    I posted this last night in it's own thread. Figured this would give you good insight on how far I've come since September of 2011...

    70.5 lbs gone since September (today I hit 135 on the nose) 115lbs gone since October of 2009

    I carry my weight in my mid area - tummy, hips, and butt.
    I currently weigh 149 lbs and trying to get to 132 lbs, which is considered healthy :-)

    I eat around 2000 cals a day. I've lost 18 lbs in 3 1/2 months, and have about 10-12 more to go, but I go by measurements more than the scale. :drinker:

    Can I ask a question? This is my 2nd week on MRP, and I'm just trying to eat well and use the calorie limit given. I am kind of confused about this thread. I get that eating too little can be counteractive to weight loss, but I don't understand some of the successful folks who are saying they "eat what they want". I feel like that's how I got overweight.

    I'm sorry if I missed some information somewhere, but I'm just wondering how to proceed here. Should I use the calorie info given by MFP, or should I use something else? Also, I am currently not exercising regularly. I want to, but I first want to get new eating habits established. I guess I'm saying that to say that I don't have much "intentional" activity outside of just normal life. That would effect how much I eat, right?

    Thanks for any thoughts... And by the way, i LOVe this thread! It's so sweet to see how many people have made big turnarounds.

    If you are VERY honest about your activity level, MFP's calorie numbers can be accurate. Usually they're conservative though. Some of us eat 'what we want' within a certain range because we're doing other things to help with our diet...heavy lifting for example helps direct your body to burn fat, even if your diet suffers some. It's STILL better to eat healthy and clean...the results basically triple...but either way, that's part of it. Additionally...while you are setting up and getting used to your diet (it shouldn't be a 'diet'...it needs to be something sustainable forever) is a great time to decide what kind of workout plan you're wanting to do. Many people find cardio easier to begin with...but if you're looking for fat loss, lifting weights is a more productive option (you can do bodyweight exercises as well...if you're on the right plan and don't want to go to the gym). Cardio is good for you in other way too though...so it won't hurt you to balance it out. I personally lift three days, and when I was doing any cardio, it was interval cardio 2 days. I don't do cardio anymore.

    Anyhow, hope that helps some!

    I know for me that I started out eating what I wanted in moderation and it wasn't working cus I had a hard time with the whole moderation thing. So I quit doing that and started trying to eat just better. That worked for me. I've recently started letting myself have things I wanted again, as long as its within my calorie limit. I do not eat anything fried, and I hardly ever eat sweets. My body has been trained for long enough now, not to eat those things, so I hardly crave them. So therefore I eat whatever I want.

    Yes, thanks. I'm eating really well, and not "dieting" like you said - I just try to incorporate lots of 'superfoods" into my meals and snacks. The only restricting I'm doing is w/ sweets b/c I LOVE sweets, and have a hard time keeping myself in check. When I feel really good about where I'm at, I'm sure they'll be part of my lifestyle too. In moderation.

    I hear what you're saying about lifting. That seems to be the word on the street. I'm going to work that into my schedule too, and I guess I'll loosen up on the MFP calorie plan when I do. Thanks again for your info!
