I have to take in 900-1000 calories a day to lose .5 - 1 pound a week. Been walking 3-4 miles a day and trying to balance 1000 calories and end up losing 1 pound a month. I am 5'2" 173. Everybody's body is metabolism, I know mine sure is. Good luck! Just try it for a few weeks and see if what the doctor says is right. But…

Have you worn one? How many steps did you take in a day? Just wondering! I am 66 and when I started I could barely do 5,000 and it is a LOT of work for me to get 8,000 - 10,000 steps in a day.

Me too so I use weight watcher points http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/calculators/ww-points-allowed/ this is where I figured my points and then I use http://www.calculatorcat.com/free_calculators/weight_watchers_calculator.phtml to calcuate my points from MFP. Hope this helps you.

Thanks I've got it syncing now!

I got my Garmin to sync with MFP but I walked 5000 steps and it showed on MFP I only burned 23 calories. What's with that?

Thanks! I was hoping it was something like that!

I can't seem to get this calorie and fitness thing together at all. I am on 1200 calorie. So I have been taking in 1000 calories and walking 3.0mph for 50 min and losing no weight. Am I not eating enough and have my body in starvation mode? I am totally at a loss!! I thought the less calories I took in and the more I…

Lost 1.2 lbs this week! After being stuck foreverrrrrr

I've been on this low carb 20 and under for 20 days today. I've lost 11 lbs so far. I weigh in Monday mornings and am pretty nervous about tomorrow even though I've been right on within the limits. But it's working I can feel it!

My easy grab to go is 2 slices of Landofrost roast beef mustard squirted on top with string cheese rolled up. Usually have a dill pickle on the side.

Hello! My name is Loretta I am 65 years old and from eastern Ky and have been married to the love of my life for 47 years. I have been on this woe for 20 days this time. I have lost 11 lbs. so far. I am doing 1,100 calories, 5% carbs, 20% protein, 75% fat and have stayed on it consistent. I weigh in on Mondays. I am having…

Thank you so much!

I am also looking for friends but want friends that are on the 20 carb a day diet so we can support each other. I leave my diary open so I can get any input needed to setting my goal.

Is anyone on the 20 carbs a day?

I am also looking for friends that are on a low carb 20 a day diet to help support each other.

I am doing a low carb diet. 20 carbs a day and 1,100 calories. Everyone is on a different diet on here it seems. You can look at other peoples diary and it will show you what they are eating. You may just want to cut down your calories. Just write down on here everything you eat and let it be a guide for you to get started.

I did the low carb diet when I was a lot younger and did good.Have put it all back on in last few years due to stress eating. Think I'm getting it under control again.

Yeah for you. I weight in tomorrow for the first time since using MFP and being on low carb. I am so excited but yet so nervous. You are doing great...hang in there!

Thanks guys! Got my setting right now and onto day 4. Still doing great! William what I'm going to try to do is start with low carb to boost my metabolism and then slowly switch over to calories. Fingers crossed!

Thanks! I was going to do the carb thing until I got to goal and then just watch the calories and stick to it. I've yoyo'ed so many times in my life...got to get it right this time.
