  • There is no such thing as "starvation mode". Creating a larger calorie deficit will result in faster weight loss. However, it is not healthy to eat under 1200 calories per day. You are unlikely to be able to take in necessary nutrients, especially if you keep this up for some time. Men are generally not advised to go under…
  • 5'7" and currently weigh 125lb, down from 177 when I started Myfitnesspal 3 years ago. In November, I'll have been on maintenance for one year! My measurements are 33"-25"-36" because I'm just naturally curvy. I am a size 2 at most stores due to vanity sizing, but just ordered a wedding dress (which are not vanity sized)…
  • Just to ease your mind a little bit, the water weight can disappear just as rapidly! I weigh myself every day and lost 1.6 pounds overnight.
  • At 6 feet and 130lb, you are now underweight, which I think you know. And it's why you're here. I realize that you were overweight before and you are probably deathly afraid of getting there again. Catching this early and seeking help is great! But you should really see a doctor. Disordered eating can be very hazardous to…
  • Congratulations on both your wedding and weight loss! I have been maintaining my loss for one year and I'm finally starting to see myself as thin. It's a huge change and a lot to get used to. Just yesterday I picked up a pair of jeans and thought "those are so tiny, they'd never fit me!" And of course, they fit like a…
  • Because it doesn't actually work. It's claiming that I had two breakfasts today, one for 400 calories and another for 350 calories...
  • Mine synced once in the middle of the day yesterday, so I was able to get the weekend and half of yesterday's data. And then it stopped. I like knowing exactly how many additional calories I can eat. Guessing makes me really anxious.
  • Mine has synced twice since last night, but won't do it consistently. I'm currently 4,000 steps behind on myfitnesspal. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.
  • Fitbit's calories burned include your TDEE, while Myfitnesspal does not. That's why your calories burned are so much higher than on your Fitbit app. Fitbit also has an annoying feature where it adds your TDEE as the day wears on. You only start out with like 600 burned, but it will increase to your TDEE by midnight if you…
  • Add me! I've got about 30 more pounds to lose.
  • Ahh yes, the Honey Badger cleanse. This cleanse is a 3 day process where you only eat badger meat dipped in honey. These two ingredients work together to cleanse all your toxins. Do not confuse "honey and badger" with "honey badger". You will not cleanse toxins this way because Honey Badger don't care. Honey Badger don't…
  • Two things helped me a lot. 1) I stopped buying snack food that I eat too much of. You shouldn't have to cut out certain foods to lose weight in general, but anything you have a tendency to binge on should be banished for right now. 2) I bring my phone with me into the kitchen when I get a snack. Before I eat it, I log it…
  • I hear you. Today we are celebrating my birthday at work with an ice cream cake. I'm going to have a piece and it will put me over my calories for the day. Then this weekend, I'm going away for my birthday. I know I'll go way over on Saturday, but it's ok. My birthday is once a year. Sunday I will be sticking to my calorie…
  • Looks like we have a similar goal. I also want to lose about 40 lbs, not necessarily by June, though. I'll add you!
  • I'm looking for motivation and support. Feel free to add me!
