I am 5'2" and sedentary. MFP calculated this at 1 lb per week.

I'm in. Today's weight 147 Easter weight 137

I'll do it!

I can do this! I am in a 1200 calorie deficit and my current weight is 147. My goal.weight is 125.

Thanks everyone great advice! :-)

Yes I'm keeping to the 1200 cal. But sometimes I do go over cuz I'm hungry alot. I take a medication that has a side effect of increasing appetite, so I deal with it with lots of water and watermelon. Haha

I'm in Murphy.

Had dinner with the fam and Dont feel one bit guilty !

That happens to me often. I eat smart pop popcorn single pack is only 100 calories and I'll have cucumber slices. In fact that is what I'm doing right now!

Yes stop taking them they Dont work anyway

I took them and it stopped working after a week. My hunger came back and I had side effects like confusion and irritability. Stopped taking them and just started using MFP every day, CICO method and am losing weight. I also noticed when I would do cardio when taking the pills my heart would hurt. I didn't like them so I…

Great explanation @samanthachen. That helped me too!

Yes to all. I exercise. I bloat and I crave chocolate real bad. I started taking a water pill. Helps with bloat alot.

is your picture current? Are you still trying to lose? You look pretty trim. Sounds like water bloat. My weight fluctuates through out the week like that. Some days I drink over a gallon of water and I get bloated. I started taking a water pill in the mornings and it's helps but I pee like 12 times a day! LOL The scale…

Play around with this calculator. I love it. Dont give up! You can do this! https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/bwp/

I don't log anything with 0 calories and I'm still losing. I drink a lot of diet green tea and have a diet coke at least once a week.

Yup, count it all joy!

Good to know. Thanks!

Could us women be built like this on purpose so we can carry our kids on one hip all the time? Lol

I just started taking them. Im doing calorie deficit with cardio a few times a week. No difference in weight except from deficit. Not sure if supplements will help with weight loss but my son trains professional athletes and he recommended them to me. So we'll see.

My son's wedding in October. My first thought was "OMG PICTURES!" That was it. I'm on a mission...

I agree. 100 calories more helped me with the hunger.

Yes, I was disappointed that I gave into chocolate this weekend and went over my calorie goal both Sat and Sun. This week I'm determined to stay on track. Was up 2 lbs. from bloat etc. I figured I was because I felt it. It's also my female thing.... I'm keeping positive today tho. I can't let the blues sink in too deep.

I went over this weekend with chocolate. I made a vow to stick to my goals this week no matter what.

You can look at my food diary. I am doing calorie deficit, losing about .5 to 1 lb a week. Slow and steady.

My son is getting married October and I plan to have 30 lbs gone by then. So far losing about .5-1 lb a week. It's slow but better this way. I'm learning better eating habits so it's becoming more of a lifestyle now. Congrats! You can do it!

I just bought the Smart Pop single servings (100 calories). Helps me with eating too much.

Make MFP your new best friend. Log your food faithfully and figure out your meals the night before and stick to it the next day. I just started recently myself (a few weeks) and MFP has helped me TREMENDOUSLY. You can look at my food diary if you like. I've started a pretty strict calorie deficit but its working. I'm…

cucumbers

add me. I'm on a mission too...
