good for you. sorry you are getting grief but remember. big people encourage others to succeed big. small people try to tear down others to their size, and I'm talking big hearted & big spirited not weight wise. the haters pretty much tell you what they are themselves.

That's fantastic! Keep up the good work. I lost my first 67 lbs. in 3 months before I joined MFP. in August. My body underwent a major transformation once I went low-fat, low-carb, high protein, and added a lot of veggies. It's like going through a fat detox once you change your eating habits and start to exercise. Congrats! I wish you success on your journey.

YEAH-I want to know what you are doing to lose because it must be different than what I'm doing. Either that, or you have an awesome butt kicking metabolism......

Fantastic job... people all lose weight differently.. what ever you are doing you are getting results... keep working hard and you will succeed.. you are already seeing results... dont mine people who got nothing else to do but be jealous... jealousy is a nasty way to be.

Good for you! Whatever you are doing, its working for you and that is the most important thing for you! Keep it up you can do it. I learned awhile back it doesn't matter what you do, with all the "experts" on this site they are going to say something. so do what works for you!

LMAOOO

Since you're averaging a loss of 5 lbs. per week, that means you are creating a caloric deficit of 17,500 calories per week. If your maintenance calories are 3,000 per day (21,000) per week that would only give you 500 calories per day to eat. Am I close? Or, are you exercising and burning thousands of calories per day?

No. Here is how Im doing it. (Im using the ELMM plan)

Week 1. eat 2500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
Week 2. eat 2500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
Week 3. eat 2000 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
Week 4. eat 2000 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
Week 5. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
Week 6. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
Week 7. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
Week 8. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
Week 9. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
Week 10. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.

Workouts are 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes each and are treadmill or stationary bike. I shed between 600 and 900 calories at each workout. Im eating low fat, high protien, high fiber foods.

From your ticker I would guess that you had a substantial amount of weight to lose. You are doing very well!! Congratulations to you!! It must feel wonderful to have dropped so much already. Keep up your hard work and dedication!

The folks who are not believing you, or come across as being angry, are likely thinking that you are doing this in an unhealthy manner. The way you state you are eating sounds quite healthy to me. That's what I'm doing, minus the high protein. It is working for me quite well, and obviously working for you too. Best of luck to you as you continue to find your inner, healthier, slimmer self!

Congrats, don't listen to the haters.

First congrats.

You have stated you have a lot of weight to lose but have not given your starting and current weight. That is probably why people don't believe you. It is like watching "The Biggest Loser" The 400 to 500 pound guy will be loosing 8 or more pounds a week for several weeks in a row. Someone who only weighs 250 could not maintain it. It is not the number of pounds it is the percentage of body weight.

Well done!!! A friend of mine was morbidly obese, she weighed 320lbs and she was losing about the same as you per week to begin with - your obviously doing something right!

goldenday
