How are you calculating your calorie intake? Are you weighing all solid/semi-solid foods on a digital scale? Measuring all liquids with spoons/cups?

Not for me. I work a 16hr shift tomorrow to allow those who celebrate to do so. Hope everyone enjoys their holiday!

Their hummus is amazing!

I'm not sure how to answer this. As far as I know there's no hard, fast rule about this. I will say my rear end has become a shelf over the last year or two. I've lost 31lbs so far and can't tell anywhere except the shelf seems smaller. So maybe so...

After adjusting it did you try the 10lb weight again? If so, it's time for a new scale. Don't be surprised if the new scale shows a different number though. Rarely do two scales weigh the same.

Garlic, hot sauce/salsa, sea salt

^^Maybe lentils?

A salad but not a typical salad. 1/2 avocado 150g roma tomatoes 75g English cucumber 70g red onion 5-10g fresh cilantro 1/2 tbsp evoo Juice from 1 lemon Pink Himilayian sea salt Garlic It's sooooo good. A HUGE amount of food and only 250 calories. Just need to figure out another 50-100 calorie ingredient of protein to add…

Eggs, turkey sausage, and an English muffin. I had a HUGE, HUGE amount of veggies with avocado and evoo for lunch so dinner is mostly protein and fat tonight :)

Great job and an even better attitude <3

+100

Oh, I agree 100% That's why I suggested only eating back 33-50% to start.

A lot will depend on the size of the individual. A heavier person will burn more calories for the steps taken. I'm 300lbs and 15,000 steps gets me about 800 calories. If I eat them all back I lose 2ppw. If iI only eat back half I lose 3ppw. So this is an accurate # for my body.

Glad I could help ;)

I'm in Challenge start weight 301 Challenge end goal weight 275

Dang, that's a lot of calories it's adding just for 10,000 steps. I would no way be comfortable eating them all. At least to start. If it were me I'd pick a percentage maybe 33%-50% and eat that amount back for a few weeks. Then I'd analyze the data. Did I lose what I expected? Did I lose more? Less? Then adjust…

Great post! Thanks for taking the time to do this <3

I generally eat 2-3 / 4-5 days a week. Last cholesterol test had my total cholesterol at 136.

I actually recalculate mine each week if I lose weight. I usually lose 2lb a week and when I recalculate it usually drops my total by 10 calories. May be overkill, but that's what I do.

I supplement with a daily protein shake w/30g of protein. Otherwise I'd come up short most days.

So I put your numbers in a TDEE calculator and it looks like your TDEE, if truly sedentary and female, is somewhere around 1749. MFP is giving you 1200 calories a day because that is the minimum recommended calories for a female. It takes a 500 calorie daily deficit to lose 1 pound per week. So at 1200 calories a day you…

You look amazing! Though you were radiant before, I'm sure you feel much better now. I am so happy for you and can't wait to have the same success!

Hi, I'm Sonya. In 41 and joined MFP Jan 6 of this year. I've been on a yoyo for about 25 years. Weight swings of about 80lbs 3-4 times now. This past January I realized I'd gained 42 pounds over my last "all time high." Something had to change. That's when I found MFP. I was 331.6 pounds. Today I'm 301.6. So I'm down…

I'm you. Our you're me. Not sure which, lol. Regardless, our stories seem the same.

Just joined! Me: 1 Binge: 0 DBF:5

I'm so happy to have found this group! My name is Sonya and I'm 41 years old. I found and joined MFP Jan 6 of this year. I'm currently down 31 pounds since then. I have had a real struggle with binge eating for the last 20 or so years. I've NEVER had anyone I could admit this to. I eat out of control when I'm alone (first…

Look at fat as a minimum. Fats help move things along the digestive tract as well as many other uses. They are essential to health. Also water. When you up your fiber amount you need to increase water consumption as well.
