Women with 50-100+ lbs to lose?!

MFP SW: 257.8
CW: 218
GW: 140

I just started today. I've lost weight in the past but I gained it back before reaching my goal. This time is different. Yay.

Starting: 230.4lbs

Goal: 130lbs


Add me!

I still have 79lbs to lose, lost 30 upto now, Can i ask, what loss rate you have set? Im sure i read here that if you have over 75lbs+ you should set it to 2lbs per week, 40lbs to 75lbs 1.5lbs per week?

Being a bigger girl the 2lbs per week loss at 1280kcal is staring to wear very thin, i just dont have enough kcals for 3 good meals and a couple of snacks.

I could carry on but im not sure if to up my cals decrease my weekly loss rate. Im scared if i do this i will gain weight? because it adds like an extra 200 calories a day.

can anyone offer any advice? or plans on what they eat for 1200kcal?

I am set at 1 pound a week and have trouble eating all the calories recommended. I have 73 pounds to lose yet. Maybe try adjusting to 1 pound a week, most weeks I lose more than 1 pound.

I'm at 15st 5lb now
I've just started MFP and its weigh day tomorrow
My goal is 10st (140lbs)

Just started. Soooo current weight is 171. Goal weight is 118. I'm short, so 118 is supposed to be ideal for my height. I'd like to lose weight quickly, but in a healthy way. Thus, I'm trying to change my eating habits all together to more healthy options, low-calorie fruit and veggies. I'd rather have more long term changes, anyone have any good tips?

Do NOT try to lose quickly. You need time to adjust to a healthier lifestyle, whatever that means for you. And you need time to adjust to your body as it changes. It's been over a year for me and I'm glad it took that long, otherwise it would have been too confusing. And even so, I've had issues with all the comments about my loss/body. Give yourself time. Come up with a sustainable food plan. And above all, be kind to yourself.

Curious. Do you mean bad issues with positive comments about your current thinner body? Do you feel better about the compliments now? I would love to have people complimenting and noticing a loss. It is a huge accomplishment. People likely mean no harm. But I do know there are people who are uncomfortable with attention to weight loss changes.

Feel free to add me everyone. SW 204, CW 187, GW 150 to start and then might go for another 10-20. Just started 35 days ago.
