A lot of people (including myself) will eat back some percentage of the exercise calories but not all. This is largely because estimating the calories burned can be difficult (it depends on the exact physical exertion which is only estimated on calorie burn calculators like here on MFP). I usually eat back 50-75% of my…

Not only have you got this, you'll be shocked how quickly it goes by. I've lost nearly 60lbs so far with no sign of stopping until I hit my goal of 75lbs. It seems incredibly daunting at first, but just focus on mini-goals (e.g. getting into that next 10 pound bracket of the 60s, then 50s, then 40s, and so on). It you look…

5' 10" with a goal weight of 145, so we're in similar situations. I'd say our goal weights are on the lower end but still not nearing being underweight.

Where it gets tricky is if you want to restrict your calories and build muscle, which is difficult and requires a really large amount of protein that it hard to achieve without guzzling lean chicken breasts all day. Here's a good article covering this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24092765 I'm also a strength…

I'm 22.5lbs away from my goal weight, having lost 43lbs so far. It's going so slowly now but I'm starting to wwitch things up, mainly focusing on really increasing my exercise and being sure to not be slacking with logging every little thing I eat (no more 'this extra bite won't hurt!' ;)

I'm a long term East African expat, too!! It's amazing the weight you put on here. The conventional meals are so calorie dense, which makes sense when you're busting your *kitten* on a farm or collecting water around all day, but pretty bad for someone doing what is mostly an office job. I've just resigned myself to the…

A large bunch of my weight is grief weight, as well! Death can be so excruciating and difficult to cope with. I'd be happy to be your support buddy!

That's rough! I had one of those moments a couple of months ago when I had just turned 30 and my doctor said I'm hypertensive (blood pressure too high, mostly from being over weight). We can still get this under control, though! MFP has been wonderful. I've been on here for 7 weeks and lots 14.5lbs. It takes commitment but…

You can do this! I've been finding reading about everyones tough journeys helps a lot, it's nice to know we're not alone. I also love looking at the progress some people have already made so far. If they can do it, we can do it too! :)
