    There is a MFP group: Losing 100+ Pounds Naturally (No Surgery) if you are interested :smile: I have over 1/2 my body weight to lose too (I started at 306lbs and am only a short lil lady). I try to drink lots of water, but I don't deny something if I really really want it- I just try to do moderation. If I denied myself I would crack and end up stuffing my face with chocolate. Also I am trying portion control. Don't feel guilty about eating 'bad' stuff now and then! Best of luck with your loss!!!!

    You could probably eat between 2200 and 3000 and still lose weight. You don't need to cut down so low. Going too low is going to make you feel lousy. If you want to stick with it, you need to find a level that is tolerable but still in a deficit.

    Thanks for all the advise and help. Problem with calorie counting you feel guilty for eating something not clean.

    They you're doing it wrong.

    You don't have to eat clean to lose weight, and you certainly shouldn't feel guilty over food - it's just fuel after all.

    "Do you know if lifting weights puts weight on the scales ? Been doing both but only lyrics lost 2lbs this week" - use "lighter" weights and more reps (10-15 reps per set), which should assist in burning fat, and in building muscle

    In the middle of January, I met a 200 pound man that last May weighed in at 340 pounds. It can be done. He was passing through the weight loss center set up by my cardiologist.

    I started that night on my program. I needed to loose over 60 pounds. I have lost almost 35 of those pounds. It is a diet program that is closely supervised by several cardiologists and your personal physician. I don't want to say much about the diet here since anyone in such a program needs the medical supervision to keep it safe.

    I wish you well on your journey.

    If you strengthen big muscles groups, they will more efficiently burn fat. So the scale may slow, but you'll be burning fat way faster and exercising won't feel so difficult (not to mention everything else too).

    Personally, I wouldn't have you eating less than 2000 calories (more if you exercise). I'm the same height and 200lbs and eat more than 2000 calories.
