me me me! i need the motivation of seeing how others are doing

How tall are you? Your weight doesn't sound bad at all, and you say you are not overweight. So I don't see how eating 1700 calories will help you lose weight if you can barely eat 1000. It seems you don't need MFP

Eww. That would be like drinking brown water

So you like exercising. Yippee for you. We get it.

i made a similar post earlier this week about eating two large chocolate bars and feeling disgusted with myself. the people here were so helpful and told me to log it and carry on. so thats what i did, and this week has been my best week yet. so just put it behind you and do better tomorrow. we all have moments of weakness!

i beg to differ. a little fried food here and there aint BAD

and yet thats exactly what your'e doing. cant take it but you can dish it hey?

i sense op is a troll...

kids nowadays, so full of knowledge

Listen, MFP does not want you to become unhealthy/anorexic in the name of dieting. you might think eating below your recommended calories is good, but it's not. MFP is about lifestyle change, not crash diets. hence the warnings in red letters. its not going to applaud you for undereating, because thats not a healthy…

aw u people got me motivated. cant wait to be hit on again. hasnt happened inover five years :(

thank you everyone for the reassurance. two chocolate bars will not stop me from reaching my goal. its true that i had the 'bad food' mentality, and there's something about forbidden fruit being the sweetest. everything in moderation is the way to go from now on. i did my exercises as usual and i'm ready to get back on…

my elliptical tells me i've burned 140 calories in 30 minutes.

newbie here too! looking to lose 60 pounds. am a stay at home mom to a 16month old, who's as naughty as a puppy anyway so yay! things in common, lol

thanks everyone! so much great advice on here. i'm trying my best with the calories but i've gone overboard everyday so far :(, but since i'm only starting i guess its expected, i can adjust accordingly once i know what the culprits are (carbs!!).

Oh yes i forgot to mention that i am on a reduced calorie plan on MFP. I meant that on the exercise side of things, is it sufficient for weight loss in conjunction with the diet?

sorry, i'm new here. but i've see this "person above you" a lot. what does it mean?

i made banana muffins last night. like why would i consciously mix together ingredients, turn on the oven and make muffins?
