The first week I added 200 calories a day , then 100 a day for 1 more week. kept it up till I go to the point where I weighed the same for 2-3 weeks then stay with that. I was able to maintaine for 2 monthes. I went from 1100- 1800 calories. This is with biking 5 miles a day for 5 days a week. During that time I weighed…

I'm 60 , with high BP and colesteral, Doctor told me to start walking. I know that sounds boring but that would get you in better shape to lift. I'm bike riding now and my colesteral is almost normal. BP is normal. I started slow and am doing 5-10 mile bike rides with no problem.

question is how did you figure out you maintanace calories. if you gaining or loosing you are not maintaining or eating maintanace calories. I know there are calculators but finding the correct calories is some thing you have to figure out your self by adding or subtracting a small amount over sever weeks while closely…

I went from 145 to 139 while trying to get to my maintanace calories. You just have to add some more calories. I added 100 a day for a week till I stopped loosing.

5'2' 138 60 years old 1600 calories, do 5 mile bike rides 4-5 days a week.

I'm on a low sodium diet so I would have to pass on a chinese buffet.

I took a weight loss vacation. and now I'm loosing weight at a higher calorie rate than before. March 1st I couldn't take it any more so I started going to maintanace. i added 100 calories a week till i quit loosing. I only got to 1600 calories, up from 1200. ( I lost weight during this time) I stayed there for about 3…

I started at 182 lbs. in oct 2015. My husband and I reduced our calorie intake and started walking. I'm down to 139 and my husband lost 20 pounds. We were able to get in good enough shape we bought bikes in March and now we go on 10 mile rides. Most the weight was lost before we got the bikes. I still go for a walk every…

there is alot of magnesium in greens. Kale, collards, spinich ect.

I've added 200-300 a day the first week, then add 100 a day each week after that. weigh once a week and add or subtract as needed . Ive been doing this for 8 weeks and everything is working well. I am still loosing about 1 pound a week. I don't think Your going to gain very fast.

If your loosing weight to fast add calories either to your childs meals or yours. so you both weigh enough. Kinda like maintaining.

I tryed to go from walking to running, Found out it was a no go. So I tryed a bike. That worked with no problem. Lost a lot of weight on the bike. And I get my errands done this way.

I started to go on maintenace 10 pounds ahead of time. I was trying to get to 135. But I kept loosing weight even with adding 100 calories a day every week. It's been a month and I am only 500 calories more than my diet calories. I was at 147 a month ago. this morning I weighed 141. So I'm going to keep adding the 100…

stuff I buy is mostly regular, but I grow my garden organic. Both are cheaper for me.

we just broke ground Yesterday. So we planted potatoes this morning. Next will be onions. I have tomatos, cabbage, brocolli and other greens started in pots for planting later. The garlic was planted last fall and is up good, but I'm not really sure how the shallots did this winter. mostly we'll be planting Oats and peas…

I average my calories over a 7 day period. So if I go over 1 day I subtract part of them from the next day. Then part from the next 6 days till there gone. If I took them all from 1 day I would be to hungry and be tempted to eat to much again.

Add a little more each day till your eating enough. Choose healthy foods while your at it.

I looked at some the sodium was so high I decided to skip it and cook my own.

I'm starting to understand why my basically thin grandmother had a scale in her bathroom.

I quit using both. because i had high cholesteral. didn't need the calories.

i prefer potatoes. and since I grow alot of them they're my favorite. but You can but like 10 pounds of rice for $5 at the canned food store we go to so we do eat some. And it keep well.

there weere 25 cent bags of chips last time I went shopping.

I'm tired of the scale moving down. Every time it does I have to get new clothes. Any time it wants to stop will be all right with me.

i skip the bread,

we use it with salad greens in place of dressing.along with the greens ,cottage cheese we put what ever we have. Can turn into a full meal deal.

I eat 1 twice a week. My cholesteral was very high. So I'm waiting to see if it goes down then I'll think about eating more. we have 10 chickens that lay 7 eggs a day. we used to eat most all of them.expected my dr. to tell me how many to eat but she was no
