5 weeks ago today, I joined My Fitness Pal. A FB friend mentioned she was on here and so I decided to check it out. That first day, MFP told me that if I kept eating like that first day, I would weigh 172.7 --- I am thrilled that in the past 5 weeks, I have lost 20 pounds and I do indeed weigh 172 today. I am looking forward to what the next five weeks has in store for me.

:heart: :smile: :heart: :smile:

I am so happy!! And I've lost two pant sizes so far!

    Wow! That's great! Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, are you sticking to the 1200 cals MFP recommends a lot of people or are you eating a diff amount?

    I've mainly been just following the caloric requirements that MFP set for me. But a while back I read a book called The Schwarzbein Principle written by an endocrinologist and so I try to eat the way she recommends as far as what I eat. I also started doing Teresa Tapp's exercise called T-Tapp. It's a 15 minute workout that uses targeted muscle activation to help get the metabolism working more correctly. I don't know, but it makes sense to me. And it seems to be working for me. So far.

    MFP has me at 1320 calories and that is what I am eating, but I do eat back my exercise calories too.

    Thanks for sharing! I've recently upped my cals in the past few days and have been really pleased with my losses. I've been shocked when I step on the scale and it's gone down because eating more than 1200 cals feels weird to me.

    Congrats again on your loss!

    I think this is the greatest diet I have ever been on. I lost 7 lbs in 4 weeks because I want to lose it slowly. But when I signed up it said 1 lb per week. So I am very happy and as you said , looking forward to the next 4 weeks to see what happens. It is not just a diet it is like a game.

    Keep up the good work.
