This is my freaking life right now, and where the weight is coming off my body isn't where I want it to. I feel like I have this inner tube of stubborn fat around my belly that's clinging on until the last possible second!

I like this calculator. Obviously there will be some variation. I'm currently testing its accuracy for what it thinks I will weigh in July (my bday) based on the sedentary setting.

I haven't been to SDCC, but I have experienced the same thing with the cons I do go to. Just bring your own stuff but don't flaunt it.

I'm on r/loseit quite a bit and my experience is that the community overall is pretty against starving yourself. I constantly see males being told there to never go below 1500. But there are always going to be those people who either don't know or think it's a good thing to be so low, and will share their opinion.

What @tigerblue said. I'm 5'2" and 131. Eating at 1200 not only feels fully satisfying for me (as long as I'm eat the right foods) but gets me a loss of less than a pound a week. Obviously 1200 isn't right for everyone. It's great for me though. I'm not always perfect lol, but my diary is open (I think) for anyone who…

I chose 125 because the last time I was close to that (3 years ago I hit 128 before gaining again) I felt pretty good with how I looked, but like I definitely needed to lose just a few more pounds. So this time I'll aim for 125 and then reassess.

Feel free to add me. I've got 6 lbs left to my initial goal, probably 10-12 total to go.

This is why I wasn't losing weight when I was "eating healthy". I never realized how many "healthy" calories and alcohol calories I was consuming. Everything is fine in moderation as long as it fits your calories. Count everything (even the wine).

I feel like the odd one out. My eating habits have never been different based on my period, but I hear women talk about this all the time.

There will be no working out getting done today lol.

Yes! I'll be spending my day finishing up some cosplays and playing the Destiny expansion that comes out today. Anyone should feel free to add me. I'd love to have more geeks on my friends list. Also, you guys should look up the FitGeeks group on MFP.

Hey I'd love to have more friends on here interested in anime and cosplay, so anyone should feel free to add me. I'm in the home stretch of losing for a con this weekend. We'll see what happens at weigh in on Thursday, but I'm feeling pretty good! I'll be cosplaying Shiro from No Game No Life, Dokuro Chan from Bludgeoning…

My fitbit says that today I burned 1417 calories. Maybe I'll get in a couple hundred more before bed at most. There's definitely a reason I'm eating 1200 most days lol.

You can check out if there are any fitness meetup (meetup.com) groups in your area. I know there are lots near me with many that have a focus on finding workout partners.

Anyone can add me too =] Im finding MFP to be so much different this time around now that I have friends on here!

I've got 6 lbs left to my initial goal, then I think I'm probably going to shoot for another 5-10 pounds after that. Anyone can feel free to add me =]

I'm doing 1200 but I'm also only 5'2" and down to 131. Eating at 1200 for me is eating at less than a 400 calorie deficit based on my TDEE. I'm losing no more than a pound a week tops on a good week. If I ate a lot of junk I would probably feel like crap on 1200, but I love to cook my own meals and have lots of protein and…

I'm going to cold stone today and I'm going to get the like it instead of the love it size ;-D I just treat myself occasionally. I'd rather have a really delicious sundae every couple weeks or whatever than a small amount every day, but I don't personally crave sweets every day.

Maybe say something along the lines of, "thanks for your concern, but my doctor has approved my diet and exercise routine".

Just commenting to add my personal positive endorsement to what is growing into an awesome group ;)

Yay! =]

My TDEE is less than 1500 calories, so I'm eating 1200 a day. 5'2" and 133lbs.

@FitGeekery have you considered creating a geek group here on MFP. It seems all the geek related groups I could find were older and not very active, and there seems to be a lot of interest in this one thread.

Hey all, thought I'd jump in as well. My main geek interests are anime and video games, though I love fantasy books, game of thrones, Harry potter, etc. I'm trying to lose about 10 more lbs to what I think will be my goal weight, but we'll see. A big motivation for me is definitely so I can do some of those cosplays that I…

I count calories but I still largely eat what I want. I just eat the things I want more sensibly. I eat one or two slices of pizza depending on how high my count is for the day instead of half the whole pizza. If I know I'm going out to eat or to a cookout or something, I'll eat small healthy meals for my other meals that…
