Awesome job on your weight loss! You are such an inspiration and I don't know if this has been asked previously but I know many people say slow and steady wins the race but is there such a thing as losing too slowly?
In the past five months I have only managed to lose 25-30 pounds. Its also my second time around of trying to lose the weight and the first time I lost between 40-45 lbs within five months. I know they say if you're a yo yo dieter, its harder each time you try to lose weight again. Is that why I am losing slower this time?0 -

You're so kind to keep coming back here and answering questions. I'm struggling with the last 15 lbs of the 70 I wanted to lose. Not because I'm not sticking to my calories but because I like how I feel when I eat more and lose weight really slowly. My workouts are much better and I just generally feel better eating more. I feel as though I've discovered the fountain of youth or something.
In December I pretty much managed to maintain with being sick for over two weeks and then the holidays of eating more and exercising less. I'm wondering if going back to my routine of 5 workouts a week and a 15% deficit will get me there more quickly and if I'll still feel strong and healthy while I do it. I do really hard workouts and crave the energy to get through them.
I guess it's not really a question, just a thought process.
Mostly just wanted to say how much I admire your efforts here to help others!0 -

I'm still in the beginning stages. How soon did you start seeing results? How did you get through the frustration of being stuck (I'm assuming you did at some point in the beginning.) You look awesome!0

Hey I had a question because I tend to get a little OCD trying to figure things out.
Currently I'm 300 pounds. I'm a 24 year old female and I'm 5'8"
MFP put my calories at about 1710 per day for 2 lbs a week. However, my TDEE is 3100 or so. My BMR is 2100 about. Should I be eating my BMR amount or lower than that- like 1710 as MFP suggests?? Also, if I eat the amount (1710) that MFP suggests, on days I work out should I eat back my exercised calories?? Or just eat 1710 or 2100 consistently? I usually workout for an hour 4-5 days per week.
Thanks for the help! And you look awesome. Super sexy!0
