If you are getting that message, then you are logging 750 cals less than you are actually eating if you are losing 1.5 lbs not 3.

Me too! But I always liked the old Diet Coke with Lime too.

This! I intuitively ate 3/4 of a box of Wheat Thins Monday night.
-
Can I just say, that is quite an accomplishment! You should be so proud and feeling so much better! Keep up your weighing and logging - even if your are losing slower, you’re still losing!

I let mine auto-track too. I assume the Fitbit calorie amount is the adjustment over my NEAT rather than the entire burn from OT. Here’s my chart from tonight. Interesting how even though I had more time in the orange, i burnt fewer cals (even though I weigh more) because my “max” heart rate is so much lower since I’m 59.…

Sundance says sorry to be joining the party late but he was busy napping all day

Isn’t that always the case?

2015 - 267 2017 - 170 Obviously posted backwards!

I’ll admit to some forum stalking because this thread has been bugging me all week. OP has had WLS which seems to have contributed to her demonizing of food and then judging others’ choices.
-
It was on one of the MFP blogs the other day. You slice previously cooked potatoes and toast them. Sounds interesting but a lot of work when a piece of bread is 60 cals.

Are they drinking it? If they stay in a deficit, shouldn’t be a problem 😂
-
Yeah, luckily I didn’t take much of the Fen because it was expensive. I think I only did it for about 2 months - it was because my younger sister was getting married that I went to such an extreme. Of course, after I hit my low weight (which is my current goal weight), I weighed that for exactly 1 day before starting to…

Hey now - I’ll be 60 in 2 weeks! I started this last weight loss effort Jan 2015 at 56 and 267 lbs. With only a 1 lb a week deficit, I lost about 60 lbs the first year, then 30 lbs the second year, and have been going back & forth on the last 8 for 1 1/2 years. As you noted, the time is going to pass anyway but I do think…

I’d also make sure it isn’t designed to sell you on WLS - cynical, I know but hospitals make a lot of $ with bariatric surgery these days.
-
My first (and last) Keto diet was in 1995. Of course, it also involved phen-Fen, 500 cals a day and $50 a week to the diet doctor. Those were the days!
-
Repeat after me ... there is no wagon. There are days that you log and stay at your calorie goal. There are days you log and maybe go over your goal. There are days you don’t log and have no idea how much you went over. Every day is a new opportunity and decision for you to make. You don’t have to “eat healthy” - whatever…

I like to do a York Peppermint Patty with my afternoon coffee - around 100 cals I think.
-
Why would Pepsi or Coke (big food companies) care if we buy regular or diet versions? Same $ for them. Your last points, I won’t even bother. Others with more scientific knowledge I’m sure will weigh in.
-
Same here - thanks! Hope you’re “recovery” from the weekend is fast!
-
Maybe you need to spend less on your hobby instead of sacrificing nutrition?
-
I did enjoy partner night but I did slack on the squats. The rowing was great though. I’m just getting up and it’s my first day feeling sore either from back to back days or working harder since I’m getting more into it.
-
Is it one of the “alternative” metal styles line Titanium or Serinium? Double check with your jeweler. Many companies that make those type of rings offer a exchange program - for a fee of around $100, you can exchange for a new size if needed.

How did it go?
-
It’s not my body - it’s my head. I’ve been at my OK weight for over a year with the last 20 to go. Once I can wear M/size 10, the last 20 aren’t as critical somewhere in the back of my subconscious mind I guess. It is a victory that I’ve been able to maintain my 98 lb loss that long (never really done that before) but I…
-
Obviously, we’ve all been capable of eating that much over daily maintenance or we wouldn’t have become overweight. That’s why it’s important to look at the big picture. Without that perspective (which MFP has given me), I wouldn’t be in my 3rd year of losing (with plenty of maintenance months in there) with less than 20…
-
I think that’s the greatest victory - also that you saw the big picture and are just carrying on - no “starting over” or “back on my diet”. This is how people who aren’t overweight manage their diet (noun) day in and day out. Great job!
-
Rule #1 - don’t discuss your weight loss process with others. It’s your personal (for want of a better word) journey. Rule #2 - don’t just eat salads then. Eat what you normally would (within the constraints you may have due to your surgery) just less of it. This should give you a much more positive outlook and hopefully…
