I'm frustrated because I keep saying, thanks, that's enough, but no..And now that person is asking me to post studies, wow... Doesn't that seem a little argumentative? It does to me...I get it I'm wrong, you're right, I think everyone has established that... whatever. If that's how he feels, good for him. Thanks for your…

Omg... I'm so over this... I have neither the time nor the desire to find and post studies supporting my statements. Does this mean you "win"?? If that makes you fell better, then ok! Congratulations, now move on... Pick on someone else you feel is "misinformed"... IDGAF anymore, I regret asking anything. I'll schedule an…

Thank you And thank you for the hug and support

Thanks for the clarification

So your recommendation is that I can eat the recommended calories and possibly some of the exercise calories, is that correct? Because that is exactly what I'm talking about, I'm not saying that I should be eating more than the recommended amount, I was asking if I should eat the recommended amount and people are saying…

Thanks for the links.. When I asked if I should eat more, I asked if I should eat the recommended calories, because I have not been, and I wondered if that may be why I'm not losing as quickly as I feel I should. And no, I don't think I'm in starvation mode, lol.

Thank you for your advice. So as I understand it, you ate the calories recommended? I'm confused about one thing you said though... It is conceivable that some people can do without eating them back, but it should be a very informed decision, not just a "I want to lose faster."[/quote] Are you suggesting that it may be…

I have been eating around 1000-1200 depending on the day

OMG!!! That is exactly what I have been saying!!! Yes I am having some weight loss. But what did you just say??? YOU ATE TOO LITTLE!! Then you followed the advise you got on MFP and you have ha sustained success. That's what I have been saying, but everyone has been saying, no... The less I eat the more I'll lose, that…

Excuse me, but I do weigh and measure EVERTHING I put in my mouth. MFP suggests 1900 + 500 for excerise= 2400 I have been eating WAY less.

I do weigh my food

Oh my those are a lot of questions! I just started using the app, but I have been keeping a food diary. When I got the app I plugged in days to see what I was doing. I do weigh or measure everything I put in my mouth. (When I shop I only buy from the produce and meat department. I have cut out all processed foods). I just…

Excuse me... How do you know that I'm not eating half? How do you know that I'm not weighing my food, etc? Don't judge me

Omg... I do weigh my food! I even make my own salad dressings!

So did you make it a point to eat less then recommended?

Well everyone seems to insist that since I'm eating half of what MFP recommends I should be losing more

1900 plus 500 from exercise

Yes, I understand that eating a low calorie diet is necessary to losing weight. I know exactly what I'm eating, I weigh my food and measure portions. My original question pertained to the fact that MFP recommended a certain amount of calories and looking through my diaries I have found that I am consistently under eating…

My point exactly

Thank you for your input. I will try eating the calories MFP suggests. I guess I was hoping for input from others like me that have massive amounts of weight to lose. But I think speaking to a dietitian is the wisest course of action.

I didn't answer the question about the scale because at that point I ceased to be interested in others' opinions. But for the record, I am very careful with serving sizes. Thank you for your concern

I'm seriously not interested in debating you. I have my opinions and experiences, and am no longer interested in others' opinions or thoughts on the matter. But thanks for the input

Thanks for your input....

In short, when you don't have consume enough calories your metabolism slows down because it thinks you are starving. So I don't agree that the less you eat the more you lose, within reason, of course. So, as I said, I respect your opinion, and I sincerely appreciate that you took time to advise me. I think I just need to…

Thanks

So are you saying that if it's saying that my daily caloric intake should be 1900 calories, but I have only been eating 1200 then I should be losing more weight, and eating the 1900 would cause me to lose less weight? Because according to this, I have been under eating. :/
