Thanks everyone. AnnPT, thanks for the well-thought-out answer. I'll take your advice!

Thanks everyone. I know that physical activity increases the amount of calories i should consume. What I’m really asking is what should my net caloric intake be?
-
Thank you :smile:

Btw, mfp changed my "bs" comment to *kitten.* I didn't realize that I couldn't curse on here. haha

zoltan's beard: This is what sucks for us. Food is our drug and we can't even avoid it, yet people think doing so is easy. Definitely not. And I understand the guilt about bad days. I feel like it's because we overeat so often and it feels ridiculous cheating when you're fat. But everyone deserves a day : ) Tara: You're an…

I'm so fed up with myself. I haven't fully logged in here (despite what mfp says lol) and I've only gained weight. I am so sick of being fat! Every day is the same thing: wake up, tell myself that I'm going to eat healthy and log my food. I never do. Why? Because this is *kitten*. I know that I love food and have an…

How's everyone doing with weight loss? I've only lost on average 1lb a week and I'm not losing every week. So frustrating, but I know it's my fault. I also haven't logged the past 2 days, so I'm doing that again. Already logged breakfast. :smile:
-
I lost 2 lbs, but this was over the course of 2 weeks. I try to eat 1500 a day and lose about a 1lb a week but that may be because I've had too many cheat days :smile: that's okay. I'm getting stricter now. How is everyone else?

You came to the right place. I love adding my calories because it holds me accountable-nothing else works. I like that I don't feel so restricted, because I can eat what I want as (within reason) as long as I'm within my calorie budget. It also encourages me to eat more vegetables. I want to make the most of my calories,…

I'm 27 and have 50lbs to lose also! i lost 18 lbs the last time i was on here but got lazy. This is a great app for people like us who need to see what we are eating. also, i like the idea of checking in here. anyone can add me

You look great and should be so proud!
-
you are gorgeous! congrats

What a handsome guy! Seriously, I feel for your regarding your ocd tendencies. I have them too, but am slowly breaking them. I think you're going to keep this weight off for good. You seem to have found a new passion for life that has made you truly happy. Congrats and good luck.

add me too! i want more support and i log in daily now.

Ooo. I love this question. I'm like lemurs (shy), elephants (empathetic), and dogs (neurotic). If I had to choose one, I guess dogs, because I'm mostly neurotic. Ha.

Thanks! I think 120-125 is a good range for me, too, so this is helpful.

Hi Jessica! There's no secret to weight loss really. It's all about calories in and calories out. That's why we're all here : ) I used to not want to count calories and would make up rules for myself so that I could cut down my calories, such as "only salads for lunch." Those rules are fine, but don't work for everyone. I…

i love motivating others and would like some friends to do the same for me. add me : )

Isn't it amazing how almost overnight our bodies change? I looked in the mirror today and saw a huge change myself.
-
Good for you! You look great : )
-
You look great! congrats

I completely understand where you are coming from. Instead of fighting your love of food, why not embrace it, but in a healthier way? -Count your calories (don't set your goal too low) and make the best use of them. If you're not really a big breakfast fan for instance, eat something low cal and save your calories fro the…

Thanks to all for your support. 30 lbs is amazing and you look great. congrats!

hi kristen! i think it's great you're admitting that you have an addiction to certain foods. this is a really good discussion. I 100% agree with the poster above me. i think in addition to realizing you're addicted to foods, you need to understand why that is. This is what I did and it might work for you (everyone is…
