i am 44 and need to lose 130lbs. I would love to be part of this group...anyone can add me, the more support the better!

and my double chin is also killing my confidence too so i feel ya there, hate it.

i know how you feel. I need to lose about 130 lbs. really around 100 to not be obese anymore but then the extra 30 to be back where i was 14 years ago. With me i have just gotten lazy about working out (used to workout all the time) and started eating bad things and even binging at times when i felt bad for feeling…

Yes I just did not know if we could attach pictures of food somewhere on this app

bump on this topic, the weight loss coaches at Beach Body say this higher calorie level works well but I just do not see how. anyway go on the 21 day fix and a little shocked a the calorie level?

yes I researched the program a lot before I bought it and think it is a very good way to learn portion control however the calorie level is bizarre.

I would love to be added as 1200 per day is my goal too, and I am 43 years old

And I don't see net calories on my home page?

I know what bet calories is but I liked it better when it told Me my net calories rather than my remaining ones. Is there a place I can change that?

This is amazing. This is the basic plan i have to. Walking 60 minutes per day (trying to run some days), 2 days boxing at the martial arts places up the street for an hour, 10 minutes per day towards toning (light weight lifting and core exercises)...for now that is all i can do. I am also going to stick to around 1200 lbs…

i dont see the link..can you repost

yea bump again :)

wow, you lost 62 lbs in 4 months!!!!! holy cow, that is awesome. Sorry but that is amazing. did you do anything extra besides just counting calories and walking (and now lifting)? I need to lose 60 lbs pretty quick because of blood pressure and other issues and yes, i am under supervision of a doctor, but i am very…

thanks everyone. I am actually in pretty good overall shape even though i am obese because i had a trainer last year (who had me on this weird diet that was horrible and did not work...note to self, do not take diet advice from fitness trainers...). I have been pretty active even while overweight up to the last few months…

i know this whole work out as hard as you can thing is in style right now with "insanity" " P90x" "cross fit" etc. however, everytime I am going to try to do those things i hurt myself or get so sore i dont want to exercise for days. I love to exercise for mental reasons too, it helps my anxiety (i eat because of anxiety).…

Thanks everyone for all the help!

Thank you, i agree with you and the last poster as well (the one after you). Thanks for not being judgmental.

yes i have done so. I dont have a long history of emotional eating or binge eating. Just recently but i do need help losing weight. I do think the calorie range is not right as to why i even started this thread.

you are being mean. Do you know my coach personally? My coach is helping me be motivated by loving myself enough to work on my issues and helping me focus on my goals. i think my coach is good. what i am starting to realize from this thread is that this forum for the most part (not the nice and helpful responses) is "all…

i am sure it has been, but your comments are condescending and discouraging for somebody who does not yet know how to navigate this forum. I am sure my question has been asked 100 times but I am asking it according to my personal needs. One size does not fit all in answering people. Keep this in mind and be kind.

Thank you for such a nice and helpful answer

thanks. i guess you think i am stupid as that is how you talk to me. I have not mastered this yet and just am asking for help. I can tell by your statements that you think you know all about it and are being flippant. well, some of us are beginners at this and when i am asking for help, it is because i want help, not some…

this is a little harsh. I know about 5 apps that use net calories (it started years ago with livestrong site....it was before this site). since this trend started i literally do not understand if you need to eat back exercising calories or what. i know that sounds dumb but in the past when i had success at losing weight…

i am under the supervision of a medical doctor. I do need to lose weight faster and the only reason i got this coach was to help with the mental part of it which i need very badly.

Well i DO need to lose weight faster than the normal person because of health reasons and i refuse to get weight loss surgery. I tried TDEE before and it is too slow. What do you guys recommend? I love MFP...dont want to journal but will have to to work with this coach (so double entry, but i can do that)...i would like to…

that is what I am questioning is the calorie range, otherwise their view is awesome (the mental aspect). that is why i am on here questioning it (only the calorie range). their view point is losing weight is just math and that all the products in the world cannot change that is is ONLY math but they also teach you about…

okay so this is more of a mental coach, somebody who is helping me with my emotional eating issues. Yes I agree that i should not take nutrition advice from them and they say upfront they do not offer than but more of emotional support once per week but the only thing that stumped me was the 1200-1400 range and also not to…

well the coach is great because they break it down in simple terms.... both of the coaches (women who own the company) lost weight very quickly without even exercising in saying weight loss is just math and nobody can argue with that. I just like to exercise and like to log it as it makes me feel good about myself (that i…

yes i know...that is the part about it i am not sure about. I am sure I will lose weight at that level but knowing me i will be starving. i love the coach and MFP so not sure what to do.

no the coach is not using the TDEE method. They are using the eat between 1200-1400 calories per day method and dont log exercise...."losing weight is just math" so they do not want me to log my exercise as they say the apps are confusing and if you eat back your exercise calories you will not lose weight as fast. they don…
