  • Yeah and I am the epitome of impatient. Eventually, I will get bored with it or really angry and stop because it's not coming off. So it is really best that it come off ASAP. It would be better if I saw results . . . but nope. Clothes still don't fit. Measurements are wonky. Scale not budging very fast. Stuck at 206.5 for…

  • I was recommended to eat 1200 a day . . . 1200 is min. I'm doing a step down approach. I did 1800 for a little bit till I had it nailed and I wasn't feeling like I was starving to death. Then 1600 . . . now I hit between 1300-1400. I did an 1136 2 days ago . . . but I got up late. I wouldn't do 1200 unless you want to feel…
    in mfp just starting. its saying 1230 daily calorie goal...does that seem low? Comment by shadowconn August 2015
  • Yogurt and bananas I have found works really well. This is from someone who once ate a pan of cinnamon rolls at 3am. A LARGE pan. like 18 of them. and if you tend to sleep eat like I do . . . no snack cakes . . no candy. no cereal in the house. I've also eaten entire boxes of cereal at 3am. And hten I wake up and go . .…

  • I'll end up weighing myself once a week in maintenance. If I gain, I'll go back to what I am doing now for a few days and try and eliminate whatever it was I was doing that caused it.

  • I have found that bacon salads from subway fit into my diet. Just be careful about sauces. Sweet onion is the lowest calorie other than straight vinegar.
    in What do you eat while out? Comment by shadowconn August 2015
  • It is possible to recover. I am 5'9" and got down to 125 about 10 years ago. (technically that's supposed to be the lowest healthy weight for my height) I looked worse than your 79 pound picture and my hair was falling out. I got up to 145 a couple years later. Just make sure you maintain your healthy weight. I now have to…

  • I can maintain it once I get rid of it. I've done it before. About 10 years ago actually. Maintained it for 7 . .took a desk job . . lost track. UGH . . . Now I gotta get it off again. Unfortunately, I know no one has any ideas cause I sure as heck can't figure it out. Went from 2500 - 4k calories a day down to 1800 . .…

  • I am incredibly ambitious. Most goals I set for myself are theoretically unattainable. Somehow I still manage to attain them. this one however is being very stubborn. My goal is to not spend the next year losing weight. Not even the next six month. I really don't want to be doing this very long as all as smoothies and stir…
