    I am not sure I can do 100lbs in 10 months but anything is better than the nothing I am doing so far! Thank you for starting this group. I am in!

    why a timeline? I have lost 140lbs, maybe 80 in the first year, then the body slows down. This has to be a new lifestyle. I think it is better to go at a moderate pace so the body and mind have time to adjust. Sometimes things that happen quickly or easily, end just as quickly. Good luck!

    mini goals 20lbs at a time, may be something more acheivable, and they add up.

    I am trying to lose a lot of weight as well. My goal is to lose 2 pounds a week. It adds up to 8 pounds a month which sounds good to me. Lets do it! In one year that's like 96 lbs. If we end up 100 lbs lost by December 31 great ... if we lose 80 or 75 by December 31 that IS BI great too!! We can do this!

    Can someone answer this question for me as I've been unable to find the answer. When using myfitnesspal, can I eat whatever I want and still lose weight as long as I stay with daily calorie recommendation?

    i guess the technical answer is yes, but the realistic answer is no.

    think about it as how much bang you can get for your buck. if you are allowed to eat 2000 calories a day and a candy bar has 200, you could technically eat 10 candy bars a day and lose weight. but your nutrition levels and health would be in the sewer.

    now say you take those same 2000 calories and eat healthy foods; vegetables, fish, chicken, etc. you would still lose the same amount of weight, but your nutrition and health would be outstanding. actually, you'd probably lose more weight because it would not be that easy to eat that many calories if you were only eating healthy. can you imagine how much salad it would take to reach 2000 calories? lol

    so i guess you can, but it would be one of the most unwise decisions you could make for your own health.

    I do believe I will join u. A dream come true. If only......perhaps this time with support of MFP friends, doing it together. 2014 was a year from hell, in many ways. I just know 2015 will be stellar. Reach for the stars and might end up on the moon. how to join?
