I'm back after 10 years. Ready to lose it again. This time I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I would be nice to have some friends to help each other along the way.

I have 109 to lose. I am recovering from BED, but I'm doing better and I will get it off.

Dollar Tree (if in USA) has crunchy rice roll, Fusia brand, which are I think 38 calories. They aren't overly sweet, but fills my need for crunchy and sweet.

I eat 1900 calories to lose 2 pounds.

Always weigh raw to be the most accurate. How you cook food affects the calorie count.

If MFP has you set to lose 2lbs per week on 1400, any more calories will just decrease your deficit and you will lose slower. More calories does not mean faster weight loss.

I will absolutely not eat celery or anything with celery in it. It's been like that since I was little. The smell alone makes me nauseous.

nothing but eggs, bleh

Trying to lose 90 pounds I gained this year from BED. My current streak is 945 days.

If you want to reward yourself with ice cream, if you can get it, try Halo Top if you haven't. I had a pint of oatmeal cookie for 280 calories. Very good.

I have MS also, diagnosed with RRMS in 2008. I know what you mean about exercise, I can't do it at all. If I get hot, it's over for the day, I am dead to the world. I also have pretty bad neuropathy and pain in my legs and hands, so that severely limits what I can do. I have seen swimming suggested since it's low impact…

At 6'5", 180 pounds my TDEE is 2300. I don't believe it a bit.

My wife's 88 year old grandmother lost almost 100 pounds, on purpose. It's not age.

Whatever healthy means anymore. I eat what I like as long as it fits within my calorie goal. I don't care how much saturated fat, cholesterol, gluten, sugar, HFCS, etc. it has, none of that matters for weight loss. I get regular blood work and I know my numbers are good.

I tried it, but when I maxed out my points for the day and it added up to 900 calories, I stopped. I added it up another time, 2200 calories. Hated not being able to eat high fat meals even though I could fit it in my calories, but not points.

I drink a lot, really, a lot. I can eat bad and be up almost 20 pounds the next day. It takes around 3 days for it to come off, mostly.

I eat at a 2k calorie deficit until I hit my goal weight. I am tall, so even at a healthy weight, my TDEE is over 2500.

Well, you are currently in the middle of the healthy BMI. 130 would put you at 21, still healthy, but on sort of on the low side. You might want to work on your composition, look up recomp. If you do get to 130 and are still not happy, then you definitely recomp.

Women should not go under 1200 calories and men 1500. You need fuel for your body for your workouts and you need to net these calories, meaning eating them back to not go under your goal.

I also have MS, however I haven't been able to exercise. I've been told swimming is good for people with MS.

Not a woman, but one of my best friends is 6'2" and she gets this all the time. She bounces around a lot with her weight, but I think she looks good when she is in the middle of a normal BMI.

I take the same and I find it easier to lose weight with it. Weight loss is one of the side effects. I find that it helps decrease my appetite a bit.

It depends on your deficit. If you can lose 1.5 pounds per week getting adequate calories and nutrition, you should be able to continue. If however you become unable to fulfill the requirements of proper nutrition, then you can evaluate your intake and adjust.

Just wanted to add that you do not have to exercise, it's not a requirement to lose weight. It's good for your body, but you don't need it to lose weight. It can give you more calories to eat, but for pure weight loss it comes down to a calorie deficit by eating foods that fit into your calorie allowance. I personally know…

I’m the opposite, I retain in cold weather. In hot weather, I lose sweat weight, which can be a lot.

I wanted to add that I am now eating all of my calories instead of restricting too much. I was eating at a 1600 calorie deficit. This has been a big part of my ongoing recovery. I. The beginning I was at a over a 2000 calorie deficit. Do not do this.

I’m on remeron which causes carb cravings, but I’ve been on this for 9 years and it’s never affected me. They don’t make you gain weight, maybe a little more hungry, but you control your calorie intake, not the medicine.

You need a minimum of 1200 calories to sustain bodily functions. This is net calories, meaning you need 1200 calories after eating exercise calories you earned. If you eat 1200 and earn 300 from exercise, you should eat back those calories to net 1200. This assumes your calories are correct using a food scale weighing…

I wrote down everyones suggestions, no matter how small, and put them in an inspirational notebook. I read this every time I feel the urge to binge. If you commented, then you helped. No matter how small the suggestion, I sincerely believed it to help.

I find that if I am going to spend calories on chocolate, I am going to buy good quality chocolate and savor it. So what if you eat half a bar? Even if you eat half a Hershey bar, that's only 115 calories (230 for entire bar). You should be able to fit that in. Don't feel guilty eating something you think may be unhealthy.…
