I have given my nicer clothes to my daughter, but my graphic tees, I kept. Plus, there's one pair of jeans, that are so worn and comfortable, now exceptionally big, and I love to wear them. I love baggy clothes and when I had the weight, nothing was ever baggy. I just tighten the belt. Although my son keeps yelling at me…

What you are feeling is ENTIRELY normal, I myself wrote a similar post two months into my journey. I was frustrated because I was inspired by a friends MFP journey and she seemed to have the weight melt from her. When I posted my similar post I, too was told I was eating too little, or was I weighing my food.... I wanted…

It's different for everyone and that will baffle me forever. It's all about what works for your body. For example. A friend and I both joined MFP to diet together, she lost her goal of 70pds, me I achieved my weight loss goal of 40 pounds. We both have maintained for a year. I eat meager healthy meals, watch my carbs, fat…

Amazing job. Great message!

The advice I have been given is tremendous and inspiring. Some of you posted amazing words of encouragement. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am going to take the advice of not expecting much as far as weight loss (Aim for .5 week) and most definitely not have such a caloric deficit. I honestly thing I am miserable because I am trying…

<y goal is to get down to 122. That was always a good weight for me. The last time I did MFP, I did well, NEarly made it but put it all back on. I was exercising a ton back then, and a pulled groan muscles stopped me. What do I see when I look in the mirror ... FRUMPY. I have a gut from sitting and eating and not moving,…

You're so right!

THANK YOU GUY SO MUCH. If my TDEE is 1424, then I need to come in under that to lose, right? I really appreciate your support, this is a bad day for me and this helps.

BMR and TDEE? Gonna say no, because I don't know what that means. I will look into how I measure those. 1100 calories is low and I did read an article that someone had to up their calories to lose weight.

I use a food scale, I am very meticulous about weighing items. The only time I don't weigh is when I consume,let's say a single serving of popcorn, I'll scan it.

I'm in. Please add me too

FYI - I like my men large, John Goodman (Roseanne Days) Large. Unfortunately, I haven't found him yet. But, yes, I am on my way to being a little trimmer, and I still will want my men large.

I fell off the wagon and am back on. My weight loss goals are small but they are concentrated on my mid section that suffers from perimenopause blues lol. I am really taking it serious now, especially after someone asked if I were pregnant and that was the launching motivation.

So sorry to hear you are struggling. Just you being worried about it shows you are ahead of the game. Remember when your daily life revolved around that eating disorder? I know I never was concerned and I didn't think ANYTHING was wrong with me. Just having concern shows you should talk to your doctor or therapist (Whoever…
