Why are you harping on her for her extreme weight loss efforts? That's not the point of this board. The point is to congratulate her. Now give her the tips to succeed. You can't change what she already did, but we can help her going forward.
Thanks but that kind of crap doesn't bother me one bit. People talk *kitten* because you are chubby, people talk *kitten* because you are skinny. It's always something. I have three kids... One of which I just had in August... Maybe that's why my weight just fell off. All I know is that I have never felt better in my life nor have I been so strong physically. I just did the Murph Memorial Day workout in 53 minutes. You can't fake that kind of strength if you are starving yourself. Haha0 -
GREAT JOB!!!!

lol you certainly seem to know a lot about the purpose of MFP...0 -

Honestly what I have done in the last four months has been more about the lifestyle change. I didn't set out for this high of a number this fast but apparently that's what happens when you put 110 percent into something.0

That is how I had such success to begin with but if you are tying to insinuate that I starved myself... You are completely wrong. If that were true I would never have the energy to workout as much as I do and as hard as I do. I am a chef so I have an awesome knowledge of what power foods are and how to get the most out of my calories.
That is awesome! Please share some ideas if you have any. I try to avoid processed foods, but it is difficult since I'm never sure what to cook or how to count the calories afterwards.
You look so amazing!! Great job!!!!

Well done its just about bang on the money of 2lb a week. Hopefully you are lifting as well to retain your lbm. Be prepared for a slowdown at some stage as it gets harder the less you have to lose. Tbf to niner he gives a lot of good sensible advice out.0

Dang girl! What an inspiration. Love that you are strong and healthy, not just a skinny minnie.0

Great job! Shows you can do it.0

I do plenty of lifting!!! It's fantastic! I have def slowed down with the weight loss but these days I focus more on how I feel rather then what I weigh. The scale went out the window a couple weeks ago.0 -
Awesome dedication! Great work, you look fantastic!

Your success speaks for itself. Well done!!
What is your plan now? Will you continue this workout schedule now that you are at goal (or are you at goal?)? Do you have a full time job? Not trying to be nosy, just wondering how you manage it all with three children.0 -
I just did a biggest loser challenge at work and lost 25.5 pounds in 10 weeks. I was eating 1400 calories a day, and hiking or doing zumba at least 3 days a week. I hope to have the same results when I hit 4 months.0

I will keep the same fitness level going and maybe ease up on my diet and not be so strict. I have three jobs and three kids so working out is my only "me time". Ideally I would like to lose about 8 more pounds but I am in no rush. I am just really happy with how far I have come0 -

Possible yes. Probable for most under 200lbs, not likely.

I keep hearing that too ... and yet my starting weight was well under 200 lbs.
I set my goals etc. to lose 0.5 kg/week ... but for some reason I've lost more than that. I'm losing at an average rate of 1 kg/week ... happy surprise!
I even manually raised my daily maximum calories after MFP dropped me to a point I found just a bit too challenging.
I do exercise every day (7 days a week), and I eat about half of those calories back. I suspect that makes a difference.cheflaurawalke wrote: »My calories intake was 1400 a day as suggested by this app. I cut out alcohol during the week and went to the gym 7 days a week taking tabata and insanity classes and doing my own thing. Plus I started running. I am 5'7... Starting weight was 187.... I didn't starve myself in the least bit. I just ate really healthy. Even if that meant making myself separate meals then what I make my family. There is no huge secret... Do work.. Get results.
I'm a little shorter than you are, and my starting weight was a little bit lighter than you, so my max calories are a little bit lower than yours.
But like you ... I exercise 7 days a week and I don't starve myself. In fact, I'm eating a wider variety of food than I did before I started here. But I'm also thinking about what I eat much more than before ... consciously deciding whether I want to eat this item or not.

Because he does this in almost every forum. I always see this name come up and roll my eyes. His way or the highway. Just ignore him. I do.
Congrats @cheflaurawalke you worked hard and got results! Good for you, stay strong stay healthy! Glad to see a big smile on your face.

I mean I think she is right. This is the success story forum not the advice forum. If she would have asked for it I could see that, but there are so many judgments being passed. All I see are negative threads lately.0 -
Well done! You look amazing.0

I am 25 starting at 221 and trying to get down to 140. I have the same calorie intake as your but I am 5'6. You have inspired me to keep going and to not give up I thank you for that. You look awesome !0
