Going on vacation next week and I am eating to maintain, so this goes out to anyone on a low calorie intake to lose weight. Once you hit maintenance the amount of food you can eat is like a buffet :) I honestly get a bit gross feeling eating this much but I can't buy new clothes again lol looking forward to getting back…

Thank you I mean it. It's nice to know it can be done others inspired me cliche but if I can convince only one ... It's a win

I may not be the best at staying low calorie the next few weeks but my diary is open and I'm always welcoming to new friends! I log every day :) good or bad lol its the only way to stay honest with myself!

I ate myself into this and I will eat my way out of it LOL Great job keep it up!!! Life gets longer the more we can enjoy it...

I'll be honest I'm not 100% sure my scale didn't go above 300 but it's over 80 pounds since I hit the 300 mark.

My goal is a 100 but I am pretty sure it will be upped as I am closing in on the 60 lost, still a ways to go so if you'd like to add me I am game. I started in February and if your mind is ready, your body will follow!

Yeah now trying to guess how much I lost.. The scale only went to 300 soo the 50 I lost was after the scale hit that lol my birthday challenge :) and thanks everyone!

When I played most Bethesda games I disappeared for so long I am pretty sure family and friends thought I had passed on.. Needless to say I don't game anymore but I still like watching movies and come on if you didn't like Deadpool you have no sense of humor at all.

I turn 40 the end of this month, I set a goal of 100 pounds to lose in February so I am with you :)

I know I don't have to log to lose for a while, since well, I am fat. I log every day and sometimes day in advance though knowing as I get closer to my target I will have to monitor closer so might as well start now. Not counting and paying attention allowed me to get huge, counting and paying attention has allowed me to…

That's what I thought when I first started paying attention to the activity charts but like today my watch recorded 1079 activity calories 3577 total calories Mfp gave me my 13k steps for 600 calories. I am not upset by any means at losing so much weight quickly but I DO need to find a sustainable method and I know 1-2…

I appreciate all the replies :) I was hoping for a way to sync watch/mfp. I will continue to adjust caloric intake accordingly to get from 4/5 pounds a week to 2 pounds so I can maintain this forever :)

I have lost more than the 1-2 pounds a week consistently but I am trying to eat back more now because I am not in it for a crash diet(40 pounds in 8 weeks) I am in it for sustainable lifestyle. If you look at my diary I went from eating 1500 calories consistently up to 1800-2000 in the last few weeks trying to baseline a…

I don't know why it bugged me as much as it did, but just the other day a young lady commented that she wished she could eat "clean like I am" to lose weight. I don't eat clean, I eat crap but under calorie crap and I have explained it again and again when people bring up my weight loss.

Offer her a drink with a straw as for him make off hand comments about shrinkage.

I take One a Day Men's Health Formula, and 1600 calories or less a day. It costs me nothing but food costs, and it lost me 40 pounds since February. I do not want to do anything I cannot comfortably do for the rest of my life.

You look awesome and as the poster above said at least 10 years younger! Great job!

I want to be like you :) Thanks for the inspiration, yes we can!

I admit, one of the motivators for me is buying new clothes :) Great job!

I had/have a LOT to lose tho :) thanks and counting calories is the "secret" that's not a secret to me anymore lol

I am hoping because I feel like I lost a few decades sitting on tush to large to move around much lol And I hit 40 years old the end of this month, and I wanna live and I mean enjoy this life!

Fantastic job! Inspirational to all!

Thanks :smiley: I crossed MFPs 40 pounds lost mark this mornings weigh in. I probably lost a bit more than that but if not I am happy at 40 lost so far. Now that I can actually jog the weight seems to be sliding off my body, and I am feeling like a kid again! lol

Thank you, long way to go and a longer life to look forward too :)

I already reward myself every 10 pounds, whether it is shoes because who knew feet shrink with weight loss, or my first tattoo (scheduled later today :smiley: ) Already have an vacation scheduled for July in the Dominican Republic so that is pressure well if I want to scuba dive and not be the floater anyway. I just want…

Yeah I will hit 40 in 22 more days (not that I am counting lol) It was one of my motivators. The biggest is my 12 year old non verbal autistic daughter, I realized the longer I am around the better her life can be. My initial goal was get to 200 pounds but now that I am close to half way there I am shooting for lower LOL…

Thank you everyone I guess it makes sorta sense. With the CICO I assumed calories out would be the same or cause the same eating. I am however enjoying eating more :)

Yeah I was consistently full on 1600 calories a day now I am eating 1900 or so. I was never eating my exercise calories back, I am okay with doing that though! I was just curious how the same calorie burn was making me hungrier.

Day 50 yesterday was the second time I dipped into my exercise calories. If my body says eat, I eat if it doesn't then I don't. My mental play now with food is I see it as fuel not as something I desire but it is something I need so if I am empty I cannot move. Something is working I am down 35 plus pounds since I started…

I have never experienced the starvation feeling on my calorie counting diet. When I started I ate a garden sized serving of veggies with every meal (4oz haddock and an entire bag of steamed veggies 240 calories) You can do this!
