Girls who eat a lot, and still lose weight...

SoonToBeHealthNut

I really would love to know how this works... I have seen a lot of people who eat and still lose weight.... do you follow the calorie suggestions that MFP gives you or you eat more?

I dont think 500 calorie diets will ever work

Will you be my friend?
I'm getting discouraged by how many people I look up to on here..
that net 500 calories.
That's fine if you do!!!
It's just I want to lose fat/gain muscle
without forcing myself into starvation.
(I'm trying really hard not to be mean, again..I don't care if you net that much
I just want friends who eat more, so I can learn how to be as healthy as possible)

500 cals? Those people are crazy! They are putting themselves in starvation mode and eventually their body is just gonna say forget it. I net 1650 cals and workout 4-5 times a week. I just started and I'm already seeing some results. Don't let the crazy fool u! Add me!

I eat around 2000 cals a day and in the past year, I've gone from 29% BF to 21%. I lift heavy and run and have never been in better shape than I am right now!

You are welcome to add me. I eat about 2100 per day and workout 5-6 days a week.

Don't let those people become your role models. What they are doing is unhealthy and you know it, they know it, the world knows it. Search the forums for some major success stories -- people who have lost a lot of weight through PROPER eating and exercise. And let THEM become your role models.

Stick with those of us who don't have to resort to extremes. You can friend request me if you want. I'm all about the calories and exercising.

I have my cals at 1500. netting 500 is idiotic and unsafe. anyone can add me.

I took a look at your profile and diary. It looks as if you have done very little logging. Please start today to track what you are eating. Kitchen scales can be purchased for $15-$20 and then use dry and liquid measuring cups. Good for you for wanting to learn to eat more and hopefully healthfully, but you have to jump in with both feet. Your diary is open, but put some stuff in it Good luck!

sixpacklady

I'm trying to eat clean, eat more and be strong. If you need a friend like this send a message with your request. I can always use more friends that love food!

Same here. I eat around 2000 cals + some. I work out 6-7 days and am BFing. I will send a friend req:happy:

eb12112

I zig zag my calories and I try to never go under 1400 everyday I work out every day 1 to 2 hours. Eating more works, hence how I have lost 174 lbs

You lost another whole person!! Congrats!!

himilayaneyes

Feel free to add me. I eat about 1800 cal or more a day...then workout like a maniac to net about 1800. I log everything...the good, the bad, and the ugly.

CherokeeBabe

1500-1600 cals a day here, 20lbs to lose (lost 7 so far in a month), and I workout 3-5 days a week.

MandaJean83

I eat 1640 and work out 4 times a week! I'm often over my cals, LOL. And I'm still maintaining right near my goal weight and even slowly losing the last few. Feel free to add me!

talilakay2

1800-2000 daily still losing!

crystalflame

Adding you! I'm set at 1800 right now.

DeborahBatewell

You can add me if you'd like

chocolateweights

I am eating about 2000 calories a day, workout 5-6 days a week. You can add me.

m_shuman

You can add me. I eat anywhere from 1800 to 2200 calories depending on how many classes I have taken or taught that day and if it is a rest day. However I will warn you I am no longer losing weight just building muscle and trying to burn off the fat. I am at my goal weight so weight loss is no longer what I am working toward just fat loss and inches.

Simone_King

I eat about 1710 cals a day.

So add me..

SnicciFit

yes! I eat roughly 2000 cals a day and lost 2.9% body fat in January! Working to lose a few more...

I just want friends who eat more, so I can learn how to be as healthy as possible

I'd also like to put myself out there, looking at add friends who net the same or more calories than me so I can see how you are eating and exercising. Feel free to add me, I try to net 1400-1550.

katevarner

I'm in maintenance, so not losing, but also not gaining. I eat over 2000 per day and work out 5 days a week. I lost weight eating between 1650 and 1850 and exercising 6 days a week.

I'm around every day. Feel free to add. Diary is open to friends.

SnicciFit

You can add me! I eat, and I don't understand people who can function with crazy low net cals...I don't even really understand how people function on 1200 cals! I try to net around 1500 and will usually eat anywhere between 1700 - 1900 per day depending on my exercise.

They have GOT to be lethargic. And crabby.

Jillyfish99

I'm always eating. I eat 1600-2000 cals a day.

sdumma

I try to net in at least 1200/day when I workout, working out 4 times per week
and when not working out it's usually about 1400

Mrs_Bones

I work out a ton, so get to eat buckets. I can safely consume 1800-1900 cals per day and still be under my net of 1360, easy peasy. I'd rather workout extra so I can eat more than starve myself!

Jillyfish99

I'm always eating. I eat 1600-2000 cals a day.

add me if you'd like. My diary is open to my buddies.
